Regulator’s move on telemarketing calls unfair: operators
2008-03-24 10:33:00
New Delhi, March 18 (IANS) Indian telecom operators Tuesday decried the industry regulator’s move to impose monetary penalties for unsolicited telemarketing calls and SMSs made to the subscriber. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) Monday announced the amendment of the Telecom Unsolicited Commercial Communications (UCC) Regulations.“(The) amendment is most unfair to the industry and we are all greatly discouraged and concerned that the authority is seeking to impose penalties on service providers for the unsolicited commercial calls made by telemarketing agencies over whom the service providers have little or no control,” the operators said in a letter to TRAI chairman Nripendra Misra.The letter has been written by leading cellular bodies - Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) and Association of Unified Telecom Service Providers of India - representing mobile operators offering services under both GSM and CDMA technologies.“It is this poor compliance b...

2008-03-24 04:04:00
by Abbi Swanson · March 19, 2008The Mount Vernon City Council on Monday dealt with a variety of topics, including lowering highway speeds, bidding for new wells, appointments, street projects and telecommunication enhancement. Speed s on Hwy. 30 in the city limits will soon be lowered, following the Mount Vernon City Council’s approval of the third and final reading of a new ordinance.Speeds from 50 miles per hour down to 35 m.p.h. will be in effect as soon as the ordinance is published and signs are posted. Council member Neil Rud said, “this is a good first step but not the last step” toward a safer highway. During a public hearing, city engineer Dan Boggs discussed the process for digging two new wells, numbers nine and 10, in Elliott Athletic Complex on the city’s north side. Boggs said the wells would most likely be dug one at a time, and will be 350 feet deep or more, hopefully with a 300-gallon per minute capacity.The city will not drill a test well, Boggs said, becau...

New Delhi: The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) Monday announced stricter measures for the telecom operators who have failed to rein in unsolicited telemarketing calls. Budget 2008-09The regulator announced the notification of the Telecom Unsolicited Commercial Communications (UCC) (Amendment) Regulations, 2008 to give more teeth to the policy of stopping unsolicited calls.The policy, announced last year, has had very little effect."The objective is to increase the effectiveness of compliance of these regulations by providing financial disincentive to non-compliant telecom service providers and thereby reducing the nuisance and inconvenience to the subscribers of telephone/mobile services from the unsolicited telemarketing calls/messages," TRAI said in a statement.A service provider who fails to take necessary action after the first complaint made by a user would be charged Rs 5,000 while in case of second such non-compliance the service provider would be charged Rs 20,0...

Tidbits from the ever-changing ICT world
2008-03-17 04:15:00
We all know that the research and development people in the information and communications technologies industry never go to sleep. That is why I receive a lot of press releases, announcements, invitations to product launches, etc. It's getting more and more difficult to find the time to sit in front of my computer and write about them* So, I think this week I'll give you a roundup of what's out there and what's coming.Notebooks on a dietNotebook computers are becoming lighter and thinner; makers seem to be vying against one another in a race to reduce the weight of their products by slimming down the bodies.Earlier this year, Steve Jobs introduced MacBook Air, a notebook that is less than two centimeters thick. It claims to be the world's thinnest notebook (for now) and it fits into an office envelop. Like other Mac computers, style is as strong as the technology.But, then, those who cannot seem to leave Windows and migrate to Mac, the good news came a bit later. Lenovo return...

Fiber-optic communication
2008-01-18 03:56:00
Optical fiberAn optical fiber (or fibre) is a glass or plastic fiber designed to guide light along its length. Fiber optics is the overlap of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and application of optical fibers. Optical fibers are widely used in fiber-optic communication, which permits transmission over longer distances and at higher data rates than other forms of communications. Fibers are used instead of metal wires because signals travel along them with less loss, and they are immune to electromagnetic interference. Optical fibers are also used to form sensors, and in a variety of other applications.Light is kept in the "core" of the optical fiber by total internal reflection. This causes the fiber to act as a waveguide. Fibers which support many propagation paths or transverse modes are called multimode fibers (MMF). Fibers which support only a single mode are called singlemode fibers (SMF). Multimode fibers generally have a large-diameter core, and are us...

High-Speed Downlink Packet Access"HSDPA"
2008-01-07 12:09:00
High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is a 3G (third generation) mobile telephony communications protocol in the High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) family, which allows networks based on Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) to have higher data transfer speeds and capacity. Current HSDPA deployments support down-link speeds of 1.8, 3.6, 7.2 and 14.4 Mbit/s. Further speed increases are planned for the near future. The networks are then to be upgraded to Evolved HSPA, which provides speeds of 42 Mbit/s downlink in its first release.TechnologyThe High-Speed Downlink Shared Channel (HS-DSCH) lacks two basic features of other W-CDMA channels — variable spreading factor and fast power control. Instead, it delivers the improved downlink performance using adaptive modulation and coding (AMC), fast packet scheduling at the base station, and fast retransmissions from the base station, known as hybrid automatic repeat-request (HARQ).Hybrid automatic repeat-request (HARQ)HARQ use...

General Packet Radio Service "GPRS"
2008-01-03 11:36:00
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a Mobile Data Service available to users of Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and IS-136 mobile phones. It provides data rates from 56 up to 114 Kbps.GPRS data transfer is typically charged per kilobyte of transferred data, while data communication via traditional circuit switching is billed per minute of connection time, independent of whether the user has actually transferred data or has been in an idle state. GPRS can be used for services such as Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) access, Short Message Service (SMS), Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), and for Internet communication services such as email and World Wide Web access.2G cellular systems combined with GPRS is often described as "2.5G", that is, a technology between the second (2G) and third (3G) generations of mobile telephony. It provides moderate speed data transfer, by using unused Time division multiple access (TDMA) channels in, for example, the GSM system. Ori...

A Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT), is a two-way satellite ground station with a dish antenna that is smaller than 3 meters (most VSAT antennas range from 75 cm to 1.2 m). VSAT data rates typically range from narrowband up to 4 Mbit/s. VSATs access satellites in geosynchronous orbit to relay data from small remote earth stations (terminals) to other terminals (in mesh configurations) or master earth station "hubs" (in star configurations).VSATs are most commonly used to transmit narrowband data (point of sale transactions such as credit card, polling or RFID data; or SCADA), or broadband data (for the provision of Satellite Internet access to remote locations, VoIP or video). VSATs are also used for transportable, on-the-move (with phased-array antennas) or mobile maritime (such as Vizada or Eutelsat services) communications.UsageThe first commercial VSATs were C band (6 GHz) receive-only systems by Equatorial Communications using spread spectrum technology.

Voice over Internet Protocol "VOIP"

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a protocol optimized for the transmission of voice through the Internet or other packet switched networks. VoIP is often used abstractly to refer to the actual transmission of voice (rather than the protocol implementing it). VoIP is also known as IP Telephony, Internet telephony, Broadband telephony, Broadband Phone and Voice over Broadband. "VoIP" is pronounced voyp.Companies providing VoIP service are commonly referred to as providers, and protocols which are used to carry voice signals over the IP network are commonly referred to as Voice over IP or VoIP protocols. They may be viewed as commercial realizations of the experimental Network Voice Protocol (1973) invented for the ARPANET providers. Some cost savings are due to utilizing a single network to carry voice and data, especially where users have existing underutilised network capacity that can carry VoIP at no additional cost. VoIP to VoIP phone calls are sometimes free, while VoIP to...

WiMAX, the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access , is a telecommunications technology aimed at providing wireless data over long distances in a variety of ways, from point-to-point links to full mobile cellular type access. It is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, which is also called WirelessMAN. The name WiMAX was created by the WiMAX Forum, which was formed in June 2001 to promote conformance and interoperability of the standard. The forum describes WiMAX as "a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL."The terms "fixed WiMAX", "mobile WiMAX", "802.16d" and "802.16e" are frequently used incorrectly. Correct definitions are:802.16dStrictly speaking, 802.16d has never existed as a standard. The standard is correctly called 802.16-2004 and was developed by the IEEE 802.16 Task Group d. Therefore the project was called 802.16d, but the standard never was. However, since this standard is frequent...

Code division multiple access (CDMA)
2007-12-31 05:31:00
Code division multiple access (CDMA ) describes a communication channel access principle that employs spread-spectrum technology and a special coding scheme (where each transmitter is assigned a code). In communications technology, there are only three domains that can allow multiplexing to be implemented for more efficient use of the available channel bandwidth and these domains are known as time, frequency and space.CDMA divides the access in signal space. By contrast, time division multiple access (TDMA) divides access by time, while frequency-division multiple access (FDMA) divides it by frequency. CDMA is a form of "spread-spectrum" signaling, since the modulated coded signal has a much higher bandwidth than the data being communicated.An analogy to the problem of multiple access is a room (channel) in which people wish to communicate with each other. To avoid confusion, people could take turns speaking (time division), speak at different pitches (frequency division), or speak i...

Global System for Mobile communications (GSM: originally from Groupe Spécial Mobile) is the most popular standard for mobile phones in the world. Its promoter, the GSM Association, estimates that 82% of the global mobile market uses the standard. GSM is used by over 2 billion people across more than 212 countries and territories.Its ubiquity makes international roaming very common between mobile phone operators, enabling subscribers to use their phones in many parts of the world. GSM differs from its predecessors in that both signaling and speech channels are digital call quality, and so is considered a second generation (2G) mobile phone system. This has also meant that data communication were built into the system using the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).The key advantage of GSM systems to consumers has been better voice quality and low-cost alternatives to making calls, such as the Short message service (SMS, also called "text messaging"). The advantage for network op...
