Nokia Siemens Networks and Qualcomm introduces the world’s first “HSPA+ (4G) Multiflow” which may offer Data Rates Upto 600 Mbps and also provide some relief from depressed data network connectivity while on move.
Known as HSPA+ Multiflow, it allows devices located close to the edge of a mobile base station’s cell to connect with a second /another base station serving a neighboring cell. The ‘Multiflow’ name refers to the two different paths data can then take to reach a device.
The feature makes far more efficient use of network resources, delivering up to double the data speed up to 600 Mbps and up to 50% faster response compared to existing HSPA+ 4G networks. Read more…
Back in the day’s people mostly used wire lines to communicate. It was noticed that customers never liked if they had to change there telephone numbers if they move from one place to other.
The wireless industry was just picking up then.Number Portability came making it possible for subscribers to move from one place to other, one service provider to other and one service to other without changing their telephone/mobile numbers. Number portability (NP) was designed for wire-line industry keeping the wire-less industry in view.
There was need for additional technology to be in place for NP to operate. A number portability data base was created and all the subscriber numbers who have ported were stored in it.
Since multiple operators are involved it was decided to bring in place a neutral vendor to manage and maintain this data base. Read more…
Let me introduce a new mobile technology from Qualcomm – ‘WCDMA+’. WCDMA+ is made to provide more efficient voice, to triple the efficiency of today’s WCDMA voice networks.
In fact WCDMA+ can free up up to 70% of cell data capacity for more HSPA+ data.While voice traffic is stabilising for last months, data demand is growing at an exponential rate, this new technology will able the operators to get more out of their precious spectrum resources.
WCDMA+ achieves impressive 3x increase in spectrum resource through a combination of standard, independent device enhancements, and radio link improvements that are planned to be standardized in future 3GPP releases. Read more…
Leading mobile phone maker Nokia India and Gurgaon Traffic Police have joined hands to launch a traffic management project called ‘3rdEYE’ in Gurgaon in the state of Haryana.
The project, aimed to leverage technology as an enabler to curb traffic disruption in the satellite town, will be implemented across the East, West and Highway traffic zones in its first phase.
The 3rdEYE pilot has been in operation since 1st week of June-2011 at many locations in Gurgaon and 50 Gurgaon Traffic constables have been trained on 3rd EYE technology and provided with Tselina enabled Nokia E5 handset.
Under the project 3rdEye, Top 5 violations captured with Nokia E5 Handsets are : Not stopping at correct place at red light (53%), Parking in No parking Area (22%), Overloaded Vehicle (9%), Driving without proper number plate Read more…
With spectrum crunch and more subscribers using mobile internet, operators over the globe are fighting to make a congestion free network. Most operators moving towards diet data plans ditching buffet of unlimited data plans. Even operators pledge to the users not to abuse the network – ‘save your heavy jobs for home broadband’.
Pioneer of GPRS in India, Aircel also moved to data cap of 3GB/month withdrawing unlimited usage. Now for Rs 100 we can have 2GB to 6GB data usage per month over GPRS/EDGE network from most operators.
On 2G segment only MTNL, STel and Videocon continue the unlimited data plans. After using the free data charge is around 10p/10kB which is Rs 10/MB or Rs 10,000/GB. 3G data plans are also damn costly, and Pay-As-You-Go plans are ridiculously costly. With fast 3G connections, 2GB can be blinked away within a week and after a month you will get a bill shock! Read more…
Following World IPv6 Day on June 8, which allowed organizations and individuals with IPv6 connectivity to test the new Internet addressing system but may have left some feeling underprepared for the transition, ICSA Labs is offering seven tips to help IT organizations.
The new addressing system, known as Internet Protocol version 6, or IPv6, will replace the current system, Internet Protocol version 4, which has been in place since the 1980s and whose pool of addresses has almost been used up.
ICSA Labs, an independent division of Verizon and the first third-party laboratory accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to test IPv6 product Read more…
