The world is kept on changing, especially in telecommunication. In the early 90’s we were shocked by electronic mail that are free and faster then ordinary land mail. Then lately phone are growing as well, operating system for gadgets such as RIM (Royal in Motion), Android, Symbian, etc. But basically most of them run in GPRS, Edge, or 3G/3,5G network, now we’re shocked again with 4G network, new improvement of 3.5G network.

4G technology using the WiMax standard will enhance the global business world. Imagine if we could watch TV and video on mobile phones without halting. Financial transactions such as transfers and payments for purchase of goods or services can use a gadget phone. The flexibility and 24/7 connection would very handy and enhance productivity.

3G wireless seems to be all about new technology, multibillion-dollar expansions and high-wire international finance deals with little or no discussion of service offerings or value propositions. Surely investors know what this could lead to, so why is most of the wireless world making this huge bet on 3G?
One important motivation: 3G is more efficient and simply works better. Since it is packet-based it uses wireless spectrum more efficiently than first- or second-generation systems. This is particularly important for data communications because of the discontinuous and bursty nature of the traffic. Secondly, a packet-based system can send and receive messages (and calls) simultaneously from two or more cell sites while 2G systems choose the “best” site and stay locked on it until the signal is handed off. The packet-by-packet approach provides more reliable and better quality communications by a statistical hedging process similar to the portfolio theory of stock market investing. (more…)

Everest Broadband Networks, one of the leaders in the fast-growing building local exchange carrier (BLEC) telecommunications market, today announced its acquisition of Metrocomm International Inc. The acquisition is Everest’s first and is in line with its core strategy of becoming one of the industry’s leading building service providers (BSP) by sustaining aggressive growth through both organic expansion and acquisition.

When was the last time you surfed the Net on your mobile phone and were limited by its small screen? Have you ever wanted to hook onto the Web but found yourself connectivity-handicapped because you were not in a hotspot? Wireless technologies of all kinds ranging from mobile phones running on 3G technologies to laptops utilising Wi-Fi facilities are fast re-shaping the way we work and play.

While incremental changes to router technology have made them faster, denser (number of interfaces) and generally more efficient, the router’s basic monolithic architecture, in which a single processor performs all routing calculations, hasn’t changed. This has become more of a hindrance than a help to carriers, ISPs and enterprises looking to extend the reach of their networks while having to cut capital and operations costs.
Because monolithic routers only support a single routed network, large numbers of routers must be deployed in any location servicing multiple customers, networks or network services. Virtual routers attempt to solve this scalability problem using software to share a single route processor among multiple customers, but this approach is wrought with potential hazards and still contains the monolithic route-processing architecture that is the underlying problem.
