...Second Generation (2G) technology was launched in the year 1991 in Finland. It is based on the technology known as global system for mobile communication or in short we can say GSM. This technology enabled various networks to provide services like text messages, picture messages and MMS. In this technology all text messages are digitally encrypted due to which only the intended receiver receives message. These digital signals consume less battery power, so it helps in saving the battery of mobiles. The technologies used in 2G are either TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) which divides signal into different time slots or CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) which allocates a special code to each user so as to communicate over a multiplex physical channel. 3G technology generally refers to the standard of accessibility and speed of mobile devices. It was first used in Japan in the year 2001. The standards of the technology were set by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). This technology enables use of various services like GPS (Global Positioning System), mobile television and video conferencing. It not only enables them to be used worldwide, but also provides with better bandwidth and increased speed. This technology is much more flexible as it can support 5 major radio technologies that operate under CDMA, TDMA and FDMA. CDMA accounts for IMT-DS (direct speed), IMT-MC (multi carrier). TDMA holds for IMT-TC (time code), IMT-SC (single carrier). This...

...Present Situation iTV (an interactive television service) was commercially launched by the former Cable & Wireless Hong Kong Telecom (HKT) in march 1998. Its performance in the first two years of operation had not lived up to the company’s expectations. The company reported a net loss of US$335 million for the six months to 30 September, 1999. When the takeover offer was initially valued US$36 billion in February 2000, it was based on PCCW’s share price of US$2.84 at the time. On 4 July, 2000, the Hong Kong Government offered the new pay television program the service license to new five new operators. Then on 17 August, 2000 Pacific Century Cyber Works (PCCW) takeover HKT. On 24 September 2000, a local newspaper reported the investors who took up PCCW’s from the replacement had experienced a paper loss of US$110.67 million in just two days. The stock price of PCCW had fallen from its peak of US$3.65 in February, 2000 to around US$0.77 in early November 2000. The company’s share price continued to drop amidst the uncertainties about the fate of PCCW’s alliance with Australia’s Telstra Crop. in early October. The agreement was eventually signed on 13 October, 2000, with Telstra’s cash injection into PCCW re negotiated fromUS$3 billion to US$2.43 billion. Although the joint venture with Telstra helped to reduce PCCW’s debt by US$3.56 billion, PCCW still needed to make an effort to improve its financial situation, which as burdened by the outstanding balance of the US$9 billion...

Technology industry is also blooming faster. Macro companies are seen to bet small wearable devices. Talking of wearable devices, such concerns a broad category of trackers that includes: fitness trackers, smart watches, smart glasses, clothes with embedded sensors and even tattoos. Wearable devices are not meant to replace smart phones, on the contrary, they act as satellite device that give useful data Apple iwatch Apple iwatch can only be paired with another iphone but one at a time. Another security feature of the apple iwatch is that they have not activated the activation lock in the apple iwatch yet. Hence, in times of the iwatch being stolen, someone will not be able to access the owner’s data since pairing this device to their phone will immediately delete all data clean. It has a standard blue tooth 4.1 that is used for pairing. (Lobodzinski, 2012) Encryption keys used in the iphone for communication between apple watch and the iphone are also much secured using class-based protection. Apple watch has an in-built wi-fi. When it is outside the range of its Bluetooth icloud is used as connection between the devices. When apple iwatch uses siri security, the device randomly uses its own random identifier. It produces all information that apple phone has sent to the iphone. Fit Bit In fit bit...

...On the night of October 14, 2007, I attended my first concert. It was held at 6 o’clock p.m. on the Bluff at Henry George Park in Fairhope, AL. The concert was sponsored by the City of Fairhope and the Fairhope Single Tax Corporation. The concert featured music from the late Classical Era, the Romantic Era and the 20th Century Era. The Pops Band performed under conductors Randy Davis and Dr. Roger Jones. The first two selections, The Star Spangled Banner and Strike Up the Band were both played in quadruple meter. Randy Davis conducted both pieces. The Star Spangled Banner was a bold and energetic arrangement. There were very few changes in dynamics. In Strike Up the Band there was a lot of energy. The trumpets, piccolo and snare drums had solos. The tempo changed many times during the piece. It started fast and bold then it slowed slightly in the middle and the ending was the same as the beginning. Nobles of the Mystic Shrine brought us Dr. Roger Jones as the conductor. This piece had a Turkish sound and was played in duple meter. There were piccolo and trumpet solos and an overall fast tempo. The fourth arrangement played was, A tribute to Stephen Foster, that was played in quadruple meter. There was a trumpet, flute, horn, and drum quartette that introduced a quick tempo and a loud opening. In the middle the tempo slowed and there is a huge change in dynamics. Where the piece started loud and bold it became soft and light. This section had horn solos, flute solos...

...penetrate many non-polar, non-conducting materials such as clothing, paper, masonry or plastic. They can penetrate fog and clouds. Their wavelength corresponds revealingly with bio molecular vibrations. Terahertz radiation, also known as t-rays, has wavelength of 3-100 cm-1. Terahertz radiation was discovered in 1896. Unless they're at a temperature of absolute zero (−273.16°C), all objects, animate and inanimate, give off terahertz radiation (called T-rays), the heat from molecular vibrations. No one knew how to make T-rays bright enough to actually use in the everyday world. Attempts with semiconductors produced only wimpy T-rays, 1/2,000th of a watt at most. One way to make terahertz radiation is based on an ultra-fast laser. The THz band were initially being referred as “terahertz gap” due to two reasons. Firstly, there were not any proper and affordable signal sources, which are capable of transmitting signals in those frequencies, and secondly the neighbour frequencies around this frequency range are being used in electronics and optical technologies. Recently, with the...

... VII. Mobile Broadband VIII. Power line Communication IX. DSL X. Wireless ISP 3. Broadband Services I. In Telecommunication System II. In Data Communication 4. Bibliography 5. Appendix Introduction Broadband Internet access, often shortened to just broadband, is a high data rate Internet access—typically contrasted with dial-up access using a 56k modem. Dial-up modems are limited to a bitrate of less than 56 kbit/s (kilobits per second) and require the full use of a telephone line—whereas broadband technologies supply more than double this rate and generally without disrupting telephone use. Although various minimum bandwidths have been used in definitions of broadband, ranging up from 64 kbit/s up to 2.0 Mbit/s, the 2006 OECD report is typical by defining broadband as having download data transfer rates equal to or faster than 256 kbit/s, while the United States (US) Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as of 2009, defines "Basic Broadband" as data transmission speeds exceeding 768 kilobits per second (Kbps), or 768,000 bits per second, in at least one direction: downstream (from the Internet to the user’s computer) or upstream (from the user’s computer to the Internet). The trend is to raise the threshold of the broadband definition as the marketplace rolls out faster services. There are many different technologies that enable broadband connection speeds. The most mainstream of these include fiber, cable, DSL, mobile broadband...

...Toggle Boggle Company’s Marketing Plan: Part A Marketing Management, MKT500 July 27, 2014 Executive Summary Started in 2013 by two application developers in their home office, the Toggle Boggle Company was built upon an idea. The idea pertains to the compatibility of multiple display devices, almost all of them with some level of computing power that run proprietary applications like Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, Facetime, and Skype. These application developers realized that a growing demand was building to realize compatibility between a smartphone, a tablet and a television. Why can’t I browse the web from my phone and display on my television? Why is it not possible to make a Facetime video call on the iPad and view it on a large screen? Why can’t I watch my television programming on my tablet? The answers to these questions led to the invention of the Toggle Boggle©. This device now makes cross-device compatibility seamless for any user. Growing from a single prototype, the Toggle Boggle Company started their company with a limited production run to test consumer reactions and the perceived value of their product. The product was a hit! Initial IPO and investment response has allowed the Toggle Boggle Company to operate one major manufacturing plant that is collocated with their corporate headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina with 220 employees. The company’s vision illustrates their brand value: “Technology should not be learned, but rather intuitive...
