Mobile and wireless white papers

Jinny Software, a global supplier of messaging, call completion, mobile advertising and rich communications solutions to mobile operators announces the release of the white paper entitled: The Business Case for VAVOOMB.

Mobile backhaul is a crucial part of the mobile network that links the Radio Access Network (RAN) and the mobile core network. Typically it consists of access and aggregation portions of a mobile network. Mobile backhaul traffic is expected to explode with the growing consumer interest in smartphones, dongles, and netbooks that demand high data bandwidth. Increasing numbers of mobile subscribers, irrespective of economic conditions, is another major contributing factor.

Global service providers have elected TR-069 as the management protocol of choice - offering rich management capabilities for a wide range of devices including DSL, cable, and Ethernet residential gateways (RG), fiber optical network terminals (ONTs), IPTV settop boxes (STBs), network attached storage (NAS), powerline adapters, femtocells, IP phones, and more.

From mass merchants to convenience stores, retailers use wireless networks to transform the shopping experience and streamline store operations. In warehouses, headquarters offices, stock rooms and sales floors, retailers depend on wireless network access for applications including mobile point-of-sale, price checking, voice communications, inventory management, digital signage and video surveillance.

Thanks to social media, expectations for customer service and support have sky-rocketed — and remote agents are the answer to keeping up. And thanks to the new breed of centralized all-in-one IP communications systems, companies anywhere, of any size, can successfully utilize remote agents.

The potential benefits of Mobile Broadband are far more than just bandwidth. In the future, it will be possible for everyone to create, access, and share information and engage in social and gaming activities in a completely mobile networked world through any terminal, at any time, from any location. Despite industry expectations, the evolution of Mobile Broadband is influenced by irregular development in four areas: services and applications, terminals, pricing, and networks. Along with the continuous convergence of the ICT industry, services and applications, terminals, and pricing have, over recent years, reached optimum conditions and achieved revolutionary breakthroughs.

Mobile broadband is becoming a reality, as the internet generation grows accustomed to having broadband access wherever they go and not just at home or in the office. Of the estimated 3.4 billion people who will have broadband by 2014, about 80% will be mobile broadband subscribers - and the majority will be served by High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) and Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks.

Most enterprises understand that mobility can bring enormous advantages and cost savings, yet many are uncertain of how to realise these benefits fully. The time has come for enterprises to adopt mobility strategies: to standardize, support, plan for and deploy mobile solutions throughout their organizations in ways that control costs and directly support business objectives. With the ongoing convergence of fixed and mobile technologies, and with the advent of mobile broadband capabilities, the potential for mobility to become an integrated and coherent enterprise tool has never been greater.

The latest video compression standard, H.264 (also known as MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC for Advanced Video Coding), is expected to become the video standard of choice in the coming years. H.264 is an open, licensed standard that supports the most efficient video compression techniques available today.

A key step in implementing a unit-based multivariable control application like Honeywell's Profit Controller is determining whether all the required process variables are available in the DCS. If that information is not available, it's important to either wire them in, often at considerable expense, or to proceed without them.

The impressive uptake of mobile broadband services based on High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) is founded on excellent performance, low cost and seamless fall-back to GPRS/Edge, which results in great coverage from day one. New technologies are being developed to further improve the coexistence of GSM and WCDMA and pave the way for the introduction of LTE (Long Term Evolution).

The internet has had a dramatic impact on our private and professional lives. And its importance continues to grow. To fully enjoy the benefits of the internet, however, users need a broadband connection. In coming years, millions of people will turn to wireless technology for this experience.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology helps automate a variety of business processes, improving their efficiencies. It generates a huge volume of data that needs to be filtered, processed and stored, and generally requires its own virtual local area network (VLAN). To gain all the promised benefits and return on investment of RFID, the network must be highly available.

Wireless Lan (Wlan) deployments can result in unexpected or unplanned power, cooling, management and security requirements. Most wiring closets do not have uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and they do not provide adequate ventilation or cooling required to prevent equipment overheating. Understanding the unique Network-Critical Physical Infrastructure (NCPI) requirements of Wlan equipment allows planning for a successful and cost effective deployment.
