  • Flexport® Wave
    WHITE PAPER ® FlexPort µWave A Better Approach to High-Capacity Microwave Backhaul Page 1 of 11 WHITE PAPER The explosive need for capacity The need for backhaul capacity in mobile networks is exploding. The increasing presence of smart phones and the expectation of users that these phones provide the same experience as a desktop computer is the major driving force behind the proliferation of mobile data traffic. These devices are performing more and more functions and have features that require huge amounts of bandwidth. December 2009 marks the first time that data traffic exceeded voice generated calls. In a keynote speech at the Monaco Media Forum 2010, Ericsson President and CEO Hans Vestberg estimated that by 2020 there will be 50 billion connected devices! According to the Cisco Visual Networking Index Global Mobile Data Forecast, 2009-2014, by 2014 mobile traffic will have increased 39 times over 2009 levels while almost 66% of the mobile traffic will be video. The evolution from 2G/3G mobile networks to 4G creates challenges for operators that go well beyond the adoption of new handset air-interface technologies. 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) and WiMAX capacity translate into aggregate base station capacities that grow from the tens of megabits per second common today to the hundreds. This in turn places demands on backhaul networks that drive a transition from copper and low-capacity microwave links to fiber and new gigabit wireless backhaul solutions. This growth in capacity is primarily driven by data services; therefore, operators also look to transition from circuits to packet-based architectures in order to more efficiently adapt to the new data-centric world.

  • Earth-Sky Link Quality Performance for Fixed and Mobile Scenarios in Tropical Regions
    Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 39, 61{75, 2013 EARTH-SKY LINK QUALITY PERFORMANCE FOR FIXED AND MOBILE SCENARIOS IN TROPICAL REGIONS Ali M. Al-Saegh1, *, A. Sali1, J. S. Mandeep2, Alyani Ismail1, and Abdulmajeed H. J. Aljumaily1 1Department of Computer and Communication Systems Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Serdang, Selangor 43400, Malaysia 2Department of Electrical, Electronic and Systems Engineering, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Bangi, Selangor 43600, Malaysia Abstract|Recent advances in satellite communication technologies in the tropical regions have led to signi¯cant increase in the demand for services and applications that require high channel quality for ¯xed and mobile satellite terminals. Due to lack of reliable investigations regarding accurate performance evaluation, experiments, and analysis on the satellite communication link in tropical regions under atmospheric impairments for both scenarios, accurate signal quality performance analysis is necessary. This paper presents the link characteristics observations and performance analysis with propagation measurements done in tropical region to provide an accurate database regarding rain attenuation in the tropics for ¯xed and mobile scenarios. The paper also presents a newly developed extension attached to the measurements setup for improved packet error rate (PER) performance evaluation related to the degradations occur in channel quality for di®erent types of impairments (rain, mobility, and physical obstacles) for 4 modulation schemes, namely QPSK, 8-PSK, 16-QAM and 32-QAM. The results show that the rain impairments at Ku band cause up to 12.5 dB and 23 dB at 77.5± and 40.1± elevation angles respectively in two tropical regions inside Malaysia for ¯xed scenario with a signi¯cant increase in PER at higher M-ary modulation schemes.

  • Overview of ITU's History
    Overview of ITU’s History For a century and a half since 1865, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has been at the centre of advances in communications -- from telegraphy through to the modern world of satellites, mobile phones and the Internet. The story of ITU is one of international cooperation, among governments, private companies and other stakeholders. The continuing mission is to achieve the best practical solutions for integrating new technologies as they develop, and to spread their benefits to all. From telegraph to telephone For thousands of years, the quickest method of sending complex messages over long distances was with a courier on horseback. At the end of the 18th century, Claude Chappe inaugurated a network of visual semaphore stations across France. Then came the electrical revolution. Experiments were conducted in sending electric signals along wires, and in 1839, the world’s first commercial telegraph service opened in London with a system created by Charles Wheatstone. In the United States, Samuel Morse used the new Morse code to send his first telegraph message in 1844. Already in 1843, a precursor of the fax machine for transmitting images had been patented in the United Kingdom by Alexander Bain. Telegraph wires soon linked major towns in many countries. A submarine telegraph wire (coated in protective gutta percha) was laid between Britain and France in 1850, and a regular service inaugurated the following year. In 1858, the first transatlantic telegraph cable was laid. But there was a problem. Where lines crossed national borders, messages had to be stopped and translated into the particular system of the next jurisdiction.
