  • SOP 202 Iridium Satellite Phone Provisioning
    Standard Operating Procedure Updated: Apr 27, 2017 DOCUMENT NUMBER: SOP202 TITLE: Iridium Satellite Phone Provisioning PURPOSE: This document describes the provisioning and testing of Iridium Satellite phones. It is intended for all Greenland and Alaska field site personnel. BACKGROUND: A satellite telephone, satellite phone, or satphone is a type of mobile phone that connects to orbiting satellites instead of terrestrial cell sites. They provide similar functionality to terrestrial mobile telephones; voice, short messaging service and low-bandwidth internet access are supported through most systems. Depending on the architecture of a particular system, coverage may include the entire Earth or only specific regions. DETAILS: Components Required for Testing • Activated sim chips with phone number labels from IT&C staff • Preconditioned and charged batteries • External iridium egg antenna deployed outside in order to receive satellite signal inside the building • Updated Iridium phone number cheat sheet and Quick use guide Iridium Satellite Phone Testing Procedures • Insert activated SIM chip into satphone • Insert a preconditioned and charged battery into the satphone.. • Place battery cover on the satphone • Connect the satphone being tested to the external iridium egg antenna using a stubby antenna connector • Turn on the satphone and allow the registration process to complete Page 1 of 3 Standard Operating Procedure Updated: Apr 27, 2017 • Make a phone call using the satphone to a known number (ie your cellphone number, land line or a known working Iridium phone) • Make a phone call using your cellphone number, land line or a known working Iridium phone to the satphone being tested. • Adjust the iridium phone audio speaker to highest volume • Set the iridium phone to Ringer only and adjust the ringer to the highest volume • Turn call Forwarding off • Per each phone, adhere the phone number label to the front of the Iridium phone • If above test passed, continue onto next section.

  • Mobile Networks and Internet of Things Infrastructures to Characterize Smart Human Mobility
    smart cities Article Mobile Networks and Internet of Things Infrastructures to Characterize Smart Human Mobility Luís Rosa 1,* , Fábio Silva 1,2 and Cesar Analide 1 1 ALGORITMI Centre, Department of Informatics, University of Minho, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal; [email protected] (F.S.); [email protected] (C.A.) 2 CIICESI, School of Management and Technology, Politécnico do Porto, 4610-156 Felgueiras, Portugal * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The evolution of Mobile Networks and Internet of Things (IoT) architectures allows one to rethink the way smart cities infrastructures are designed and managed, and solve a number of problems in terms of human mobility. The territories that adopt the sensoring era can take advantage of this disruptive technology to improve the quality of mobility of their citizens and the rationalization of their resources. However, with this rapid development of smart terminals and infrastructures, as well as the proliferation of diversified applications, even current networks may not be able to completely meet quickly rising human mobility demands. Thus, they are facing many challenges and to cope with these challenges, different standards and projects have been proposed so far. Accordingly, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been utilized as a new paradigm for the design and optimization of mobile networks with a high level of intelligence. The objective of this work is to identify and discuss the challenges of mobile networks, alongside IoT and AI, to characterize smart human mobility and to discuss some workable solutions to these challenges. Finally, based on this discussion, we propose paths for future smart human mobility researches.

  • FCC RELEASES FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND MOBILE BROADBAND MAP Standardized 4G LTE Coverage Data Marks Progress on the FCC’S Broadband Mapping and Data Collection Efforts
    Media Contact: Anne Veigle [email protected] For Immediate Release FCC RELEASES FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND MOBILE BROADBAND MAP Standardized 4G LTE Coverage Data Marks Progress on the FCC’s Broadband Mapping and Data Collection Efforts WASHINGTON, August 6, 2021— Today, the FCC published a brand-new map showing mobile coverage and availability data in the U.S. from the country’s largest wireless providers. This is the first public map showing updated mobile coverage released by the FCC and represents a significant improvement over other data previously published by the agency. It also serves as a public test of the standardized criteria developed to facilitate improved mapping under the Broadband DATA Act. “A good map is one that changes over time. Today’s new map represents progress in our efforts to implement the Broadband DATA Act and build next-generation broadband maps that can help to connect 100 percent of Americans,” said Rosenworcel. “Using improved systems and data, we can provide better information about where broadband service is and is not across the country. While much work remains, I congratulate the Broadband Data Task Force for moving full speed ahead on this essential mission.” To view the FCC’s new 4G LTE mobile broadband map, visit: https://fcc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=6c1b2e73d9d749cdb7bc88a0d1b dd25b This map provides a preview of how the mobile data the FCC will collect under the standards set by the Broadband DATA Act will look when mapped. Never before have maps been created using these new, standardized mobile data specifications, which will improve the uniformity and consistency of broadband availability data collected by the FCC.
