With the support of CRC for Spatial Information, a more comprehensive review has been completed recently to examine various wired and wireless communication links available for precise positioning services, in particular in the Queensland regional areas. The study covers a wide range of communication technologies that are currently available, including fixed, mobile wireless, and Geo-stationary and or low earth orbiting satellites.

  • List of Itu Carrier Codes (According to Recommendation Itu-T M.1400 (03/2013))
    Annex to ITU Operational Bulletin No. 1060 – 15.IX.2014 INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION UNION TSB TELECOMMUNICATION STANDARDIZATION BUREAU OF ITU _____________________________________________________________________ LIST OF ITU CARRIER CODES (ACCORDING TO RECOMMENDATION ITU-T M.1400 (03/2013)) (POSITION ON 15 SEPTEMBER 2014) ______________________________________________________________________ Geneva, 2014 List of ITU Carrier Codes Note from TSB 1. As the number of telecom operators in each country is growing rapidly, the number of interconnections between their networks is growing even faster. The standardization of designations of all the network interconnections is therefore of great concern for the operators involved. Only then are they able to do the provisioning and maintenance in a systematic and efficient way. 2. The proper use of Recommendation ITU-T M.1400 requires the identification of the operators sharing the interconnection. To that end an overall list of operators working in a country, with an officially recognized and standardized code for each of them, is of great help. It enables them to identify each other in a comprehensive and unique way. This will eventually result in one integrated database for all connections, in turn improving network operations and administration to the benefit of both providers and clients. 3. Due to liberalization of telecommunications and increased competition in the telecommunications industry, there is a mandatory requirement that telecommunications operators that interoperate be identified.

  • Peeling Back the Veil: a Review of Stuart Cunningham. 2013: 'Hidden
    Australian Journal of Telecommunications and the Digital Economy A Next Generation Wholesaler's View of the NBN How Retail Service Providers can succeed in an NBN world Sarah Branson Brand Manager, the MNF Group Rene Sugo CEO, the MNF Group Abstract: The MNF Group has been operating in the Australian telecommunications market since 2004. The author of this paper is an employee of the MNF Group and the opinions expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of the MNF Group. Upgrading the infrastructure of an entire country is a huge undertaking and was deemed necessary with Government intervention in Australia. Had this task been left to private companies, the likelihood is that Australia would continue to experience a huge gap in the cost and availability of high quality, fast speed broadband services between metro and rural regions. The NBN rollout is several years into the project; a recently released report from the ACCC has given insights into the wholesale market and initial market indicators show that the market is becoming less competitive. This paper examines the costs of interconnecting with the NBN and demonstrates why the NBN has not achieved its goal of providing a level playing field for all telecommunication companies. By looking at the true cost of providing NBN services to NBN users, it is shown that the NBN pricing model is flawed and will affect the quality of service being provided to Australians. To succeed in the telecommunications industry, it is suggested that smaller RSPs will need to work hard to differentiate their brand and provide added value to consumers through additional service offerings.

  • The Knowledge Economy in a Car Dependent Perth, Western Australia: the Story of Knowledge Intensification and Urban Sprawl
    Paper for Special session‐ Cities, regions and the digital economy: new challenges and opportunities RSA Delft 2012 The knowledge economy in a car dependent Perth, Western Australia: The story of knowledge intensification and urban sprawl Michael Kane Curtin University Western Australia Paper for Special session‐ Cities, regions and the digital economy: new challenges and opportunities RSA Delft 2012 - 1 - The knowledge economy in a car dependent Perth, Western Australia: The story of knowledge intensification and urban sprawl Michael Kane Curtin University [email protected] Part 1- Introduction Worldwide the knowledge economy and information communication technology are underpinning economic activity in post industrial economies. ICT and the knowledge economy are characterised by urban proximity and agglomeration, with strong links between ICT, spatial distribution of knowledge workers, urban density and productivity. The knowledge economy requires an increase in the knowledge intensity of capital, labour, products and services. Cities in post industrial economies, it is argued, are characterised and driven by this intensification of knowledge. This paper argues that there are three interrelated factors of knowledge intensification in the modern economy: intensification or agglomeration of knowledge economic activity; intensification of knowledge within human capital knowledge ie within individual workers and where those workers work and reside; intensification of knowledge and data within ICT systems and infrastructure.
