Mesh Networks And City Wireless Will Transform The Internet
Will internet access be controlled and monopolized by a handful of global internet access providers? Can governments prevent access to certain sites? Perhaps there is an alternative in the making.
Hundreds of municipalities are recognizing that facilitating internet access is part of their responsibility towards citizens, and they are planning to bypass traditional internet access providers, opening access to the net in a more direct way. According to an article of DMeurope.com, over 400 cities world wide are currently planning to deploy broadband networks in their areas, and 2006 should see a doubling of the numbers. Rome, along with New York, San Francisco and Paris, is among the major cities planning to provide citizens and visitors with widespread internet access, choosing between fibre or wireless broadband networks using wi-fi hotspots, mesh networks or pre-WiMAX technology.
Mesh networks are a natural candidate for constructing a resilient, locally networked access to communication infrastructure. The Times in the UK has an article that explains how New Orleans could have profited from such a network to facilitate hurricane relief and how some of the most unlikely places are linking up with the internet by installing networks of little radio boxes that start communicating with each other, as soon as they find peers within reach, forming an autonomous network.
Mesh networks are rugged and self-configuring. They are normally established by municipalities, by upstart internet providers or by co-operatives of users. Those linked in can communicate directly with each other and also access the larger internet, normally through a leased-line access point that is shared by the network's users. Some networks allow users to contribute by sharing unused access bandwidth with others.
Not only will local networks allow more easy access to the main information pipeline, on which we depend more and more, but their spreading will proof the internet itself against catastrophic occurrences. An internet braced by a myriad of local peer-to-peer networks will be less influenced by either catastrophic disruptions or the more subtle commercial decisions and content restrictions operated by today's access providers, as well as government censorship and military intrusions.
One could even imagine a scenario where the information that now sits on servers is redundantly backed up - stored on a myriad of personal computers that are linked up with each other through P2P networks - eventually forming a second tier of the net, one that could survive the most harsh conditions life may confront us with. Actually, some people have been working on what I was envisioning here. Just found out (November 2006) that the Freenet has been under development for years. It is still in its infancy, and being developed on a shoestring, but work is progressing. If you're interested, you might want to pitch in helping with testing, development, or even a donation.
Anyway, here is the Times article on mesh networks...

An unusual way of connecting computers could deliver the benefits of the internet to people who have previously been cut off
An engineer installs a MeshBox in a remote Bolivian town
Fans of the internet are fond of describing it as an engine of freedom, opportunity and wealth creation. In many ways they are right: the internet can be a limitless classroom for those bypassed by formal education, and a marketplace and forum for people otherwise excluded from economic or political life.
The problem is that the people who could benefit most are the least likely to be connected. The digital divide between rich and poor prevents the benefits flowing to disadvantaged Britons, as well as the vast majority in the developing world, guaranteeing that familiar inequalities persist in the virtual world.
One technology that promises to help bridge the divide both at home and abroad is wireless mesh networking. In basic terms, the mesh provides an alternative to established methods of linking computers together and connecting them to the internet. In practice, it can be used to build large networks far more quickly and cheaply than has previously been possible.
As a result, wireless networks are viable in unexpected places. New Orleans, still without a phone service after Hurricane Katrina, recently began building a free, citywide network using mesh technology, while the whole of Macedonia is now one big wireless hotspot. Networks are also providing web connections to people in the parts of the UK untouched by phone-based broadband, as well as in developing countries that have never had effective telephone networks.
The British company LocustWorld is a pioneer within this growing market. Its co-founder, Richard Lander, explains how meshes differ from other networks. Instead of having a central server which determines how data passes between computers, he says, the mesh creates a network of equals, in which individual computers find the best way to communicate with each other.
"Lots of intelligent devices all fit together to form a resilient network, and the more devices there are on a network, the more routes there are through it," Mr Lander says. "You can continue to grow it organically, piece by piece, and it will organise itself.
Data finds its way through the network in much the same way that we find our way around a city. "You don’t have a map of every route in the country in your head," he says. "You store the routes around where you live or work, or the routes you use most often. If you need to find a street in London you buy a London A to Z, or ask directions on the way."
At the heart of the network is the MeshBox, a wireless access point and router contained in a box about the size of a video recorder. A single box will provide internet access to anyone within range, but a network of several of these nodes can cover large areas as the signal leaps from box to box, spreading from each as it goes.
The ad hoc nature of the mesh makes it easy to start small and expand where necessary, without the complex reprogramming involved with adding to a traditional, top-down network. As the mesh becomes more dense its stability increases due to the greater number of potential connections: if one node fails then the network will direct data through an alternative route. Two separate meshes can even merge into a single network if they grow to the point of overlapping.
They are also relatively cheap to set up. Unlike phone or cable-based internet systems, mesh networks require minimal physical infrastructure and can be installed quickly, cheaply and without extensive training.
In mountainous Bolivia, LocustWorld worked with the International Institute for Communication and local technicians to install a two-square-mile mesh in the town of Sopachuy. The remote town had only about a dozen phone lines for a population of 1,500, but in less than a day and for a few thousand pounds, the team built a network capable of providing internet and telephone services to most of the town.
The same qualities make mesh networks attractive to small internet service providers aiming to fill the UK’s broadband blackspots. Speednet Scotland uses a mesh network to provide wireless broadband access to the area surrounding Troon, Ayreshire, where many telephone exchanges were unable to support broadband until recently.
The company was set up in 2004 and now has 150 customers, each paying either £15.99 per month for a 750Kbps connection, or £24.99 per month for 1.5Mbps. This is slightly more than they would pay for telephone-based broadband, but mesh customers don’t have to pay for a BT line, a prerequisite for most other services. Speednet Scotland also lets users connect their home phone to the mesh instead of the standard phone network, and for a monthly fee of £5 offers unlimited calls to landlines in the UK and 33 other countries.
Although the BT exchanges in the area have now been upgraded to support broadband, Speednet Scotland has managed to keep all its customers. The company’s founder, Brian Mcilwraith, explains that his three MeshBoxes, each of which cost £250, can outperform the established telecoms infrastructure. "We can get a better service through the internet than BT can," he says. "The copper lines have been in the ground for a number of years and they’re not always up to standard, especially in our rural communities."
Mesh networks have long been an area where small companies can compete with the big boys, but with growing interest – and investment – from technology giants such as Cisco and Intel, the market may soon be a lot more crowded. At LocustWorld, Mr Lander is not put off by the competition. "It’s not a question of one company replacing another," he says. "Cisco’s advertising is paying dividends for LocustWorld, raising interest in people who never would have thought of using a mesh."
The growth of meshing will undoubtedly present new challenges. One obstacle is regulation, both in the developing world, where bureaucracy can prove insurmountable, and the developed world, where telecoms companies are strongly lobbying against citywide mesh networks that threaten their business. Wireless security will also be a concern for some, although proponents of the technology argue that an encrypted mesh provides more comprehensive protection than the unencrypted cable network that most people rely on.
As with other relatively new the issue of standards and compatibility may also take some time to settle down, and as more companies become involved there is a risk that a proliferation of competing, incompatible standards could lead to frustration. Mesh remains an emerging technology, but with increasing numbers of villages, towns and cities throughout the world opting to install meshes, it is certainly emerging fast.
Prague Seeks City-wide Free Internet Zone

The End of the Internet?
by JEFF CHESTER
[The Nation - February 1, 2006]
Verizon, Comcast, Bell South and other communications giants are developing strategies that would track and store information on our every move in cyberspace in a vast data-collection and marketing system, the scope of which could rival the National Security Agency. Content from these providers would have first priority on our computer and television screens, while information seen as undesirable, such as peer-to-peer communications, could be relegated to a slow lane or simply shut out.
Software-defined radio could unify wireless world
Ireland's communications regulator Comreg has issued the licence for publicly testing a "software-defined radio" device, which has been developed by researchers at the Centre for Telecommunications Value-Chain Research (CTVR) in Dublin.

Skype Invests In Free Hotspots
Monday, 6 February 2006
Internet phone company Skype are helping to provide free WiFi access around the world by investing in FON, a software application which turns your router into a secure hotspot. Skype invested a small but unspecified amount in the FON community, which is designed to let people share their internet connection with other FON users. Once someone registers the free software, and becomes a 'Fonero', FON provides maps of where the new hotspot is located. The idea being that once you share your connection you can then use others anywhere in the world.
MIT and City Collaborate To Provide Free Wireless
A collaboration with MIT researchers may provide Cambridge with a free, city-wide, wireless internet service as early as late summer. The project will rely on a mesh networking technology that allows individual computers to become new access points, projecting the reach of the network beyond its original antennas. The main goal of the project is to provide internet access to Cantabrigians who live in public housing, said Cambridge Chief Information Officer Mary P. Hart, though the resulting infrastructure will have a far wider benefit for city residents.
Open Source Telecom: Disruptive Technology?
Om Malik reports about Vayatta's new Open Source software powered network router. Vyatta's router is about to go into beta release, and it will likely hit the market this (2006) summer. The machine runs on two Intel chips, but far more noteworthy is its software, known as XORP, or extensible open router platform. The versatile open-source application can direct data traffic for a giant corporation as easily as it can manage a home Wi-Fi network.
Wireless World: Clandestine communications
New wireless technologies being developed by a secretive government agency in collaboration with private contractors may dramatically improve communications for homeland defense among federal, state and local officials, experts tell United Press International's Wireless World.
Wi-fi pioneers offer cheap router
BBC, 27 June 2006 - A Spanish firm is to sell subsidised routers as part of a plan to turn domestic wi-fi networks into public hotspots. Fon will sell wi-fi routers, which allow people to surf the net wirelessly, for $5 (£2.75). The company, which has financial backing from Google and Skype, aims to create public wi-fi networks street by street across the US and Europe.
A Most Disruptive Technology
The discription of advanced mesh networks to provide broad band to all users of an area, while commercially oriented, is nevertheless interesting as it touches on the many uses such broadband access would offer to us. What is not touched upon are the possible health implications of a generalized roll-out of blanket covering a whole area with gigahertz waves providing that access."The radios themselves are quite advanced having been redesigned into a silicon chip with total digital control. We refer to this as a Software Configureable Radio. For the engineering types, the access points are then capable of interfacing with all the MAC (Media Access Control) layers of the network.
The radios are placed three to a mini PCI board and plugged into the processor board. The radios are fully programmable which means that, as an example, the channels and center frequencies can be changed in milliseconds to avoid interfering signals or tuning all radios to the Public Safety frequency. While we currently use public spectrum wi-fi channels (802.11) and a public safety band, there is no reason in principle we could not switch one or more of the radios if another frequency (say Wi-Max, if they ever get it figured out) has enough demand.
In the current configuration, we will provide one channel for public safety staff (police, fire and emergency) to be able to communicate with each other. In a real emergency, one or more of the public channels could be instantaneously switched to the public safety frequency, providing more back up.
The access points come with a two to three hour back up battery supply in case the access point loses power. As an option, one can put a two or three day battery back-up into each AP, making sure they stay up during an emergency or when there is a total power outage. And the APs are smart enough to notify the system when they are having problems. If an AP goes down, the system automatically reconfigures itself.
The entire system can be run from a laptop. You can see every node, connection and radio. The network itself is a very smart system. Of course, there is tremendous security built into the system, as the chief designer started out from a public safety perspective where security was paramount. So, nobody is going to be able to browse your computer through the system. "

The internet has become a critical part of modern day living with 312 million Americans going online every day. With those many people using the internet today it is imperative that businesses welcome the internet into their internal and external operations to survive. Whether it is putting up a website to engage with customers or operating company email accounts to aid operations, firms will find the internet indispensable to them. For those companies who take the step to move their services to the cloud, reliable internet service is mission-critical. Choosing an internet service provider (ISP) that delivers the best value for money for your business is not easy. You need to know what service offerings to look for, what speeds are best and a myriad of other factors that go into making that decision. When looking for the best business internet plans use these guidelines to decide wisely:
Steps to Picking The Best Internet
- Determine Your Business’ Internet Requirements.
- Figure Out How to Choose the Best ISP.
- Determine the Best Internet Connection Type for Your Firm?
- Figure Out Needed Cybersecurity measures.
The Steps Explained
When it comes to procuring internet services for your business the first step is to have a clear idea of what your firm’s needs are. Accurately identifying your firm’s internet needs will not only lead you to the most suitable ISP for your company but it will also help you avoid overpaying for it.
The most critical factor in choosing an ISP is the coverage they offer and how it can best serve your business. A provider with national coverage will provide an extensive network to you if your firm has a national or international footprint. If you are a small business, then a local provider would better suit you due to their proximity and more personalized service. Analyze the scale of the provider you’re considering engaging and how it will impact your businesses’ operations.
The equipment an ISP gives its customers is also vital. Some providers will only give you a modem once you sign up while others will include additional equipment to help you set up. The more equipment a provider gives you, the more cost-effective their service will ultimately be.
An essential factor in choosing a provider is the level of service their support team can deliver. Your internet service will routinely experience downtimes and others technical issues which will impact your operations. A provider with a reputation for speedy and knowledgeable support services will minimize the amount of time your business operations will slow down due to service problems. Poor service support will cost your firm dearly in lost business with every technical breakdown.
Assess the speed packages each ISP provides to know which one is the best fit for you. Your internet service speed will affect how well your business operates. Pay attention to the download speeds (for receiving files, video and audio content) and upload speeds (for sending out files, video and audio content) measured in bits per second each provider touts to pick out the best one for you.
There are several kinds of internet connections, and the most suitable one will depend on how your firm plans to use the service.
- Digital Subscriber Line (DSL): This is a connection type that uses phone lines to connect a computer to the internet. It is dedicated meaning only you get to use it. A significant disadvantage is that if your provider is located far away from you, your speeds will be slow.
- Cable broadband: It is faster than DSL and operates over coaxial wires your cable television provider is using. It is not dedicated, and you will share the service with other subscribers around you.
- Satellite: As the name suggests, this connection type uses satellite dishes to link you to your provider. It covers areas that the other connection types can’t and is especially useful in rural areas. It’s slower than cable and fiber optic connections.
- Fiber optic: It is the fastest connection type operating via an optical network that uses light. It provides the highest bandwidth across many users.
Using business internet services will expose your operations to malicious actors online (also called hackers). Assess each ISP’s security measures to identify the best fit for your firm. Online (cloud) data backups and anti-virus software are just some of the add-ons that ISPs should offer you to address your security concerns. Deploy business internet services that are secure to protect your operations from internal and external threats.
The internet is a tool that can give your business a competitive edge. Selecting an ISP that will deliver excellent service and will assist you to troubleshoot issues to minimize disruption to your operations is an essential need. Marry potential ISPs to your company’s internet needs to get the best value for money.

To understand what Web3 is, we first have to understand the previous versions of the Internet.
What is Web 1.0?
The first phase of the Internet and can be characterized by the way users initially interacted with the web. Most users, during the first iteration of the web, were passive consumers of content. In other words, Web 1.0 was about reading and not writing. It was static instead of dynamic. This changed with Web 2.0.
What is Web 2.0?
The next major phase of the Internet was all about interactivity and users.
In this phase, users created most of the content on platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, or Twitter. This Internet was more social and collaborative, but that usually came at a price. The downside of this more participatory Internet was that by creating content, users were also providing personal information and data to the companies that controlled these platforms.
What is Web 3?
Web 3 is the next step of the Internet. It is currently still being built, so there is no single, established definition yet of what Web 3 is or will be.
In general, however, Web 3 refers to an Internet that is made possible by decentralized networks, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. The key innovation of these networks is the creation of platforms that no single entity controls, yet everyone can still trust. That’s because every user and operator of these networks must follow the same set of hard-coded rules, known as consensus protocols.
The secondary innovation is that these networks allow value or money to be transferred between accounts. These two things—decentralization and Internet money—are the keys to understanding Web 3.

Vodafone is accepting pre-orders for the HTC Magic, the first full touch-screen phone to run Google's Android operating system.
The latest “Google phone” is available for pre-order ahead of its release next month.
The HTC Magic will be available exclusively on the Vodafone network and runs Android, an operating system for mobile phones designed by Google and a host of partners to make it easier to surf the web and carry out complex computing tasks on mobile devices.
T-Mobile launched the first Android-based handset last September, but that phone, the G1, is thought to have sold in modest numbers. The Magic, which is made by Taiwanese manufacturer HTC, has already won critical acclaim ahead of its release. It features a large 3.2in touch-screen, a 3.2-megapixel camera, high-speed internet access, push email and satnav technology. Users can also downloads games and software from the Android Marketplace, the Google phone equivalent of Apple’s App Store for the iPhone and iPod touch.
Vodafone has announced that the Magic will be free to users who sign up for a two-year contract worth £35 per month, which includes unlimited web use, 700 minutes of calls, 250 texts, and unlimited calls to landlines and other Vodafone customers.
The HTC Magic will hit shops on May 5, a month before Apple is widely anticipated to unveil its third-generation iPhone at a conference in San Francisco.
The two phones will also go head-to-head with Palm’s new device, the Pre, which has received glowing early reviews from technology experts, and is widely expected to win some users away from the all-conquering iPhone.

MarketBeat has identified the five stocks that top analysts are quietly whispering to their clients to buy now before the broader market catches on… Investing in 5G does come with both pros and cons you should consider before you invest. These considerations range from new technologies to the impacts of underlying economic climates and consumer sentiment. Online gaming applications will be able to transmit even larger amounts of data instantly, leading to more immersive experiences.
Indeed, the two usual reasons for consolidation—spectrum and capex—could be magnified in the 5G era. Faced with limited resources to acquire new spectrum and build expensive networks, smaller wireless providers will be forced to seek M&A opportunities or get shut out of the 5G market. Ericsson, a Swedish telecoms giant,predictedthat superfast 5G internet would cover up to 65% of the world’s population by the end of 2025. In one of theirstudies, the total value of the global addressable 5G-enabled market for service providers across the 10 industries is projected to be USD 700 billion in 2030, beyond mobile broadband. While previous telecom network upgrades enabled the smartphone and mobility booms, 5G technology is entrenching digital technology even more into daily life.
There could be a risk of a data breach and potential mass surveillance by governments around the world. Mass surveillance – there could be a risk of a data breach and potential mass surveillance by governments around the world. We haven’t seen the technology work at scale and therefore haven’t seen the consequences of having the majority of the world using it. Let’s deep dive into a few of those industries to find out a few options worth considering.
“Building 5G applications requires investments for network upgrades and integrations. Without explicit business values, such investment is hard to justify,” Lu said. “In addition, the delivery of solutions lacks a standard approach, which makes use cases hard to replicate. 5G vendors need to co-innovate with customers on a wide range of use cases and streamline their existing offerings.” In addition, the majority of operators expect private wireless networks to account for up to 20% of their total enterprise revenue, spurred by improvements in 5G capabilities. Consumer connections are projected to have exceeded 1 billion by the end of 2022 and will hit 1.5 billion this year, before reaching 2 billion by end-2025. The study further finds that enterprises are becoming increasingly receptive to 5G solutions delivered through disruptive business models.

This is one of the reasons that the total shareholder returns of the top 39 telecom companies have lagged that of wider stock indices over the past three years. And since telecom companies compete strongly on having the best networks, they face competitive pressure to make 5G investments, even if they try to do so in the most cost-effective way. The next generation of cellular mobile communications technology has arrived. 5G, which is set to succeed the 4G standard over the next few years, offers an exponential improvement in functionality over 4G — it is 100 times faster and has 1,000 times more capacity. The results will be mobile networks that offer far higher capacity and reliability, much lower latency, reduced energy usage, and massive connectivity for devices. The 5G technology return on investment market report is categorized into automotive, industrial machinery, infrastructure , and healthcare & life sciences.
We offer scalable investment products, foster innovative solutions and provide actionable insights across sustainability issues. For example, companies like Broadcom and Qualcomm make semiconductors that go in phones and wireless equipment. American Tower Corp. owns many cellphone towers and leases space on those towers to cellular providers. This higher speed means customers will be able to download things like music and movies more quickly. It also makes 5G a legitimate competitor in the realm of home internet service as its potential speeds can compete with the speed of a wired internet connection. The easiest way to invest in 5G is through thematic ETFs that track the performance of companies that are at the core of the research and development of the new 5G cellular technology and next-generation technologies as they emerge.

What is Bridge Mode? How to Enable it in Router
By Nick Anderson 4 minutes
Connecting more than two routers allows you to extend an existing internet connection over a greater area. You may have one internet connection but multiple floors or rooms in the house that you need to cover. Whether you intend to connect the devices wirelessly or through a LAN cable, bridge mode on the router connects two or more routers without configuring each. As you continue reading about what is bridge mode and why it might be an advantage for you, we’ll explain how to enable bridge mode on the router.
What is Bridge Mode?
Bridge Mode lets two routers share the same network so that the secondary router(s) serves as an extension of the primary router.
One wireless router may not be sufficient to cover the entire home or office space. Multiple routers serve as a solution to that problem. Modern routers require minimal configurations to get them up and running. So what bridge mode allows is to make the new router an extension of the existing router, disabling NAT (Network Address Translation) on this new one so there is no conflict.
Without bridge mode, the second router will still receive internet connectivity, but it will manage devices connected to it strictly on its own. It means that if you have allowed ports in the second router, it will not extend to the primary router. The feature enabled will allow you to configure the ports in only one router.
A Brief Overview of NAT
Network Address Translation (NAT) is an important part of a router. The router assigns every connected device a unique IP address. But this “Private IP address” is different from the “Public IP address” that your ISP uses to connect to the internet. Due to the finite number of IP addresses that can be uniquely generated, local networks use private IP addresses that do not affect the availability of public IP addresses.
One public IP address represents multiple private IP addresses on the internet. To handle this many-to-one type of communication, NAT was invented. It keeps records of every request devices make to the internet in the NAT table and delivers them to the correct device on the router. Without NAT, the router would not know where to deliver the external traffic.
Advantages of Bridge Mode
The immediate advantage of bridge mode is that secondary routers do not operate their own NAT table. They serve as an extension of the primary router, which prevents a NAT conflict known as Double NAT. Bridge mode is useful for connecting routers in a Mesh network.
Preventing Double NAT is important if you want to access IoT devices such as security cameras remotely. If the IoT device is behind another NAT, the router will not know where to look because the device is behind another private network. The primary router will provide the DHCP (Domain Host Configuration Protocol) function for all connected devices, including those connected to the secondary router. It makes managing devices much easier. For example, if you want to control bandwidth or assign IP addresses to a device, it can all be managed through the primary router.
Bridge mode also extends support for Gigabit speeds if the secondary router does not support it.
You can buy Wi-Fi router solutions like Google Nest to cover every area in your home. Such routers are designed to work as a Mesh network and require little effort to get up and running.
How to Enable Bridge Mode in Router
Connect the first router with the internet connection in your home. This will be the primary router and other routers will act as secondary routers that can be used to increase the range of the Wi-Fi.
Interfaces differ between router manufacturers; thus navigation is also different. But we’ll give you a general direction of what you need to do to set up bridge mode in the router.
- Open your router’s admin panel. Check the router’s back for the default gateway and the credentials for the admin panel.
- Look for the option for bridge mode. Enable it.
- Connect the second router wirelessly to the primary router’s access point.
- Disable the DHCP server if it’s enabled.
The second router will now act as an extension of the first router.
Features such as bridge mode provide convenience and offer easier control over connected devices. In the age of IoT devices, it may be helpful when it comes to accessing devices through the internet remotely. But while such features provide convenience, they are not always recommended. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is one example that adds convenience but at the cost of security. You can read more in our blog post.

Fiber optic lighting cable is typically made of multiple optic fibers made of glass or plastic. They use light to transmit light at high speed. The number of fibers in each cable varies depending on its type, size, and specifications. They can range from two fibers to hundreds of them within a cable. They are ideal in transferring light for light and decoration purposes. In this post, we discuss fiber optic lighting technology.
What is fiber optic lighting?
Fiber optics, also known as fiber optic technology, is a foreign term to most people who are not big on lighting technology. They are long thin strands made of plastic or glass. They are put in bundles to form cables known as fiber optic cables. They are used to transmit light signals over various distances at a very high speed and are encoded with data, similar to that seen on computers. These cables are used in telecommunication applications, e.g., telephones, the internet, and in industries.
Fiber optic lighting using optic cables
Light is transmitted within the optic cable’s core by repeatedly bouncing off its walls to form internal reflections that are either complete or incomplete. Being incomplete means the reflections cannot be defined. The total reflections are vital during the entire process as they keep the light within the cable. How the optic cable is designed also plays a role in preventing light from dispersing outward. The structure consists of the core, which is the inner part, and the outer layer is the cladding, which absorbs all incomplete reflections and ensures light signals remain within the core.
Instances where fiber optic lighting is applied
Below are the primary areas where fiber optic lighting is applied;
- Dentistry and surgery to illuminate the area of interest and ensure fewer incisions are made.
- The automotive industry can light up the interior and exterior and transmit data between its different parts.
- Decorative lighting to light up spaces and make them attractive, i.e., clubs
- Security purposes
- Broadcasting/ television
Types of optic cables
Fiber optic technology employs the use of fiber optic cables. Below are some primary types of fiber optical cables;
1. Single Mode Fibre Optic Cables
They have a thin core, and beams of light travel in a straight line (single mode) without touching the edges, over long distances. They carry signals like the internet and telephone.
2. Multi-Mode Fibre Optic Cables
They are larger than single modes and are ideal for light transmission over short distances. Due to their large structure, light has more space to travel and on multiple paths; hence more information is transferred. The many modes of light can distort light signals; hence the single method is preferred.
3. Stepped Index Multimode Optical Fibre
This type of lighting cable has a uniform refractive index at the core area and decreases the cladding refraction index. Modal dispersion is possible with this type of fiber optic cables; hence data is only transmitted over short distances to prevent it. They need high-density power to operate and are ideal for use in the medical and industrial sectors.
4. Graded Index Multimode Optical Fibre
The core’s refractive index in this type of cable is not uniform. The high refractive index causes this on the axis, which decreases away from it radially to form a parabolic curve. The cladding refractive index is constant throughout the transmission process.
Fiber optic lighting cables and technology have proved to be a reliable way of transmitting light signals to remote locations and different applications. They are replacing the copper cables in the market and becoming popular, either for personal or industrial use.


In order to improve the user experience when performing chat conversations, we now display a notification when a message is sent (on the agent side for the moment).
From now on, the agent is notified of the proper transmission to our servers of each sent message. When the transmission to our servers is performed successfully, you will see the notification "Message delivered".
This notification will disappear after few seconds.
If nothing is displayed after sending a message, it means it has not been transmitted to our servers. At this moment our system will automatically perform 3 sending attempts.
If these 3 attempts fail too, you will see the error message "Oops. Message not delivered. Click here to try again". Then you can manually send your message by clicking the error notification.
N.B. The "Message delivered" notification is not a message delivery receipt (it does not mean that the visitor has read the message). This notification only informs that the message has reached our servers.
What should I do if the error message is displayed repeatedly?
If you repeatedly notice messages leading to an error, or if the manual sending process does not work, it usually means the connection between the discussion panel and our servers is not established anymore. In this situation, we recommend to reload the discussion panel page (F5 key) in order to reset the connection with iAdvize.
If this error is still occurring after several reload of the discussion panel, we invite you to verify that your network connection is working properly, as well as your network settings and browser.

The Rogowski Coil is a transducer used for measurement of the high frequency current pulses generated by partial discharge activity in the stator insulation structure.
The design and termination of the Rogowski Coil are such that it acts as a current transformer at high frequencies but has very low sensitivity to power frequency current.
The high frequency current pulses are significantly attenuated whilst travelling through the stator winding and associated cable system.
It is therefore desirable that the Rogowski Coil be located as near as possible to the source of the discharges, i.e. as near as possible to the H.V. terminal of the phase winding.
The low-level signals, which are output from the Rogowski Coil, are routed to a high-gain amplifier which has an appropriate frequency characteristic to accept the discharge pulse spectrum but to reject the power frequency and the harmonics associated with the machine operation.
The discharge signal pattern is captured on a digital recorder, together with the power frequency phase voltage waveform. Subsequent computer assisted analysis is carried out using software specially designed for this purpose. A permanent record is stored to assist future trending analysis.
The charge content of a discharge pulse is a measure of the energy content of the discharge and the measured pulses are calibrated in terms of charge content by a comparison technique.
A train of low-voltage pulses of known charge content is injected into an H.V. terminal of the machine selected for calibration, whilst the machine is shut down, and the response of the Rogowski Coil is recorded.

Conversational AI has been a buzzword in the tech industry for the past few years, with the rise of chatbots and voice assistants. Conversational AI involves developing machines that can communicate with humans in natural language, facilitating seamless interactions between humans and machines.
Chatbots have become increasingly popular in recent years, especially in customer service and support industries. They are computer programs that use natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to simulate human conversations. Chatbots can handle simple tasks such as answering frequently asked questions or taking orders, freeing up human staff to focus on more complex tasks.
Voice assistants, on the other hand, are designed to respond to voice commands and perform tasks such as setting alarms, making phone calls, or playing music. These devices use speech recognition technology and machine learning algorithms to understand natural language and respond appropriately.
The increasing popularity of conversational AI is due to several factors. Firstly, it provides a more convenient and efficient way for humans to interact with machines. Conversational AI systems can be accessed through various platforms, including messaging apps, websites, and social media platforms. This means users can access them anytime and from anywhere, making it easier to get things done.
Secondly, conversational AI is becoming more sophisticated. Machine learning algorithms enable chatbots and voice assistants to improve their responses over time, based on user feedback and data analysis. This means that conversational AI systems can provide personalized interactions and learn from previous interactions, leading to a better user experience.
Finally, conversational AI has enormous potential to transform many industries, from healthcare and finance to education and entertainment. For example, chatbots can help doctors diagnose and treat patients remotely, while voice assistants can assist teachers in providing personalized learning experiences for students.


Mobile phones were first introduced to the public on 3 April 1973 in New York. At that time, HP made Motorola is still a prototype and tested by Martin Copper in the New York area. The idea of the type proposed by Cooper is a communication tool that is small and easy to carry travel flexibly. This mobile phone is known as the first generation (1-G). At that time, Cooper is considered strange by people who saw him talking on the phone all the way. Someone even stopped moving just looking at it.
Telephone calls using the mobile phone was first telephoned Dr Joel S Engel, a competitor who works as head of research at Bell Labs Phone Company and Cooper told Engel that already the first phone that does not require wires, and Cooper was the one who made it. Then Cooper invited journalists to a press conference and demonstration in front of journalists to prove that the technology of communication at the time actually developing and wireless communication is not a hoax.
Motorola began marketing its first HP in 1983 called the Motorola Dyna-Tac and weighs 0.4 pounds. Since Motorola released the first HP, occurred a remarkable development in mobile phone industry, namely the emergence of mobile phones with smaller sizes with a variety of additional advanced features, such as music player, camera, video call and Wifi.

The branches were all of different sizes and a number of control panels were utilised from the Notifier Fire Alarm Systems range, including the ID50, ID60 and ID3000 control panels. The projects for the HSBC banks had Notifier Fire Alarm Systems equipment specified based on their worldwide reputation for high quality, high performance fire detection systems.
Notifier Fire Alarm Systems Utilsing Wireless TechnologyDue to the ornate nature of several of the banking halls in some the bank branches, the wireless detection range from Notifier and HyFire was often used. This allowed a detector to be positioned on the ceiling areas of the main banking halls without the need to install cables to them. It was often not practical to install cables to these areas due to covings and decorative features. The wireless detectors are battery powered and designed to communicate with a loop powered wireless translator unit which communicate with the detector using wireless communications.
We also used several Multi-sensors offerings from Notifier Fire Alarm Systems in areas of the bank with security risks. The multi-sensor range of detectors are designed to minimise chances of false alarms occuring.

You’ve read article after article about Facebook’s 500 million users. How you’d have to be an idiot not to have an online presence there. To not take advantage of this giant population. Well, here’s something those articles may not have told you. That Facebook isn’t the biggest social media network out there. That Facebook, now with 515 million users, is still 45 million users behind the largest social media network in the world’s 560 million.
What site is Facebook still trailing? Skype. The software application that allows users to make free voice calls over the Internet to other Skype users. And will likely be the software that makes phone satellites obsolete, as all communications will be able to transmit through data networks. So, it makes sense that Skype is so popular. But it’s surprising to see the specific numbers, isn’t it?
Another number that may surprise you? The network in third place. China’s tencent.com, a provider of free online IM services with 485 million registered users. Just goes to show you,that you don’t have a clue what’s really going on in this new digital world. But, it’s fun to try and keep up, isn’t it?

- How far away do you live from television broadcast towers in your area, at least for the channels you want to be able to get? Be sure to look for ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS and The CW at the very least. Search results will give you tower distance in miles from your home address.
- Are the television broadcast towers in your area located in the same general direction, or are some of them located in different directions? Search results will give you tower direction in degrees, clockwise from Due North. Are your desired channels within at least 90 degrees of each other, or are some outside of that range?
Single Tower Location (90 Degrees)
Single Tower LocationIf towers are in a single location, both directional and omni-directional antennas will provide reception. For the best signal reception from a distance of more than 50 miles, a directional antenna is recommended.
Multiple Tower Location (180 Degrees)
Multiple Tower LocationIf towers are grouped in two locations in the same general direction, such as living in a "border" area in which you want to get stations from two different cities, a multi-directionalbay-type antenna is needed.
Scattered Tower Location (360 Degrees)
Scattered Tower LocationIf towers are scattered in several locations, you will need an omni-directional antenna. The best use case for omni-directional antennas is within a signal range of 50 miles or less. If more than 50 miles, the best option would be a directional antenna with the use of a remote- controlled antenna rotator.
- The majority of television broadcast stations in the U.S., about 75%, utilize UHF frequencies (RF channels 14-51). 23% broadcast over high-VHF (RF channels 7-13), while a very small number of stations, about 2%, broadcast over low-VHF (RF channels 2-6). If you are in one of the rare areas that includes a channel broadcasting over low-VHF, you will need a special outdoor antenna that receives low-VHF in addition to UHF and high-VHF. Search results will give you the frequency of each channel in your area.
