The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission has decided to place online live streaming under control following complaints of unfair competition from several digital TV operators.
The commission met on Monday to discuss the complaints filed by several digital TV operators against competition from online live streaming through Facebook, YouTube or other service providers or OTT (over-the-top) business, said Colonel Nathee Sakulrat, vice chairman of the NBTC, on Tuesday.
The commission agreed that the OTT business or online live streaming should come under the jurisdiction of the broadcasting regulator, he said, adding that the committee decided to form a panel to work out ways and means to regulate image and audio broadcasts through other channels.
The commission is concerned operators of online live streaming or OTT do not own any telecommunication network, but make use of the others' facility to do their business without having to share their revenues with network owners.
However, Colonel Nathee noted that the NBTC had no intention whatsoever to control the content of OTT or online live streaming service, but to make sure that the public have access to information and the service must be fair to the consumers as well.

It’s impossible to overstate the importance of reliable communication. Our ability to connect with other human beings, near and far, allows us to accomplish things we’d never be able to tackle alone. It also provides a safety net.
If you’re reading this, you probably enjoy spending time away from all the noise of daily life. That’s something we have in common, but occasionally, that peace and quiet can take you completely off-grid, or leave you stranded on the side of a country road. Things can get squirrely without warning so it's important to be one step ahead. Whether running into town for groceries, or rolling through the mountains of Colorado, the following tools let me travel with confidence. I hope this guide helps you.
Above all else, smartphones are our most powerful COMMs device. Sending a text, making a phone call, sending out an email, accessing social media, even tapping into a police scanner can prepare and inform you in certain situations. As cliche as it sounds, the world is seemingly at your fingertips with a smartphone.
Now, what happens when you truly go off-grid? Well, I’d suggest utilizing a signal booster. More specifically, I use a WeBoost, a tool that helps to ensure that my cell signal is as strong as it can be.
In addition to a booster, I’d also recommend having multiple phone carriers depending on your travel partner(s). For instance, you could have a phone with Verizon, and maybe your travel buddy will be on a plan with T-Mobile. This increases the likelihood that one of you will have service even if the other does not. Then if you add a hotspot plan, you can effectively give the other person service if they need it.
Satellite phones/satellite option
Living in our modern age certainly comes with its advantages, one of which is cheap tech. Once reserved for wealthy expeditioners, satellite communication is now relatively affordable and reliable. I’ve used several of Garmin’s InReach communicators over the years, and strongly recommend them as an emergency backup, or a handy way to touch base with loved ones. Your line of communication will remain open “anywhere you can see the sky.”
There are some fees required to unlock all features, but the peace of mind is well worth it. Even with no towers in sight, you’ll be able to send texts or emails, share locations, and even easily reach out for emergency help with a single button.
Radio communication is as time-tested a method as you’ll find, and offers the most versatility. Consider purchasing a radio with a hand crank just for listening when the power goes out. Your local radio stations will be among the first to notify the public of emergencies. Listening features are also often included in handheld 2-way radios, which are great for small groups of adventurers and vehicle-to-vehicle communications.
CB radios are a great way to plug into the public conversations of truck drivers, and local travelers. Learn about traffic congestion, accidents, weather, and speed traps from people just a few miles ahead of you.
Handheld CBs are especially handy for keeping small groups of people organized on the go. They’re also fun to use and make off-roading more enjoyable. I like this one.
GMRS radios are stronger and offer greater compatibility than CB radios. Where CB radios are limited to 4 watts of power and a local audience, GMRS can use up to 50 watts. That means significantly more people will hear your broadcast, especially when employing repeaters. Nearly all readily available walkie-talkies operate on GMRS/FRS, so getting everyone on the same page is painless.
If your interests are more advanced, there is yet another radio option. Arguably one of the most powerful COMM devices in the world of radios is ham radio. Although tricky to access and utilize due to testing and licensing, ham radios have the widest range of available frequencies to operate on, have the capability for longer range (and use of repeaters as well), allow for the most power (watts) for increased range, and are the only way you can tune into local emergency services, You can even send emails or text messages with the proper ham equipment.
Miscellaneous/Non-electronic COMM Options
When all else fails, keep it simple. There are a number of tools that can help keep you connected when disasters or emergencies rear their heads. When you need help, don’t be shy. Exhaust your options until contact is made. Long before radio and satellite technology became commonplace, adventurers relied on whistles, mirrors, and signal fires to get noticed. Whenever I'm hiking or in my vehicle, I’ll have an emergency whistle, signal mirror, way to start a fire, and some fabric or tarp that’s big and bright in color. If I can, I’ll use my cell phone, but one way or another I’m getting home.


updates, information, events and more
Our project advances further: The technical and electronics rack on the back of the rear cab wall has been finalized and set up with several power supplies, computers and a whole lot of electronic components, in order to make the 1950s analog technology of the locomotive comaptible with the 2020s digital technology of our computer environment. And the low voltage power network of the loco works again: The loco kind of starts to "live again"!
Following milestones could be accomplished since the last update:
Autumn 2023: Nearly all interfaces for the locomotive's components could be set up, from the wipers up to the passenger door remote control, from the compressor switch to the vacuum pump control handles. Thanks to the great support of Urs Brosi from RhB, who supplied us with original drawings of the electrical network and the setup of the electrical connection boards, we could identify all needed functions and signals on the old original connection board, and prepare connection cables to our own modern connection board.
November 2023:The new technics and electronics rack, which houses all precision power supplies, computers and connection boards for the cable harnesses to the front of the cab, could be set up with the great help of Gazmed Ibrahimi, a professional electrician for Regatron AG, and has been mounted to the rear of the cab's aft wall. One after the other, the different electrical components will be mounted there.
December 2023: In order to provide a professional wiring for all the connections between the original vintage connector board of the locomotive and the brand new electronics rack at the rear of the cab, a new high tech connector board has been installed in the loco's nose compartment, and several cables been laid between the old original and the new connector board. From there, signals and power will be transferred to the electronics rack at the back via cable harnesses. These components have been sponsored by Phoenix Contact, which we highly value and appreciate,
January 2024: Some of the original components of the cab's interior have been transported back from the laboratory to the cab and been re-installed. Many components can now be operated or show correct values like in the active days of the locomotive. The loco can be "booted" like in reality: if the basic power is turned on, the low power network comes to life and shows correct values on the indicators. When the pantograph and the main switch are thrown, the main voltmeter jumps up to 11kV. And the 36V network provides power to cab lighting as well as headlights. It looks a bit like she's alive again, when we turn on the headlights – what an incredible feeling!
We are looking forward to being able to test run the simulator in late spring 2024 and celebrate the official inauguration of the simulator still in 2024, together with all our fantastic collaborators and sponsors.
More news to follow...
Ever since the cab had been delivered to Fliegermuseum Altenrhein on 14. June 2022, work is in progress on this non-profit project as fast as our main jobs in aviation and engineering allow.
Head of engineering Christian Rohrer is busy to make all the mechanical, electrical and pneumatic controls, dials and switches of 1950s technology compatible with the digital environment of a PC and Trainsim running on it.Simon Heinz has put all his vast knowledge in Facility Management into the cab to clean the locomotive thoroughly but gently, in order to preserve the patina, the smells and the signs of 57 years of hard work on the network of the Rhaetian Railways.
The following milestones could be achieved:
September 2022: The electromechanical safety features and protections of the original power controller could be bypassed. The power lever now works again as in the original locomotive.
Oktober 2022: The electrical signal of the sequence switches of the power lever could be read out and connected via a complex A/D gate to the digital environment of the PC. As of now it's possible to drive the Trainsim loco with the original power lever.
November 2022: A large part of the registers in the Trainsim software (where all the values like speed, acceleration, position of switches and so on are saved) could be identified and read out. Now it's possible to simulate the vacuum brake lever with an electronic sequence switch and to operate the vacuum train brake in trainsim with this hardware.
November 2022: A 1000W Dolby Surround sound system has been installed in the cab. This way, all the authentic sounds of systems which are not installed "live" on the cab anymore will be heard in a powerful and realistic way while operating the sim, like the high voltage sequence switch or the ventilators of the drive motors..
Dezember 2022: Our head of engineering and a friend of his were able to bring the original Hasler tachometer of the Ge 6/6 II to life without using the wheel hub pickup who originally transmitted the wheel RPM to the tachometer. For this task, they used the highly precise power source of the engineering company they both work for. Now the tachometer displays the Trainsim speed register perfectly well, even sounding his distinct, characteristic electromechanical sounds,
Still to do;
Today we could transfer loco 703 to Vögele Recycling in Chur, and could cut off the two cabs with the help of the highly motivated and professional team of Stocker Netzbau AG and Vögele Recycling. After a whopping 6hrs of hard work with cutting torch and flex cutter, Stocker's team loaded the two cabs onto their trailer, drove our cab II to Fliegermuseum Altenrhein, and then took cab I to its final destination, the simulator hall of our partner association DESM at Boltigen BE.
In this newsreel of Swiss National TV SRF "Schweiz Aktuell" (german only), today's work s nicely shown .
This monday, we could transfer our loco 703 from Landquart to Chur according schedule. Our train driver and engineering team member Riccardo Keller made the impossible possible, and together with the loco schedule department scheduled the slightly older locomotive Ge 4/4 I 605 "Silvretta" to pull our loco 703 to Chur. So "St. Moritz" was accompanied by a "sister of age" on her last run. Immediately after our arrival at the Chur depot, our team started to dismantle a few things and to prepare the loco for tomorrow's cutoff of the cabs.


As I walk around Vancouver’s airport you can see why. A phone is no longer just a phone. People walk around holding their gadgets in front of them. Some, like Blackberry users, do email. Every Blackberry user I know wants a bigger screen.
I would eliminate the ‘just a’ and it would be “a phone is no longer phone”. What we call phones are no longer phones. To me, the iPhone is a minicomputer that you can make calls on. People use less and less of the calling function as phones are being manufactured without calling pads, The ones that do have good keyboards are the best for texting not calling. Ask those CrackBerry users what the most important feature in their ‘phone’ is. In buying a new ‘phone’, main consideration is what it can do with it when I am connected to the Internet. The Telecom industry have begun to realise (quite late) that the Internet is changing the game and people do not really need phones to be in touch. With the likes of Skype and Google Voice breathing down their necks, it seems they are trying to fight an idea whose time has come by trying to prevent VoIP calls on their networks. It they continue this way, they will go the same route of the Music Industry who have waited until late to change their business model. In places like Finland where Broadband is now human right, there is almost no need for the network carriers when you can make Skype calls through your phone using Wi-Fi. Places like the UK and US are pushing for 100% Broadband penetration when that happens we will call it a day for the phone!
Bye Bye Telephone!
PS: How many kids below the age of 10 know the Grrrrrrrriiiiiiiiim Grrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiim sound of the ringing telephone?

Minister of information and communication of Crimea Dmitry Polonsky announced Crimea’s forced refusal of the European communication equipment in favor of the Chinese one due to the sanctions.
“We made a forced decision to replace our systems by equipment of Crimea and the Russian Federation friendly manufacturers. Generally these are the Chinese ones, in particular, Huawei,” said Polonsky at a meeting of the regional government.
According to him, the Ukrainian legacy of Crimean mobile operators was the equipment produced by the European companies Alcatel and Ericsson. So this equipment is not maintained now due to the sanctions. “We have no access to software, new equipment, upgrades and licenses. We are not simply denied but we are not even replied to,” said Polonsky.
According to him, the mobile covering problem on the peninsula is largely linked to the incompatibility of equipment from different manufacturers. Full replacement by the equipment made in China will allow solving the problem. So, more 25 sets of Huawei equipment are expected to arrive on June12-13.

Franklin County received a $20,000 Telecommunication Planning grant from the state Department of Housing and Community Development. In November, the county hired consulting firm Design Nine to serve as the county’s broadband consultant and tasked the company with creating a broadband master plan.
Franklin County Director of Planning Steve Sandy said Design Nine is creating a strategy for where to get broadband next, where to invest funds and where to seek grant money.
“Franklin County is unique,” Sandy said. “Topographically, the western part of the county is very different than the lake. There really isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution.
Andrew Cohill, president of Design Nine, said at the March 13 Franklin Connects event that having equal upload and download speeds is important, especially if for those who work from home. Federal guidelines state that 25 megabytes per second, or Mbps, download speed and 3 Mbps upload speed is the norm. Those who have 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload are underserved.
According to the Federal Communications Commission, general internet browsing and email use requires a minimum download speed of 1 Mbps. Streaming standard definition video uses 3 Mbps to 4 Mbps while streaming high definition, or HD, video requires a minimum speed of 5 Mbps to 8 Mbps. More and more streaming apps like Netflix and Hulu are pushing the HD connection as TV technology evolves and now there is Ultra HD 4K video which required a minimum of 25 Mbps to stream.
It’s because technology has come along so fast that Del. Charles Poindexter, R-Glade Hill, said the state is encouraging public-private partnerships to get broadband to communities more economically. Internet does not fall under public utilities and by the time the government would get the infrastructure together to make it one, all the work that went into it would be obsolete, he said.
Sandy said approximately 600 households in the Snow Creek area may receive internet service via a fixed wireless solution. Fixed wireless provides broadband internet to a single location through radio waves instead of phone or cable lines. It operates much like a satellite service because it requires a dish or antenna via a wireless internet service provider.
Meanwhile, the county also is working to obtain funding for fiber optic internet through the state Tobacco Commission. Summit View Business Park and some subdivisions would be prioritized to receive the service.
Many areas of Franklin County still are underserved when it comes to the internet. Fixed wireless solutions not only require satellites, which don’t work in every area, but also utilize community poles, which are half the height of traditional towers. Cohill said fiber optic is good for 50 years. Fiber optic is known for longevity as well as handling faster internet speeds. It seems there should be a way to get fiber optic to more places than just in the business park.
With a third of the county without internet, something has to be done and quickly.

Flightradar24 shows live airplane traffic from different parts around the world. The technique to receive flight information from aircraft is called ADS-B. That means the Flightradar24 can only show information about aircraft equipped with an ADS-B transponder. Today about 60% (about 30% in USA and about 70% in Europe) of the passenger aircraft and only a small amount of military and private aircraft have an ADS-B transponder.
A WebSDR is a Software-Defined Radio receiver connected to the internet, allowing many listeners to listen and tune it simultaneously. SDR technology makes it possible that all listeners tune independently, and thus listen to different signals; this is in contrast to the many classical receivers that are already available via the internet.


When it comes to the factors that affect the sound quality of portable Bluetooth speakers, many people may first think of the loss caused by Bluetooth audio transmission. In fact, as early as the era of Bluetooth 2.0 / 2.1, the transmission rate of Bluetooth reached 2.1 Mbps, which is enough to meet the transmission of high-quality audio. However, in Bluetooth audio transmission, both the early Bluetooth 2.0 / 2.1 and the now popular Bluetooth 4.0 use the same A2DP protocol (it is nonsense that some manufacturers equate Bluetooth 4.0 with "good voice" or even "lossless" in their publicity).
Because the A2DP protocol greatly limits the transmission bandwidth, the audio signal needs to be effectively compressed to ensure the real-time playback of the receiving end, so there are many different encoding and decoding schemes in Bluetooth audio devices.
There are three party speakers codec schemes: SBC, AAC, and apt-x. Among them, SBC is an old but still the most common Bluetooth audio codec scheme, while AAC and apt-X are relatively new. Some improvements have been made in the SBC scheme. Theoretically, the sound quality is better than the SBC scheme. AAC scheme is mainly used in iPhone and other apple devices, while the apt-X scheme is more common in vivo, Samsung, and other brand mobile phones.
It should be noted that although apt-X claims to be a "CD level" audio codec scheme, in practical use, apt-X is no less than the ancient SBC, but it is still a certain distance from "CD level" transmission. In addition, apt-X needs to be supported by both transmitting devices and playback devices. If you want to use apt-X, in addition to a mobile phone that supports apt-X, you should also check whether the speaker itself supports it before buying a Bluetooth speaker.
If we want to rank these three coding and decoding schemes, under normal performance, apt-X is better than AAC and better than SBC, which is still a significant gap compared with the traditional wired audio transmission. However, if this gap is placed in a small Bluetooth speaker, the impact on sound quality is far less than that in theory.
In addition to SBC, AAC, apt-X, and other "conventional protocols", Sony also launched a Bluetooth transmission standard called LDAC, which can provide a maximum bandwidth of 990kbps, which is higher than apt-x. theoretically, it can further improve the audio quality of Bluetooth audio transmission, but LDAC only supports some of Sony's own devices at present. If you want to experience LDAC, you need a zx2, zx100, and other players, or an Xperia Z5 and other smartphones, and then buy an MDR-100adn Bluetooth headset or x99 wireless speaker and other devices. The scope of application is narrow.
Compared with Bluetooth audio transmission, the bigger limitation of Bluetooth speakers in sound quality performance is the size of the speakers.
In audio equipment, the volume has a lot to do with sound. The sound quality of a large volume is not necessarily good, and the sound quality of a small volume is almost impossible. Bluetooth speakers belong to the latter.
In portable Bluetooth speakers, due to volume limitations, the most common solution is to place a full frequency unit of about 1 inch on the left and right and use a passive diaphragm to increase the volume sense of low frequency. The number and quality of sound-generating units are quite different from the traditional 2.0 speakers. At the same time, due to the volume limitation, the spacing between the two full frequency units in the Bluetooth speaker is often very small, which will also affect the sound separation.
Due to this "compact" design, the sound quality of Bluetooth speakers will be relatively limited. In order to get a better sense of hearing, there are often trade-offs in sound style. The most common way to deal with this is to increase the low frequency and "grasp" the user's ear for the first time with the bass of "move times play times".

Treasurer Report: Dan (KR4UB)
Club balance was reported.
Dan created a new attendance sheet. He also went through old club records to capture the date members joined. There are many current members who helped establish the club in the early 1990s, when the club was called the Orange County Wireless Pioneers. Steve Jackson (KZ1X) was the spark plug for establishing the club. The first meeting was in the community room of OWASA. Anyone with club records, please let Dan know. Dan will scan and add the content to the site, which will help preserve club records.
Dan has a repeater still occupying space in his basement. The current repeater market in Durham and Alamance is rather saturated. However, as Chatham County is growing, so is the need for communication towers. Nick (KA1HPM) mentioned that the county is planning to install several new towers for 2020. There may be opportunities to relocate the repeater to a tower in Chatham County for amateur radio and CERT usage.
Field Day results:
While radio propagation was sketchy, we were able to accumulate 2000 more points this year over last. Every station, minus 80 meters, was able to increase their score, with digital exceeding last year by over 1000 points. This year’s numbers will change slightly as Dave (W4SAR) thoroughly combs the combined log to eliminate duplicate contacts, fix broken exchanges, and eliminate broken exchanges that cannot be made good:
For more detailed information on Field Day, we encourage you to read the July 2018 DFMA newsletter. https://www.dfma.org/TheLink/2018/Link1807web.pdf
Show and Tell
Steve (KZ1X) was cleaning out an old radio box and brought in a Micron SWR field strength meter, which may have been purchased as the old Radio Shack in University Mall. The Micron measures the amount of signal transmitted by your antenna system, and a signal pattern can be plotted by taking readings around your antenna. The meter covers 3 to 30 MHz and can handle up to 1KW.
He also brought alligator clips with magnifier glass used for splicing wire and adding connectors.
Dave (KW4XL) brought in several 3D printed products, including a raspberry pi hotspot case and working crescent wrench.
The next membership meeting is scheduled for Monday, September 10. Hope to see you there!


In my previous posts I have shown how we can use the Microsoft Bot Framework to create smart, intelligent bots that users can interact with using natural language, which is interpreted using the LUIS service (part of Microsoft Cognitive Services). The bots that we can create using these tools are really powerful but, in most cases users are still typing text when communicating with the bot. This is perfectly ok in most situations, but it would certainly be fitting for some requirements to actually be able to allow he user to just talk to the bot using speech and have the bot respond in the same way. There are examples of where this can be done on the existing bot channels already, such as users using the Slack mobile app with a voice recognizer function so you don;t have to type your text, but what if we wanted to bake this into our own app? In this post I am going to provide some basic code that allows a user to converse with a bot using speech in a Windows 10 UWP app.


Static and Dynamic IP address
When you connect to the Internet, your machine/network is assigned an IP address. This IP address is used by other computers to send and receive messages from your machine.
If your IP address never changes, it is known as a Static IP address. On the other hand, if your IP address changes after some time it is known as a Dynamic IP address.
Static IP addresses often belong to companies that host their own servers while dynamic IP addresses are typically allocated to home users who seldom host any servers.

Best Wireless Router 2024 Reviews – 10 TOP Buyer Under 200
Why do we need to improve router performance?
When you have bought a cheap wireless router amazon and set up its password and security, there a still a number of ways to give the router performance improvements. It means that no matter after doing the installation, you are still able to change the network password as well as renew the security firmware. If those basic steps have not conducted yet, you always can do that anytime.
Even if you have done those basic steps, you possibly want to find the admin username and password so that you are able to log in into its web interface. This process allows you to manage the settings and give access to certain types of features. Starting from select the most optimal location to adjust the setting for faster Wi-Fi, those can use to add extra performance beyond the home network which often taken by the best outdoor wifi router.
Select a great location for the router
No matter what the best wireless router 2024 you buy, you commonly install it in the place where it is easiest to do like what done by the majority of people. Many people think that a spot near the wall outlet found by the modem where it offers speedy online and access to the Facebook page is a good spot. However, looking for a better location for the router is important if you want all parts of the home to be covered well.
The works of the router are affected by how it broadcasts and receives the radio waves. Hence, what you have to do is looking for a place with a strong signal. If you place the router in the corner o back part of the home, you can obtain good coverage in the yard and some parts on the end of the house. Placing it in the central location becomes a good position because it broadcasts outward.
The radio signal from router also moves downward so that you have better to place it above the floor. A higher position like placing it on the shelf, or install it on the wall will convince that all the wireless coverage gets into the devices rather than travel into the ground. Not only is a home wireless router buying guide, router location also an important consideration. The ideal place to get a better performance of a router is actually a spot with an uninterrupted line-of-sight. It is because this kind of place provides better latency and quicker ping times without too much disruption of furniture or walls. You probably cannot place all devices into such kind of spots in your home. However, it becomes an essential consideration if you want to install it for a particular use such as for gaming or home theater settings.
The last thing regarding pick the good place is you have to convince everything that can interfere with the WiFi signals should be out of the location. Avoid placing the router near metal objects whether it is a shelving, air ducts, plumbing, or beams since it hampers the work of wireless signals. Even something without metal materials like dense walls can be a problem for the signals.
Make different network for the guests
Looking for consumer reports best wifi routers is not the only one to get a secure router. There are still other ways to do it such as creating a separate network for the guests. It is possible to create a different network in one router and it is not just an easy way to share Wi-Fi with friends but also makes your own network remain secure. By doing this, you don’t have to share the network password to other people. This makes your home network safer from which may cause an unexpected problem which can disrupt its work.
Creating a guest network is quite easy. All you have to do is accessing web interface on your own router. Then, log in using your username and password. Most of the router usually comes with wireless settings menu where there is an option to activate the guest network. Make sure the guest network gets a name which is easy to accept by the home network and don’t forget to set the new password for it. Using a unique password is a great idea since it will be shared with people you have known before as well as acquaintances. You certainly do not want those people to use the password you regularly use, don’t you?
Choose the proper band for the device
Most of the routers such as best router wireless at Walmart are considered as dual-band because it comes with wireless-N and AC standards. They provide two types of bands which the first type is 2.4 GHz band. This type is often found in handphone, Bluetooth devices and most the wireless devices at home. The second type is those which come with a 5-GHz band that is less crowded than the previous type.
Those two bands have a significant difference in speed. 2.4 GHz band can reach up to 600 Mbps while 5 GHz offer higher speed that accommodates up to 1300 Mbps. However, in the real-life application, there is traffic as 2.4 GHz for any wireless devices such as headphones, microphones and even microwaves which often produce noisy sound. Connecting all those devices to the router will be really crowded. Not to mention, if you live in an apartment packed with other’s wireless devices so that the traffic is even worse. So, it is much recommended for you to read carefully about the best wireless router reviews to know about how many devices that still can be covered by the router.
Exchanging the band into 5GHZ will provide better performance into less crowded access and it becomes such a good solution. The weakness of this alternative is that 5 GHz has a little bit shot signal compared with 2.4 GHz band so it may not work well in large homes. Satisfyingly, dual-band routers which are available on the market today can run separate networks independently. Devices that require better coverage due to distance can be replaced using 2.4 GHz. The same way happens to rarely-used devices such as smartphone and printers to connect with 2.4 GHz band so that 5 GHz can offer better performance for gaming, streaming, or providing higher bandwidth.
To install the best wireless router for Xfinity whether it is 2.4 GHz o 5 GHz network, you have to log in into the management console and get into the wireless setting menu. If you already get there, choose the router to keep working in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band running with different network and make a new name for each network.
Consider on channel change
When you have set the router into 5 GHz network, you should also consider changing the channel that each network runs. If you open wifi settings, you will find that each network comes with channel options that can be operated. Some Wi-Fi settings in the router may already set with an automatic option to the channel or exchange the channels when another one in use is disrupted. Look again on best routers consumer reports and see how people experience when using the channel, what are the advantages and disadvantages when using the channel. But you are still able to choose a certain channel to use. By choosing on the preferred channel, you can avoid heavy traffic from other people or closer networks.
Several types of free utilities like extender are available and they allow you to scan channels that used by different networks detectable in the home. For instance, in best wireless router extender reviews, you usually can find diagnostic information including channel quality and its speed. Free tool from macOS, namely Wireless Diagnostics provided for Apple users. Meanwhile, for Windows, there are some options that you can choose NetSpot and Xirrus. These tools will give you information regarding the channels which still in heavy traffic which one is less crowded and offers better performance.
Since there are various routers in the market, do not easily interest with appearance when you plan to buy a new one. Instead, some of them that come in unpleasant look even provide good quality of the connection. What you have to know is a router in 5 GHz band is more powerful than its usual counterparts. However, there is a particular case when this technology cannot travel through some walls so that 2.4 GHz band takes its job when the 5 GHz band fails to arrive into the targeted spot. This is actually less suitable if you want to work with good performance in the large home. Of course, this kind f condition will not happen if you carefully buy the best wireless router.

International Conference on IoT based Control Networks and Intelligent Systems ICICNIS 2020
Department : CSE
In recent years, Internet of Things [IoT] plays a vital role in interconnecting all the wireless devices by connecting them smartly over the internet. Due to their heterogeneous nature, IoT has developed greater research potential for the wireless network community. With its open, scalable and interoperable architectures, IoT has benefited the emerging intelligent systems like Natural language Processing [NLP], Cognitive systems, expert systems and so on to initiate an artificial humanized computing architectures. IoT with its number of intelligent sensor nodes, it becomes capable enough to sense and respond even to the complex and irregular issues that emerge in the intelligent systems. Meanwhile, IoT also emerges as a key and intelligent communication alternative for control networks. The integration of IoT in control networks has derived various intelligent solutions, which upgrades the intelligent decision-making systems in an effective and efficient manner. Despite the hype, this research domain needs some research attention on some unexplored areas of IoT like smart sensing, high-performance computing, network modeling, security, and privacy.

Unlike glass fibres, whose core is made of quartz glass, the core of a POF consists of polymer such as polymethyl methacrylate or polycarbonate. The material typically used for the jacket is fluorinated polymer. A significant difference between the POF and glass fibre is the far larger core diameter of the POF. A relatively large difference in the refraction index leads to a large acceptance angle, which nevertheless provides an acceptable bending radius.
First of all, it should be noted that the class cannot be compared with the category. The class refers to the cabling route, whereas the category applies to components. The Duplex Fibre 2.2 DATALIGHT belongs to class D. Class D means up to 100 MHz, suited for data rates of up to 1 Gbps.
The Duplex Fibre 2.2 DATALIGHT is composed of the polymer fibre, the reflection layer and the jacketing. The PMMA polymer fibre (Plexiglas) is 1 mm thick and, together with the jacket, features an outside diameter of 2.2 mm.
The POF cable is manufactured without UV stabiliser and therefore not suitable for outdoor use without additional protection.
Based on experience, the cutter can be used up to 20 times without deteriorating data transmission. We recommend that you do not use it anymore after deformation of the blade becomes visible, since this can lead to higher attenuation.
Yes. The Duplex Fibre DATALIGHT is insensitive to electromagnetic fields. Due to this, power lines can also be installed in the electrical conduit parallel to the data line.
We recommend that you use 65 mm deep connection sockets.
All devices bearing the DATALIGHT logo are compatible with each other. This is also true for devices with different speed rates (100 Mbps or 1 Gbps). However, the maximum data rate decreases during operation of, e.g. a 100 Mbps access point with a 1 Gbps switch to the maximum data rate of the slowest device.
Prior to connecting the fibre to the access point and the switch : Use a pocket torch to light into the end of the fibre – if light can be seen on the other end of the fibre, the fibre functions flawlessly. As soon as the fibre has been connected to the access point and the switch, green LEDs on the components indicate that they function correctly. Additionally, there are level measuring devices to calibrate the route.
No! When connecting to electronic components and when attaching two fibre ends to each other, the fibre must be used with a jacket. It protects the fibre from damage and prevents light emission. A clean cut prior to connection ensures very low attenuation.
No. DATALIGHT transmits Ethernet-based, digital applications only, just as is the case with wireless or powerline. Analogue telephony additionally requires defined voltage levels which cannot be implemented through the fibre. Yet, VoIP applications are no problem, since these are based on the IP, i.e. on the Ethernet protocol. If the analogue telephone shall remain available, there are special adapters on the market.
The POF technology is standardised analogously to glass fibre. DATALIGHT corresponds to the OP1 category according to DIN EN 50173 (step index – POF) at rates from 50 to 100 m. In the meantime, various plug solutions for POF have been standardised as well. These are, however, used in home networks to a lesser extent, since “plug-free” contacting is the advantage that matters most here. In addition, transmission protocols used have meanwhile been standardised according to IEEE802.3bv.
Both the switch 6 + 2-port 100 DATALIGHT and the wireless access point 100 DATALIGHT can be configured by means of a web browser. The switch can also be operated without configuration. For security reasons, the wireless access point shall receive new standard passwords, and multiple wireless access points – a new IP address.
Normally, the switch is connected directly to the router or modem via the Ethernet port (RJ45). All devices then have network access to the internet from there.
The media converter included in the access point converts optical signals into electric signals. All network-compatible terminal devices can be connected via the RJ45 connections (Ethernet ports).


DD-WRT hotspot setup procedure
DD-WRT uses an old version of chillispot, the hotspot software. If you want to use paypal payment, you can't use DD-WRT, as chillispot had a bug making the use of paypal unreliable.
You should consider using the new WorldSpot firmware.
First, you need an internet connection. There is no restriction about the kind of internet connection, but you must have an ethernet plug to connect..
If you don't have a compatible router, be careful when choosing a compatible model. The most known model is the linksys WRT54GL (the L (Linux) is very important). It is not the best but it is cheap and widespread.
Flashing DD-WRT into your router is an easy task. However, please note that incorrect flashing procedure can brick your router and might void its warranty.
WorldSpot.net cannot be held responsible to whatever occurs to your router.
First you have to make sure that your router is supported and has at least 4mb of flash.
IMPORTANT: Supported routers with 2Mb flashes can't actually run chillispot, and can't be used for a hotspot.
Make sure you read the precautions for flashing.
Download DD-WRT V23SP2 here (DD-WRT V24 may work as well, but there are some reported problems)
Then you must follow the procedure that correspond to your router in the DD-WRT installation page.
If you have questions about flashing you can ask for help in the forum.
Once your router is flashed:
All your computers connected on the LAN ports will be protected from your hotspot users.
Note: Theses instructions should also work with DD-WRT v24beta. This new release brings a new very cool feature.
The multiple SSID allows to have several virtual wifi networks. One unencrypted for your hotspot users, one encrypted for your private use, (maybe one more encrypted also for your hotspot users... this will be tested in the future). Note that v24 is still beta and not yet released!


Devices, Networks and Software Done Right.
What Devices/Services are best for your employees?
Phones and Tablets. Phones and tablets continue to increase in computing power enabling many businesses to equip employees with customer service equipment to manage jobs, complete contracts and collect payments.
Laptops. Despite the reliance on smartphones, laptops are still a preferred device as they can be used like a traditional desktop PC in the office and also transported much like a mobile device. Laptops allow employees to take work home with them or work while traveling.
Cloud storage and sharing services. A recent survey found that out of nearly 10,000 information workers, the average employee uses 2.5 devices for work purposes. Whether these are personal electronics or company provided devices. Of the survey participants, 52% used three or more devices.
Since the average employee is managing documents and other data in roughly three different places, it becomes challenging to manage information on separate devices. The use of multiple gadgets such as smartphones, laptops and tablets make cloud-based means of sharing data a necessity.
Servers Servers help manage networks, run line of business software, provide access to data and offer multiple levels of security and control for your business. On-site and virtual servers are two of the options available to companies today.
Routers and Switches. Routers and switches connect your devices to the network and internet. Routers perform the traffic directing and network security functions. We'll help you select and set up your network hardware.
Network Infrastructure is the physical equipment(hardware) as well as the software applications that support a business' technology. Types of Network Infrastructure foundational hardware, software, services and facilities.

In a primarily digital world, voice search technology is taking everyone by storm. Voice search is the act of using a “digital assistant” to search for a piece of information on the internet. It is a trend that we largely began to see in 2015 and has been steadily rising ever since. In fact, half of all searches today are being performed on mobile devices, and searching by voice queries has increased by more than 30%.
Many brands have launched artificial intelligence (AI) digital assistants, some of the most popular being Amazon’s Alexa, Microsoft’s Cortana, Apple’s Siri and Google’s Google Assistant. Originally, digital assistants were found in smartphones, but now these companies are also offering voice-activated devices (or speakers) that are used for voice search in the home. The devices are spreading the reach of digital assistants past smartphones and into the everyday lives of consumers.
How is voice search being used?
As technology is gradually improving, so is voice search technology. Now, instead of just recognizing a voice command, digital assistants are able to understand voice commands and respond accordingly.
In many cases, people find it easier to speak than to type out a search. Because of this, voice search is being used for many different reasons, including location-based searches, directions, entertainment, reminders and scheduling.
Virtual assistants are changing the way people are living, and making everyday tasks easier. It’s common for people to put voice-activated speakers in the center of their homes so everyone can have fast, easy access to the answers they need. In the infographic below, you can discover where voice search technologies are most commonly used within the home:
The benefits of voice search:
- Speed – Users have found that searching via voice search is much quicker than typing out a question.
- Ease of Use – With voice search, you don’t have to worry about typing the wrong word or stumbling over your thumbs. Just ask whatever you’re thinking and you will receive a helpful answer.
- Accuracy – Voice search accuracy is constantly improving. The more accurate it becomes, the less you’ll see incorrect results and the more effective voice search will be for users.
- Less Typing – For some users, they are just tired of typing and are ready for the next innovation. Hello, voice search.
- Fun – Voice search remains a fun and exciting technology for users. Even though the newness has worn off, it’s still entertaining to ask the voice technologies silly questions, to tell you a joke or even to order you a pizza! The fun is endless.
It is crucial for small businesses to be aware of the voice search trend. People are always looking for ways to make their lives easier and faster and voice search is a perfect representation of that. This day in age, voice search is becoming one of the most popular new technologies in the world of searching. Are you ready to adopt voice search?


Nowadays, almost all cell phones have an inbuilt WiFi adapter. And also, Android OS is much popular these days. Thus most of us have an Android phone with latest WiFi technology, may be 802.11 b/g/n. As almost all PC’s today are equipped with a WiFi adapter and almost every computer OS provides the feature of creating a Wireless Connection, one may think of creating one and share the internet connection for use in Android. But it is of no use, as Android is unable to detect “ad-hoc” wireless networks and it needs an “infrastructure network”. Its well enough if you have a wireless router as its somewhat not possible to create an “infrastructure network” using PC’s WiFi.
But, here comes the twist. The line you read just 2 seconds ago is wrong. Yeah, one can create a Wireless Network using PC’s WiFi for use in Android (Under some conditions!). This guide features a complete tutorial on creating a Wireless Connection in Windows (detectable by Android) and sharing your Internet Connection over WiFi.

A group of Bradley students is working on a project that may allow cell phone users to cut the final cord.
Tyler Hoge, Elie Baliss and Sergio Sanchez are working on a wireless electronic charger system. Unlike other wireless charging systems requiring direct contact, people would just need to be with in range of an antenna to charge.
An antenna plugged into an outlet sends a signal that is picked up by another antenna in a phone or other device. The energy put out by the antenna plugged into the outlet is changed into a current that can charge batteries in a variety of electronic devices.
Hoge says the result is greater mobility. “The devices get true freedom. You no longer have to worry about powering them because every time you walk home, they’re being charged. So you can basically forget the necessity of charging the device, and just use your device as an extension of yourself instead of charging it and worrying about it.”
Hoge says they continue to refine the system and make it more efficient. He says he hopes to have a prototype ready in two years.


Heard about next generation data center services? Well, let us take a round-up over the entire transition of data centers.
Right since the inception of computers, businesses of all sizes have assembled data centers to house and safeguard their computer equipment. But in the past, it typically referred to as vast arrays of mainframes and disk storage devices, but has since evolved to comprise of groups of servers that can help manage applications, data, and communication. These facilities require physical and electronic security, uninterrupted power supply, environmental controls for temperature and humidity, and well-trained professionals to operate and maintain them on a regular basis.
Moreover, disaster recovery plans are needed to maintain and restore essential services as quickly as possible in order to get away with serious business impacts. Even the backup facilities have often been an integral consideration in such data centers, where extended outages could disrupt essential technology services or even cause serious business impact and financial loss. The total investment in such data center facilities in the past has been a significant cost factor on the business bottom line. But what is the baseline? It is the internet that changed everything.
Today both local services and global enterprises exist that provide strategic, data center and cloud hosting services for every kind of business can supplement, or even replace, the traditional data center. The global reach of internet and advancements in communication technology transcends the need for in-house data centers and their associated overhead costs of physical facilities, power and environmental requirements, and software upgrades.
Cloud-based data centers can provide access to computing capacity that business can leverage to their advantage. They even offer cost-effective solutions to databases, so that businesses do not have to build their own expensive server environments. Moreover, using the services of specialists in data center design and construction, management, and monitoring can help you free up business resources to lay stress on such business activities like manufacturing, marketing, sales, and customer service.
Agility and scalability are some of the important elements when considering next generation data center services. Such facilities provide clients with the capability to add a computer power and storage capacity pretty easily and quickly as businesses evolve. Backup processing and disaster recovery become a concern between the client and the data center providers in India and are addresses through a combined level agreement (SLA) between the parties.
Apart from it, mobility is another crucial advantage of using data center and cloud hosting services. Whether a business needs access to applications by a remote workforce, field service representatives, or telecommunicating employees, Internet-enabled data services allow secure access anywhere, anytime, and on any device.
As businesses move to cloud data centers, physical location of the facility becomes less important, High-capacity bandwidth and high-performance processing eliminates the shortcomings of geographic presence collocated with the business. Partnering with experienced and qualified management service providers ensures 24*7 technical support and quick solution to problems without the need to source in-house technical staffs for operating systems, monitoring, and security.
However, cost is the bottom line when considering data center and cloud hosting services. Business advantages comprise of much more than the initial cost of building a physical data center facility. On-going costs like power, physical security, communication, environmental controls, upgrades for hardware and software, and technical personnel are significant elements of the equation.
As businesses welcome the concept and technological advantages of cloud computing environments, managed service providers will also expand on their offerings and capabilities. Cloud computing will continue to evolve as the computing needs of the business expand, while the operational costs remain a significant focal point.
The basic processing needs of businesses will continue to change rapidly with the evolving need for factors like mobility, agility, as well as flexibility. Cloud data centers provide the infrastructure that enterprises need to provide significant services on a non-stop basis for both the employees and customers alike.
Today, data centers in India are hosting IT infrastructures for many e-commerce businesses. Hence, they are now evolving to make use of hyper scaling, and manage the increased online traffic and reduce the network outages.
Big organizations are shifting their focus towards hybrid internal clouds, so as to assimilate the ever-increasing network traffic into their functioning. Such cloud infrastructures help cut down any input/output latency dependencies for storage.
The increased amount of internet usage ah enabled micro data centers to rush into mainstream infrastructure management practices. This has helped businesses expand their cloud-based content delivery capabilities to users that are closer to the network’s edge.
One of the most important trends that is molding the future of data centers in India, is going green! Today, data centers are working towards using lesser energy, and thus reducing their energy footprint. Therefore, data centers are now working towards achieving better efficiency, newer cooling techniques and enhanced power usage effectiveness.
The dynamics of business world are constantly changing, and hence, data centers have to up the list and evolve, in order to provide more robust IT infrastructures and smoother business functionalities. Nowadays, data center and cloud hosting services are not only innovative and efficient, but are also designed, so as to counter all the possible consequences.


Protecting Your Network from Attack
Protecting your network from damage that can be caused by a network attack
requires an integrated design which encompasses the following areas:
- Internet connection security
- Remote user security
- Anti-virus system
- Power protection system
- Data backup regime
If all these areas are protected then even if an attack manages to break
through one of the components the network and the vital data stored on
it will not be completely lost.
Internet Connection Security
In an ideal security world business systems would not be connected
to the Internet, but that is simply not possible in today's business environment.
Therefore, a security strategy is required to protect both the actual
connection and the computers within the internal network from attack -
or hacking. Hacking computers is an offence under UK legislation; however,
most hackers do not operate from within the UK and thus are almost impossible
to prosecute. Anyway, retribution is not the name of the game, prevention
is the key.
As a baseline, your network should use Network Address Translation (NAT)
to mask the identity of your internal computers as your users browse the
Internet. NAT gives all your computers the same identity as they access
Internet servers and NAT also drops any data that is not part of an ongoing,
internally initiated, connection. If you have no requirement to let external
users access your network from the Internet NAT provides a reasonably
safe solution. There is however one major issue that should be addressed,
what device are you using to provide the NAT function? In the main we
recommend that you use a hardware device rather than software running
on a standard computer - if the software can be hacked then the NAT function
Remote User Security
If you need to let remote users, such as staff or customers, access your
network through the Internet then you really need to move up to a Firewall
solution. Firewalls inspect every data packet flowing through them and
can drop or accept the packet based on a set of configurable rules. Setting
up these rules correctly is vital to the secure operation of the Firewall.
When remote users need to access your servers they fall into two groups;
users who would be allowed to use the network if they were in the office;
and guests who only need to access certain information. For the former
you should consider a Virtual Private Network (VPN) solution, which effectively
allows them to 'appear' as local users. For the latter a secure, internally
hosted website or 'Extranet' will probably suffice.
A robust Anti-virus system should protect all the possible avenues of
attack in the network and provide automatic updates to the detection routines
to capture new viruses as they appear. The routes of entry for viruses
||CD & DVD
||Server data transfers
||Internet web pages
|Corporate Outlook email
||Internet Outlook Express email
||Web based email (Hotmail etc)
All these routes of entry and the storage devices on the network need
to be constantly scanned and protected.
Power Protection System
Most businesses fail to consider the need for power protection and un-interruptable
power supplies (UPS) as the mains supply in most buildings is quite robust.
However, have you considered what would happen if the kettle boiled dry
and blew the main fusebox or a disgruntled employee tripped the mains
on the way out of the office. The loss of power in those situations could
loose more data than any Internet hacker attack.
Data Backup Regime
The data backup regime for your business is the insurance policy when
one of the previous protection systems fails - or even if your network
administrator accidentally deletes all the users files on the server!
You should take regular backups of all your business critical data and
then store the backup media in a suitable fire safe, so that even if the
building burns down you can quickly recover your business. It is important
to note that filing cabinet fire safes are not suitable to store backup
media - they melt the tapes!
This quick overview of the methods to protect your network from attack
has provided basic information on the key areas of concern. For more information please complete an information request form and one of our
team will contact you to discuss your requirements

Lately, everybody appears to be saying Telecommunications Circuits are awesome and that they have so many benefits. It seems that we’re becoming more concious of these pluses these days, but they were always there. It’s a re-discovery, if you will. And most of the pluses of Telecommunications Circuits are endorsed so nope, its not just hype either. It comes as no surprise that Telecommunications Circuits are astonishing and to assist in making them even more incredible we've written this groundbreaking article, entitled 'Recommendations About Telecommunications Circuits From Industry Aficionados'. I hope you enjoy it.
You will notice that fibre optic lines are often described in two sections, the line speed and the bearer speed. Purchasing a leased line is not a snap decision and youll need to get satisfactory answers to a variety of questions. Whilst we believe that leased lines have a number of advantages for small businesses, they are not suitable for all. A multiport device server can convert between known protocols such as TCP/IP and LAT. With broadband, the selection is more restricted.
However, with leased lines you get a level of support that you would never find elsewhere. A leased line uses exactly the same technology as fibre optic broadband. Also, if businesses feel the need to upgrade their speed and bandwidth, they just required to upgrade their plan. Why do we use 10Gb leased line costs so much?
However, you still need to protect data using methods like encryption for maximum protection. It carries a wide variety of user information streams for circuit switching, packet switching, and leased line. Not many broadband providers would go the extra mile to give you better internet access. This then travels to the exchange and then onto your premises, which is shared with everyone else from the cabinet!With business broadband you will find the bandwidth varies hour-to-hour and day-to-day. What is the response rate for results based on what is a leased line ?
The world has now literally become a much small place. I f that doesnt mean anything to you, dont worry. If it is simply a business internet connection that you are after, then there are lots of quicker and more cost-effective options available to you on the market that would sufficiently satisfy your needs. If youre planning on relocating your business, its vital to plan ahead. Go beyond broadband by getting leased line providers for your business.
The technical term for this act of sharing the same fibre optic lines between many is multiplexing and is one of the factors that lets consumer broadband providers keep costs low. If your business has outgrown standard business data connections, a leased line could be the most effective way to get the level of communications you need to succeed long-term. Whats more, you will always get the speed you are told you are going to get. Signing a longer contract may help you to get a better price, provided that this wont cause problems for your business in the long term. Compare the Ethernet first mile market today.
Weve dealt with a lot of businesses that opt for a leased line service, mainly because it provides high performance at a lower cost. Redirecting to the Daisy Partner Business site. Leased lines were used to connect the customer site to the telco network access point. Virgin Media Business reserves the right to withdraw or amend the pricing if you change any part of your package. Who are the top 10 Ethernet first mile providers in the UK?
If your business currently experiences slow internet during peak hours, you may think that this is a minor issue. Which means you can upload and download at the same speed. Upload speeds determine how quickly you can send data. There are a number of advantages that the Internet leased line has over broadband for medium and big businesses. Typically, eofttc are used by businesses to connect geographically distant offices.
WHY USE A WIRELESS LEASED LINE? The most basic way is that if your primary circuit goes down, you manually plug your equipment into the backup line. Upload and Download speeds will remain consistent throughout. The asynchronous nature of the connection makes it easier and quicker to transfer large files between your sites, and it will be better for data-hungry cloud applications. Why do prices for leased lines costs differ so much?
With a dedicated leased line, the bandwidth you require has been given to you and only you have access to it. If your line was ever to drop below that level you start earning money back off your next bill. If STATUS is OPERATIONAL , the dynamic LSP is established successfully. However, just because the price has fallen, theyre still slightly more expensive compared to other forms of connectivity. A simple search on Bing for leased line provider will give you what you need.
It is very effective for high-speed design as electrical bandwidth involves the cost. There will also be no restriction on the amount of data you are allowed to transfer. The subscription amount is usually paid on a yearly basis. Or waited whilst you're uploading a file, your business isn't as effective as it could be. With leased lines cost you get an uncontested dedicated Internet line just for you.
So at least you know if you do proceed that you wont suddenly get another invoice for additional work at a later date. The providers of Leased Line services usually offer you several package options to help meet specific business needs in terms of bandwidth and speed requirements. Over the years, weve stayed dedicated to our core belief. A leased line needs to be symmetrical, uncontended and point to point. If you search on Google for 10gb leased line you'll be presented witha plethora of options.
Uncategorized Comments are closed. It is commonly thought that distance is a major impact on leased line costs. Whether youre making sales of a product, offering services to a client or. Latency is the term that is used to describe delays that occur while processing data over an internet connection. Why not type Hosted VoIP into Bing and see what it comes up with.
Its a leased line, which means its dedicated to you. And all the while, you'd be without connectivity. With a leased line, however, these speeds are identical, which is a massive advantage. With a broadband connection, the time frame of fixing the issues is longer as compared to the ILL. A simple search on Google for leased line quote will give you what you need.
Secondly, they come with higher-grade more-expensive hardware, which is more reliable. No rural secondary schools can afford this. If your business is moving towards cloud computing, fibre leased line connectivity is crucial. Leased lines make use of fiber optic cables. Do you get good customer responses when you're searching for leased line comparison ?
This has the benefit ofyou simply plugging in your equipment to the termination point and configure your network as you see fit. However, it is a dedicated line set up to serve only your company and is not shared with other users. With each generation, the growth of mobile communications has increased by leaps and bounds. What's more, its scalable bandwidth means it can grow with you as your business does, to give you the best service possible for your working days. Do you need a quote for leased lines ?
Leased line gives inexpensive things for communication in your business. The reality of point to point leased lines is if you dont know what they are the chances are your business doesnt need one. Standard broadband services are usually asymmetrical, meaning the upload speed is nowhere near as fast as the download speed. This can result in data being transmitted more slowly at some times than others, leading to lag. Getting BT leased line prices used to be the only option in the UK but now there are other options for leased line prices.
There is absolutely no requirement to buy internet access on a leased line, although it is worth noting that it is common for companies to do so when they buy a dedicated leased line. Although using the internet can be much less reliable and secure, if your business is not as internet critical, then the likelihood is that a standard, market ready DSL broadband connection will do the job for you at a fraction of the price. The following example uses the command output on LSRA. However, a much better solution is for the provider to ensure that this happens automatically, with a box on site handling the shift to the backup service within seconds of it detecting that your main circuit is down. So, whats the truth behind all the leased line pricing on the market?
Having a leased line connection is not the same as using broadband. In most cases however, such interruptions will be known on beforehand and the operation can be planned. The most basic way is that if your primary circuit goes down, you manually plug your equipment into the backup line. The word leased refers to the connection rented by the Internet Service Provider directly to a business.

Emergency SOS via satellite allows users to text emergency services even if they are outside of an area with Wi-Fi or cell coverage. It can be useful if, for example, you’re hiking and have an emergency but aren’t anywhere near a wireless network. Apple said the feature has “helped save lives around the world” in a release Wednesday.
Eventually, when Apple decides to charge for the feature, it will provide another source of recurring revenue for the company’s services business, which generated $22.31 billion in sales during Apple’s fiscal fourth quarter. Apple still hasn’t said how much it will cost.
The free trial of Emergency SOS via satellite applies to iPhone 14 users who activated their device in an eligible country or region before Nov. 15, Apple said. The service is also available to users who purchased one of Apple’s iPhone 15 devices, which was announced in September.
Apple announced additional satellite-based safety features in September like Roadside Assistance via satellite. The feature can connect users to the roadside service company AAA if they experience trouble with their vehicle in an area without cell service or wifi. The feature is free to iPhone 15 users for two years.
Shares of Apple were up less than 1% Wednesday.
