In the spring of 2015, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), under then-President Obama, promulgated its rules pertaining to an “open Internet,” also known as “net neutrality,” classifying broadband Internet services, such as AT&T, CenturyLink, Verizon, and Windstream, as utilities. The FCC justified its rules on the ground that they “are designed to protect free expression and innovation on the Internet and promote investment in the nation’s broadband networks…ensuring consumers and businesses have access to a fast, fair, and open Internet.”
The “bright line rules” apply to forbid:
- Blocking: broadband providers may not block access to legal content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices;
- Throttling: broadband providers may not impair or degrade lawful Internet traffic on the basis of content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices; and
- Paid Prioritization: broadband providers may not favor some lawful Internet traffic over other lawful traffic in exchange for consideration of any kind—in other words, no “fast lanes.” This rule also bans ISPs from prioritizing content and services of their affiliates.
A fourth rule, the “General Conduct Rule,” prohibits broadband providers from “unreasonably” interfering with or disadvantaging end users’ ability to use broadband Internet access services, and also prohibits broadband’s interference with edge providers’ ability to make its content and services available to end users.
As the D.C. Circuit Court explained, it is through a broadband provider, like those named above, that most consumers connect to the Internet, using a modem, a digital subscriber line (DSL), or fiber optics. These broadband providers deliver their services through fiber optic links or high speed routers, in contrast to the so called “[e]dge providers, like Netflix, Google, and Amazon, which provide content, services, and applications over the Internet.
In June 2016, in the case US Telecom Association v. FCC, a three judge panel for the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit denied petitions for review submitted by three separate groups of petitioners, consisting primarily of broadband providers and their associations. The above-mentioned AT&T, CenturyLink, Verizon, and Windstream, among many others, are members of one of the petitioners, the US Telecom Association.
The petitioners were challenging the FCC’s 2015 Open Internet Order (Order), in which the FCC 1) reclassified broadband service as a telecommunications service, subject to certain common carrier regulations; 2) refrained from applying many of these regulatory provisions to broadband service; and 3) promulgated the bright line rules to promote Internet openness.
The petitioners argued that the FCC lacked the authority to reclassify broadband service in the first place, but even if it did have such authority, the classification of mobile broadband as a commercial mobile service was impermissible.
After the June 2016 decision upholding the FCC’s net neutrality scheme, the petitioners asked the entire panel of judges to rehear their case, and last month, the Court declined. This means that the FCC’s actions stand.
According to Bloomberg Technology, net neutrality is a win for the edge providers, but a setback for the telecommunications providers who oppose “intrusive government oversight and threatened investment and innovation.” But this may be short-lived, because the new FCC chairman, Ajit Pai, had already promised to make net neutrality less neutral by, for instance, making it possible to speed up Internet access for companies who are willing to pay more for it.
In late April, the FCC circulated a document titled Restoring Internet Freedom Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for tentative consideration at its May meeting. The effort is designed to “end the utility-style regulatory approach that gives government control of the Internet and to restore the market-based policies necessary to preserve the future of Internet Freedom, and to reverse the decline in infrastructure investment, innovation, and options for consumers put into motion by the FCC in 2015.”
More specifically, the NPRM proposes to “return to the light-touch regulatory framework first established on a bipartisan basis during the Clinton Administration,” by doing the following, among other things:
- Reinstate the information service classification of broadband Internet access service;
- Reinstate the determination that mobile broadband Internet access service is not a commercial mobile service;
- Return authority to the Federal Trade Commission to police the privacy practices of Internet service providers;
- Eliminate the vague Internet conduct standard;
- Re-evaluate the Commission’s enforcement regime to analyze whether regulatory intervention in the market [based on forecasts rather than actual results] is necessary.
Interested parties may provide their feedback on or before July 17, 2017.
Consumer Reports opined that the movement to undo the net neutrality rules, approved by a 2 to 1 vote of the FCC, “should be chilling to everyone who values the Internet as a platform for free speech, commerce, entrepreneurship, and citizen engagement…Preserving the open Internet has prompted an unprecedented response from consumers on multiple occasions, with millions voicing their continued support for net neutrality rules. We implore Chairman Pai to listen to the interests of the public the Commission was tasked with protecting.”
Further, Consumer Reports pointed out, “much of the tech industry” supports the current net neutrality system. The Internet Association, on behalf of edge providers like Apple, Google, and Netflix, declared that the “Internet industry is uniform in its belief that net neutrality preserves the consumer experience, competition, and innovation online. In other words, existing net neutrality rules should be enforced and kept intact.”
The broadband providers, however, assert that, “they are suffering under an unneeded layer of regulation…the current regulatory regime ‘raises costs, which are ultimately born by consumers, and threatens the continued growth and expansion of Internet networks throughout America.’”
Unfortunately, the magazine acknowledged, “this is just the start of a drawn-out rule-making process.”


Memberikan pengertian tentang CCTV tentu saja bisa dilakukan oleh siapapun dengan tingkat pemahaman yang dimiliki masing-masing, karena itu kami memutuskan untuk memberikan penjelasan tentang arti CCTV kepada Anda sekalian dari sumber yang jelas dan bisa dipercaya.
Jadi ini dia pengertian tentang CCTV yang benar, kami kutip dari wikipedia.com
contoh hasil rekaman cctv ip camera
Closed-circuit television (CCTV), also known as video surveillance, is the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors. It differs from broadcast television in that the signal is not openly transmitted, though it may employ point to point (P2P), point to multipoint, or mesh wireless links. Though almost all video cameras fit this definition, the term is most often applied to those used for surveillance in areas that may need monitoring such as banks, casinos, airports, military installations, and convenience stores. Videotelephony is seldom called "CCTV" but the use of video in distance education, where it is an important tool, is often so called.
In industrial plants, CCTV equipment may be used to observe parts of a process from a central control room, for example when the environment is not suitable for humans. CCTV systems may operate continuously or only as required to monitor a particular event. A more advanced form of CCTV, utilizing digital video recorders (DVRs), provides recording for possibly many years, with a variety of quality and performance options and extra features (such as motion detection and email alerts). More recently, decentralized IP cameras, some equipped with megapixel sensors, support recording directly to network-attached storage devices, or internal flash for completely stand-alone operation. Surveillance of the public using CCTV is particularly common in many areas around the world. In recent years, the use of body worn video cameras has been introduced as a new form of surveillance.

How much Internet speed do you need?
Different households and businesses can have drastically different Internet needs. A single person who uses the internet only to access social media won’t need as much internet speed as a business of five video conferencing, for example.
Let’s take a look at some internet speeds and what you can do with them:
For example, Netflix streaming requires a download speed of 1.5 Mbps for low quality, 3 Mbps for SQ quality, and 5 Mbps for HD quality, so any of MorClick’s Satellite Internet Solutions can comfortably handle any binge-watching needs!
It is also ideal for streaming music via applications like Spotify and Napster. Music giant Spotify for example only requires .096 Mbps of speed for streaming on your phone and .1670 Mbps to listen on your computer or tablet.
MorClick also delivers good video chat capability. Video chat users, according to Skype, need 1.5 Mbps download and 1.5 Mbps upload, while video calls with multiple people need 8 Mbps to download.
Due to transmission latency, MorClick does not support online gaming or real-time equities trading.
Now that you know all about Internet speed, you can see that MorClick Satellite Internet Solutions has a package to suit the needs of your household and/or business.
Even when you live in a remote location, we have a package capable of delivering a different level of bandwidth to match your needs!

Active Noise Canceling (ANC) is a technology of noise reduction. Firstly, it makes use of a microphone to pick up the noise and sends to the ANC circuit. Then, the ANC circuit processes a signal to the headphone speaker (which is the same speaker you use to listen to music). Next, the speaker emits an extra sound wave in the opposite direction to the incoming noise. Finally, the unwanted noise is canceled out and the remaining sound is the “resulting sound” generated to your ears. This is how an ANC headphone works to reduce ambient noise.
There are three types of active noise cancellation:
Their difference is only about the position of the microphone.
Feedforward is a setup that the microphone is placed behind the speaker. The headset speaker is in between the listener’s ear and the mic. You should find there is one microphone on the most outside part of each cup. This kind of ANC headphones has total 2pcs of microphones. For example, DECALIFE ANC TWS Earbuds 501, there is a mic on each touch panel of the earbud.
In the Feedback setup, the mic is installed in front of the speaker wherein between the listener’s ear and the speaker. You should find a mic in the middle part of each ear cup. This kind of ANC headphones also has total 2pcs of microphones. For example, DECALIFE ANC headphone V8S, there is a mic on each side of headphone besides the control buttons.
Hybrid is a combination of both of the two methods, so it has 2 microphones on each side, and total 4pcs of microphones. For example, DECALIFE ANC headphone V12Q, each ear cup has one microphone on the surface and the other one on the side panel.
Which kind of ANC headphone is the best?
Hearing the ambient sound, the mic keeps sending the signal to the headphone to create the anti-noise wave to reduce and block out the ambient noise. The basic concept of different kind of ANC headphones is the same.
Theoretically, Feedforward ANC picks up the noise earlier than Feedback ANC as the noise comes through the mic first then to the listener’s ear. Feedback blocks out the noise more accurately as the mic is behind the speaker and hears exactly what the listener hears. Hybrid actually combines the advantages of the two and it is the best method. However, other things we need to take into account is the music quality. It does not mean which method could perform a better sound quality. Hybrid is the most expensive solution. Not only because they have 4 microphones, but it also requires more expert skill and higher quality materials to avoid electrical noise and filtering out the sweet frequency of our favorite songs.

Wired Burglar Alarms Reading
Our wired commercial and house alarm systems are widely used in Reading and further afield. Wired burglar alarms have cabling connecting the control panel to the sensors and the sensors to the power source. With wired systems, tangible wires are evident and so sensors and cameras. This type of system is really simple for our team of engineers to install as we’ve been doing this from the start of our time 30 years ago. Unlike wireless system that can only extend so far, these hardwired systems are particularly beneficial for larger homes and larger spaces.
Wireless Burglar Alarms Reading
Surrey Security Systems also offer wireless intruder alarm systems throughout Reading, surrounding areas and across all of Berkshire. We have a number of options with our wireless systems and this will not require our team to manually fit wires or cables. Wireless alarms can grow from a basic, small system to a complex web depending on your budget and requirements. Running on Li-Ion batteries gives them even greater flexibility and the reliability of operating during power failures.
Monitored alarms consist of a clear connection between your home security system and your security provider. Through the latest technology, control panels are able to register a break-in or intrusion and send a directly signal to the monitoring station. in turn, this will then automatically send another signal to your local emergency services where they will be notified immediately. With monitored alarms, you get true peace of mind and you can expect a significant reduction with insurance premiums thanks to this installation.
Audible Bell Systems
Our Audible Bell systems help to make neighbours aware of any potential break-in at commercial and domestic properties. Bell-only and audible systems often serve as the entry alarm system that also provide a visual deterrent to opportunist thieves. Simply by having an alarm on show externally, potential thieves are much more likely to seek out another nearby target instead. Audible Bell System work by internal sensors and detectors constantly monitoring movement and noise within your property. Automated and more advanced settings are also available.

Resumo: This article describes the performance tests applied on the main components of a high stability signal synthesizer, DDS-based, that is being developed at Inmetro to ensure traceability to the SI in ac quantities and facilitate their standards calibration. It is being developed to work as a transfer standard for the Josephson Voltage Standard (JVS) in ac voltagessimilarly to Zeners for dc voltages. For projects that require precise signalslike this, it is highly necessary to evaluate each step of its construction and the characteristics of its components. To do so, evaluations such as power supply stability, DDS frequency stability, rms jitter, and noise attenuation of voltage regulators were made. Results found for the output signal frequency (generated by direct digital synthesis) showed oscillations between 0.09 Hz and 0.10 Hz and output stability with proportionally low values of Allan deviation. Regarding the voltage regulators, it was found a 75 dB average noise attenuation.

“Telecoils embedded in personal hearing aids have long been a discreet solution for people with hearing loss. They improve the quality of the sound they hear—whether it be in a noisy train station or on a city walking tour. Today many venues—from airport terminals to hotel conference rooms and theaters—offer a next-level hearing experience using a hearing loop.”
“All hearing loops use the same frequency in the U.S. and throughout the world. Whether you are at Domodedovo airport in Moscow, visiting Westminster Abbey in London or enjoying the Sydney Opera House in Australia, there are hearing loops.”

____ is the dynamic page-generation technology developed by Sun Microsystems
A ____ spam filter examines From addresses and compares them to a list of known good sender addresses.
___content is nonstatic information constructed in response to a Web client’s request
____ is the number of HTTP requests that a particular hardware and software combination can process in a unit of time.


File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a communications protocol used to send files from computer to computer, with one of them acting as the server, providing the two have an Internet connection. A networking protocol between client and server, FTP allows users to download web pages, files, and programs that are available on other services. When the user wants to download the information to their own computer, they are using FTP. FTP does not use encryption. For authentication, it relies on cleartext usernames and passwords, making data transmissions sent over FTP vulnerable to ordinary methods of eavesdropping, impersonation, and other attacks.


Massive MIMO systems are highly efficient but critically rely on accurate channel state information (CSI) at the base station in order to determine appropriate precoders. CSI acquisition requires sending pilot symbols which induce an important overhead. In this paper, a method whose objective is to determine an appropriate precoder from the knowledge of the user’s location only is proposed. Such a way to determine precoders is known as location based beamforming. It allows to reduce or even eliminate the need for pilot symbols, depending on how the location is obtained. the proposed method learns a direct mapping from location to precoder in a supervised way. It involves a neural network with a specific structure based on random Fourier features allowing to learn functions containing high spatial frequencies. It is assessed empirically and yields promising results on realistic synthetic channels. As opposed to previously proposed methods, it allows to handle both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) channels.


The loud thunder and downpours of rain has kept me up for most of the night and with no telephone service or Internet , it became just a little frightening. I normally don’t scare that easy, but the Life Alert system is activated by my phone service and the lines were down somewhere so I had neither phone or Internet service.
The what ifs run through my mind but then I realize I have a cell phone and hopefully that will work in an emergency situation. And so I think I need to keep it near my bed just in case the phone service is interrupted. For now it is still wet and gloomy, but the phones are back and so is the Internet. I might just take a nap and listen to the pitter patter of the rain.
Hope it is sunny where ever you are..


HOPKINTON — An upgrade to the CodeRED alert system is enhancing the towns’ ability to communicate with the public, including an expanded feature that allows for those with mobile and VoIP phones as a primary number to now sign up.
The Hopkinton Emergency Management Agency is encouraging residents and business owners to sign up or update their information through the CodeRED emergency alert and notification system, the town’s reverse alert system, ahead of a scheduled system test at 10 a.m. on Sept. 12.
“Residents and businesses are encouraged to visit our website and update their contact information, in particular those individuals who have unlisted phone numbers, who have changed their phone number or address within the past year, and those who use a cellular phone or VoIP phone as their primary number,” said Hopkinton Emergency Management Director Ronald J. MacDonald III.
“The more residents who actively add or update their contact information in the emergency database, the better able we are to protect people and property,” he said.
CodeRED is a service provided through OnSolve, an international solutions firm, and is one of the most used emergency alert systems in the United States. MacDonald said the CodeRED system allows town officials to effectively reach residents and personnel by using the system’s capabilities to send telephone calls, text messages, emails and social media posts to inform residents and better protect life and property.
According to the company’s website, the product can deliver messages in a wide variety of ways including geo-targeting specific neighborhoods to relay time-sensitive information to anyone who is signed up for the service. Messages can be sent using voice calls, email, SMS, IPAWS and more.
Hopkinton Police Capt. Mark Carrier said the system has proven to be a valuable resource for the community.
“There are a number of ways we can use this system,” Carrier said. “We could utilize it in the event of a public danger; we could use it to help us locate lost children or someone with Alzeheimer’s; we could send alerts in the event of something like a hurricane. It’s a fast, effective tool for communication.”
Carrier said the system expansion is designed to help the town reach a larger audience, especially as many residents and business owners “cut the cord,” often cancelling landline phone services, and instead move to more digital means of communication.

Cut The Cord, Let's Go Virtual
Updated: 4 days ago
It goes without saying that the Covid-19 pandemic has forced businesses and government to re-vector their business operations. From closing down offices to re-inventing products they never imagined possible to produce.
The same can be said of delivering IT services in this new normal. The sudden shift to working-from-home has created some serious stress and headache amongst IT staff, given the limited solutions that were in place on day-1 of this pandemic. Having employees work from home was a brave and required decision. Not an easy feat for most of us, as we're programmed to work in an office building or plant, amongst colleagues, with access to a desk, phone, computer, printer and vending machine.
Being able to reach over the cubical divider to ask your colleague a question is suddenly gone. Not always replaceable by an email or chat. We're not just working remote from the office, but also remote from your colleagues.
So how to create a seamless (as possible) communication layer amongst employees, corporation and customers? No big deal, one may state, we've got email and one of many video conferencing platforms, right? This is only half the issue to tackle.
Having access to voice services is essential. Think of it. How is your reception able to transfer calls to an internal number, now that you're no longer inside the office? How to relay calls to a team, in a sales hunt group, access the voicemail on your office desk phone, etc. All simple day-to-day features we take for granted, and suddenly out of reach....
Using Cloud-Based Voice over IP (VoIP) services, as successfully deployed inside Hexaport and several of our customers infrastructures during the pandemic, has proven instant success.
We were able to mirror the workflow from traditional on-premise telephony onto a cloud-based platform within weeks. Employees at home are now able to use a soft client app on their smartphone and computer and use a VoIP phone handset plugged into their home router as a corporate phone extension. FindMe-FollowMe features enable users to be available anywhere-anytime. Calling, messaging, video sharing, document access, all within a single User Interface and replicating the office inside a virtual dome.
Cloud-based VoIP came also with a suite of services that typically are only available to larger on-premise platforms. And... Cloud-based VoIP resulted for one of our customer in a 50% reduction in annual operational cost.

My research interest is around making the Internet of Things (IoT) seamless and user friendly for people with no technical background.
The Internet of Things is widely considered as the next digital revolution, enabling significant improvement of public services by turning them into smart environments augmented with a wide range of sensors collecting various types of data. However, the technical skills required to use those environments, and concerns about privacy and trust, are major barriers to the wide adoption of the IoT.
I am currently working on the implementation of an opportunistic communication and spontaneous authentication protocol for the IoT. The protocol reduces the need of users to participate in the integration of a device into a smart environment, thus making IoT environments user friendly and seamless for people with no technical background.
The project aims to accelerate the development of technology–enabled environments and consequently to the evolution of the IoT itself. To inform my research I am using my background in information security, web development and user experience design.


Automatic fire alarm systems are fairly common today. Most homes, businesses and commercial complexes have installed these alarm systems to safeguard themselves against fire and its adverse affects on life and property. These systems generally consist of a series of devices that act in tandem to avert a fire or damage caused by fire.
All such systems have a basic device called the initiating device that detects the advent of fire or other signals like smoke in the air. These devices can detect fire through a rise in temperature or through smoke particles that fill the air around these devices. Other than the initiating device’s basic function of alerting about a fire, modern equipments also have recording facilities to enable monitoring.
The alarms are the other parts of the set up and these are triggered off as the initiating device detects some problem. Generally most detectors themselves can sound a beep but it can go unheard if no one is around. Hence, it is always wise to invest in alarms that ring loudly to alert all occupants of a building or home.
These devices are connected through a set of wiring that runs from a central outlet to control all devices. Some basic alarms also come with battery operated instruments and they do not require wiring. However, if your building is still under construction, it is always wise to plan such wiring requirements and install them during the construction itself.
The central device that controls all these devices is called the control panel. A wire runs from the control panel to connect all devices. In good systems, the wire comes back to the panel and creates a loop through which individual devices can send and receive signals from the control panel. It makes the process of recording system performance much easier.
Working of an Automatic Fire Alarm System
With all the devices explained above, a fire alarm system works to protect life and property. A signal is sent by the detectors or the initiating devices to the control panels. These devices have a simple mechanism in which they trip to send a signal. As the control panel receives the signal, it sends a message to the alarm devices to ring.
Certain alarm systems also have a set of flash lights or strobe lights that are set on by the control panel when they receive a signal from the initiating device. These lights are installed in addition to alarm so that people with hearing impairment can be alerted about the fire. The lights can also be noticed from a distance where sound of the alarm could not reach.
Manual alarm systems have manual levers that can be pulled to inform about the fire. These levers when pulled make a very loud noise to inform all occupants of a building. However, they need to be operated by an individual and thus, should be installed only in low risk places and where there are people working round the clock.
Hence, an automatic fire alarm system can safeguard your premises and your valuables even when no one is around.

The Indian Government has recently auctioned the 5G (5th Generation telecom technology) frequency spectrum to telecom companies, wherein the Government garnered a whopping Rs 1.5 lakh crore. We have indeed come a long way – from 1G which allowed just making and receiving calls and 2G which allowed text messages to be sent or received, to 3G which gave access to the internet to 4G with its increased internet access speed and now 5G which takes the internet access speed to greater heights. While the telecom industry is gung-ho about the 5G technology, it is time to take stock of the pros and cons of this technology.
The high frequency used in 5G allows for faster data transmission rates of up to 20 Gbps. This high speed shall enable high-resolution video streaming, and faster downloading in a few seconds which presently takes minutes or hours at times as in the case of downloading movies. On the other hand, uploading shall still take place at moderate speeds of 100 Mbps.
The low latency in 5G of less than one millisecond implies that the time lag associated with data transfer shall be minuscule, thereby offering a good user experience while browsing. This low response time shall support new applications such as IoT (Internet of Things), industrial automation, computer gaming, and augmented or virtual reality.
The capacity offered by 5G is 100 times higher than that of 4G, which implies that a much larger number of devices can be simultaneously connected to a 5G network. There is a seamless transition between cellular devices and wireless Wifi. Moreover, guaranteed network availability for hospitals and private networks for firms and universities are possible now.
With internet access currently at 60% and growing at a fast clip, the common man in India shall no doubt be impacted by the new technology in myriad ways. With the possibility of running multiple parallel services, one can get weather information while talking. We shall be able to control our personal computers (PCs) and laptops by mobile handsets. While a remotely located student can attend school virtually, a doctor shall be able to operate on a remotely located patient with the help of video technology and medical robots. The traffic management system, along with self-driven cars, shall witness a sea change. “Smart Farming” can be put in place which shall intimate farmers about critical information including rainfall and optimum use of water. Natural disasters such as earthquakes could be predicted early on thereby reducing damage and saving precious lives.
Despite its many advantages, 5G has a few negatives as well. In Phase 1, it shall be available in only 13 cities of India leaving the roll-out in other cities and rural areas to a later date. Implementing 5G still requires the existing 4G network; later on, the independent 5G network shall have to be established if the full potential of 5G has to be realized. This shall require investment in base stations and transmission towers by the players, apart from 5G-compatible handsets to be bought by consumers. Also, it should be pointed out that what one gains in speed with 5G, one loses on the range of the system – 5G requires more towers than 4G to adequately cover a geographical area and thus is a more capital-intensive technology. There is also some concern about cybersecurity because of hacking and data theft.
To sum up, 5G is the way forward, despite a few shortcomings; how it pans out – only time will tell!

Are you one of those who cannot survive without the internet? Stuck with a slow Internet connection due to the place or the service provider? The internet connection speed has become a major issue nowadays. Small to big, all the tasks in some of the other ways have the interference of the internet, bringing it to an end. The internet has become the fourth basic necessity of life apart from food, clothing, and shelter, or shall we say everything is possible with the internet today. Well, either way, the importance of an internet connection can be felt. The internet users worldwide have invested 1.3 Billion years of human time using the net in 2020 itself.
The issue of internet connection speed is not brand new. Rather everyone faces this situation on some other day but, not everyone is well aware of some of the simple remedies to adopt for this problem. There are some easy ways through which you can quickly fix the internet connection speed. Let me tell you that the devices you use to get a connection can help solve the issue up to quite an extent. Discussed below are some quick tips to speed up your home internet connection all by yourself.
1. Move The Router
The place where the router is kept has a vital role to play in the internet connection speed. People might feel keeping a router inside the shelf would be safer, while they don’t know that such safer places could negatively impact the speed of the internet. To know more about the router login details, find out here. Keep your router at an open place and at a location from where the signals are accessible to the vital parts of the house, and for that, you may even need some cabling to fix the router in the central part of the house to get the router close to the devices like the laptop and so on.
2. Use Ethernet Cable
Today in the world of shortcuts, we forgot that there are wired internet connections too. The wired connections work the best in comparison to the wireless ones, both in terms of stability and speed. The only drawback with the cabled connections is that it has a limitation to where it can be kept. All you need is to be tidy in the cable management and adjust the cables as effectively as possible. It would be tedious initially but ultimately be a long term solution for slow internet.
3. Secure Your Internet Connection with a Password
It would be dumb to advise anyone of passwording their Wi-Fi. Rather it should be assumed as done. This is one of the tricks for the generous angels who haven’t yet put a password for extending a helping hand to the neighbors. This helps keep the hackers away along with the Netflixing neighbors of yours. Out of all, AES Encryption is the most secured security option, which also provides great speed.
4. Switch to a Different Channel or Band
In layman’s terms, while listening to the radio, not every channel may work, and therefore you change the channel. Similar is the case with the router. The Routers to use a particular Wi-Fi channel to work. If there is a similar Wi-Fi channel that your neighbors living close by are using too then there might be a problem in the internet connection speed and therefore changing the channel can be a big relief in such cases, and this is quite effective as an option to increase the speed of the internet.
5. Calling the ISP
Still, banging your head in your stupid router? Seems the above measures didn’t go well with you. But wait, there’s still a savior left. I would recommend you calling your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for help. This way, you can get a route to speed up your router. The ISP might send a technician for the rescue. He can provide a solution immediately after recognizing the problem by listening to the symptoms, or the expert may pinpoint a situation that you have probably overlooked. After all, he is the doctor of the device.
Many other technical measures may be a better and long-term solution to this issue, but it usually takes more time, and the procedures may be even longer and tiresome. So, we have tried to help you with some quick and readily adaptable solutions and those available at your arm’s length. These are the 5-minute remedies that could act as a last-minute savior to easily speed up your home internet connection. Nonetheless, it is recommended to opt for the permanent solutions as the ones described above might be temporarily helpful.

I’m excited to dive into the fascinating world of Smart DNS vs VPN.
In this article, we will explore the basics of both technologies and understand how they work.
I’ll highlight the benefits of using a VPN and discuss the speed and performance differences between Smart DNS and VPN.
In today’s digital age, internet security becomes paramount. When it comes to preserving online anonymity and accessing geo-restricted content, many often debate Smart DNS vs VPN. Choosing between the two can be confusing, but fear not, because this comprehensive smart dns vs vpn guide.is here to shed some light on the matter.
Ultimately, our goal is to help you make an informed decision on which option is right for you.
In this article, we will dive deep into the world of online privacy and explore the secrets of smart dns vs vpn. We will analyze their similarities and differences, uncovering which option is better suited for different situations and why.
So let’s get started and unravel the mysteries behind these powerful tools!
The Basics: Smart DNS and VPN
Smart DNS and VPN are two popular methods for accessing geo-restricted content online. While both options have their benefits, it’s important to understand their advantages and disadvantages.
Smart DNS offers several advantages, such as faster speeds and compatibility with a wide range of devices. It allows users to bypass geographical restrictions by simply modifying the DNS settings on their device.
On the other hand, using a VPN provides enhanced security and privacy features by encrypting internet traffic and masking the user’s IP address. However, VPNs can sometimes slow down internet speeds due to the encryption process.
Understanding these differences is crucial in choosing the right method for accessing geo-restricted content online based on individual preferences and needs.
Now let’s delve into understanding smart DNS in more detail.
Understanding Smart DNS
Understanding how DNS works can help users make informed decisions when choosing between a smart DNS and a VPN. Smart DNS technology is designed to provide faster access to geo-restricted content by bypassing the need for data encryption. Here’s how it works:
- IP address interception: When you try to access a website, your device sends a request to the DNS server.
- DNS resolution: The DNS server identifies the IP address associated with the requested domain name.
- Transparent redirection: Instead of sending all your internet traffic through a remote server like a VPN does, smart DNS only redirects specific requests related to region-specific content.
- Fast streaming: With smart DNS, your connection remains direct and unencrypted, allowing for faster streaming speeds compared to using a VPN.

The Benefits of Using a VPN
If you want to ensure your online privacy and secure your internet connection, using a VPN has numerous benefits. Not only does it provide security advantages, but it also allows you to access geo-restricted content.
When you use a VPN, all of your internet traffic is encrypted, making it nearly impossible for anyone to intercept or view your data. This is especially important when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks, as they are often unsecured and pose a significant risk to your personal information.
Additionally, by connecting to a VPN server located in another country, you can bypass regional restrictions and access content that may be blocked in your location. Whether you want to stream movies from different regions or access websites that are restricted based on geographical location, a VPN offers the control and freedom you desire.
Comparing Smart DNS and VPN: Speed and Performance
When it comes to comparing speed and performance, you’ll find that a VPN offers encrypted security while a Smart DNS provides faster connection speeds.
Here’s a breakdown of the key differences between the two:
- Security features: A VPN encrypts your internet traffic, ensuring that your data is protected from hackers and other prying eyes. On the other hand, Smart DNS does not offer any encryption, meaning your data is not secure.
- Compatibility with streaming services: Many streaming services have started blocking access to VPNs in an attempt to enforce regional restrictions. However, Smart DNS can bypass these restrictions more effectively, allowing you to access geo-restricted content with ease.
- Connection speed: Since a Smart DNS does not encrypt your data like a VPN does, it can provide faster connection speeds. This makes it ideal for activities such as streaming or gaming where speed is crucial.
- Ease of use: Setting up and using a Smart DNS is generally easier compared to configuring and using a VPN, making it more user-friendly for those who desire control without dealing with complex settings.
Choosing the Right Option for You
To make the best choice for your needs, consider factors such as security, speed, and ease of use.

New technology makes it easy to share pregnancy photos with family and friends.
Idaho Falls, Idaho – Rosemark Women Care Specialists has invested in a cutting edge technology that enables patients to immediately download 3D ultrasound photos and videos to their smart phone where they can post to their social media pages like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
The new technology developed by Trice Imaging, Inc., enables ultrasound sonographers to immediately text or email a secure link to the digital ultrasound images and videos. Patients and proud parents can then access their ultrasound pictures for them to digitally save, print and share on social media. Historically, most ultrasounds images were printed on thermal paper and over time, the thermal paper fades and diminishes the picture quality.
With this new technology, patients will have access to digital images and videos on their computer, smart phone or other devise. Rosemark has received a lot of positive feedback from patients about this new technology. They are impressed with the digital quality of the images and the speed in which they received the pictures of their upcoming arrival. “Family and friends often stay connected through social media. This technology allows excited parents to easily share the first pictures of their baby with their extended family,” states Jay Seedall Executive Director Medical Operations. Rosemark offers a variety of ultrasound services including “gender check” to 3D pictures and 4D video.
The Tricify technology is compliant with all privacy and compliance standards to ensure patient privacy.
Trice Imaging, Inc. is mobilizing medical images with their cloud-based system Tricefy, making it possible to send scans from any imaging modality to a mobile device. Physicians can access images and reports from anywhere and remotely collaborate with other physicians, while obtaining cost-efficient, secured, backed-up storage. Patients can immediately receive high-quality images that they can print, store, publish, share with family and friends, or send to doctors for a second opinion.
Trice Imaging’s patented technology was awarded “Best Mobile Innovation for Health” at the 20th Global Mobile Awards and is currently improving medical imaging systems and diagnostic software in 15 geographic markets.

A GPS, or Global Positioning System, is a satellite-based navigational system. It is comprised of 24 satellites that the U.S. Department of Defense placed in orbit, originally for military operations. In the 1980s the U.S. government opened up the system for civilian use. Since that time Global Positioning Systems have become increasingly popular for numerous applications.
GPS works in any weather, in almost any location, and at any time. The only places where signals cannot be received are caves, tunnels, inside buildings, and under water. Using it does not require a subscription fee or setup charge-it's available free to anyone who wants to use it. GPS receivers are extremely accurate, often to within 15 feet or less.
The GPS consists of three parts: satellites that orbit Earth, control and monitoring stations on Earth, and receivers owned by users. GPS receivers pick up signals that satellites broadcast. The receiver provides latitude, longitude, altitude, and time.
Many automobiles now have built-in GPS. Some automotive GPS by Garmin and other manufacturers contact emergency assistance, while other systems also provide location and direction information.
Occupational applications of GPS continue to multiply. It has increased the efficiency and decreased the cost of surveying by reducing site setup time and dramatically improving accuracy. Foresters and farmers use GPS. Geologists, biologists, and other scientists use it for its precision timing capability and for accurate position information. Commercial fisherman, and professional mariners use GPS.
Drivers and dispatchers use it to improve customer service and fleet tracking. It is an essential tool for public safety, emergency response, and disaster relief. In the air, GPS improves pilot communication, navigation, and hazard avoidance. GPS is revolutionizing space exploration.
Recreational uses of GPS navigation systems continue to expand. Hikers, hunters, snowmobilers, fishermen, and boaters use it. In fact, anyone who wants to keep track of where he or she is or figure out how to get from one place to another will find a GPS useful. Without GPS the worldwide activity of geocaching would not be possible. GPS has even improved the game of golf by telling golfers how far they have to hit their balls.
GPS receivers range from relatively small, portable, and affordable handsets for recreational use to an innovative technology developed by NASA for high Earth orbit missions. Enhanced technology is making GPS more available within heavy foliage environments. The increasing incorporation of GPS into cell phones improves emergency response and popularizes its technology.
The newest systems are both more sophisticated and more user friendly than earlier systems. Manufacturer support services enhance the accessibility and availability of the technology.
Manufacturers and distributors provide guidance on which GPS systems are best for specific applications. With many choices of GPS receivers now available, consumer reviews also inform purchases. The Internet is a powerful resource for information on its technology, applications, and equipment and for the purchase of new and refurbished receivers. Commercial, governmental, and scientific websites educate the public on this growing technology that will soon become part of everyday life.


Heralding a New Era of HD Production
Pursuing the ultimate HD system for today and for tomorrow, Sony sets another milestone in the history of multi-format HD camera systems – the HDC-1400R – offering a broader choice of interlace and progressive formats, much greater picture quality, and enhanced operational flexibility.
The HDC-1400R incorporates a newly developed CCD imager and DSP LSI – two key devices that allow it to achieve ultimate picture performance in a variety of scanning modes. The CCD used in this camera can accommodate the popular interlace and progressive scan formats for mainstream broadcast productions including 1080/50i as well as the highest-quality 720/50P images.
The HDC-1400R camera provides digital transmission using SMPTE standard fibre optic cable to transmit high-quality digital data over long distances. The camera also provides two HD SDI outputs and one digitally down-converted SDI or analogue composite output. In addition, viewfinder signals with characters can be output from the SDI output connector, giving camera operators additional convenience.
The HDC-1400R, if required, can be operated in a triax environment utilising the HDTX-100/HDFX-100 triax adapter.
New CCD and DSP provides even greater picture performance
The use of a new, state-of-the-art CCD sensor ensures high quality images even at low light level. The high sensitivity of F11 at 2000 lux, together with a signal to noise ratio of 56 dB combine to deliver unprecedented picture quality.
Dual-format operation – 1080 50i and 720 50P.
The HDC-1400R can operate in a wide variety of capturing modes, including 1080 50i and 720/50p. Furthermore, the CCD can capture 1080 50P images, which can be down sampled to deliver the highest quality 720 50P pictures. In addition optional software allows the HDC-1400R to be upgraded with 1080/25P capability if necessary.
The design of the HDC-1400R is based on over two decades of Sony experience in manufacturing broadcast video cameras and camcorders, and provides a high level of operability. All control switches and connectors are in the most logical places and are positioned for optimum functionality and ease of use. The HDC-1400R’s low centre of gravity design allows the operator to carry the camera comfortably on the shoulder. In addition, the shoulder pad of the HDC-1400R can be adjusted either forwards or backwards without using a screwdriver, so the camera can easily be moved to a well-balanced position.
Sophisticated large lens adaptor design with one-touch, cable-free docking
The HDLA-1500 large lens adaptor includes a unique mechanism which allows the HDC-1400R to be quickly and easily attached and detached without removing the large lens. No additional cable connections are necessary between the camera and adaptor, thanks to a novel “hot shoe” system.
Flexible selectable transmission system both digital fibre optic or analogue triax transmission
The HDC-1400R provides a fully digital transmission link to the base station. Using SMPTE standard hybrid fibre/copper cable, this allows completely transparent transmission of full bandwidth video and audio signals over cable length of up to 3000 metres. This ensures optimum quality HD signals can be delivered into any production environment. Moreover using the HDTX-100/HDFX-100 adaptor, the HDC-1400R can be used with a triax transmission system
The HDC-1400R is equipped with a newly developed three 2/3-inch type 2.2-megapixel HD CCD. Based on Sony HAD sensor technology and the latest on-chip lens structure, this new CCD offers a high sensitivity of F11 at 2000 lx. In addition to this performance, a wide variety of capturing modes including 1080/50i. What´s more, this CCD can be operated in 1080/50i and 720/50P mode to cover all current mainstream HDTV formats.
The HDC-1400R utilises a 14-bit A/D convertor, which enables images captured by the high-performance CCDs to be processed with maximum precision. In particular, this high-resolution A/D conversion allows the gradation in mid-to-dark-tone areas of the picture to be faithfully reproduced. Thanks to this 14-bit A/D convertor, pre-knee signal compression at highlight areas can be eliminated and the camera can clearly reproduce a high-luminance subject at a 600% dynamic range.
At the heart of the outstanding picture performance of the HDC-1400R camera is a newly developed 2/3-inch type 2.2-megapixel full HD progressive CCD. Based on Sony's HAD sensor technology and the latest on-chip lens structure, this CCD offers a high sensitivity of F10 or F11 at 2,000 lx and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio of 56 dB (typical).
Together with a unique "Noise Suppression" function, which reduces the high-frequency noise elements in video signals by using Sony's advanced digital signal processing technology, a 64dB S/N ratio can be achieved.
For easier focusing through the viewfinder, two types of focus assist functions are newly incorporated to the HDC-1400R: Viewfinder Detail and Focus Assist Indicator. To intuitively recognize a focusing point, users of the camera can add dedicated image-enhancing edge signals directly to the viewfinder as "Viewfinder Detail". The "Focus Assist Indicator" is a helpful tool for manual focus adjustments, especially when shooting wide-angle views. An indicator is displayed at the bottom or other positions of the viewfinder frame, enabling users to make more accurate and fine focus adjustments.
The HDC-1400R portable camera is designed to be very compact and lightweight for a high level of mobility in the field. The HDC-1400R camera weighs approximately 4.5 kg ensuring comfortable operation either on the shoulder or on a tripod.

One of the 마사지 알바 most commonly asked questions is how you can pay for voice + data or data-only SIM contracts in Japan. In this post, you will find out where you can buy SIM-free phones in Japan, as well as how to get a locked SIM-free phone unlocked. SIM cards enable travelers to use their mobile phones inside Japan, provided that the phones are unlocked and can operate within Japanese networks (most modern phones can).
There are three basic types of mobile plans in Japan, which are related to what kind of SIM you receive. There are three mobile operators with the biggest and best communications services in Japan, namely, DOCOMO, AU(KDDI) and SOFTBANK, and until 2019, if you wanted to request a mobile number in Japan, it was not as simple as you might think: fill in the form, choose the package, then receive a SIM card and put it straight into the cell phone. If you want to apply for a mobile number in Japan, usually, you have to apply for the mobile package at the same time, and have to purchase the phone on contract with the relevant telecom company.
Contracts are SIM-locked, so once purchased, a contract phone can only be put on a SIM card of that carrier, and it can be used with only that carriers cell phone package. If you buy a smartphone from any of Japans major cell carriers (Docomo, AU, or Softbank) docomo AU Softbank, it will always be on contract, and the phone is SIM-locked. As mentioned earlier, if you buy a phone at one of the main mobile carriers (Docomo, AU, or Softbank), keep in mind that the phone will be SIM locked until you ask for it to be unlocked after a period of time (usually 100 days — if you do not fully repay your handset).
If you buy a mobile phone on your plan, then using the phone overseas may become an interest. To take advantage of the big three companies, you are going to want a SIM-free phone – once again, one that is not locked into any specific network. Worse, you can barely import a phone to Japan and use it on any of those networks.
There are a few smaller companies that offer cheap mobile phone plans to residents, and mobile Internet products for tourists, but these generally use the networks from the four major companies. By going with one of Japans four major players, you can rest assured you will have a wider selection of plans, handset choices, and better coverage than with the other companies. Now that you are familiar with the handset plans and cell carriers, it is time to think about which will work best for you.
This may sound confusing at first, given the many options available to you when looking at mobile phone plans in Japan, but consider this as a way of getting the one best suited for your communications needs. Your options for cell phone plans in Japan are 1) high monthly fees and hidden charges by major mobile players such as NTT Docomo, SoftBank, and AUs NTT Docomo SoftBank AU, or 2) lower-cost, more flexible plans by the new breed of MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators) piggybacking off of networks owned by bigger players. The biggest Japanese cell phone companies are NTT Docomo, AU from KDDI, Softbank (formerly Vodafone, and J-phone before that), and Rakuten Mobile Softbank (formerly Vodafone.
In Japan, cell phones became ubiquitous years before the phenomenon had worldwide reach. While today, most models of cell phones are usable in Japan, certain older phones might not be working because of the difference in technology. Thankfully, that changed several years ago, when the government ended a restrictive practice, which was the total ban of unlocking phones in Japan (the process of making a device work on any carriers network). Moreover, the phones that were sold would not function properly on Japanese networks, and were actually not truly SIM-free phones, but rather, hand-unlocked phones from foreign carriers like China Mobile, which were not designed for use in Japan.
The major difference (besides the fact you cannot make or receive calls, of course) is that your phone does not have a cell phone number attached. When you activate an MVNO SIM, the parent network will be the one displayed on the upper corners of your phone. Enter your phone number and a few numbers from the card that your new SIM is attached to. You may as well follow the line-opening procedure (if you are on a contract with the carrier) as you cannot use a phone on any SIM other than that from the original carrier.
Instead of giving up your phone number each time you want to change cell providers, you can bring your number (with many carriers, anyway). If you want to purchase a phone on two-year installment plans, or claim monthly reductions on your phone bill, you have to have lived in Japan for a minimum of two years — and not just because you told a telecom company, “I am going to live in Japan for two years. For data: Phones that operate in Japan for voice (see above) can also receive and send data (such as email and Web content) through international roaming or the SIM card, but be aware that data charges can easily escalate without an adequate data plan.
We left out plans with lower-volume data below 4GB, though some providers might have plans with just 1GB a month, or even zero data, if you only want to maintain a phone number when out of Japan.
Amazon has a great selection of phones from Y=15,000 to Y=25,000, which are really SIM-free, and come with all of the features that one expects in a smartphone.


IRC is Internet Relay Chat, a protocol for real-time live chat. It is useful for connecting with other libertarians, constituencies, and generally advancing libertarian thought through a more efficient communication medium than is offered by things like email, which are not real-time. In addition to enabling large-scale public communication between groups, private channels can also be set up to allow small groups to communicate securely. Many modern servers allow the use of SSL to connect via an encrypted session to the server, hence your communications cannot be observed by a third-party "snooper" while in transit. Many other chat systems do not allow for secure, encrypted communications, so be wary of these. Furthermore, person-to-person communication by two users connected to the same server, outside of any group channel, is possible.
- The Libertarian Party of West Virginia offers a live chat via IRC on their website at www.lpwv.org. It's hosted on irc.lpwv.org in channel #lpwv.
- There is also a generic, non-WV-specific channel on irc.lpwv.org which is #libertarian. In addition to those, it also hosts the #lptools channel which is used for the discussion of the LP Tools software package.
- EFnet has an active #libertarian channel.
Running your own libertarian IRC channel
If you're interested in running a libertarian IRC channel of your own and deploying a web-based chat feature on your libertarian site, you should contact Matt D. Harris at the LPWV on the irc.lpwv.org server in #lpwv. He can provide the necessary assistance to deploy one of your own.


Chip-Based Frequency Combs and Random Number Generators
Not long ago, CMOS-compatible platforms based on Silicon were viewed as undesirable for integrated optics since lasers could not be created from such materials. However, over the past decade silicon has emerged as an exceptional material for manipulating light and has led to realization of ultrahigh-performance photonic devices in fields from data communications to medicine. I will discuss the nonlinear photonics using silicon-based chips with only milliWatt power levels. Such capability can be used to create chip-based optical frequency combs and quantum random number generators that offer a wide range of applications in telecommunications, time and frequency metrology and photonic computing.
