Hook up av receiver
TV cable box, Blu-ray player.. Trouble is, the TV has only two settings: TV itself, and external. The receiver is a Pioneer from years back. I have a wireless crystal sound surround model HW -C with sub woofer both purchased at same time. It was working great until my satellite reciever model DSR died so I brought the identical one same model same age from another TV connecting it exactly the same. What no one can answer is why no sound on sound bar or TV but picture???
Other is why does my satellite receiver shut off on its own along with sound bar??? It never did that before. I want to use my satellite remote to get satillite signal and My TV remote only to power up the TV and use my small Samsung remote to turn on power bar. Thanks in advance for all those who want and can answe my question. However, the reason the sound bar may also shut off is possibly because the satellite remote may be connected to the sound bar through set up?
Also, the reason that the sound bar may not be providing sound is possibly related to the input settings on the sound bar?
How to Connect a Stereo System
You should reach out to the service provide of your satellite signal shaw? You could also request a home visit from Geek Squad: Home membership covers every device in your home. Can you hook the receiver to a bluetooth transmitter and send the signal to your Sound bar? Can I just buy any sumsung wireless subwoofer and connect it to the soundbar?
9. Don’t Overbuy on Your Interconnects
Or it has to be the same HW-jr subwoofer? Another reason for thinking in a sound bar is the wireless subwoofer. The receiver is connected to speakers in other rooms of the house. Hi I want to use my Samsung soundbar as a speaker independently of the tv through my iPad using Bluetooth? Can I do that? Without connecting it to my tv at all? Note that you will need to have the iPad within line of sight to the Bluetooth receiver, and within 30ft.
How to Connect Speakers to an AV Receiver
Ideally for best sound quality, a direct connection from the iPad to the soundbar will be the best recommendation. Hi Thanks for the information. Now I want to add the soundbar of JBL to this setup. As per your suggestion can i hook the soundbar with AV Receiver via Optical cable? This will allow the TV to receive audio information, and send it back to the soundbar via the ARC Audio return Channel , You can then connect the Boston Acoustics A26 to the rear surround speaker output of the receiver.
You will need to configure the HK receiver speaker outputs appropriately, noting that the Front speaker output cannot be turned off, you can turn off the center speaker output, since the soundbar will be connectedand will operate as a stereo unit for Front Left and Right. This setup will not provide proper surround sound, because the receiver does not have dedicated pre-amp audio output, such as the Denon AVR-X http: Thank you so much Elliot,sorry for the delay to answer.
My Requirement is Simple.
You'll be enjoying cinematic sound in no time
So my question is how the Connections will be like. Please help me out as I am on verge of Tearing my hairs out. What I see is you can operate them seperatly with Receiver connected to TV using Optical and Soundbar using ARC or vice versa which defeats the purpose of using the two simultaneously.
I upgrade the , and want to put the avr in the garage. Please help me out in getting this sorted as connecting them separately will defeat the purpose.
If your analysis the same for 5. Would running the signal through a receiver chop off the surround content? Do you need a special receiver? Is there enough connections? Are there passive soundbars for surround? Receive news updates via email from this site.

Please enter your comment! On both the cable box and the TV, you should use the audio ports grouped with the video ports you have already used. The audio plugs should be colored red and white, and the colors correspond to the audio connectors. Plug the cord into your TV. If you use a component connection, there will be five plugs.
If you use a coaxial cable, plug and screw the cord into the correct circular port. Identify the proper audio connections. You will use the audio output on your TV and the audio input on your AV receiver, and the input and outputs should look identical. Common types include RCA also called "composite" and digital optical. There will probably be several similar or identical input options for the receiver; you can use any of them, though the simplest choice is the one labeled for use with a TV.
Plug in the audio cord to the AV receiver input and the TV output. You can plug in either end of the cord s in any order. You should do this with the devices turned off. Turn on the AV receiver and select the correct audio input using the buttons or the receiver's remote. The correct input should match the label by the input into which you plugged the cords, probably "TV. Turn off the TV speakers using the TV's menu system. This is optional, but many people prefer to use the AV speakers alone.

It is not uncommon to see people of all ages walking along the street humming, perhaps dancing a little, or talking to this air. While some of them may be in need of psychiatric help, the overwhelming majority of them are listening to music through headphones.
The idea of delivering auditory material directly to the ears of a listener via a device over or in the ears, is not new. In fact, in the early days of sound transmission they were the only way to pick up the sound. The first headphones – or personal receivers - were made in 1910 by one Nathaniel Baldwin, who apparently made them in his kitchen and managed to market them to the Navy of the United States. Over the years the sensitivity of these receivers has increased hugely, and the Navy, among others, is able to pick up the subtlest sounds, as shown in the "The Hunt for Red October".
In many cases, the headphones are combined with a personal microphone in which case the apparatus is known as a headset. The headset is normally attached by wires to the audio source. It is used by radio operators, telephonists, call centre workers, or anyone else who spends a lot of time communicating with others at a distance.
Headphones by themselves have been used for the revolutionary Walkman and its successor, the Discman to take music out of the house, and the current mp3-style players. Sometimes earphones, in particular cordless headphones, are used with mobile phones when the hands are needed for other things. For a while this technology allowed drivers to speak on their phones in the car. In the United States, this sort of hands free device is still legal, but in the United Kingdom, the use of a mobile phone behind the wheel of a vehicle, even a stopped one, carries a heavy fine.
Headphones are, in effect, small loudspeakers held close to the ears in one of two ways - over-ears or in-ears. The former, also known as circumaural headphones, cover the whole ear, while the latter is a disc, or possibly a cone-shape, small enough to fit into the ear, in which case they are known as earbuds. These devices are very inexpensive, but have some drawbacks: they block out very little ambient noise, which may lead the user to turn up the volume to compensate for this noise. If another person can hear the music delivered by your earbuds, the volume is way too high. This level of volume is dangerous and can lead to hearing loss. Nevertheless, for the past 20 or so years earbuds have frequently been sold with a wide variety of personal music players.
Headphones can be used in many situations where the sound being delivered can interfere with others, or where environmental noise can interfere with the communications. For example, people who are hard of hearing can use headphones to augment the sound from the television.
Headphones are used by many professionals such as disc jockeys and sound engineers who use headphones to monitor signal sources and to eliminate feedback. In studio recordings and many stage musicals singers use headphones to listen to the orchestra or backing track.


Body Corporates, landlords, tenants and owners are usually keen to deal with only 1 supplier to vet and keep the infrastructure to a minimum ensuring that the aesthetics of the complex are not disturbed or impacted in any way and that connectivity equipment remains unobtrusive.
The Fiber to Home or Complex solution is so much better as the cost of Broadband is significantly reduced with a much higher speed of connectivity. There is also little downtime, superb customer support and a quick installation turnaround time.
Upon review if a few service providers we found that you may receive:
• Installation including Wi-Fi router and cabling to the unit
• Uncapped Data
• No shaping, No fair use policy, No throttling
• Guaranteed minimum speeds
• No out of bundle charges
• Option of using our voice service and saving up to 40% on their Telkom bill
• The same infrastructure can be used for an intercom, gate services and for camera solutions
Here’s a few general Q & A’s on the services or preferred supplier can provide:
Q: How can I get fibre to my residents without building my own network?
A: You don’t have to worry about the nitty grittys of the installation. We will install the fibre network to all paying residents of the complex at no cost to the estate or the resident.
Q: Our body corp does not have a lot of money and cannot carry any additional costs?
A: All equipment to transmit, receive and cabling are provided free of charge. We will build the infrastructure at no cost to the Estate.
More so, for every resident that signs up on the network, we will provide 20% of their subscriptions back to the body corp. This is a nice alternative income generation model for the body corp.
Q: Don’t all wired broadband networks use fibre?
A: They use fibre, but not all the way to the home. Generally, the last 300 to 1000 metres from the fibre’s endpoint to the home is copper – coaxial cable in cable networks, plain copper wire in telephone networks. That limits bandwidth, reliability and versatility.
Q: Would installing fiber require that my streets be dug up?
A: Not at all. Our engineers utilise the current conduits which are already available in most complexes. If that’s not available then we run a hybrid system which is made up of Fibre and a Wireless connection.
Q: What type of speeds would we experience with FTTH?
A: Our packages start from 5mbps and goes up to 100mbps.

Since the invention of integrated circuit, it has gone through several decades. In these years, advanced semiconductor processes have developed rapidly according to Moore's law. Today, with the slowdown of Moore's law, the integrated circuit industry is entering the era of post Moore's law. To continue Moore's law, it is one of the methods to solve the bottleneck of back-end "packaging" technology.
In recent years, the development focus of some large wafer manufacturers is shifting from the pursuit of more advanced nano process to the innovation of packaging technology. Such as Samsung, TSMC, Intel and other chip manufacturers have stepped into the field of packaging, 3D packaging technology undoubtedly began to become an important battlefield for giants.
Why 3D packaging?
Packaging technology came into being with the invention of integrated circuit. Its main functions are to complete power distribution, signal distribution, heat dissipation and protection. With the development of chip technology, packaging technology is also in constant innovation.
Previously, the chips were all carried out at the 2D level, and the industry research focused on how to increase the number of components per unit area and improve the micro precision. After that, many large factories began to expand their thinking, and applied a stem from Liu Cixin's science fiction piece "three bodies", 3D chips launched a "dimension reduction attack" on traditional 2D chips.
It is also known as the bottleneck of 3D packaging technology, which is beyond the bottleneck of 3D packaging technology.
Compared with traditional packaging, 3D technology can reduce the size and weight by 40-50 times; in terms of speed, 3D technology can save power to make 3D components operate at faster conversion speed per second without increasing energy consumption, reduce parasitic capacitance and inductance, and at the same time, 3D packaging can make more effective use of the effective area of silicon chip. This kind of package has more advantages in integration, performance and power consumption, and has higher design freedom and shorter development time.
It is one of the most promising packaging technologies.
In view of these advantages, the application of advanced packaging technology seems inevitable. According to Myers consulting quoting yole's prediction, the advanced packaging market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 8% from 2019 to 2024, and the market size will reach US $44 billion by 2024; meanwhile, the compound annual growth rate of traditional packaging market is expected to be only 2.4%. With the increasing demand for artificial intelligence (AI), the demand for semiconductors will increase significantly.
Of course, demand for 3D technology depends on a number of factors, including the booming market for smartphones, tablets, wearable devices and other related consumer goods, and the ecosystem of multiple semiconductor companies (not just a few big ones) committed to upgrading to newer packaging technologies.
At present, there are still uncertainties about 3D Packaging Technology in the market. For example, when and how to adopt these new packaging configurations, and who will dominate the market? All companies in the semiconductor industry (e.g., memory suppliers, logic manufacturers, foundry and packaging subcontractors) must explore strategic alliances and partnerships to ensure the development of viable advanced packaging ecosystems.
For IC manufacturers, foundry and other companies, it is also possible to win over competitors in terms of pricing and quantity. As a result, semiconductor enterprises are faced with crucial decisions in advanced packaging. Whether their goal is to become a pioneer or a fast follower determines the complexity of these choices.
Through the performance of the three major foundry companies in advanced packaging, we may be able to understand one or two.
TSMC's leading position
When it comes to the packaging layout of the wafer plant, TSMC has successively launched 2.5D high-end packaging technology cowos (chip on wafer on substrate) and economical fan-out wafer (integrated fan out) ）All of them are very successful. It can be said that from Samsung's share of Apple orders to exclusive Apple orders, Samsung's packaging technology leads its competitors and pushes its industrial position to another peak.
As early as 10 years ago, TSMC has seen that with the rapid miniaturization of semiconductor front-end process, the latter stage packaging technology will not keep up with the pace of the former stage process, and TSMC's forward sprint will be delayed. At that time, Moore's law will really fail, so it resolutely decided to invest in packaging technology, and set up the integrated Department of wire and packaging technology at the end of 2008 Interconnect and Package Development Division, IIPD )。
In April 2018, TSMC announced its innovative system integrated single chip (SOIC) multi chip 3D stacking technology for the first time at the 24th Annual Technology Seminar in Santa Clara, California, USA. According to TSMC's explanation at the meeting, SOIC is an innovative multi chip stacking technology and a wafer to wafer bonding technology. SOIC is a new generation of innovative packaging technology based on TSMC's chip on wafer on substrate and multi wafer stacking (wow) packaging technology, which enables TSMC to directly produce 3D IC for customers.
Schematic diagram of TSMC SOIC design architecture.(source:vlsisymposium.org , drawn by CTimes)
At the same time, the wow technology, namely wafer on wafer (wow), is also on display. Just like 3D NAND flash memory multi-layer stacking, the two layers of die are stacked vertically in mirror mode, which is expected to be used to produce GPU for graphics cards and GPU with larger transistor scale.
TSMC said the two packaging technologies will play an important role in the company's advanced packaging layout. In April 19, TSMC announced the completion of the world's first 3D IC package, which is expected to be mass produced in 2021.
In April this year, TSMC announced that the packaging technology was upgraded again. Aiming at the wlsi platform built by advanced packaging technology, tsmc-soic has developed innovative system integrated chip (tsmc-soic) through continuous upgrading of wire interconnection spacing density and system size. In addition to continuing and integrating the existing integrated fanout (info) and on-board chip on wafer (cowos) technologies It provides an opportunity to continue Moore's law, and makes a significant breakthrough in system single chip (SOC) performance.
Tsmc-soic advanced wafer level packaging technology based on 3D IC can integrate multiple small chips into a smaller and thinner SOC. Through this technology, advanced SOC of 7 nm, 5 nm and even 3 nm can be integrated with multi-level and multi-functional chips, and heterogeneous 3D with high speed, high bandwidth, low power consumption, high spacing density and minimum space occupation can be realized IC products.
At present, TSMC has completed tsmc-soic Process Certification, developed micron level bonding pitch process, and obtained extremely high electrical yield and reliability data, which shows that TSMC is ready to produce tsmc-soic for any potential customers.
Recently, Yang Ruilin, research director of the International Institute of Obstetrics, ITRI, pointed out that TSMC has been working in the field of advanced packaging for a long time, so TSMC will be ahead of its competitors in the field of advanced packaging. Foreign investors also expect that advanced packaging will be the key to TSMC building a higher technology and cost threshold and widening the gap with its competitors.
At the same time, Intel has also found a new way out in packaging due to the frequent difficulties of 10nm. In December 2018, Intel demonstrated a new 3D packaging technology called "foveros", which is another leap in advanced packaging technology after Intel launched the breakthrough embedded multi chip interconnection bridge (emib) packaging technology in 2018.
According to reports, this technology is the first time Intel has introduced the advantage of 3D stacking, which can realize the stacking of logic chips on logic chips. Foveros paves the way for integrating devices and systems with high performance, high density and low power consumption. According to Intel, foveros can integrate chips with different processes, structures and uses, so that more computing circuits can be assembled on a single chip to achieve high performance, high density and low power consumption. The "I / O" module of Intel / O can be decomposed into "a variety of chips" and "I / O" modules can be mixed into "new product configurations".
It is reported that Intel will launch a series of products using foveros technology from the second half of 2019. The first foveros product will integrate a high-performance 10 nm computing stack "chipset" and a low-power 22ffl base chip. It will achieve world-class performance and power efficiency in a compact product form.
Recently, in its 2020 architecture day, Intel demonstrated its new progress in the field of 3D packaging technology, which Intel called "hybrid binding" technology.
According to Intel's official data, most of today's packaging technologies use the traditional "thermal compression bonding" technology, and hybrid combination is a substitute for this technology. This new technology can accelerate the realization of bump spacing of 10 μ m and below, providing higher interconnection density, bandwidth and lower power.
It has been revealed that test chips using "hybrid bonding" technology have been released in the second quarter of 2020.
In fact, before that, Intel has also tried on 2.5D, which is their emib.
The full name of emib is "embedded multi die interconnect bridge". Because there is no additional silicon intermediate layer, only a silicon bridge is added at the junction of the two bare chip edges, and the I / O pins of the bare chip edge are re customized to meet the bridging standard.
In fanout packaging, Intel is actually a pioneer. In 2009, they launched the ewlb technology and commercial mass production of wafer level fan out packaging. However, the fan-out wafer level package is limited to a narrow application range and is only used for single chip packaging of mobile phone baseband chip. Until 2014, fanout wafer level packaging faced fierce competition from other packaging technologies, which made Intel Mobile give up the technology. So far, Intel has no action on fanout packaging.
Samsung follows suit
As an old rival of TSMC, Samsung is naturally not willing to be outdone in advanced packaging. For 2.5D package, Samsung has launched the i-cube package process that can compete with TSMC cowos packaging process. At the Samsung wafer foundry forum Japan meeting in 2018, Samsung announced its roadmap in the field of packaging and testing. For 2.5d/3d packaging, Samsung has been able to provide i-cube 2.5D package.
Korean media pointed out that there is no big gap between Samsung and TSMC in terms of technology, while TSMC still has an advantage in packaging technology, but this advantage may be flattened.
Recently, Samsung announced that its new chip packaging technology, x-cube3d, can be put into use. Samsung claims that the technology can make the packaged chip have more powerful performance and higher energy efficiency ratio.
Different from the previous parallel packaging of multiple chips, the new x-cube3d package allows multiple chips to be stacked and packaged, making the structure of the finished chip more compact. The communication between chips uses TSV technology instead of traditional wires. According to Samsung, the technology has been able to stack SRAM memory chips on top of the main chip to make more space for stacking other components. At present, the technology can be used in the product line of 7Nm or 5nm process, which means it is close to large-scale production.
Samsung said TSV technology can significantly reduce the signal path between chips, reduce power consumption and improve the transmission rate. The technology will be applied to the cutting-edge fields of 5g, AI, AR, HPC, mobile chips and VR, which are also places where advanced packaging technology is most needed. As for the development route of chips, Samsung is in line with the major chip manufacturers. It will skip the 4nm process and directly 3nm as the research and development target of the next generation products.
It is understood that the technology will be mainly used in the cutting-edge 5g, AI, AR, HPC, mobile chip and other fields. There is no doubt that the success of Samsung's research and development will certainly enable more users to use 3D packaged chip products, so that more users can enjoy the dividends brought by technological progress.
So far, the three major semiconductor chip manufacturers in the world have 3D or 2.5D packaging technology. The proposal of 3D packaging technology shows that these manufacturers have the same goal by different ways. They are gradually stepping into the same direction of chip development in the future. They are no longer confined to the traditional framework, and pursue more flexible design of different products with stronger performance, richer functions, lower power consumption and more flexible uses.
2019 may be the first year of 3D packaging technology. In that year, both Intel and TSMC have come up with their best weapons to their dominance. By 2020, the war seems to have escalated, and Samsung's participation has added a fire to the war. This year, the three manufacturers are highly concerned about 3D packaging technology, and people in the industry are waiting to see the show of "Top competition".


Secure access methods
While some Axis access control intercoms serve basic access needs, other models lack the features of an advanced access control reader. Access can be granted through an IP phone and a Video Management System, and a remote entry option is available. Other methods include key cards, and for visitors, access can be granted by entering PIN codes to a keypad.
While these are commonly used access methods, they may not be the most secure. For instance, PIN numbers can be shared with multiple visitors and unauthorized users. The key card option is adequate, but is not as convenient as mobile credentials, which are only available in some Axis intercoms. The Axis I8016-LVE intercom does not have built-in reader support, so access can only be granted remotely.Installing a separate reader is required to allow access to users with credentials.Plus, the lack of a touchless entry feature adds to the inconvenience of the system.
The Openpath Video Intercom Reader Pro offers a wide range of access options with advanced features that make access control secure and frictionless. Unlike Axis, Openpath supports mobile capabilities, allowing users to open doors from a range of mobile devices through an app. The patented Triple Unlock technology ensures a fast unlock with 99.9% reliability using simultaneous Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular signals. This mechanism grants users access at all times, even when one connection is down.
Temporary entry access to visitors or service providers can be granted through convenient email, text message, or messaging apps like Slack. Accessible directly from a smartphone browser, temporary Guest Passes are customizable and permit one or more entries within a limited time, with all access activity tracked and recorded in real-time.
Users are able to take advantage of the convenient Wave to Unlock, a feature that allows users to open doors with a quick movement of the hand or phone. With the touchless technology, visitors are also able to request access quickly, without having to scroll through an overwhelming directory to find the tenant they are looking for. Plus, visitors can request access without entering personal information into a public device. Like Axis intercoms, the remote unlock feature is also available in Openpath’s system, allowing tenants to unlock the door for guests from their mobile phone or the Openpath Control Center.
For users who prefer physical keys, high- and low-frequency key cards are available. Unlike Axis intercoms, Openpath supports MIFARE DESFire EV3 cards, the most advanced encryption technology on the market. The intercom reader is also backward compatible with legacy access control systems.


XoundStar Portable Bluetooth Speaker Review Demo
First impressions were it's tiny speaker, and will the sound be good. I am coming from the age of huge floor speakers, boom boxes, etc. It's portable so how can it sound like a theater room.
This speaker Is more great than I thought.
I used it in different ways to test the claims. Some were not good but great where needed.
The smartphone test was best sound. By fact I could putting the speaker in middle of my apartment on 50 percent volume. Then able to hear while walking around the house. Another great feature is can be used for hands free calls. Love this so I can work and talk.
The computer test experience was very similar to the smartphone. I find it good for watching movies or wwe on laptop.
The t.v. test was horrible just too low volume...

If you are like most of the general population, you no longer have a home phone line and if you do, it doesn't get used nearly as often as your cell phone. Let's face it, this world is comprised of several new high tech gadgets to keep us connected. I wanted to take a minute to introduce you to a new gadget that will change your life or at least the way you look at home phone service, and it has been around for some time.
It's called OBi and it is a phone adapter that allows you to make and receive phone calls using your high speed internet connection. You simply plug in your internet connection, phone and set up your VoIP service provider like Google Voice or Callcentric. No computer is needed to use this service, like the Original Magic Jack, which I would not recommend. I had Magic Jack for three years and besides not being able to get a local number for my area, the connection was poor, voice quality was bad and customer service was the pits. After it was time to renew my service with Magic Jack, I quickly did some research and found this amazing alternative.
I ordered my OBi110 from Amazon end of day Tuesday and I received the router on Wednesday! Talk about fast service. I was thrilled to get it set up. It took me a few minutes due to setting up Google Voice, but once I completed all of the detailed steps that comes with the adapter, I was ready to make calls. I sat on the phone all night. I enjoyed not having a delay in hearing the person on the other end or them hearing me delayed. I was crystal clear to family I was chatting with and I could hear them better than ever.
I love that I no longer have to leave my computer on to make or receive calls. Since the adapter just plugs right into the wall internet port, there is no need for me to be wasting power running an entire machine for a phone that I may or may not use. Another great advantage to using the OBi, is the fact that once you set up your Google Voice number, when the number is called it rings directly to your cell phone and the regular phone, so you never miss a call.
I also love the Google Voice Mail system, you can instantly see what the caller has left in your inbox rather than having to call a number to listen to it. You can also customize your voice mail message. And you aren't left without any features that your normal home service would package together and change you more for each month.
- Local & Long Distance Calling
- Ultra Low-Cost International Calling
- Pick a New number or Use your existing number
- Caller Id - Name and Number
- Supports Two Phone Lines
- Call Waiting
- 3-Way Conference Calling
- Free Voice Mail
The requirements for this adapter are:
- Broadband Internet Connection
- Internet router with Available Ethernet Port
- Analog or Digital Cordless or Corded Telephone
- No Emergency 911 Service Provided
So what are you waiting for, ditch the third rate home phone plan and get free internet phone from OBi. It is only a one time $50 fee for the adapter.

Information and knowledge society - household survey
43% of Portuguese households own a computer and 32% have Internet access at home
05 December 2005
In the first quarter of 2005 42.5% of Portuguese households had access to a computer and 31.5% had Internet access at home; 39.6% of individuals aged 16-74 used the computer and 32% accessed to the Internet in the same period. These are some of the results of the Survey on Information and Communication Technologies Usage in Households and by Individuals, carried out by Statistics Portugal, in cooperation with UMIC - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (Knowledge Society Agency).
This Survey assesses the ownership and use of information and communication technology among the Portuguese population.


With Daum Kakao’s acquisition of Path last month, there has been quite a bit of speculation about Indonesia, its messaging market, and the key players in a very crowded space.
Indonesians are some of the most active users of messaging and chat apps in the world, with an average of 4.2 messaging apps installed on their smartphones. Messaging apps are also a significant part of their everyday behavior. 97% of mobile users in Indonesia access messaging apps multiple times per day and 39% prefer them as their main channel of mobile communication over SMS, social networking, voice messages, and emails.
However, usage matters more than sheer installs. We looked at the top 10 messenger apps in Indonesia, based on installs and daily active users, and uncovered some interesting data that talks to why some of these apps are dominating a crowded market.
top communication apps in indonesia-01
As BlackBerry growth plummets, BBM use holds steady
All BlackBerry devices come standard with BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), its messaging and chat application, pre-installed on all devices. Historically, BlackBerry held a large chunk of the device market share in Indonesia, making BBM the ubiquitous messaging platform for Indonesians.
But as Indonesians abandon BlackBerry devices for Android, users are continuing to stick with the BBM app for Android. Indonesians are likely still using BBM due to network effects: a large number of their contacts who were once BlackBerry are continuing to use BBM as their primary messaging app, even as they migrated to other devices. Network effects, or the app prevalence amongst a user’s social contacts, is a major factor for why they choose to use one app heavily over others.
Personalization and localization matter
Second to BBM by number of installs and daily active users is LINE, which allows users to exchange chats, images, videos, audio, and Voice over IP messages. One characteristic that sets LINE apart is regional and in-country localization. “What we try to do is to localize and pay attention to detail, optimizing our services for the user’s country,” said LINE Chief Operating Officer Takeshi Idezawa. In Indonesia, LINE personalizes the popular Stickers feature of its app, featuring cartoon figures that appeal to the country’s large Muslim population. During Ramadan, characters were shown celebrating the holiday with fireworks. This sort of personalization for Indonesian users leads to personal connection to the app and make the experience more fun and unique.
Easy connection to community drives usage
WhatsApp is both a consistently downloaded and used messenger app in Indonesia, sitting at number five based on both installs and daily active users. It’s easy for users to connect to the contacts they already have loaded on their devices through WhatsApp. Any existing contact who has a WhatsApp account will automatically appear in a member’s favorites list within the app—no need to enter contacts more than once. This user-friendly feature allows WhatsApp members to stay closely connected to their networks, regardless of what their contacts’ preferred messaging apps may be. WhatsApp lets users to reach a large portion of their social network seamlessly in a single app, likely contributing to the high install and usage rates we observe.
The power of social networks
Growing your user base is a vital step to become a successful messaging app. Users trust their social networks—61% of mCent users in Indonesia report that they downloaded an app because they heard about it through a friend.
mCent leverages these network effects and makes it easy and free for members to try your app and refer your app to their friends. Contact us to learn more about how Jana can use the power of its network to drive growth and trial of your app.


Underwater Acoustics, Communication and Networking
Technology: sonar systems, acoustic imaging, geoacoustics
Applications: team operations, positioning and localization systems, intervention, marine mammals monitoring, active detection, harbor protection, performance prediction
The distribution of the tasks of a single mission among different vehicles is based on communication and autonomous cooperation capabilities.
ISME carries on an intensive research on hydroacoustic communication.
One of the most recent projects aiming at building an underwater acoustic network is Archeosub, involving ISME nodes of Firenze and Roma La Sapienza. Archeosub aims to develop products and services in support of the discovery of new Underwater Cultural Heritage (UCH) sites and of the surveying, conservation, protection, and valorization of new and existing ones. The project will use an in-situ underwater sensor network deployed at a site for real-time monitoring and surveillance.
ISME is also involved in developing underwater acoustic communication and localization devices. In the last years the development of the first low-cost acoustic modem took place by DIMES, University of Calabria, with the aim to offer an open hardware/software platform for developing underwater cost-effective control, communication and localization applications, especially well suited for universities and research centres in their first proof-of-concepts development phases.
The research is going on and it now is focused on new and more robust modulation techniques, on adding additional ranging capabilities and networking protocols. In-house hardware and software development ensure a fully reconfigurable device that can be adapted to any need with easiness. Ranging capabilities enable the integration of localization and communication functionalities. Custom localization algorithms can be developed by using acoustic two-way or one-way protocols. One-way ranging is carried out with the integration of high precision synchronization (atomic) clocks.
In the Sunrise - Nemo project it was also demonstrated the applicability of acoustic communication and networking underwater technologies for water quality monitoring and the automation of underwater fish farms.


Satellite communications company Myriota is investing $1.36 million in new innovation lab to bring it’s low-cost, long-life Internet of Things (IoT) technology to market.
Myriota, which was founded in 2015 at the University of South Australia, has developed an Internet of Things (IoT) system to provide a low cost and long battery-life solution. The company is investing $1.36 million in an IoT lab in Adelaide, which will be matched by funding from the South Australian Government’s Future Jobs Fund.
Its system has already been deployed in field trials, with the investment to be used to take the next step in development by integrating it with a range of products and services.
“With the funding that we had at the time from the Australian Space Research program within the university, we set about solving those challenges and developing the technology with a pre-meditated commercialisation approach,” says David Haley, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of Myriota.
The company’s technology involves tiny low-cost satellite transmitters that send low-powered messages to a constellation of nano satellites. This enables a large number of devices to directly communicate via the satellites.
The technology has a number of applications across agriculture, utilities, asset tracking and logistics, defence and maritime, and can be deployed in remote locations.
“At the moment, those applications are very limited in their coverage. In a country like Australia, where we only have around 30 per cent of cellular coverage, many of these applications aren’t being served at all,” Haley says.
“The reason for that is the existing satellite services that might be able to reach those areas are too expensive and too power-hungry.”
A challenge for the project has been how to support massive scale access to devices at a very low power so their batteries can last for a long time. Creating a secure link also needed to be overcome, with the team developing security at every stage of connectivity. In particular, a secure over-the-air link from devices to the satellite.
The identity of the device itself is also maintained as cryptographically secure, which prevents somebody from tracking the location of the device by snooping and listening into its identity. It also stops inauthentic messages being injected into the system through an authentication mechanism to ensure that every message that is received is genuinely from one of the terminals in the system.

BORPH is an operating system designed for FPGA-based reconfigurable computers, implemented as an extension of the Linux kernel. Reconfigurable hardware, such as FPGAs, are treated as computational resources within the operating system. These resources are defined as hardware regions (HWRs), which can be implemented as an entire FPGA, or partially recongurable regions within a single FPGA.
This abstraction allows the kernel to deal with the platform specific details and removes the need for the application designer to address these low level implementation details. Through a UNIX process model, BORPH provides a unified hardware/software application runtime environment. Runtime support services, such as file system access, network access, and signal handling are made available to hardware designs by the kernel.
BORPH aims to provide increased usability for reconfigurable platforms, with a focus on simplifying hardware/software co-design. An entire design, consisting in part of either hardware, software or both hardware and software components, is encapsulated in a BORPH executable (BOF) file. A unified interface to execution and communication with the application is provided by the kernel. This allows designers to focus efforts on the application specific functionality of their designs, without the need to worry about low level implementation details such as writing device drivers for communication.

A power supply is an electrical device that supplies power to an electrical load. They're designed to draw currents from an input power source like main power lines, fuel cells, and generators. Power supplies are made to convert this power and deliver the correct voltage, current, and frequency to the load. They can be standalone or built into the load they power.
Power supply units can deliver AC or DC power, convert from one signal to the other, and regulate current, voltage, and frequency. They can also provide overload protection and provide an uninterruptible source of power in the event of lost source power.
Ethernet switches are used in wired networks to connect wired devices across a network. Your home’s wifi router provides the same function as an ethernet switch but for wireless devices.
In the industrial setting, wired is preferred over wireless due to its reliability and higher speeds. Using an ethernet switch has many benefits like supporting hundreds of devices, keeping traffic from interfering, controlling access to different parts of the network, monitoring usage, and faster speeds across the internet.
State Motor has an impressive variety of Power Supplies and Ethernet Switches to fit your specific application from reliable brands like ABB, Micron, and Siemens.


Skype is a popular application that provides video chat and voice calls between computers, tablets, mobile devices, consoles, and smartwatches via the Internet.

XM Hits the Desktop
Oh, man, this is too cool…
Anyone who has worked with me knows how much I like to listen to music while I work. It helps me concentrate and block out external distractions, especially when I’m programming.
Currently this means I use streaming Internet audio to feed my music jones. That’s great, except it means I’m chewing up bandwidth all day, every day. Multiply that bandwidth times the number of employees in a company (as if I were the only one wearing headphones!), and you can see why systems administrators HATE streaming audio.
Now, though, XM Satellite Radio has an elegant, affordable alternative to streaming audio: the XM PCR. It’s a little box that plugs into your computer via a USB port and provides you with instant access to all 100+ channels of XM programming. It shows you what’s playing on every station, so you can skip around channels listening to your favorite stuff, and even set up watch lists so you’ll be notified if a favorite band starts playing on another channel. It uses absolutely no bandwidth since the music comes from a satellite, not a Web server. And — it’s only $69.95 (plus the standard XM subscription, which is $9.95/month for the first radio and $6.95/month for each radio thereafter).
I have a Sony XM unit that I can connect to base stations in my car or my stereo unit — but I’ve often wanted to have a way to listen to XM at work too. It’s hard to imagine a better solution to that desire than this!


Rural Broadband: The Lowdown on High Speed
What's the big deal with broadband?
In a world that puts more and more emphasis on being 'connected' it is vital to stay current with advancing technologies. Having access to high-speed internet is the first step to being connected. Click here for the Center's page on the importance of Rural Broadband in community development and entrepreneurship.
The internet has a wealth of information on practically every imaginable subject. With such a valuable resource available, affordable access to a fast and reliable connection is an important tool to renew rural America.
With certain options not available in remote rural areas, it is important for people to know and understand their options.
What speed means
The speeds below are advertised speeds. Due to a number of factors, advertised speeds are rarely actually reached. This data is for convenient comparisons and will help to understand the speeds given below.
Average Web Page - 400 Kilobits including images
- 256Kbps download speed - roughly 1.56 seconds to view page
- 2Mbps download speed - roughly 0.195 seconds to view page
- 8Mbps download speed - roughly 0.048 seconds to view page
Average MP3 (music) - 24 Megabits (3 megabytes)
- 256Kbps download speed - roughly 2 minutes and 8 seconds to download
- 2Mbps download speed - roughly 16 seconds to download

This type of internet uses basic telephone lines and telephone service to provide users with a connection to the internet. A user simply dials into an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the user and ISP simply transfer information back and forth through basic phone lines.
- Highly accessible
- No new infrastructure needed
- Simple and cheap - around $15 per month for the highest speed
- Very slow, maxing out at 56kbps
- Uses a standard phone line; making and receiving phone calls is impossible while connected
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
Also uses phone lines. By splitting the phone line into separate voice and data streams, the telephone company can offer greater bandwidth and not interrupt regular telephone service.
- Speeds up to 10 Mbps (200 times faster than dialup)
- Monthly cost of about $20 for lower speeds
- Single user system (considered more secure)
- Phone service and Internet bundles available
- Speed is based on proximity to telephone station
- Impossible to amplify speed [not sure what "amplify speed" means - marie]
- Unsuitable for more remote locations
Cable modems connect to the internet through existing cable lines - the same ones that supply cable television. Cable uses what are essentially television channels to transfer data. Transferring data along the existing coaxial cables gives cable much higher bandwidth than DSL or dialup.
- Highly reliable
- Speeds up to 20 Mbps
- Television and Internet bundles available
- Prices are usually around $50 and up per month
- This is a multi-user system
- Connection can lag during peak usage hours
- Only available where cable is available
This is a connection that works the same as satellite television. Data is sent from a ground base to an orbiting satellite, bounces off and is retrieved by a receiver in your home.
- Available in most remote areas
- Much faster than a dialup connection
- A variety of plans are available
- Slower speeds (768kbps to 5.0Mbps)
- Data plans limit access
- Plans range generally from $50 to $120 for limited data transfer
- Service can be altered by storms and weather
- High installation costs
This form of connection is much like a wireless router one would find in a home or business. This form of connection transmits a wireless signal over great distances to a receiver on the consumer's property.
- Accessible in more remote areas
- Speeds comparable to DSL
- No data limits
- Reliable connection
- More affordable option for remote locations
- Limits in range
- Must have line of sight to tower
- Installation costs higher than DSL or cable
This connection type is a highly mobile connection used mostly for travel and for laptops. A small receiver can be purchased to receive a 3G signal on a laptop or computer.
- Very portable
- Reliable connection when in a serviceable area
- Mobile phone and Internet bundles available
- Expensive service
- Data limits apply to plans
- Coverage is not universal
- Very expensive charges if you exceed your data limit

I recently came across some troubling news. According to a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) report released in January, 17% percent of all Americans and 53% of rural Americans do not have broadband access at what it defines as necessary speeds. (See the PDF of the full report.)
Even more startling is that 71% of Colorado’s rural areas do not have broadband access at necessary speeds. I was shocked to read this. Then I looked to see what the FCC defined as adequate speeds and the picture became even more discouraging.
The FCC defines broadband speeds of 25 Mbps for downloads and 3 Mbps for uploads as the speeds that are necessary to accommodate increasingly bandwidth-intensive demands like video, which is the dominant broadband application. In fact, video accounts for 63% of internet downloading and streaming, and streaming a video requires from 5 to 25 Mbps.
The FCC figures that a household needs more than 10 Mbps in order to participate in an online class, download files, and stream a movie at the same time, or to view two high definition videos on separate devices at the same time, or to stream one 4K (aka UltraHD) television service. However, the average American household with children has more than four people using seven Internet-connected devices on a shared, broadband network. Mathematically speaking, 25 Mbps/3 Mbps is barely adequate, and yet most rural households don’t even have access to those speeds.
Rural and urban folks alike want 25 Mbps/3 Mbps broadband service. When rural Americans have access to this service, they adopt it at the same rate as urban Americans. Yet it’s clear that the deployment of advanced telecommunications services is lagging far behind in rural areas at a time when broadband access is a crucial public utility.
I can’t buy 25 Mbps/3 Mbps in the rural community where I live. The lack of infrastructure for broadband in rural areas and the monopolies held by some internet providers keep rural communities at slower speeds.
So, how do libraries fit into this picture?
Rural libraries are the anchors in our communities. By championing the cause of affordably expanding bandwidth, we help our communities access employment and career information, certification and testing resources, online job applications, skills training, and entertainment. We get our communities online not just for the sake of promoting access to library resources, but also to establish rural communities as places of technological advancement.
There is an outstanding capacity for innovation in rural America. Folks in rural areas have demonstrated the capacity to imagine the advancements of tomorrow. Rural libraries must be able to equip our communities with the tools they need to bring their ideas from conception to fruition. At a time when access to adequate broadband in rural areas is far below the national average, libraries play an even greater role in providing this necessary infrastructure.

Overall, today’s smartphones are far more advanced than those released decades ago due to advancements in various areas–from screen sizes and processor power down to software integrations–allowing users unprecedented levels of convenience on the go without having to carry around multiple devices all at once.
Early Smartphone Innovations
The evolution of the smartphone has been rapid and revolutionary. Before the smartphone revolution, mobile phones were primarily used for calling, texting, and playing mobile games. However, the first phone to incorporate advanced features that turned it into a handheld computer was released in 1994 by IBM – the IBM Simon Personal Communicator.
The IBM Simon had many of the features that are now prevalent elements of modern smartphones, including:
- An address book with 51 entries
- Calendar and world clock/alarm functions
- A large screen
- Email Capabilities
- Games like blackjack – all powered by a 16 MHz 80C86 processor
It even featured an onscreen QWERTY keyboard, years before anything similar would become standard on most smartphones. Although this device led to advances in early 2000s feature phones, such as Nokia’s Communicator series, it didn’t significantly impact the market then. It wasn’t until 2007 that Apple released its first iPhone – one of the first commercially successful consumer-focused touchscreen smartphones which ushered in an era of pocket computing.
The Rise of the Smartphone
The rise of the smartphone has been one of the most transformative technological advancements in recent history. Initially developed as a professional device, the smartphone quickly became an increasingly popular choice for personal use. Smartphones have brought convenience and portability and enabled users to access several features and services, once only available on specialized desktop computers.
The introduction of mobile operating systems was vital to establishing smartphones as ubiquitous devices with many capabilities. In 1999, the Nokia 9210 Communicator was released, becoming one of the first smartphones to run a Linux-based operating system. This operating system allowed for advanced web browsing, document editing, and other features that were considered revolutionary at the time.
This innovation soon spread to other manufacturers who began developing their own mobile operating systems, such as Android and iOS versions from Google and Apple, designed to work with touchscreen technology on smartphones. These technologies allowed people access to an incredible range of applications from shopping to banking– all from their pocket-sized devices!
Smartphones continue to evolve even further– now offering better camera functionality, faster speeds, more memory space, longer battery life, and improved sensory capabilities like facial recognition technology and increasingly powerful Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications that are improving how we use our devices by making them conveniently more intuitive than ever before.
