Sudbury police are getting an upgrade and it's expected to make police service better outside of the city's core.
Greater Sudbury Police say a new and improved radio system will replace equipment bought in the 90s that offers better reception and better communication between the police and other emergency services.
Police Chief Frank Elsner said the rocky landscape of northern Ontario can make choosing a new radio system more complicated — and Sudbury itself is a unique challenge.
"Radio signals transmit in a straight line, so if there's a large rock formation, some of the mountain hill areas we have in the community, the communication system we have can't penetrate that," he said.
"So we have to find technology and ways to get around that system and be able to communicate."
Sudbury police’s old system was about four years past its expiry date.
"The consultants that we brought in to look at it said that we were ready for a catastrophic failure of our system at anytime," Elsner said.
"So we're just kind of holding this thing together with a little bit of barn-wire until we get this new thing up and running."
Elsner said the new $14 million radio system should be completely rolled out by the end of September, and noted the expense will be paid off over the expected 15-year life span of the equipment.
It will be a welcome change for staff sergeant Craig Moxam, who oversees the communications centre for the police and fire departments.
"The new system will provide us 95 per cent coverage of the municipality, 95 per cent of the time," he said.
"In other words, everywhere we expect a firefighter or a police officer to attend, they should be able to have coverage from their handheld portable or their mobile device in the vehicle."
‘Far better system’
Moxam said the new system will also allow for improved communication between emergency services, particularly in the case of firefighters.
"When they're in the field, all of their communications will be heard through the dispatch," he said.
$14 million price tag brings:
Brand new gear for the fire department
Upgrades to the existing infrastructure on tower sites
Cables, antennas, new portable radios in the vehicle fleet for police, fire and transit cars
Fire paging equipment for volunteer fire fighters
"Previously, they weren't. All of that information that's broadcast for both police and fires is recorded on a central logging device. So from a safety perspective, that allows us to be able to provide that level of safety for the officers and for the firefighters."
The new system also has the ability for every frontline fire fighter to have a network radio assigned to them, Moxam added.
"Only their fire captains and their fire vehicles were equipped with radios before," he said.
Moxam said the price tag for the new radio system will be split among the fire and police services, as well as the city's transit department.
"Because it's a city system now, there's the potential and capacity within that radio system to expand in future years for other users to join," he said.
Elsner said the new radios will not just improve safety for emergency workers, but they will increase public safety, too.
"If the officers can get out to a scene and call for assistance, call for ambulances, call for fire, that makes the difference," he said.
As it stands right now, officers sometimes have to use their own cell phones to call in back up when they're in parts of the city that don't get radio coverage.
While the communications centre at police headquarters is being re-built with the new technology, Moxam said the current dispatch staff will be temporarily moving to the Lionel E. Lalonde Centre in Azilda.
"It's the most ideal transition plan we could have imagined," Moxam said. "Once the system is tested and operational here, we'll move our staff back. But the old radio system will stay at the Lionel E. Lalonde Centre, so we'll always have the ability to have a fully operating back-up system elsewhere in the city.
As it stands right now, if there's an emergency, police communications has to move to the provincially-operated ambulance communications centre on Highway 69 South.
Moxam said the new temporary location will also serve as a training centre in the future for future communications staff.


The United States is banning the sale of communications equipment manufactured by Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE and is restricting the use of some Chinese made video surveillance systems, citing an “unacceptable risk” to national security.
- CBS NEWS – The five-member Federal Communications Commission said Friday it has voted unanimously to adopt new rules that will block the importation or sale of certain technology products that pose security risks to U.S. critical infrastructure.
- ABC NEWS – “The FCC is committed to protecting our national security by ensuring that untrustworthy communications equipment is not authorized for use within our borders, and we are continuing that work here,” said FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, a Democrat, in a prepared statement.
- AL-JAZEERA – “Our unanimous decision represents the first time in the FCC’s history that we have voted to prohibit the authorization of communications and electronic equipment based on national security considerations,” FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr said in a statement on Friday.
- ASSOCIATED PRESS – Huawei declined comment Friday. Along with Huawei and ZTE, the order affects products made by companies such as Hikvision and Dahua, makers of widely used video surveillance cameras.

The traditional method of storing data on the same servers that is also used to process it, has become outdated. We are in full transition to data storage "in Cloud", focusing on the security and accessibility of the data, making it as easily and as quickly as possible from any device, anywhere. With data capabilities that double each year, companies often have the option of storing data, especially critical (or personal) data, in their own Data Centers. Thus, the main concern is to centralize, consolidate and secure the data, while also providing maximum availability (as close as possible to zero downtime) and an efficient management storage.
It is the simplest storage model, being used by most - laptops, smartphones and desktop devices.
It is also called "Information Islands" because it does not allow sharing with other servers, data or unused resources.
These capacities are underutilized or offer limited capacities that elapse in an accelerated manner.
SCSI and SATA are examples of DAS protocols.
The SAN concept is commonly assigned to read-write services (I/O Input/Output) with data blocks and not with file access services.
Introduces network flexibility so that one (or more) servers can split a shared storage equipment (by connecting with servers via SAS, FC, iSCSI) which may be made up of several equipment including external drives or tapes for archiving data.
It makes possible the use of network architectures in which multiple hosts access multiple storage devices connected to the same network.
Allows multiple computers to access the same file system from the network and synchronize their access.
The introduction of "NAS heads" has allowed easy conversion from SAN storage to NAS storage, in which a blocked storage device (SAN) administered by a server with the proper software becomes a NAS equipment, using file-based protocols, example (Linux) or SMB/CIFS – Server Message Block/Common Internet File System (Windows environments).
Rarely, NAS units limit customers to using a single protocol. NAS provides both storage and file system, unlike SAN, which only provides storage at the block level.
With time, NAS / SAN requirements began to overlap, technologies embedded in new products defining the direction of evolution and providing both file-based protocols (NAS) and block protocols (SAN) in the same system (Unified Storage).
Data storage has registered a new stage with the widespread use of FLASH (NAND) SSD technology, which will gradually replace, according to statistics until 2026, HDD technologies, overcome both performance (IOPS) and capacity and reliability, cost increasing to the level of spinning discs costs (at that time).
BRINEL comes to meet customers with efficient storage solutions, incorporating technologies from world leaders in technology information:
The equipment can be used in a unitary or specific manner, with the flexibility to use various types of Media (HDDs, SSDs, Flash, Hybrid, All Flash) incorporating Enterprise technologies (internal or external virtualization capabilities) for existing equipment, synchronous or asynchronous remote replication, data compression and encryption, and vertical scalability.
BRINEL is also Authorized Service Provider (ASP), providing installation and maintenance services for storage and back-up infrastructure.
As a Solution Provider, we can offer consultancy, design and collocation services, disaster recovery, to the implementation, migration and optimization of virtualized storage architectures from the Data Center.


THE IMPORTANCE OF BUSINESS TELEPHONE SYSTEMS
Choose correctly and you’ll reap the benefits of efficiency, choose incorrectly and you may lose that important customer. Business telephone systems play a very important role in the success of your company. Bear in mind that a very effective business phone system is a crucial investment every company must consider. Endless voicemail and misleading call routes will lead your callers to hang up. You not only lose the chance of taking a call from your valued customers, you also will lose one-time if not lifetime revenue from that customer. A dysfunctional phone system can cost you more than you think. Hiring a professional company to help you with your communication and phone system dilemma is your best option.
Telephone systems have become part of the lifeblood of every business, whether large or small. To survive in today’s fast-paced business world, it would be very difficult for any business to operate unless it adopts the latest innovations of the communication technology. An effective business telephone system simplifies proper communication among the staff of a company as well as with its customers, which is undertaken in a highly professional way.
Business telephone systems are generally more complicated and have more features than the phones used for personal communication, even though both of these systems may look the same. Business phone systems give much higher performance and are more reliable communication devices where operation is concerned. Perhaps one of the best aspects of a professional business phone system is the ability to adapt these systems from business to business, thus addressing the specific needs of an organization. Telephone systems are available in different sizes catering to the needs of whether large or small enterprise. There are consultants available to assess the exact needs of an organization as far as its communication needs are concerned.
Recent business telephone systems have many advanced features that enable the business to improve its operational efficiency. For instance, the facility of call forwarding enables any organization to manage all customer calls that come daily as well as attending each of these calls more effectively. And with the advent of VOIP systems and Internet based systems many organizations enjoy free long distance and features such as voice recording and integrated caller ID.
There is a wide variety of business telephone systems available, it’s highly important that a needs assessment is performed by a professional to aide you in selecting the perfect phone system and features. Many features may be overkill for your organization and you will also want to investigate the scalability of a system as your business grows. Ultimately, the choice of the perfect business phone system is determined by your business model and number of phone lines and features needed.

To successfully broadcast the results of the 2023 elections, the nation’s telecommunications service providers have vowed to back the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, urging anyone who doubts their ability to do so to abandon their wager.
Barely a few weeks before the election, there have been worries over INEC’s plans to transmit results electronically, particularly in rural communities and areas with poor signals.
However, the operators, acting through their governing organisation, the Association of Licensed Telecom Operators in Nigeria (ALTON), have calmed the situation and stated there is no need for concern.
Engr. Gbenga Adebayo, the association’s chairman, revealed in an exclusive interview with Hi-Tech that his members collaborated closely with INEC to secure the successful transmission of election results from crucial areas.
He said: ‘Yes, we have an understanding with INEC on the transmission of results. However, that is as far as carrying the signals. The content and its fidelity are for the INEC to determine. We know we have enough resources to transmit signals from every part of the country, irrespective of how remote. So, there is no reason to doubt the success of the exercise based on that. We have even done that with INEC and achieved perfect results.
Recall that the electoral umpire had assured Nigerians that its innovative solutions, including the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, BVAS, and INEC Results Viewing, iRev, will be game changers during the 2023 general elections.
The INEC Chair, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, said: “Well, we appreciate the concerns about how transmission will be done in blind spot areas, but we are proactive
“So, we are in touch with NCC, the regulator of the telecoms industry in Nigeria, and we have already identified the blind spots.
“We are going to meet with the NCC and the Chief Executives of the four major telecommunications companies to discuss this issue of access to connectivity further and find a way of dealing with the situation. We are working with the mobile network operators MTN, GLO, Airtel and 9mobile. We have identified the blind spots, and we have also found a solution to transmit from whichever part of the country.
“This is not the first time we are transmitting results from the polling units. We started this in 2020, and since then, we have conducted elections for 105 constituents and have transmitted from all parts of the country.
“We have transmitted from rural Bornu, Ondo, Ilaje, and even in Ijaw areas, the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and we have had no issues in the transmission of these results”, he added.


Taipei, April 14, 2020 — iMotion Group today announced a strategic partnership with THLight, a leader in indoor positioning technology, to launch a contact history tracking solution that enterprises can use to mitigate the coronavirus threat. This solution uses two-way communication Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons integrated with an exclusive sensor technology, allowing business owners to obtain a detailed contact history analysis of each employee in the workplace. This information gives enterprises the ability to respond quicker and more efficiently if any confirmed cases occur in the workplace, helping minimize the potential negative effects or losses.
This contact history tracking solution can be quickly adopted in a low-cost and efficient leasing way by simply adding a BLE beacon to each employee or visitor’s work badge. Using QR codes to pair each beacon and every employee’s information, business owners can quickly get a comprehensive analysis report of a specific employee’s contact history within the high risk distance of 1.5 meters and if they spent over 5 minutes in the targeted area over the past 14 days.
There are two options for business owners to deploy this contact history tracking solution. The first option only requires the employees to wear BLE beacons on their work badges. Business owners can then output the employee’s complete contact history and filter the safe list when one has been confirmed to have COVID-19. The second option is to integrate the Bluetooth receivers to allow business owners to conduct queries of contact histories and receive reports from the backend system at anytime and anywhere. In addition, the BLE beacons can be put in or near frequently used meeting rooms, facilities or equipment, for easy identification of areas that need to be disinfected to reduce transmitting the virus. Using the second option can also prevent losing contact history data in the event the BLE beacons are damaged or lost.
In the future, this solution can be further adapted with the positioning system for different applications such as tracking employee absences or managing inventory based on the company’s specific requirements.

SpaceX has launched its first batch of Starlink satellites designed to connect directly to unmodified smartphones.
The launch of 2024’s first Starlink satellites comes after SpaceX was granted a temporary experimental license to start testing the capability of the satellites in the US.
Six of the 21 satellites that launched on a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, carry a payload that the company said could provide connectivity for most 4G LTE devices when in range.
During an event featuring SpaceX founder Elon Musk and T-Mobile CEO and President Mike Sievert last year, Musk called the new addition “a massive game changer that would help eliminate dead zones across the globe.”
What makes Starlink different to other wireless connectivity services?
While it has revolutionised how we communicate, wireless technology has its limitations, and even highly developed nations have areas where signal quality is poor or non-existent, an area known as a signal dead zone.
The issue can be particularly acute in remote areas or those with tricky terrain where geography can make transmitting a signal difficult.
Starlink satellite hopes to offer high-speed internet service to anywhere in the world and has already used its satellites to connect citizens in war-torn Ukraine.
Deploying the satellites
In November, SpaceX told the Federal Communications Commission that it expected to deploy 840 direct-to-cell Starlink satellites over the following six months.
Its first direct-to-cell launch was originally slated for mid-December but was delayed to become SpaceX’s first mission in 2024 and 296th overall.
This was also the first flight for the booster on the Falcon 9 mission, which landed shortly after lift-off on a drone ship in the Pacific Ocean for reuse.
The Falcon 9 rocket supporting the Starlink satellite launch features a first-stage booster, tail number B1082, which will launch for the first time on this mission.
How will Starlink satellites enable texting in space?
The Starlink satellites could enable texting from space this year in partnership with cellular operators, with voice and data connectivity coming in 2025. However, the company still needs regulatory permission to provide the services commercially.
During the launch webcast, Kate Tice, SpaceX’s senior manager for quality systems engineering, said: “The first six ‘direct-to-cell’ satellites would be brighter than the 15 Starlink V2 Mini broadband satellites joining the mission without the hardware to connect to smartphones.”
She added: “We plan to work with astronomers to review the impact on their observations before making hardware adjustments to ensure its direct-to-cell spacecraft are as dim as possible, Tice added.


Text messaging is the most efficient way to stay connected with customers in today’s digital world. Businesses of all sizes are using text messages to reach out to their customers and build relationships, increase customer engagement, and generate more sales.
Whether you’re new to business text messaging or just need a refresher on the basics, this guide will provide you with everything you need to know about how businesses use text messaging for marketing and communication.
In this article, we aim to answer some of the most important frequently asked questions about business texting, SMS marketing tools, SMS messages, and more.
How does business text messaging work?
Business text messaging is the use of SMS (Short Message Service) technology to communicate with customers. It’s a powerful tool that can help you keep in touch with your customers, send reminders, announce sales and special offers, collect feedback, and more.
With business texting, you can create automated text messages using keywords or triggers so customers receive messages relevant to their interests or needs.
For example, you can set up a keyword that customers can text to opt-in to your message list, receive automated notifications when items they’re interested in go on sale, get reminders when it’s time for an appointment, or even send personalized messages thanking them for their loyalty.
How do I set up business texting?
The first step is to create an account with an SMS provider company. A few solutions, such as Twilio, Vonage and Plivo, can be used by any type of business to send SMS to costumers. Their downside, however, is that they require some degree of knowledge of coding.
Other options are solutions built with small service businesses in mind. Appointible, is one such tool that works as an all-in-one online software, where you can automatically book clients and send SMS reminders, text message notifications and engage in two-way texting. Other tools worth mentioning are Treatwell, Booksy and Timely.
Once you have your account set up, you’ll be able to create automated messages using keywords or triggers and customize them with personalized content.
You’ll also need to determine the best times to send your messages and decide how often you want to communicate with customers via text.
Can I legally text message, my customers?
Yes, you can legally text message your customers with an official messaging service for business. However, it’s important to follow the legal guidelines put in place by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
The TCPA protects consumers from receiving unwanted telemarketing and advertising messages and requires that businesses obtain prior express written consent from customers before they can send promotional messages.
The TCPA also requires business texting to provide an opt-out mechanism, so customers have the option of opting out of future text messages at any time. Additionally, customers must be made aware of their rights to opt out and that they will not be charged for opting out.
What is a business text?
A business text is a message sent to customers via SMS technology. Business texts can be used for a variety of purposes, such as providing reminders, announcing sales and special offers, collecting feedback, and more.
Business text marketing campaigns are also used to increase customer engagement and generate sales.
Due to its short nature – SMS can only be 160 characters long – SMS campaigns should always be written in a tone that’s easy to understand and concise enough so the customer can quickly comprehend the message and understand how to take advantage of any offers or promotions you’re running.
How do I create a business text?
First, you need a business texting service that allows you to send out automated messages using keywords or triggers. Once you have the right business texting service, you can create a message and customize it for your specific needs.
When writing your message, it’s important to keep it short and sweet – use as few words as possible so customers can quickly understand your message.

Many businesses are moving to VoIP telephone systems. These systems offer much more than traditional phone systems, including text messaging, video conferencing, and other communication features.
VoIP provides a range of features that make business communication more reliable and efficient. For example, it can provide transcribed voicemails that employees can read and integrate with critical business tools such as CRM and customer management systems. This increases worker productivity and makes tracking customer journey steps and sales data easier.
Finding a reliable service provider that understands your needs and offers great customer support is essential. Look for a provider who offers 24/7 live chat, email, and phone support, and ask what kind of technical resources they have available. Unlike landlines, Ooma – VoIP systems require a stable internet connection. You should ensure that your provider has the plan to handle internet reliability issues, such as backup servers or SMS notifications of call failures. In addition, a good VoIP provider will monitor their networks and servers to ensure quality. They should also have redundant connections to prevent outages and ensure optimal performance.
One of the most important characteristics for businesses to look for in a business phone system is scalability. This means the system can handle an increased workload without affecting performance and functionality. It also eliminates the need for businesses to install or purchase new hardware when their business expands.
To assess a VoIP provider’s scalability, consider the features they offer. Most providers have a range of features that can help your business. For example, they may include auto-attendants, call recording, and conferencing. Some have additional services, such as CRM integrations and call analytics. Additionally, you should check a VoIP provider’s network quality and availability. They should have multiple data centers and redundant systems to ensure reliable service. Also, they should be able to detect and fix network problems to minimize downtime quickly.
A business can save a lot of money by switching to VoIP. Its monthly costs are much lower than landlines. However, there are some upfront costs to consider. For example, you will need a high-speed internet connection and VoIP-compatible equipment. The cost of these items will vary depending on the provider and subscription plan. Additionally, you will need to pay for international calling and toll-free services.
Another cost to consider is a one-time fee for porting over phone numbers. You must also budget for the number of outside call paths your business requires. This is usually determined by analyzing your existing carrier statements and determining how many toll-free and international calls are made.
When you implement VoIP, it’s important to ensure that your network can handle the traffic. You can run a bandwidth test to determine whether your existing network is ready or might want to consider upgrading it. It’s also a good idea to work out a scalability timeline so you can plan accordingly. In addition to calling features, VoIP offers a variety of other benefits that will increase efficiency and productivity for your business. For example, simultaneous ringing allows you to synchronize your contacts across multiple systems and platforms. This improves customer service by ensuring employees can access the most recent data.
It’s also important to consider the security features of a VoIP solution. The best providers will have robust security measures to protect your data from cyber-attacks. These include encryption, identity management, and automated updates.

WHAT IS THE HTTPS?
HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is a way to secure your website and protect “the integrity and confidentiality of your users’ data” (Google).
As far back as August 2014, Google has announced that the modification of the security certificate of its website on HTTPS / SSL (also known as “HTTP over TLS”, Transport Layer Security) would be used as a classification signal, even if weak. At the time, Google foresaw that switching from HTTP to HTTPS would have had a positive impact on less than 1% of global queries.
HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is an Internet communication protocol that protects the integrity and privacy of data exchanged between computers and sites. Users expect that the use of an online website is safe and private. We therefore invite you to adopt the HTTPS protocol to protect the connection of users to your website, regardless of the contents of the site.
Data sent via HTTPS are protected using the Transport Layer Security protocol ( TLS ), which provides three levels of fundamental protection:
1. Encryption. The data exchanged are encrypted to protect them from interception. This means that, while the user visits a website, no one can “listen” to his conversations, keep track of the activities carried out on several pages or steal his information.
2. Data integrity. The data can not be modified or damaged during the transfer, intentionally or not, without being detected.
3. Authentication. Demonstrate that users communicate with the intended website. It protects against attacks man-in-the-middle and instills confidence in users, which translates into other commercial advantages.
For any other technical information on this subject, please refer to the following reference links:

A domain name represents a physical point on the Internet — an IP address. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) governs coordination of the links between IP addresses and domain names across the Internet. With this standardized coordination, you can find websites on the Internet by entering domain names instead of IP addresses into your Web browser.
In layman’s terms, you can type 184.108.40.206 (IP address of the host) into your browser to search the Internet or you can type in Google.com. Google.com is a domain name that points to the physical location or point on the Internet. In this case, 220.127.116.11.


Car audio has come a long way since the first AM radios were installed in cars in the 1930s. Today, car audio systems are more advanced than ever, with features like Bluetooth connectivity, surround sound, and high-end speakers. Here’s a brief look at the evolution of car audio:
1930s-1950s: AM Radios
The first car radios were introduced in the 1930s, and they were simple AM radios that were prone to interference and had poor sound quality. They were also expensive, which made them a luxury item for most people. By the 1950s, car radios had become more affordable and more common, but they still had limited functionality and poor sound quality.
1960s-1970s: FM Radios and 8-Track Tapes
In the 1960s, car radios began to feature FM radio, which provided better sound quality than AM radio. In addition, 8-track tape players were introduced, which allowed drivers to listen to their favorite music while on the road. However, 8-track tapes were bulky and often unreliable, which made them unpopular with some drivers.
1980s-1990s: Cassette Tapes and CD Players
In the 1980s, cassette tape players replaced 8-track tape players, and they became the standard for car audio. Cassette tapes were smaller and more reliable than 8-track tapes, and they allowed drivers to create their own custom playlists. In the 1990s, CD players were introduced, which provided even better sound quality than cassette tapes. However, CD players were more expensive than cassette tape players, which made them a luxury item for many drivers.
2000s-2010s: MP3 Players and Digital Audio
In the 2000s, MP3 players like the iPod were introduced, which allowed drivers to store thousands of songs on a single device. In addition, digital audio files like MP3 and AAC became more popular, which provided even better sound quality than CD players. Car audio systems also began to feature Bluetooth connectivity, which allowed drivers to stream music wirelessly from their smartphones and other devices.
Today: High-End Sound Systems
Today, car audio systems have reached a new level of sophistication. High-end sound systems like those from Bose, Harman Kardon, and Bang & Olufsen are now available in many cars, providing crystal-clear sound quality and immersive surround sound. Some cars even feature advanced sound processing technologies like active noise cancellation, which reduces road noise and improves sound quality even further.
Car audio has come a long way since the first AM radios were installed in cars. Today, drivers can enjoy high-quality sound in their cars thanks to advanced technologies like Bluetooth connectivity and high-end sound systems.


Blog: Advanced connectivity platforms facilitate productivity and co-creation
The Technology CEO Council has identified the great potential for productivity growth in a physical economy enabled by digitalization. In this post, we highlight the role of connectivity in facilitating efficiency. A combination of connectivity and computing provides a basis for innovation and co-creation between stakeholders.
An evolution towards Industry 4.0 is underway in the manufacturing industry, spearheaded by highly automated car manufacturers. Internet of Things (IoT) use cases can be implemented in production environments with fixed lines, but wireless connectivity is required to take full advantage of digital transformation. Advanced private networks built on LTE and 5G provide flexibility through reconfigurable production lines and unifying use cases onto a single managed multi-service high-availability connectivity platform.
There is a great deal of interest in artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) and its potential to automate and enhance the effectiveness of processes ranging from customer interfaces to production lines. AI/ML also opens up the value network innovation potential related to sharing and enriching data and sharing ML models, to provide just a couple of examples. The edge computing capabilities of 5G are an enabler for low-latency AI/ML coupled with connectivity use cases.
The future opportunity lies in supporting strategic differentiation for manufacturers in a co-creation ecosystem that consists of customers, core business suppliers, communication system providers (CSPs), public cloud providers, and ICT vendors. Leveraging AI/ML connectivity between stakeholders and edge computing in different scenarios is key to facilitating ecosystem flexibility. Understanding the opportunities and future baseline requirements benefits form opportunities for stakeholders to pool their understanding in focused application areas.
Nokia is a proud member of the Intelligent Industry ecosystem. Intelligent Industry is an innovative ecosystem focusing on value co-creation and connecting leading Finnish equipment manufacturers and digital solutions providers to drive and realize the immense opportunities in the industrial data economy and digital transformation.

What is a Web service?
Many people and companies have debated the exact
definition of Web services. At a minimum, however, a Web
service is any piece of software that makes itself
available over the Internet and uses a standardized XML
XML is used to encode all communications to a Web
service. For example, a client invokes a Web service by
sending an XML message, then waits for a corresponding
XML response. Because all communication is in XML, Web
services are not tied to any one operating system or
programming language--Java can talk with Perl; Windows
applications can talk with Unix applications.
Beyond this basic definition, a Web service may also
have two additional (and desirable) properties:
First, a Web service can have a public interface,
defined in a common XML grammar. The interface describes
all the methods available to clients and specifies the
signature for each method. Currently, interface
definition is accomplished via the Web Service
Description Language (WSDL). (See FAQ number 7.)
Second, if you create a Web service, there should be
some relatively simple mechanism for you to publish this
fact. Likewise, there should be some simple mechanism
for interested parties to locate the service and locate
its public interface. The most prominent directory of
Web services is currently available via UDDI, or
Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration. (See
FAQ number 8.)
Web services currently run a wide gamut from news
syndication and stock-market data to weather reports and
package-tracking systems. For a quick look at the range
of Web services currently available, check out the
XMethods directory of Web services.
What is new about Web services?
People have been using Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) for
some time now, and they long ago discovered how to send
such calls over HTTP.
So, what is really new about Web services? The answer is
XML lies at the core of Web services, and provides a
common language for describing Remote Procedure Calls,
Web services, and Web service directories.
Prior to XML, one could share data among different
applications, but XML makes this so much easier to do.
In the same vein, one can share services and code
without Web services, but XML makes it easier to do
these as well.
By standardizing on XML, different applications can more
easily talk to one another, and this makes software a
whole lot more interesting.
I keep reading about Web services, but I have never
actually seen one. Can you show me a real Web service in
If you want a more intuitive feel for Web services, try
out the IBM Web Services Browser, available on the IBM
Alphaworks site. The browser provides a series of Web
services demonstrations. Behind the scenes, it ties
together SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI to provide a simple
plug-and-play interface for finding and invoking Web
services. For example, you can find a stock-quote
service, a traffic-report service, and a weather
service. Each service is independent, and you can stack
services like building blocks. You can, therefore,
create a single page that displays multiple
services--where the end result looks like a
stripped-down version of my.yahoo or my.excite.
What is the Web service protocol stack?
The Web service protocol stack is an evolving set of
protocols used to define, discover, and implement Web
services. The core protocol stack consists of four
Service Transport: This layer is responsible for
transporting messages between applications. Currently,
this includes HTTP, SMTP, FTP, and newer protocols, such
as Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol (BEEP).
XML Messaging: This layer is responsible for encoding
messages in a common XML format so that messages can be
understood at either end. Currently, this includes XML-RPC
Service Description: This layer is responsible for
describing the public interface to a specific Web
service. Currently, service description is handled via
Service Discovery: This layer is responsible for
centralizing services into a common registry, and
providing easy publish/find functionality. Currently,
service discovery is handled via the UDDI.
Beyond the essentials of XML-RPC, SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI,
the Web service protocol stack includes a whole zoo of
newer, evolving protocols. These include WSFL (Web
Services Flow Language), SOAP-DSIG (SOAP Security
Extensions: Digital Signature), and USML (UDDI Search
Markup Language). For an overview of these protocols,
check out Pavel Kulchenko's article, Web Services
Acronyms, Demystified, on XML.com.
Fortunately, you do not need to understand the full
protocol stack to get started with Web services.
Assuming you already know the basics of HTTP, it is best
to start at the XML Messaging layer and work your way
What is XML-RPC?
XML-RPC is a protocol that uses XML messages to perform
Remote Procedure Calls. Requests are encoded in XML and
sent via HTTP POST; XML responses are embedded in the
body of the HTTP response.
More succinctly, XML-RPC = HTTP + XML + Remote Procedure
Because XML-RPC is platform independent, diverse
applications can communicate with one another. For
example, a Java client can speak XML-RPC to a Perl
To get a quick sense of XML-RPC, here is a sample XML-RPC
request to a weather service (with the HTTP Headers
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
The request consists of a simple element, which
specifies the method name (getWeather) and any method
parameters (zip code).
Here is a sample XML-RPC response from the weather
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
The response consists of a single element, which
specifies the return value (the current temperature). In
this case, the return value is specified as an integer.
In many ways, XML-RPC is much simpler than SOAP, and
therefore represents the easiest way to get started with
The official XML-RPC specification is available at XML-RPC.com.
Dozens of XML-RPC implementations are available in Perl,
Python, Java, and Ruby. See the XML-RPC home page for a

A color camera makes use of a Bayer pattern to produce a colored image. The RGB value of every pixel is being calculated by taking the value of a pixel, in combination with all the values of neighboring pixels. This results into less sharp images than those of a monochrome camera.
Due to the RGB filter on the pixels, every single pixel, considering white light, on average has 66% less photons than a monochrome camera. Which makes a color camera less light sensitive than a monochrome one. To compensate this, the following options are available:
- Increase the amount of light
- Increase the gain
- Increase shutter speed / exposure time
- Select a more light sensitive sensor
- Select a more light sensitive lens
Most applications do not require I/O. Applications that need a software trigger or need continuous imaging, do not need I/O. The USB port of a PC provides both power and data communication to the camera. If a I/O connector is not being implemented, both the material costs and development time will be reduced. The result is that L-version cameras are cheaper than the standard USB camera version.

No restriction on 4G spectrum auction, licensing
Chamber judge lifts HC order
Chamber judge of the Supreme Court stayed the High Court order that stalled 4G spectrum auction and licensing process on Thursday.
The SC Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain stayed the HC verdict, which was announced two and half hours before, considering the petition filed by the state counsel.
On December 4, Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) published the notice announcing 4G spectrum auction and licensing.
The notice said BTRC will auction 4G spectrum on February 13 and accept applications for licences until January 14 from telecom operators to offer the fourth-generation or 4G services.
According to bdnews24, following a petition citing that the telecom regulator's circular contradicts the 2008 broadband guideline, the High Court stayed the process earlier on Thursday.
Later in the day, the state took the issue to the Supreme Court's chamber judge challenging the order and secured a freeze on it.


A high-speed http://lunchboxguitars.com/streamline-secure-document-sharing-with-data-room-solution internet connection along with a router that is reliable are the basis of any reliable Wi-Fi connection. Unfortunately, many factors can hinder a solid connection, ranging from problems at home like dead spots to signal interference. There are a variety of ways to improve your connection including using special hardware or altering the settings of your Wi-Fi.
A Wi-Fi booster can be a fantastic solution to rid yourself of those shaky wireless signals, whether you’re experiencing issues streaming video or online gaming or simply want a more consistent signal across your home. Boosters, extenders, and repeaters work to amplify the existing wireless network and broadcast it into areas that the signal you have currently can’t be received.
Different WiFi boosters come with various features however, they all function the same way. They plug into the power source and connect to your wireless router with the wireless connection. Some are wall plugs, while others have a more stylish design and are placed on a table or desk. Some have a powerful amplifier and stronger antennas that can enhance your WiFi coverage across multiple floors, all corners of your home, and even your backyard.
If you’re looking to get started, consider using a simple Wi-Fi extender like this one from Netgear. These extenders work well because they’re easy to install and don’t require an Ethernet cord. They have a WPS button that makes connecting to your router quick and easy. You’ll need to position the extender halfway between your router and the area you want to amplify, so that it can receive and rebroadcast the strongest signal.


Find out why vSMTP can optimize
your email security infrastructures
Whereas optimizing allocated resources is becoming a growing challenge, computer attacks remain a constant issue. Over 300 billion emails are sent and received in the world every day. Billions of duplicated attachments are processed, analyzed and delivered, contributing to the increase of greenhouse gas emissions.
To meet this challenge, viridIT is developing a new technology of email gateways, called vSMTP.
It is modular and highly customizable. Users can generate complex routing and filtering scenarios through a simple and intuitive scripting language. Adding or modifying subsystems is facilitated by the internal design of the software. An API is available allowing easy integration into existing security elements. Several native plug-ins are already available.
It has a complete filtering system. In addition to the standard analysis of the SMTP envelope, vSMTP adds the possibility of interacting on the fly on the content of messages (MIME). It is possible to filter, modify, encrypt, etc. any part of an email.
It is developed in RUST. Compared to solutions developed in C / C ++, RUST guarantees the absence of segmentation errors and race conditions. It is the latest generation language best suited to system programming, network services and embedded systems.The network code has been designed with performance and load resistance as the main objectives.
Its development goes through a full cycle of testing. Static and dynamic tests allow more comprehensive coverage of safety tests, one covering faults of the other and vice versa (static view and runtime view). Likewise, random data tests (fuzzing) and load resistance tests are performed.
It is faster and greener. Developed in RUST, the vSMTP engine is a fast and secured SMTP router including a powerful e-mail filtering system.
It is a more efficient, more secure and more ergonomic product than the competition.
vSMTP is up to 10 times faster than its competitors and significantly reduces the need for IT resources.


SAN is the Storage Area Network. When working with SAN, basically two protocols are used.
ISCSI comes into play when we use Ethernet network but Fiber channel protocol comes into play when we use fiber optic network. The working of the both the protocols is however the same. ISCSI is an implementation of SCSI protocol in which the operations are packed in a TCP packet and sent over the network. When the Storage received the packet, extract the SCSI command and executed on the local storage. The result is then sent back to the client machine. Fiber channel operates in the same way.
What is the difference?
If you are running the FC SAN for years, You will believe that ISCSI is a slow, unreliable architecture. If you are using ISCSI, you will believe that no matter is buying such an expensive hardware and then manage that.
Generally the FC SAN is implemented using dedicated HBA, Host Bus Adapters and switches, That's why it is more expensive. FC is available in 1Gbps to 20Gbps speeds. FCP is also optimized to handle the storage traffic. FCP doesn't place any load on the CPU, Making CPU free all its time to work on the application.
ISCSI on the other hand, require no special hardware, however in the class of performance, It is lags behind the Fiber Channel Protocol. The difference is however the few milli seconds, that is due executing the SCSI commands on packets. ISCSI also places large load on the CPU. Although ISCSI HBA's are there that can be used in the implementation to reduce the load on the CPU. Using such dedicated hardware for ISCSI are called hardware initiators if we didn't use any such hardware, it is simply a software initiators.
NAS is Network Area Storage. Working with NAS involved different protocols. Network File system (NFS), Common Internet File System (CIFS).
NFS is simple sharing of file. If we talk about windows, NFS is sharing the files over network using a shared folder. Similar is the case with Linux. We use nfs server to share the files.
NAS and SAN
In case of NAS, suppose the client machine requests for a file, It will directly ask the NAS to provide some file, NAS will send the file on the network. In case of SAN, operations are on the block level. It means that the filesystem information of the storage device is stored on the client machine itself. SAN will first detect the blocks of the data to be fetched. This is determined using the inode values. When it calculates the blocks to access the file. It will send that information to SAN and then SAN will send the particular file on the network.


POWER QUALITY HARMONICS PDF DOWNLOAD!
A growing power quality concern is harmonics distortion that is caused by the non-linearity of customer loads. Harmonics distorts the waveform shape of voltage & current, and increases the current level, which results in many disturbances. systems have experienced harmonics. The harmonics at that time were minor and had no detrimental effects. Mar 28, Power Quality & Reliability. Power Quality and Harmonic. Distortion on Distribution Systems. James K.

Prior to the proliferation of power electronic equipment, harmonics are commonly caused by electric machines working above the knee of the magnetization curve magnetic saturationarc furnaces, welding machines, rectifiers, and DC brush motors.
Power quality harmonics Harmonics primarily result to significant overheating of equipment, cables and wires.
Power Quality and Harmonics: Causes and Effects
Other consequences of having a high harmonic power quality harmonics in the system include the following: Neutral overload in 3-phase systems Electromagnetic interference with communication systems Loss of efficiency in electric machines Increased probability in occurrence of resonance Nuisance tripping of thermal protections.
Errors in measures when using average reading meters Total Demand Distortion Current distortion power quality harmonics can be characterized by the total harmonic distortion, although sometimes this can be misleading.
An intuitive way to see this comes from sketching the voltage wave at fundamental frequency and overlaying a current harmonic with no phase shift in order to more easily observe the following phenomenon.
Power quality harmonics can be observed is that for every period of voltage, there is equal area above the horizontal axis and below the current harmonic wave as there is below the axis and above the current harmonic wave. This means that the average real power contributed by current harmonics is equal to zero.
POWER QUALITY BASICS: HARMONICS | Power Quality In Electrical Systems
However, if higher harmonics of power quality harmonics are considered, then current harmonics do make a contribution to the real power transferred to the load.
Harmonics fundamentals[ edit ] Harmonics are caused by distortions to the underlying sinusoid of any signal, be it power, audio, radio frequency, even mechanical vibrations.
- Harmonics (electrical power) - Wikipedia
- Causes of Harmonic Distortion
Harmonic behavior is defined by the Bullard Laws Of Harmonics  Harmonic amplitudes are proportional to the area of the distortion. The Harmonic Signature is the result of the angle where the sinusoid impacts the distortion as predicted by power quality harmonics Bullard Harmonic Solution.
Even harmonics don't appear in symmetrical distortion because they cancel power quality harmonics other out. When a portion of a sinusoid is removed such as in clippingthe Harmonic Signature mirrors the harmonic signature of the feature removed from the sinusoid.
Square waves, triangle waves and all other kinds of waveforms obey these rules and their harmonic behavior can be predicted with simple mathematical formulas.
Power quality and harmonics cause and effects -premium power
Harmonics are caused by steady-state distortions to current and voltage waves and repeat every cycle. They are different from transient distortions such power quality harmonics spikes, dips and impulses. Often the injection of the harmonics affects the motor causing the harmonics in the first place.
As such detection and reduction of harmonics are an important activity for the industry power quality harmonics.

Causes of Harmonic Distortion In modern electrical systems, power electronics are used to control the circuits. These power electronics including almost all of the domestic gadgets like computers etc require DC power supplies to operate. The utility supply is a 3-phase AC supply as shown here. For simplicity the amplitude power quality harmonics normalised to 1.
Upto the s most of the electric loads were linear loads, in other words, the current flowing power quality harmonics the appliances was a perfect sine power quality harmonics also.
These appliances include induction motors, domestic lighting stoves and most other household appliances. With the advent of modern electronics, appliances became non-linear in the way they drew current through the mains electricity supply.
The variable frequency drives and UPS systems are a major source of harmonics being injected into the electrical system and without proper protection, these harmonics can affect other parts of the plant and even the grid. UPS systems convert the incoming AC to a DC signal to charge power quality harmonics in the event of a power outage — the DC component is a vey high frequency signal and it interferes with he near perfect AC power supplies most of the distortion in the modern power network is customer generated.
Effects of Distortion Harmonics are defined as waveforms at multiples of frequency of the fundamental input signal.


Virtual numbers are used to forward incoming calls to another location – usually in another part of the country or in another country altogether Generally, the incoming calls to the virtual number are forwarded to their destination via VoIP internet calling technology. Given that VoIP telephony is much less expensive than traditional telephony, this allows either the inbound caller or the virtual number subscriber or both to reduce calling costs.
Virtual telephone numbers are available for purchase in many countries around the world – but not available in many others. For instance, virtual numbers are not allowed in India as of this writing.
In general, countries that restrict use of virtual numbers are also countries that regulate use of VoIP internet telephony – and, usually, telecom markets in general.
In such countries, governments are typically trying to nuture incumbent telephone companies and protect them from low-cost competitors, especially from low-cost VoIP companies.
In countries with liberal telecom regulation, like the US, virtual numbers are easy to obtain with few, if any, restrictions on their use.
A Virtual Phone Number is a telephone number that forwards incoming calls to one of the pre-set telephone numbers chosen by the client.
For example, a company located in China can have a phone number in Los Angeles. Virtual Phone Numbers are very popular among Call Centers, which are physically located in one country, when in fact they really work in another. International virtual phone numbers are also popular with people currently residing in a foreign country, giving their family members and friends a virtual phone number so that they can contact them at a local call price rate.
Frequently, the subscriber can easily set the Virtual Phone Number to forward calls to different telephone numbers (both landlines and mobile phones) depending on his or her preference. For example, on work days incoming calls can be set to be forwarded to one’s workplace, but on weekends to one’s mobile phone.
