ISO/IEC 15118 communication standard for charging of electric vehicles
The charging communication protocol defines the vehicle to charging station communication.
Within the Combined Charging System (CCS) it is agreed to use this to enable interoperable charging as an important component in ecosystem. It provides additional charging features and ensures long time invest protection for all market participants. Features like Plug & Charge and Value Add services will make charging as convenient as possible.
With ISO 15118 also bi-directional this means charging/discharging of electric vehicles (Smart Charging) is possible. Thus, the technical framework for different variations of integrating electric vehicles in intelligent grid networks has been developed. For the required hardware a powerline communication module is needed (PLC) as well as a TCP/IP protocol stack.
The international standard series contains the following parts:
- Part 1: General information and use-case definition
- Part 2: Network and application protocol requirements
- Part 3: Physical and data link layer requirements
- Part 4: Network and application protocol conformance test
- Part 5: Physical layer and data link layer conformance test
- Part 8: Physical layer and data link layer requirements for wireless communication

Have you ever sat around talking to your friends only to find the same conversational topic being floated around on social media? While the belief that our phones are listening to us has been disproven, it’s happened so many times to the point of people taping over their devices’ cameras and microphones.
That is, until now. Researchers at Yonsei University in South Korea and the National University of Singapore (NUS) have teamed up to create a device called the ‘TickTock’, which is a mic-monitoring gadget that can alert users when apps have turned on their microphones. The two universities have jointly published their findings in a paper on ArXiv.
Currently, the device is made up of a radio-frequency amplifier, a software-defined radio(SDR), a near-field probe, and a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. In the future, the team hopes to streamline the device down to the size of a USB that can clip onto laptops or phones and light up to alert its users of their mic status.
You may be wondering how exactly it knows if your microphone is on or off. Well, the team relies on electromagnetic signals that are typically emitted from MEMS microphones in laptops.
The TickTock gadget then reads leaked electromagnetic emanations from your device as clock signals are being sent through the cables to the mic.
The end result of the experiment showed impressive findings. However, TickTock failed to work on three different Apple MacBooks. This is in part due to Apple’s aluminum closures and short flex cables that render these signals almost undetectable.
Other problems it faced included the fact that signal strength depended on how the laptops were wired internally and the fact that the audio of these signals was also reliant on the codec chip within the laptop.
Much work still needs to be done in order to bring the device to phones, tablets, and webcams. Phones and tablets, for example, use digital mics, whereas TickTock currently works only on analog ones.
Still, it is a step in the right direction, though it’s hard not to think about the steps we now have to go through to secure our privacy on the internet.

If you only need a router to connect your devices to the internet, and don't need a modem, there are a few options. You can buy a router without a modem, use an Ethernet cable to connect your devices directly to the router, or use a Wi-Fi router.
Explaining What A Modem And Router Are
When most people think of the internet, they think of their computer. They might not realize that their computer is only one part of a larger network that spans the globe. To connect to this network, your computer needs something called a modem.
A modem is a device that converts digital signals into analog signals that can be sent over telephone lines. It does this by modulating (changing) the frequency of the digital signal to match the frequency of the analog signal. When it reaches the other end, it demodulates (changes back to digital) the signal and delivers it to your computer.
Your computer also needs something called an IP address in order to connect to the internet. An IP address is a unique identifier assigned to every device on a network. It's sort of like a phone number for your computer.
Can You Use A Router Without A Modem?
Routers and modems are two of the most important pieces of equipment when it comes to setting up a home network. However, what happens when you only have a router and no modem? Can you still use a VPN?
The answer is yes, you can still use a VPN without a modem. In fact, many routers come with built-in modems, so you may not even need to purchase one separately. If your router does not have a built-in modem, you can purchase an external modem that will plug into your router.
Once you have your modem set up, you will need to configure your VPN settings. This process varies depending on your VPN provider and the type of router you are using. However, most providers have detailed instructions on their website that can walk you through the process.
Using a VPN has a lot of benefits. Looking into it there’s no reason why you shouldn’t purchase a VPN. If you’re looking for any recommendations and a price reduction then you should take the IPVanish coupon code which we’re presenting to you.
What Are The Benefits Of Using A Router Without A Modem?
When you're looking for a broadband router, you might be wondering if you need to get a model that includes a modem. After all, your computer has a built-in modem, so why would you need another one? Here are some reasons why you might want to buy a broadband router without a modem:
- You can save money. Modems are often included in routers, but they can also be purchased separately. If your goal is to save money, then buying a broadband router without a modem is the way to go.
- You can get better performance. A standalone modem may not offer the same level of performance as a broadband router. By using a router without a modem, you'll get faster speeds and better performance.
- You can future-proof your home network.
What Are The Risks Of Using A Router Without A Modem?
When you are using a router without a modem, there are certain risks that you are taking. One of the biggest risks is that you may not be able to connect to the internet. This is because the router needs to be connected to the modem in order to work. If you are not able to connect to the internet, then you will not be able to get online and access the websites that you want to visit. Another risk that you are taking when you are using a router without a modem is that your security may be compromised. This is because routers are often targeted by hackers, and if your router does not have a modem, then it will be more vulnerable to attacks. Additionally, if you are using a router without a modem, then you may have trouble connecting your devices to the network. This is because routers usually require a modem in order for devices to connect.
How To Set Up A Router Without A Modem?
Setting up a router without a modem can be a daunting task, but with these simple steps you'll have your network up and running in no time.
First, you'll need to gather the following items: your router, an ethernet cable, and your computer.
Once you have all of the necessary components, connect the router to your computer with the ethernet cable.
Then, power on your router and computer.
Next, open a web browser and type in 192.168.1.1 into the address bar. This is the default address for most routers.
If this doesn't work, consult your router's documentation to find out its specific IP address.
Once you've accessed your router's administration page, enter your username and password if prompted (the default username and password are both "admin").
In conclusion, it is possible to use a router without a modem. However, doing so may cause some problems. If you are having trouble connecting to the internet, or if your internet is not working properly, try connecting your router to your modem. If that does not solve the problem, you may need to call your internet service provider.

New Fluke Cat 7 Test Solution for GG45
GG45 channel adapter now available for DTX-1800
Based on our new PCB 8-pin GG45 jack, Fluke Networks has developed a Cat.7 channel adapter for the DTX-1800 tester enabling field certification of GG45 installations.
The Fluke Channel Adapter can be used in combination with a Nexans Cat 7 measurement cord (N900.679). The appropriate test limit is ISO 11801 Class F Channel.
Laboratory tests in Nexans Competence Centre, Buizingen, have demonstrated excellent consistency with Network Analyser results and have confirmed the accuracy to be better than 2dB. This exceeds the Level IV accuracy standard and provides a reliable fi eld testing solution for LANmark-7 cabling systems.
Channel Adapters allow measurement of a Cat 7 node at much lower cost than permanent link testing. Due the fact that test plugs wear out and have to be replaced after ~750-1000 measurements, test adapters have to be exchanged frequently. Using channel testing only the patch cords, which are available at a fraction of cost compared to Permanent Link adapters, have to be replaced.
With this new adapter, all 3 major field test manufacturers (Agilent, Ideal and Fluke) now support GG45. Installers can now use the same test device for Cat.6 and Cat.7, just by exchanging the test adapter, thereby removing the need for “special” test equipment for Cat.7.
The Channel adapters are available now from Fluke Networks.
- DTX-CHA012S : GG45 Channel Adapter Set
- DTX-REFMOD : Reference Module
The Measurement cords are available in stock from Nexans.
- Part Number : N900.679

Estimation of noise present in Hyperspectral images is a way to enhance the quality of the extracted information and to reduce the uncertainties in the results. The simplest method widely used in noise estimation is Shift Difference. This method has two weaknesses; first, it is based upon the assumption that the adjacent pixels have the same signal information which is not necessarily valid in hyperspectral data sets; second, in order to calculate the correct values of noise it needs homogeneous regions that is usually being determined by supervision. In this study, a new method in noise estimation (NETAL) is introduced. In this method the satellite images are divided into homogeneous regions using spectral absorption parameters such as location of absorption lines, width and depth of these absorption features for every individual pixels. Then in each region the noise was calculated using regression between adjacent bands and finally the total noise was estimated through accumulation of the calculated noises in each region. The NETAL algorithm was evaluated by using simulated and real hyperspectral data sets. The results show that the noise estimation by NETAL method is faster than Multiple Regression method while the accuracy will remain the same as and even better than the Multiple Regression method.


A recent standard for audio and video conferencing established by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). H.323 is a comprehensive standard for multimedia communication among computers, terminals, network devices, and network services running on connectionless networks that do not support intrinsic quality of service (QoS) functions, such as Internet Protocolbased networks and the Internet. This standard is widely accepted by manufacturers of Voice over IP (VoIP) and Internet phone software and devices. Any hardware or software system that supports the H.323 standard can communicate with any other H.323 system. H.323 is designed to make multimedia communication over the Internet as standardized as telephone communication. For example, with telephone communication you can purchase telephone equipment from any vendor and plug it into your phone system, and the equipment works. The idea is to make Internet communication appliances just as easy to use.
A mode of communication in which data can be transmitted or received, but cannot be transmitted and received simultaneously. The simplest example is a walkie-talkie: You have to press a button to talk and release the button to listen. When two people use walkie-talkies to communicate, at any given moment, only one of them can talk while the other listens. If both try to talk simultaneously, a collision occurs and neither hears what the other says.
Communication through traditional Ethernet networks is another example of half-duplex communication. When one station on an Ethernet transmits, the other stations detect the carrier signal and listen instead of transmitting. If two stations transmit signals simultaneously, a collision occurs and both stations stop transmitting and wait random intervals of time before retransmitting.
In contrast, full-duplex communication enables stations to transmit and receive signals simultaneously, with the advantage of providing twice the bandwidth of equivalent half-duplex technologies. However, full-duplex requires two communication channels to achieve these resultsone to transmit and one to receive signals.
A third mode of communication is called simplex, which involves transmission in one direction only, with one station tra H channel
A designation for groups of channels on Basic Rate Interface ISDN (BRI-ISDN) services. H channel standards are defined by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and are composed of different combinations of Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) B channels. The most common configurations are as follows:
The initial portion of a packet or a frame. The header contains control information such as addressing, routing, and protocol version. The format of this information depends on the protocol being used. For example, an Internet Protocol (IP) header contains information about the version of the IP protocol, the length of the header, the type of service used, the packets Time to Live (TTL), the source and destination address, and so on. Headers are used to control the flow of packets through the network or over the communication link.
The end of a frame sometimes has a smaller structure called a footer or trailer, but this usually contains only error-checking information. Control information is always placed in the header because this is the first portion of the packet or frame that is read by a networking device such as a switch or a router.
High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL)
A modulation technology similar to Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) that uses a group of existing copper twisted-pair subscriber telephone lines to transmit data at T1 or E1 speeds. High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL) was the earliest version of Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) to be widely implemented; it is often used as a low-cost alternative to dedicated T1 links for wide area networks (WANs) and for building-to-building communication in a campuswide network
High-level Data Link Control (HDLC)
A standard synchronous communication protocol at the data-link layer (layer 2) of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model that is used for wide area network (WAN) synchronous serial connections over leased lines. High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) was derived from Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) and was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for point-to-point communication. It was later adapted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for X.25 Link Access protocol.

Global fixed line broadband speeds have generally followed similar trends. More technology-driven countries have usually led the charge in speeds (case examples South Korea and Singapore) since it also helps them drive their economies.
Here in Malaysia we have suffered for many years under the limitations of our national broadband carrier which has struggled to cope with providing affordable broadband throughout the country. In all fairness, it requires significant investment in infrastructure to really make that work.
With the liberalisation of the broadband market, things have changed a little. More players have entered the fray and big names like Maxis are taking up the challenge. The problem is that these companies are not broadband providers at their core and rural areas are also not likely to benefit from their participation.
Before we begin the list and summary, I’d like to take the opportunity to highlight again that this is based on fixed line broadband service only. Companies like Maxis and TM have other product channels which are not covered under the scope of this listing.
1. TM unifihttps://unifi.com.my
- Speed up to 300Mbps
- Comes with IPTV
- Free voice line
"With the widest coverage, TM Unifi has improved its bandwidth and pricing over the past year."
Having used TM broadband services for many years, I’ve experienced both StreamyX and Unifi, the last being Unifi Turbo. For me, line speeds have mostly always been good and even when I was on a 50Mbps Unifi plan I was getting full download speeds over 90% of the time.
The process of installation has also been observed several times and I must say that despite popular opinion, TM does have some good contractors. The bigger issue here is that they are not able to hold their contractors to a decent standard of performance.
With all Unifi plans currently, TM offers decent starting equipment. However, this equipment may not really be able to handle wireless broadband performance for the higher speed plans so they may need to re-look at what’s on offer to those who pay more for their broadband.
Customer support is one channel that has really let TM down and there are issues all along the line ranging from corporate apathy to unskilled first responders on technical help lines. Whereas there can be expected some level of discrepancy in contractor performance, you can rely on TM call centre staff to be usually unable to help you except by providing a technical service number and telling you to wait.
Overall, they have a fair to middling product that is decent overall but let down by customer service policies and skill (or lack thereof). Still, with the widest coverage in the nation, TM is likely what you have available anywhere.

2. TIME Internethttps://www.time.com.my
- Speed up to 1Gbps
- 12-month contract
- Free voice line
"TIME Internet offers the fastest broadband speeds at 1Gbps."
TIME has been around for a while now, but it has never really come to the fore until they dropped the 1Gbps bombshell after MSAP. Today they offer the best speed available for homes. Unfortunately, TIME is not a government-linked company and has no incentive to roll out broadband where it’s not as commercially viable to do it.
This has resulted in TIME fibre being only available in limited high-density population areas such as urban centres and area with many high-rise buildings such as condos. I’ve been on TIME fibre for almost a year now and their speed is simply astounding.
Installation has been great, and my personal experience is that the contractor was both professional and much neater than TM contractors. He used a glue gun to lay the cable neatly in my home towards the desired access point.
So far, I have both had and seen few complaints about TIME broadband. The main gripe about them seems to be the fact that their coverage area is so limited that many people simply can’t sign up.
Read our full TIME Internet Review for more information!
- Speed up to 800Mbps
- Offers Mesh routers
- May bundle with mobile plan
"Maxis is strong in mobile telecommunication but inexperienced in broadband."
The name Maxis in Malaysia is synonymous with expensive mobile telecommunications yet at the same time, services which are both stable and strong. They have done extremely well as a brand but their foray into the fixed line broadband space seems a little unlike them.
Built originally on TM’s infrastructure, Maxis has faced criticism in terms of both product quality as well as support, which is unusual because they have traditionally been a company strong in both. My only guess as to the reason for this is that they remain very focus on their core business and are only marginally tapping into the fixed line broadband market.
In-line with their profile though, they offer customers on their premium fixed line broadband plans Mesh routers. These are routers which can work in tandem to create wider blanket coverage over a larger space.

Malaysia Now Has Mandatory Standards On Access Pricing
Since the early days of its formation, one of the key roles of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has been to regulate the broadband industry in the country. Unfortunately, early agreements between Telekom Malaysia (TM) and the government allowed it freedom from regulation for several years.
Since then the broadband landscape has also changed of late the industry has benefitted from not just having extra players in the market but also Mandatory Standards on Access Pricing (MSAP). This means that broadband players in the market were forced to adhere to price reviews by MCMC in consultation with the public.
Since MSAP’s full implementation, broadband prices have dropped, and speeds have increased significantly. MCMC will also be keeping a close eye on mobile broadband once 5G technologies are more commercially viable in the country.
Downloads Speeds Have More Than Doubled
(Malaysia currently ranks 36th)
With the heat on broadband service providers “encouraging” them to improve services and make them more affordable, Malaysia saw a jump in fixed broadband speeds. Although we still currently rank below 30 on Ookla’s global speed index, there has been a vast improvement.
Less than a year ago, Malaysia saw download speeds on fixed broadband totter at slightly under 20Mbps average. Today, that number has jumped into the 60Mbps and 70Mbps range. A jump this significant proves that it was merely complacency on the part of broadband providers affecting speeds here.
Malaysia Will Invest RM1 Billion For Broadband Infrastructure
Budget 2019 saw the allocation of RM1 billion for infrastructure under the government’s National Firberisation and Connectivity Plan. Fibre is what most of our fixed line high speed broadband is built on these days. The move will likely achieve two main goals and that is to increase broadband speeds further and to increase access to broadband in rural areas.
Shift To Mobile Must Be Considered
Many people may be anticipating the introduction of 5G networks, but it is unlikely that this will overly reduce the demand for fixed broadband here significantly. The technology is already undergoing live testing but as with any network that requires infrastructure it will take time and money to roll out.
Look at 4G as a case example. Most 4G networks are run by commercial entities such as Maxis and even with being out in the market for so long, many areas are still white spots for 4G coverage. In fact, some mobile broadband providers are not even able to keep up regular coverage reliably in urban areas and overall, only Maxis has maintained a performance lead in mobile broadband.
What cannot be ignored though is the potential of 5G and that is a massive performance boost on mobile devices. With so much of the world going mobile, it is an area that can drive entire business model change. We can see this in how even Google has changed to a mobile-first indexing policy.
Customer Service Remains Subpar
No matter how good a service, customer support needs to be on the ball in order or there to be satisfaction along the entire product lifetime. Here in Malaysia, TM has long been a dominant provider simply because it has been the only one with the infrastructure to meet nationwide demand.
Unfortunately, this has also resulted in it having a semi-market monopoly and their lackluster attitude towards customer service has resulted in many complaints to Telekom Malaysia, some of which have really seen the company with egg on their faces.
Sadly, this remains true even now and none of the other providers seem willing to step up and tweak their nose about it. The state of customer service in broadband providers here remains overall low and complaints seem to have not done much about it.
Perhaps with MCMC taking a more active role and making itself more publicly available, things will change. I am not holding my breath.
What We Look For In Broadband For Malaysia
The lifeblood of most fixed-line broadband providers, speed in Malaysia seems to matter less than general availability in many cases. I have seen users who opt to downgrade plans once lower speed, cheaper plans are available simply because they cost less.
Part of this is likely to be the shift of focus slightly more towards mobile devices, but it could also be that many users simply don’t do many things on the Internet that requires lightning-fast speeds. For Gigabit speeds, a Blu-Ray format movie will only take a few minutes – how often is that really needed?
Combine that with the fact that many of us are out most of the day at some form of work or another and that severely limits the time we must spend on home fixed line broadband. However, speed is still important if only for the fact that it is available should we need it or want it.
- Equipment provided
Most fixed line broadband plans in Malaysia come with equipment provided by the telco. The quality of the equipment doesn’t really differ in many cases and simply offer the consumer a steppingstone into the world of broadband.
Some telcos charge extra, or impose certain fees associated with equipment on installation and this also factors into their rating. On a side note, many of the companies providing broadband work their installations via independent contractors who are not really part of their companies. This results in a little bit of an enigma during the installation process.
The problem here is that the quality and attitude of these contractors vary immensely, and this directly affects the brand of the telco that they are representing.
- Customer support
This is one crucial area where Malaysian fixed line broadband providers show very little progress. We generally gauge them based on availability of support along with the level of help able to be provided by the companies.
This includes a broad span of channels, ranging from direct calls, online channels and even service outlet performance.
Like all technology, fixed line broadband breaks down sometimes and the cause can be hardware or software related. To compound issues, broadband is something that stretches far behind a nation’s borders and international connections as well as routing points need to be considered as well.
Some broadband service providers offer value-added services along with broadband. However, some force certain services on customers while others allow detailed segmentation. The point of contention is to what extent consumers should be allowed to customize plans.
There is also the issue of quality of those services, especially when it comes to services which consumers have no option but to accept as part of the package (and hence, fees).
Final Thoughts: What Makes Broadband Better?
For many years, broadband has been a touchy subject in Malaysia because of TM’s near monopoly over the sector. The company has been the main broadband service provider for near decades and almost exclusively has the widest infrastructure reach in the country.
The transition to Fibre gave other companies a chance to compete, but they do not have the inclination to serve less commercially viable areas unlike TM, which is a government-linked company. This fact is good for those who stay in rural areas but bad for those who seek better options from competitors.
Today the field has expanded slightly but there are still many limitations. Irrespective of your real choice, it remains that you are more likely than not to have to turn to TM, at least for the next couple of years.
5G may change the playing field somewhat, but until the market matures, your choices remain TM Unifi, Maxis Broadband or TIME Internet. If you have the option, I recommend you go for TIME. If not anything else, you won’t feel the urge to strangle the support staff who answers your call for assistance.
To recap, here is the best broadband in Malaysia

Timesofummah.com – Bandwidth is the maximum number of deliveries that can be made during the data exchange process. We often hear the term bandwidth itself, especially when discussing the topic of VPS or Virtual Private Servers. But, what exactly is the meaning of bandwidth itself? Well, in this article, we will discuss the meaning of bandwidth, functions, how it works, examples, and tips on maximizing bandwidth functions. You need to understand that the bandwidth that will be discussed in the article is the bandwidth on the internet.
Definition of Bandwidth
Bandwidth is a capacity that can be used in an ethernet cable so that data packet traffic can be passed with a certain maximum. Another definition of internet bandwidth is the amount of data transfer consumption which is calculated in units of time bits per second or bps. Thus, internet bandwidth is the maximum capacity for communication lines to carry out the process of sending and receiving data in just seconds. There is also the term analog bandwidth. Where analog bandwidth means a difference between the lowest frequency and the highest frequency in a frequency range that can be measured using units of Hertz (Hz) which aims to determine the data or information that can be transmitted at a time.
Often, bandwidth is analogous to the width of a highway. Meanwhile, the incoming data through the bandwidth is analogous to a vehicle passing on the road. So, the fewer vehicles that pass, the smoother the traffic. Meanwhile, if many vehicles pass on the highway, the traffic will also be more congested and clogged and will affect the activities of other vehicles. The wider the road (bandwidth), the more vehicles that can pass through the road. Therefore, it is not wrong if bandwidth is one of the considerations for many internet network users. Because, the greater the bandwidth, the faster the data exchange will be. In addition, more data will also be able to pass through the bandwidth at one time.
Types of Bandwidth
In the earlier discussion, we have discussed several things related to the term bandwidth. However, in reality, they are all digital products. Because, the internet can run because of the transmission of digital signals. While the bandwidth is also in the analog signal. So, so as not to be confused, here are some types of bandwidth that you need to know.
1. Analog Bandwidth
Analog bandwidth is the magnitude of a frequency range in Hertz, where a signal can be obtained accurately. In addition, analog bandwidth usually has a relatively lower size than digital bandwidth.
2. Digital Bandwidth
Digital bandwidth is the number of pulses per second measured in bits per second or bps. This type of bandwidth uses digital signals in its transmission. Meanwhile, the digital bandwidth is relatively larger and wider than the analog bandwidth.
When divided again, there are several functions related to bandwidth based on its role in the internet network. Then, what are the functions of bandwidth? Below are some bandwidth functions divided by how they are used.
1. Data Delivery Media
The first bandwidth function is as a measure of media or data transmission paths that exist in a particular computer or network. This function is almost everywhere that has a computer network. Bandwidth itself is very useful especially when it comes to network distribution. Bandwidth size is usually used as one of the benchmarks for users to choose a provider or service provider related to internet connection. The greater the bandwidth offered, the better the services provided.
2. Data Transfer Speed
The second bandwidth function is as a data transfer rate divider. So, the speed in it can be distributed fairly to all users. This division is also used as a media to limit so that users do not fight over each other for bandwidth. If it is not shared, then it is possible for the entire bandwidth to be allocated to a network that is only used by one user and ultimately other users do not get bandwidth. For example, when downloading a file from the internet which is quite large.
When doing the download process, there will be a very large data request. This of course will overwhelm the bandwidth on the network. If it’s not restricted, other users’ connections will be slow and they won’t even be able to connect at all. Especially those who download using certain download managers.
3. Set the amount of data transferred
Sometimes, network administrators place considerable restrictions on the data that can be accessed or downloaded from the internet. It aims to reduce high traffic in a long time. With the presence of high traffic in the same time can also disrupt the stability of the network. Because, it will affect the available bandwidth capacity.
Well, those were the functions of bandwidth, most of which can provide an overview to understand what bandwidth is. Although bandwidth is actually a term used to describe the capacity of an ethernet cable or network size.

What are the classifications of proxy IP？
What are the classifications of proxy IP?
Proxy IP can be classified according to usage and identity, and common classifications include the following:
Transparent Proxy: Transparent proxies forward the real IP address to the target server, allowing the target server to know the user’s real IP address.
Anonymous Proxy: Anonymous proxies hide the user’s real IP address, preventing the target server from obtaining the user’s real IP address, but the use of a proxy can still be detected.
High Anonymous Proxy: High anonymous proxies not only hide the user’s real IP address but also hide their own existence, making it impossible for the target server to detect the use of a proxy.
Forward Proxy: A forward proxy is a proxy between the client and the target server, representing the client in requesting the target server.
Reverse Proxy: A reverse proxy is a proxy between the server and the target client, representing the server in providing services to the client.
SOCKS Proxy: SOCKS proxy is a network protocol that allows TCP and UDP communication through a proxy server.
These classifications are based on the characteristics and usage of proxy IPs, and different types of proxy IPs are suitable for different needs and scenarios.
What is the purpose of proxy IP?
Proxy IPs serve multiple purposes, including the following:
Hide Real IP Address: Using a proxy IP can hide the user’s real IP address, giving the user a different IP address when accessing the internet and protecting personal privacy.
Bypass Bans: Some websites or services may block certain IP addresses, but using a proxy IP can bypass these bans and allow access to blocked websites or services.
Bypass Geographical Restrictions: Some websites or services in certain regions may have geographical restrictions, but using a proxy IP can change the user’s location and bypass these restrictions to access websites or services that are otherwise restricted.
Improve Access Speed: Using a proxy IP allows for caching and acceleration through a local proxy server, improving website access speed, especially when accessing distant servers.
Anonymous Browsing: Using an anonymous proxy IP can hide the user’s real identity and location, enhancing online anonymity and making it more difficult for users to be traced and monitored.
Data Collection and Web Scraping: Proxy IPs can be used in applications such as data collection and web scraping. By changing the IP address, website restrictions on frequent requests can be circumvented, improving data acquisition efficiency.
Security Protection: Using a proxy IP can provide a certain level of security protection. Hiding the real IP address can reduce the risk of being targeted by network attacks and prevent personal information leakage.
Overall, proxy IPs can provide privacy protection, bypass bans and geographical restrictions, and improve website access speed, making them suitable for various user needs and scenarios.
Are proxy IPs legal?
Using proxy IPs itself is legal, but the specific usage of proxy IPs must comply with relevant laws and regulations. In some countries or regions, the use of proxy IPs may be restricted or regulated, especially in cases involving illegal activities or infringement of others’ rights. Therefore, when using proxy IPs, local laws and regulations should be followed, and the usage should be legal and compliant. Furthermore, it is important to note that proxy IPs should not be used for illegal activities, invasion of privacy, or compromising network security.
What are the limitations of proxy IPs?
The usage of proxy IPs may be subject to certain limitations, which vary depending on the service provider, proxy server settings, and usage methods. Here are some common limitations:
Speed Limitations: Some proxy IP services may impose speed limits, resulting in slower access speeds.
Concurrent Connection Limitations: Some proxy IP services may restrict the number of simultaneous connections, making it impossible to perform a large number of concurrent requests.
Duration Limitations: Some proxy IP services may limit the usage duration per connection, requiring a reconnection after the time limit is reached.
Restrictions on Access to Certain Websites: Some proxy IP services may limit access to certain websites or services, especially those with high risks or illegal content.
Frequency Limitations: Some websites or services may limit the frequency of access via proxy IPs. Excessive requests may result in being banned or restricted from accessing.
Banned IPs: Some websites or services may ban commonly used proxy IPs, making it impossible to access related websites or services using these banned proxy IPs.
Privacy Risks: Using free proxy IP services carries the risk of privacy leakage, as these services may collect and store user data.
It is necessary to understand and comply with the relevant usage limitations based on specific proxy IP services and usage scenarios. Furthermore, to ensure network security and legal usage, users should comply with local laws and regulations when using proxy IPs and avoid engaging in illegal activities, invasion of others’ privacy, or compromising network security.

Are you looking for an upgrade to your telehealth setup? When I first started doing telehealth visits, I would only use the built-in microphone on my Ipad pro. However, after more visits, I realized the sound quality was average, and some people struggled to hear me.
I have personally tried multiple headsets, not just for telehealth but for everyday use. I have yet to find a great headset that allows me to get excellent sound quality. However, I have found some that work well enough for me to perform a telehealth visit.
Before I jump into some product recommendations, let’s look at some features of the headsets.
Some of the features we look for when it comes to a wireless Bluetooth headset include:
- The sound quality on receive and the patients’ side
- The “look” of the headset
- Background elimination or noise-canceling
- Headphone Fit and comfort
- The type of headset (earbuds, neck sitting banded headsets, over the ear, on-ear, and open-ear)
- Voice Assistant
- Water-resistant or waterproof
- Some newer models even offer Biometrics (heart rate monitor, etc.)
- Sound Amplification
I have not tried the open-eared headphones yet and will hopefully purchase a pair in the future for review. These usually wrap around your neck and sit near your ear canal using bone conduction to transmit sound. Aftershokz Titanium Bone Conduction Wireless Bluetooth Headphones are one of the brands I am looking into purchasing.
With this in mind, I have tried multiple headsets, earbuds, and hard-wired microphones. I ended up sticking with the wired headset/microphone that Apple sells.
Sometimes I will use the wireless headsets if I need to walk around. However, this is rarely a problem for me because I stay seated and chart during my visits. If I am using a wireless headset, I prefer something more discreet and low profile.
Problems encountered with wireless headsets.
- Losing connection
- Poor background noise cancelation
- Interference from your cell phone connection
- Low battery requires frequent charging
Wireless Headset Options for Telehealth Visits:
- Ipad AirPods: these small earbuds are discrete and relatively comfortable. They also work with all the apple devices making connectivity a breeze. The battery life is fair, but they charge quickly in-between uses. They are decent at not picking up background noise but not the best when the window is down in your car and you are trying to have a hands-free discussion.
- Powerbeats Pro
- Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones: These are too bulky for my taste, but some people like the comfort and noise cancelation. These headsets have five built-in microphones with advanced audio signal processing to help improve sound quality.
- Sony Earbud WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones are small earbud-style headset. I was not impressed with these earbuds and found the apple AirPods had better sound quality.
- Anker SoundBuds Slim Wireless Headphones are a cost-effective option for a wireless headset. However, for better microphone pickup, try letting the wire portion fall under your chin rather than behind your neck.
- The bose noise-canceling headsets: The latest headset – Bose QuietComfort 35 II Wireless Bluetooth Headphones, Noise-Cancelling, with Alexa Voice Control comes with noise rejecting dual-microphone system for clear sound and voice pickup. I enjoyed this headset for listening to music but wasn’t a fan for handsfree telehealth visits. Plus, they are bulky, and I wouldn’t say I liked the look when doing a telehealth visit.
Hard wired options:
- Webcams: These are the worst when it comes to background elimination. They seem to pick up every sound that may be around you, such as dogs barking or people talking. However, they are easy to use once you have it set up, and there is no need for anything on your ears or head.
- Jabra makes a great wired headset with a built-in boom mic. This microphone has a 3.5mm jack for connecting to your device. The one I used was the Jabra Evolve 40 professional Wired Headset. I liked the sound but didn’t like the look and feel of the headset.
- I frequently use the Apple brand EarPods with a lightning connector to my cell phone. The sound quality is good, and they are comfortable and easy to carry with me. Plus, it is low cost and works great with apple products.
- In a pinch, you could always borrow your kid’s gaming headsets. They are pretty good at filtering sound and provide fairly decent microphone quality.
Alternatives to wired and wireless headsets for telehealth visits
If the above recommendations do not fill your needs, why not try a wired microphone.
Cardioid Microphones (cardioid mic): These are desktop microphones that are well suited for telehealth visits. You can get ones that sit on your desk and will have high-quality recordings of your voice.
You will need a separate speaker to hear your patient talk. These types of microphones work best when using a desktop.
Many brands of desktop microphones include the Cardioid microphone option and have “Omni recording.” Omni isn’t really good for telehealth visits unless other people in the room need to be heard.
I used the “Yeti” brand microphone for PC. When speaking, the sound quality is very high, and it’s nice not to have to wear a headset.
This microphone helps avoid picking up sounds from the sides or behind the microphone, like in a noisy office setting. The microphone is excellent if you have children at home or animals making noise in the background.
- Blue Snowball
- Blue Yeti USB Microphone for PC & Mac
While Bluetooth wireless technology may be more convenient, we recommend sticking with a hard-wired microphone when doing a telehealth visit.
You do not have to spend a fortune to get excellent sound quality. There are multiple options on amazon and specialty sites that sell quality microphones.
I love wireless headsets for ease of use, but nothing beats a good wired headset when it comes to sound quality and noise cancellation.
Remember, I am not an IT professional. I am just speaking from experience in using headsets when doing telehealth visits with patients.


Setting up your wifi router isn’t as stressful as you think it is. Most router brands make it easy to use their products. They sometimes come with a smartphone app or computer software that will guide you through the installation process. This guide will help you out if you’re a total newbie.
Placement of Your Wireless Router
You need to figure out where you’re going to place your wireless router. You should place your router in an open area of your home. Never put it in a dead spot that’s close to your other electronic devices. Keeping it out in the open will provide you with the best coverage as well as a stable internet connection.
If you can’t place your router in an open area of your home, avoid shoving it in the closet or putting it in the basement. You may need to use a longer cable to connect the route to the gateway’s Ethernet port so you can have it out in the open. Run two Ethernet cables through your desk or walls to the port.
Configure the Router Gateway
Most internet service providers give their customers modems with built-in routers. Most of these devices have a poor signal compared to stand-alone wireless routers. You need the IP address that your router’s gateway uses. Input that IP address into your web browser to access the gateway’s configuration screen.
Turn off your gateway by pressing the “Off” switch or unplugging the power supply. If your Ethernet cable is in the LAN port, remove it, and plug it into the WAN port. Turn on the gateway and wait several minutes for it to boot up. Plug in the power supply and wait several minutes for that to load up.
Change Your Router’s Admin
Many router brands have smartphone apps that allow you to control your routers. If yours doesn’t come with an app, connect your computer to the router with your Ethernet cable. Enter your router’s IP address into the web browser. The IP address should look like a group of numbers with periods between each grouping.
You’ll need your router’s administrative login information to access it. This information is located on the router itself or in the documentation. Enter that information into your web browser. You should be able to change the administrative password since it’s not secure. Change it to something that’s difficult, but unique enough for you to remember.
Update the Firmware
Router brands often release new firmware after they send the router. This firmware includes bug fixes, patches, and security improvements. Verify that you have the latest firmware. Most routers will look for new firmware automatically. It’s best to look at your router’s user manual for more information. You should restart your router after the firmware update.
Create a Password to Access Your Network
Most routers come with pre-assigned passwords that are often found on the router itself. Configure the password to a WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) encryption. The WEP (Wired Equivalent Password) shouldn’t be used since it doesn’t provide a secure connection.
The process for creating a router’s Wi-Fi password varies upon the device that you use. It’s best to check your user manual for detailed information. If you own a dual-band router, you need to create networks for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks. The password should include a combination of characters, letters, and numbers.
Now you’re connected to your Wi-Fi network. You should be able to access your Wi-Fi network using the password you created. Take advantage of your router’s guest network. This allows your guests to use the internet without hogging the bandwidth on the main network.
