Antennas & Coax
When you first start after getting your license, you will most likely get a hand held transceiver, such as the recommended Yaesu FT-60. These usually come with a short antenna encased in plastic or rubber, commonly called "rubber duck" antennas. These are not very good, so your first move antenna-wise should be to get a "whip" antenna, which greatly improves the signal.
These antennas can be installed on your car, on the roof of your house, or on a painter pole for a mobile station.
Base Station Antennas
While a step up from the hand held, base stations still need good antennas. There are various types, but they all have to be connected via coax cable which can be a difficult proposition if you do not know which kind of coax to get.
High Frequency (HF) Antennas
These antennas are designed for very long distance communications around the world. They can be equipped with rotators so they can aim the signal anywhere in the country or globe. Many HF antennas are horizontal dipole wires raised in the air. This one is a Yagi design.

The Co. Derry teen is starring in a new ad campaign, launched this week, to help raise awareness of the benefits of superfast broadband and to encourage all those who can avail of it, to upgrade to the service.
Superfast NI is responsible for raising awareness of Northern Ireland’s next generation fibre broadband network, which is providing a faster and more reliable service than ever before. Superfast NI represents all communication providers and is managed by BT, who is leading this latest campaign.
When asked about his latest role, Ruairí McSorley said: “Sure it is well known that you won’t be able to find a speedier talker than me so I am only delighted to help spread the word and tell the good people of Northern Ireland all about superfast broadband.
“And sure why not? Sure it is faster than standard broadband so there’s some craic and no fightin’ when all of us is on the oul internet at the same time – sure she’s Superfast! And sure the mother herself is only thrilled to be seeing my smiling face on all of those there buses and billboards!”
Ruairi continued: “The good news is that most people in Northern Ireland can get fibre broadband already and all they have to do is visit nibroadband.com and double check to be sure to be sure if it is available in their area. Then you won’t be long waiting on that there Kate Winslet in the Titanic downloading or to be chatting to the cousins in Australia on that there Skype!”
Explaining why Ruairi was the perfect choice for the campaign Frank McManus, head of wholesale sales and services at BT said, “Ruairi is a social media phenomenon, having amassed millions of views on You Tube with his hilarious fast-talking video. He is the perfect example of the power of the internet and how it can transform someone into an internationally renowned star almost overnight.
“This is what our campaign is all about- showcasing the amazing benefits of superfast internet access and encouraging all those who can avail of it to make use of it and experience for themselves the difference it makes, be it at home, school, at work or on the move. We’re looking forward to working with Ruairi and taking our superfast story across Northern Ireland over the coming months.”
Superfast fibre broadband uses the latest fibre optic technology (known as fibre to the cabinet, or FTTC) to greatly increase broadband speeds by replacing a section of the copper network with superfast fibre optic cable. The result is faster download speeds of up to 80Mbps (megabits per second) and upload speeds of up to 20Mbps, the equivalent of downloading a feature length HD movie in approximately two minutes.
Northern Ireland’s fibre broadband network is open access, meaning that other internet service providers can use the network to provide competitive and innovative communication services to their customers. Currently over 30 internet service providers use the network, offering great choice to consumers and businesses. Full details on availability, benefits and a list of providers can be found on the dedicated Superfast NI website at www.nibroadband.com #sureshessuperfast

Test your Broadband Speed
Broadband has been to our generation what the wheel was to the caveman, completely changing the way in which we communicate with each other and do business, and many people who`ve signed up to the broadband ideal can`t imagine how they`d live without it now. For the personal user broadband can be an affordable internet solution offering unlimited entertainment as well as education, with loads of sites offering free video streaming and a whole worlds worth of knowledge and support offered in an online community. It`s also a great way to stay in touch with friends and family around the world, and sharing info, pictures and video has never been easier or more cost effective. For the business user, broadband has streamlined commerce on a global scale, allowing voice and video conferencing to be handled online without the need for expensive equipment and with online file storing and business server technology allowing you to access your important documents from anywhere in the world. There are many ways in which broadband can be received, either via copper telephone wire, cable land line connection or wirelessly on a local level via Wi-Fi or on a wider level using Mobile Broadband and 3G networking technology. As a result there are plenty of companies offering similar products with similar download speeds, and the best way to compare your current service with an alternative or to check the performance of your connection is to use a broadband speed test site online.
How a Speed Test Works
A speed test should provide a simple to use interface as well as giving you accurate and useful information about your connection speed. First the speed test website will download a small data file from their own servers to your PC and give you the speed at which the download occurred. Then a small file will be uploaded from your PC back to the speed test server, giving you the upload speed. This information can then be used in many ways. You can compare the results against the speed at which your Internet Service Provider sold you the service at, and also against the speeds offered by other providers. If you think that there is a fault in your line you can also use the results of a speed test to augment your ISPs investigations of the problem. Make sure that you use a speed test website which uses servers located in your country as otherwise the results will be distorted as the information will have a lot further to travel.
Choosing an ISP
The easiest way to choose a broadband ISP, on top of using a broadband speed test, is to go online and use a price comparison website. You`ll be able to compare and contrast packages offered by many different providers and rank them based on speed, price, contract length and many other variables. You`ll also be able to check the availability of the different broadband services in your area to see what options you have.

With the power to carry the internet with you everywhere and the ability to listen to music privately via ear buds, is one of the biggest factors to why internet radio will dominate the future. According to Forbes, internet radio is listened to by more 18 to 24 year-olds than FM radio stations; most commonly Pandora or YouTube. In fact, they listen to internet radio more than they watch TV, which was unheard of in the 90s.
In the early days of radio, listeners tuned in for more than just music. The radio was their form on entertainment. This is how they received their news, weather, and activities going on around the area. This slowly faded with televisions because watching was more entertaining than listening, and color TV added more hype to the TV generation. Similar experiences can be found with the internet. It started with dial-up connections and then slowly became more efficient with cable and satellite options. With the speed upgrades, users became more dependent on their fast connections for downloads and streaming.
The time is now for internet radio because all of the technology is in place, and streaming servers are becoming more affordable for small radio stations to open shop. YouTube and Pandora are algorithms and do not represent the spirit and personalities of a live DJ. Internet radio is also easier for listeners to communicate with through apps and social media. Lastly, that old time experience of community and local news and events will always be needed in towns around the world. Local people and local music can once again thrive and keep communities connected.


According to the ITU standard, there are seven types of optical fiber: G651, G652, G653, G654, G655, G656, G657.Let’s get to know it together and don’t get lost in the work.
G.651 fiber (multimode gradient refractive index fiber)
- Suitable for wavelengths of 850nm/1310nm.
- Mainly used in local area networks, not suitable for long distance transmission
G.652 (dispersion non-shifted single-mode fiber)
- Zero-dispersion wavelength of about 1310 nm, but can also be used in the 1550 nm wavelength range.
- Optical fibers are limited in the direction of coherent transmission due to their transmission loss and nonlinear characteristics.
- The most widely used optical fiber
G.653 (dispersion-shifted fiber)
- Dispersion is minimized around 550nm wavelength, thus minimizing optical loss.
- Due to the four-wave mixing caused by the DWDM system channel nonlinear interference is very serious, low power into the fiber, is not conducive to more than 2.5G multi-channel WDM transmission.
- Ideal for long-distance single-channel optical communication systems.
G.654 (cutoff wavelength shifted fiber)
- Lowest attenuation coefficient at 1550nm (about 15% lower than G652, 6653, G655 fibers), so it is called low attenuation fiber, dispersion coefficient is the same as G652.
- Due to the high-order mode of the multi-optical interference on the system transmission will have a greater impact, and at the same time it can not meet the requirements of the future expansion of transmission to the S, E, O-band.
- Mainly used in submarine or terrestrial long-distance transmission
G.655 (Non-Zero Dispersion Shifted Fiber)
- 1550nm dispersion is close to zero, but not zero.
- Due to the small dispersion of the fiber, the effective cross-sectional area is small, resulting in a strong nonlinear effect, the transmission distance is only 60% of G.652.
- Early used in WDM and long distance fiber optic cable
G.656 (Low Slope Non-Zero Dispersion Shifted Fiber)
- Attenuation is low at 1450nm -1625nm, but dispersion is too low for WDM systems when wavelength is less than 1530nm
- Ensures transmission performance over a wider wavelength range in DWDM systems.
G.657 (bend-resistant optical fiber)
- Bend loss insensitive fiber with minimum bend radius
- The most commonly used fiber optic cable for FTTH to the home
The above seven is my summary of the knowledge about optical fiber, of course, the technology is iterating, such as the future will be launched hollow core fiber, SDM fiber, etc. pay attention to me, continue to take you into the world of fiber optic communications.

Internet of Things (IoT)
The IoT describes physical objects that are embedded with sensors, software and another technology that connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the Internet or other communications network.
These objects have been making people’s lives easier of people in the last century. We can see since automatic soap dispenser to alexa or google homes.
Pro’s and Cons
- Monitor: The primary and main advantage of IoT is monitoring. It helps us to track the quantity of temperature our house needed, the expiration of our products
- Accessibility:The act to have the information in real time
- Speed: All this data pouring in enables us to complete multiple tasks with amazing speed
- Better Time Management: We can look up the latest news on our phones during our daily commute, or check a blog about our favorite pastime, purchase an item in an online shop, we can do almost all the things from the palm of our hands.
- Data Breach: Our personal data is more exposed. For example the credit and debit cards
- Dependence: We have become primarily dependent on the IoT’s everyday usage. Business and private lives are also dependent on IoT.
- Complexity: The IOT devices makes our lives more easily but in the another hand, if by mistake the device is damaged, we don’t know how to repair. For example: the temperature in a house controlled by a iOt device
- Privacy Issues: This can be the biggest disadvantage of IoT as people are losing their privacy by adopting and using these smart devices in their lives
- Wereables: These are devices that we are using in our daily lives like virtual glasses, fitness bans, smartphones, etc. These are small and energy efficient devices, which are equipped with sensors, with the necessary hardware for measurements and readings, and with software to collect and organize data and information about users.
2. Health: These are devices that usualy we can find in hospitals like sensors connected to patients to check their vital signs, hospital beds, giving way to smart beds, equipped with special sensors to observe vital signs, blood pressure, oximeter and body temperature.
3. Traffic Monitoring:
The Internet of things can be very useful in the management of vehicular traffic in large cities, contributing to the concept of smart cities
Smart farms are a fact. The quality of soil is crucial to produce good crops, and the Internet of Things offers farmers the possibility to access detailed knowledge and valuable information of their soil condition.
Privacy & security concerns in IoT
Actually, this is one of the biggest problems with iot devices.
IoT security hacks can happen in anywhere and in any industry, from a smart home to a manufacturing plant to a connected car. The severity of impact depends greatly on the individual system, the data collected and/or the information it contains.
Some problems that are more frequent to see:
- Incorrect access control: A common problem is that all devices of the same model are delivered with the same default password (e.g. “admin” or “password123”). The firmware and default settings are usually identical for all devices of the same model.
- Overly large attack surface: Each connection that can be made to a system provides a new set of opportunities for an attacker to discover and exploit vulnerabilities. The more services a device offers over the Internet, the more services can be attacked. This is known as the attack surface. Reducing the attack surface is one of the first steps in the process of securing a system.
- Outdated software: As vulnerabilities in software are discovered and resolved, it is important to distribute the updated version to protect against the vulnerability.
- Lack of encryption: When a device communicates in plain text, all information being exchanged with a client device or backend service can be obtained by a ‘Man-in-the-Middle’ (MitM). Anyone who is capable of obtaining a position on the network path between a device and its endpoint can inspect the network traffic and potentially obtain sensitive data such as login credentials.

SOPAC GNSS Network in Southern California
SOPAC maintains an active continuous GNSS network of 48 stations in southern California (Table), as part of the California Real Time Network (CRTN) The first stations were installed in 1991 as part of the Permanent GPS Geodetic Array project (PGGA – Bock et al., 1997), followed by the Southern California Integrated GPS Network project (SCIGN), starting in 1997. A number of stations were later transitioned to the Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO), starting in 2004. All stations have been upgraded to high-rate sampling (1Hz) and real-time data transmission, starting ~2010. The stations, including those operated by UNAVCO’s Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) and the USGS Pasadena Office, make use of UCSD’s HPWRENcommunications backbone. Data from the Orange County Real Time Network (OCRTN) stations are transmitted through a dedicated radio network installed by SOPAC to the Orange County Department of Public Works and re-transmitted to SOPAC via the Internet.
Parts of the network have been upgraded to seismogeodetic capability (Bock et al., 2011) with SIO Geodetic Module and MEMS Accelerometer packages (GAPs– Saunders et al., 2016) and to GPS meteorology (Moore et al., 2015) with SIO MEMS Met packages.

Let’s talk about the network that connects you to the world. That network is changing, as the new 5G technology rolls out around the world. China is leading the way, with the Europe and the US working to catch up. Successfully switching the major wireless networks to 5G will bring a host of advantages: higher connection speeds, lower latency, clearer signals, and far better data carrying capacity.
Carrying capacity is likely the key to success for 5G. The new networks will permit larger and faster data transfers, allowing technologies from the Internet of Things to autonomous vehicles to mature. It will be a world-changing event, and it is taking shape right before our eyes.
As 5G networks expand, and more customers, both business and personal, switch over, the companies that supply the gear will stand to boom. 5G will require everything from new silicon semiconductor chips to signal testing equipment to smartphone handsets. Radio frequency finding technology is involved, as well as more venerable tech, such as connecting cables.
With this in mind, using the TipRanks platform, we’ve located two stocks that stand to gain from the 5G revolution that is building up. They hold different niches in the wireless tech sector, one in chips and the other in microwave networks.
Qorvo, Inc. (QRVO)
We’ll start with Qorvo, a large-cap semiconductor chip company based in Greensboro, North Carolina. Qorvo saw $3.24 billion in total revenues for the calendar year 2020, making it a mid-sized competitor in the chip industry. The company’s main product focus is chipsets for use in radio frequency transmitters – a key component of broadband and wifi networks.
Qorvo has been neck-deep in 5G for several years now, producing RF systems capable of operating at 5G’s frequencies – and making the new wireless a reality. The company has been developing sub-6 GHz and cmWave/mmWave wireless infrastructure products that are needed to roll out the systems. Qorvo’s product line also includes a full portfolio of RF devices, such as phase shifters, switchers, and integrated modules, that are necessary for supporting networks – and that work with 5G.
In the most recent quarterly release, for Q4 of fiscal 2021, Qorvo edged over the expectations and showed total revenue of $1.73 billion. This marked the third consecutive quarter of revenues exceeding $1 billion. The top line was up 36% year-over-year. The revenue print was driven by the company’s Mobile Products segment, which brought in $808 million of the revenue total, an increase of 45% yoy.
All of this caught the attention of Needham's Rajvindra Gill, who titled his latest report on this stock, ‘5G Momentum Continues.’ The 5-star analyst wrote: “Mobile Products continues to be driven by 5G handset content increases and expected higher volumes in CY21. Infrastructure & Defense is expected to see a better 2H21 after a slower 1H start, with more MIMO deployments in the US expected. Utilization is expected to rise over the year, which will help sustain margins.”
To this end, Gill rates QRVO shares a Buy, and his $245 price target implies a one-year upside of 33%. (To watch Gill’s track record, click here)
Overall, this stock has a Strong Buy rating from the analyst consensus, based on 12 reviews with a breakdown of 10 to 2 in Buy versus Hold. The shares are priced at $184.27 and the average price target of $218.83 suggests ~19% upside in the next 12 months. (See QRVO stock analysis on TipRanks)
Aviat Networks (AVNW)
Next up, Aviat, is a provider of microwave networking solutions. The company’s products include hardware – such as microwave routers and switches, trunking units, and indoor and outdoor radios – as well as software network management, stabilization, and automation. Aviat’s customer base include both public and private entities: the State of Oregon, the City of San Jose, Verizon, and US Cellular, to name just a few.
Aviat is deeply involved in the development and rollout of 5G networks. The company’s networking solutions are integral to public expansion of rural broadband, a market that is benefitting from heavy governmental funding.
The company is not just expanding 5G in the US. Aviat in April announced an agreement with Africell, a mobile provider with over 12 million subscribers across Africa, for provision of a ‘5G-ready end-to-end disaggregated transmission network’ that will cross international borders on the continent.
In early May, the company reported its fiscal Q3 earnings, with both EPS and revenue beating the consensus estimates. EPS, at 49 cents, was 22 cents better than expected, a beat of 81%, while the $66.4 million in revenue was 5% better than expected.
AVNW shares have been gaining steam in the 12 months, rising ~418%. Yet, Northland analyst Tim Savageaux believes there’s still some fuel left in the tank. The 5-star analyst rates AVNW an as Outperform (i.e. Buy) and his $45 price target implies room for a 16% upside from current levels. (To watch Savageaux’s track record, click here)
“We believe these customers [5G and rural broadband] could contribute ~$100M over 5 years with initial orders already in hand, with other 5G driven opptys in the US and globally potentially adding to that,” Savageaux opined.
Looking at the rest of this year, Savageaux added, “The company noted positive book to bill and backlog remaining above $200M, leading us to increase our FY21 revenue to ~$270M implying … 13% revenue growth for the year.”
Some stocks fly under the radar, and AVNW is one of those. Savageaux’s is the only review on record for this small-cap network provider. (See AVNW stock analysis at TipRanks)

The Gigabit Challenge was an interesting contest for business plans that take advantage Google’s upcoming 1 gigabit fiber optic network in Kansas City. Unfortunately no local companies won, and the most of the prize money is flowing of town and out of the country.
The challenge was hyped as a way to generate new ideas for the super fast network and jump start local tech business in anticipation of Google Fiber going live later this year. Top prizes went to companies from Chicago and New York, one of which plans to use the prize money to open an office in Berlin. The only “local” winner is a Grandview company, located outside the initial Google Fiber service area.
The winning companies will ultimately have to setup at least some local presence in order to connect the network. But putting a server in a local data center is a far cry from creating new jobs or having any real impact on the technology or business community.

Serial Communication using MSP430 UART(USCI_A)
In MSP430 serial communication is handled by an on chip peripheral called USCI (Universal Serial Communications Interface).The peripheral is designed in such a way that it can handle multiple serial communication formats ,synchronous as well as asynchronous like SPI,I2C,IrDA,UART etc.MSP430G2553 has two USCI modules names as USCI_A0 and USCI_B0 for handling multiple communication formats. USCI_A0 can be configured to handle LIN,IrDA,SPI and asynchronous serial communication (UART) while USCI_B0 can handle SPI and I2C.
In this article we we will configure USCI_A0 in MSP430G2553 to handle asynchronous serial communication or commonly known as UART mode.The UART mode uses two pins to transmit(UCA0TXD) and receive data(UCA0RXD) .Asynchronous serial communication is widely used for communicating with external devices like PC/Laptops,GSM modems,GPS modules etc.It also forms the basis for many standard protocols like RS232,RS422,RS485 etc.
You can see the (very) simplified block diagram of USCI_A0 in UART mode below.
In this example we are going to configure the MSP430 UART to transmit and receive at 9600bps with 8 databits,no Parity and 1 Stop bit .In the above figure you can see that the USCI can source clock from either SMCLK or ACLK to generate BRCLK which is then used to generate the required timings.UC0CLK is external clock sourced from outside through MSP430 pins.
Here I am going to configure the DCO to generate 1MHz and use SMCLK as UART clock.To generate accurate 1MHz clock I am going to load the caliberation constants into the Basic clock system register and DCO control registers like this
if (CALBC1_1MHZ == 0xFF) // If calibration constant erased
DCOCTL = 0; // Select lowest DCOx and MODx settings
CALBC1_1MHZ is a constant defined in the header file msp430g2553.h,inside the header file you can find the constants for configuring the DCO to operate at 1,8,12 and 6MHz (CALBC1_1MHZ,CALBC1_8MHZ,CALBC1_12MHZ,CALBC1_16MHZ).
Registers Required for UART
After configuring the system clock to 1MHz, we are going to look into the registers and bits that are important for configuring the UART.Please note that only relevant registers and bits will be explained .
1) UCAxCTL0 (USCI_Ax Control register0) here we are dealing with USC1_A0 so UCA0CTL0 -This register controls the settings for Parity selection,direction of data transmission(LSB or MSB first),character length,no of stop bits,modes of serial transmission.
The important bits are
|UCPEN||Used for enabling or disabling parity (In our case no parity so UCPEN = 0)|
|UCPAR||Used for selecting between EVEN or ODD parity (not used since we are disabling parity)|
|UCMSB||Controls the direction of receive and transmit shift register(here LSB first)|
|UC7BIT||Selects the character length 7/8 bit(we are using 8 bit so 0)|
|UCSPB||Number of stopbits (here 1 so UCSPB = 0)|
|UCMODEx||2 bits used to select the asynchronous mode when UCSYNC = 0.Here we are using the default UART mode.Other modes are used with multiprocessor serial communication and for automatic baudrate detection|
|UCSYNC||Selecting between asynchronous(UART) and synchronous modes(SPI)|
In our case ,all the bits in UCA0CTL0 are zero so we won't be configuring that register in our program.
2) UCAxCTL1 here UCA0CTL1-The two important bits contained in this register are
|UCSSELx||These bits are used to select the clock source to the USCI module.In our case we are going to select SMCLK @1MHz.|
|UCSWRST||This bit is used to put the USCI module in reset state .It is recommended to put the USCI module in reset state before making any changes to the registers.|
3) UCAxSTAT here UCA0STAT-The two important bits contained in this register are
|UCLISTEN||This bit is used to select the internal loop back mode.In loop back mode UCAxTXD is internally fed back to the receiver.|
|UCBUSY||Indicates if a transmit or receive operation is in progress.|
4) UCAxBR0 (UCA0BR0) and UCAxBR1 (UCA0BR1) are two 8 bit registers which are used to set the clock prescalar value for the Baud rate generator.
5) UCAxTXBUF (UCA0TXBUF) 8 bit data register for holding the byte to be transmitted by the MSP430 UART.
6) UCAxRXBUF (UCA0RXBUF) 8 bit data register that stores the received byte.
Configuring the Baud rate
MSP430 data sheet has an indepth description about configuring the baud rate for various modes.Easiest way to configure the baud rate of a MSP430 device is to use the Baud rate selection table listed in the usermanual.Just find out the UCBRx values corrosponding to your BRCLK frequency and the baud rate you wish to use .After finding out values just put them in the UCA0BR0 and UCA0BR1 register to configure the baud rate.
In our case we are using SMCLK @ 1MHz as BRCLK and 9600bps as the baud rate .Now check the table for the corresponding UCBRx value (here 104) and put them in UCA0BR0 and UCA0BR1 registers to configure the baud rate.You can find the below table in the MSP430x2xxx usermanual.
Another register you should consider while configuring the baud rate is the UCAxMCTL (UCA0MCTL) which is used to select the modulation stage.Put the UCBRSx value (here 1) corresponding to the selected baud rate in the UCA0MCTL register to configure the modulation stage
Interrupts of MSP430 UART
MSP430G2553 has a transmit interrupt as well as a data received interrupt with seperate interrupt locations.The transmit and reception intterrupts have to be enabled in the IE2 register before they can be used.Two flags in the IFG2 register are used to indicate whether data is transmitted or received.
|UCA0TXIE||Used to enable/disable the transmit interrupt.|
|UCA0RXIE||Used to enable/disable the receive interrupt.|
|UCA0TXIFG||USCI_A0 transmit interrupt flag is set when UCA0TXBUF is empty|
|UCA0RXIFG||USCI_A0 receive interrupt flag is set when UCA0RXBUF have received a complete character.you should remember to clear the flag inside the interrupt service routine manually.|
Writing the Code
One problem with writing code for communicating with two devices is that ,it is quite difficult to pin point the problem when something goes wrong .The problem could be with your code ,or the communication cable or the code running on the other device etc.In order to make it easy for developing UART code,MSP430 has Loop Back mode.In Loop back mode the output of the transmitter is internally connected to the input of the receiver,so what ever the MSP430 transmits is received back.
In this example we are going to write simple communication program which uses the loop back mode and communicates at 9600bps (8N1).Here I am using IAR embedded workbench for MSP430 from IAR.If you are not familiar with IAR EW you can check out a short tutorial here .
The code given below will configure the UART and transmit an ascii character 'A' .The UART is configured in loop back mode so 'A' is received back and is stored in UCA0RXBUF.LED connected to P1.0 is lighted when 'A' is transmitted and LED connected to P1.6 is lighted when 'A' is received back.
DCOCTL = 0; // Select lowest DCOx and MODx settings
#pragma vector = USCIAB0TX_VECTOR
#pragma vector = USCIAB0RX_VECTOR
After the WDT is stopped .The DCO is configured to produce clock at 1MHz using the calliberation constants.The ports P1.0 and P1.6 are configured as outputs to light up the respective LED' during transmission and reception.
In MSP430G2553, P1.1 and P1.2 are configured as UCA0RXD and UCA0TXD using their respective PXSEL registers.The clock for USCI_A0 in UART mode is sourced from SMCLK and other parameters are configured.
The UART module is configured to act in loop back mode using UCA0STAT |= UCLISTEN;
Here I am using both transmit and receive interrupts which are enabled in IE2 .GIE bit is also enabled.
UART transmits a character 'A' by writing it into UCA0TXBUF.After the character is transmitted,Transmit interrupt is generated which lights up the P1.0 LED.
The character is received back UCA0RXBUF and a recceive interrupt is generated which lights up the P1.6 LED.
You should remember to clear the UCA0RXIFG flag inside the ISR manually.
After you have successfully run the above program in Launchpad you can remove the loop back mode by commenting out UCA0STAT |= UCLISTEN; .After that line is removed, RXD and TXD pins are now routed to P1.1 and P1.2.You can connect P1.1 and P1.2 and run the program,the two LED connected to P1.0 and P1.6 should light up.
Interfacing MSP430 UART with the Real World
After you have managed to successfully communicate with the launchpad, its time to interface the launchpad to external devices like a PC ,GSM modem or a GPS module which supports a UART.In this example we will interface the MSP430 launchpad with a PC/Laptop.
One way to connect your launchpad to a PC is to use standard DB9 RS232 serial port,one problem with DB9 port is that it has become legacy hardware and most of the newer PC's do not have it.When you are connecting a PC with a microcontroller board like Launchpad ,you have to use a Null Modem Connection.
In a null modem connection the TXD pin from PC is connected to the RXD pin of the microcontroller (here UCA0RXD) and the RXD pin of PC is connected to the TXD pin of the microcontroller (here UCA0TXD).So whatever PC transmits through its TXD pin goes straight to the receive pin of microcontroller and vice versa.
Now when you are interfacing with a PC RS232 serial port ,you require atleast 3 lines RXD ,TXD and Ground to communicate with the Launchpad board.The RS232 signals coming from the PC serial serial port is in the range of +15 to -15V so you can't connect it directly to the microcontroller pins.You have to build a RS232 level converter(for eg MAX232) to convert between RS232 and TTL signal levels.The below figure shows the connection diagram between an MSP430 Launch pad and PC DB9 serial port.You can see that UCA0RXD (Blue Wire) the receive pin of microcontroller is connected to the Transmit pin of PC serial port.
As I have already mentioned DB9 ports are being replaced with USB ports in most PC's and Laptops,So another way to interface the Launchpad with PC is by using an USB to Serial converter board.USB to Serial Converter boards provide a virtual serial port which you can read and write like a standard serial port.When you read or write to the virtual serial port,the data you send is then passed theough the standard USB port to the Converter chip (eg FT232) which translates to serial data stream.
Her I am using USB2SERIAL USB to Serial/RS232/RS485 converter to interface the launchpad with my Laptop.The TTL outputs of TX and RX pins of FT232 are available outside which are then connected to UCA0RXD and UCA0TXD pins of MSP430G2553 respectivly as shown in the below table .USB2SERIAL boards has 3.3V /5V signal level select which makes it safe to interface directly with MSP430 (3.3V logic) pins.
While communicating,you should have some sort of terminal program like PuTTY (on PC) for listening in on the bytes send by the launchpad board.Open "Device Manager" on Windows to find out the COM port number of your virtual serial port and configure PuTTY to communicate with that port.If you are interested in setting up serial connection with other Operating systems like Linux , you can check out my serial communication tutorials.PuTTY is availablle for Linux also.
Using MSP430 Launchpad Serial Port
In Launchpad, the TUSB3410 chip( inside the emulator section) can act as a USB to Serial converter too.If you check under "Device Manager" you can see that as "MSP430 Application UART COMxx",highlighted in red (here COM13).The one below that is the COM port number corresponding to the USBto Serial Converter (USB2SERIAL).
If you are a Linux user,Launchpad serial port (based on TUSB3410 chip) is detected by the Linux OS but I was unable to communicate with it.
Inorder to use the Launchpad Serial port you chould configure the jumpers on the board first.Near the Emulator section there are 5 jumpers connecting the Emulator section to the MSP430G2553 chip.You should put the RXD and TXD pins in the Hardware UART mode (HW UART ) as shown in the below figure.
After you have configured the jumpers in the board ,Launch PuTTY or any other terminal program of your choice.Put the COM port number corresponding to your launchpad serial port (here COM13) ,select the baudrate (here 9600) and open the connection.
Now download the program we discussed above and reset the board.The MSP430 will transmit a character 'A" which will be dispalyed on the PuTTY terminal as shown in the figure below.(I have reseted the board a few times). If you press any key on the keyboard,it will be transmitted to the MSP430 board and the LED connected to P1.6 will toggle.
So there its is communicating between a PC and a Launchpad development board.
One problem with serial communication format like RS232 and USB is there limited range,these standards are not suitable for transmitting data over several 100's of meters.If you want to transmit data over long distances using twisted pair cables you have to use RS485 protocol.

If a number you don't recognize calls, lets the phone ring once and hangs up, you have reason to be skeptical.
The Tazewell County Sheriff's Office said there is a phone scam now hitting Central Illinois. The caller will often have a local area code (309, 217 or 815) to make the recipient of the call more likely to call back.
This is the latest twist on an old phone scam that can cause consumers to rack up high fees.
The Federal Communications Commission said if you return the call, you might be connected to an international number that charges a large fee just for calling, and per-minute fees for remaining on the line.
Other area codes used by the scammers include 809, 284, 876, and other international area codes.

A network switch is a device used to connect multiple computers and other network devices together. It serves as the hub of a local area network (LAN) and enables data to be sent between connected devices. It works by using Ethernet cables to create a connection between two or more computers, allowing them to share information and resources such as printers, scanners, or an internet connection. Network switches are typically categorized into two types: layer 2 switches and layer 3 switches. Layer 2 switches are used for basic functions such as forwarding data frames between different ports on the same LAN, while layer 3 switches can route traffic between different networks in addition to forwarding data frames on the same LAN. Network switches can also be compared with routers; however, routers are designed for larger networks that span multiple locations while network switches are designed for smaller local networks within one location.
In this article, we will take a look at the basics of network switching and discuss the benefit of a 10G network switch. We will also explore some common use cases for these devices.
What to Look For in a Good Quality 10G Network Switch?
When it comes to choosing a 10G network switch for the telecom industry, there are several factors to consider:
Switch type: Depending on the specific networking requirements, a layer 2 or layer 3 switch may be more suitable.
Port density: The number of ports on the switch will depend on the number of devices that need to be connected.
Speed: While all 10G switches can transmit data at 10Gbps, the speed of the switch’s backplane and forwarding rate can affect overall performance.
Quality of Service (QoS): QoS is essential for prioritizing network traffic and ensuring that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth.
Power consumption: 10G switches can consume a lot of power, so energy-efficient models may be more cost-effective in the long run.

When it comes to the telecom industry, 10G Network Switches are the latest and greatest technology. These switches provide high-performance networking solutions for telecom companies. But what makes them so special? What are the key features of these high-performance 10G Network Switches?
Managed vs. unmanaged switches are one of the key considerations when it comes to selecting a switch for telecoms. Managed switches offer more control over the network and can be used for more complex configurations, while unmanaged switches are simpler and easier to use but lack advanced features. Both types of switches have their own advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to know which type is best suited to your requirements.
In addition to managed vs. unmanaged options, there are several other features that make 10G Network Switches a great choice for telecoms. These include support for multiple protocols, advanced security features, low latency performance, high-speed data transfer rates, scalability options, and much more. All these
The Benefits of 10G Network Switches for the Telecom Industry
Apart from the benefits mentioned earlier, 10G network switches can also improve network security by enabling network segmentation. Segmentation involves dividing a network into smaller subnets, which reduces the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches. With 10G switches, businesses can easily segment their networks and control access to sensitive data and applications.
Moreover, 10G switches are also essential for high-performance computing (HPC) applications, such as scientific simulations, data analysis, and machine learning. HPC applications require large amounts of data to be processed quickly and accurately. 10G switches can provide the necessary bandwidth and low-latency connectivity required for HPC applications to function optimally.
In addition, 10G switches are also critical for virtualization technologies, such as virtual machines (VMs) and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). These technologies require fast and reliable networking to ensure that users can access their virtual resources quickly and efficiently. 10G switches can provide the necessary bandwidth and quality of service (QoS) to support virtualization workloads.
The telecom industry, which includes internet service providers (ISPs), data centers, and cloud providers, relies heavily on high-speed networking to deliver fast and reliable connectivity to customers. With the advent of bandwidth-intensive applications such as video streaming, online gaming, and virtual reality, the demand for higher network speeds has never been greater.
This is where 10G network switches come in. A 10G switch can transmit data at a rate of 10 gigabits per second (Gbps), which is ten times faster than the speed of a standard gigabit switch. This increased bandwidth provides several benefits for the telecom industry, such as:
Faster data transfer: With 10G switches, large files can be transferred in seconds, improving productivity and reducing latency.
Better scalability: 10G switches can handle more network traffic, allowing businesses to scale up their operations without having to upgrade their network infrastructure.
Improved reliability: 10G switches are designed to handle the high-volume network traffic and are less prone to congestion and packet loss.
Lower costs: While the upfront cost of a 10G switch may be higher than that of a standard gigabit switch, the long-term cost savings from increased efficiency and scalability can be significant.
In conclusion, 10G network switches are redefining the telecom industry by providing faster, more reliable, and scalable networking solutions. With the increasing demand for high-speed connectivity and bandwidth-intensive applications, upgrading to a 10G switch is becoming increasingly necessary for businesses in the telecom industry. By choosing a good quality 10G switch that meets their specific requirements, businesses can take advantage of the benefits of faster data transfer, better scalability, improved reliability, and lower costs. As the telecom industry continues to evolve, 10G network switches will play a crucial role in enabling businesses to meet the growing demands of their customers and stay competitive in the marketplace.

When you connect to a VPN, a “tunnel” is created between your device and the VPN server. All of your internet traffic is routed through this tunnel, so your data is secure from prying eyes. But how does this tunneling process work?
Checkout this video:
Introduction to VPN Tunneling
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a way of using a public telecommunication network, such as the Internet, to provide private resources and user access. A VPN can connect multiple sites, over either private or public networks. The encryption of communications between VPN sites provides security and protection against eavesdropping.
Tunneling is a process of encapsulating data within another data packet. In the context of a VPN connection, tunneling allows private network traffic to be transmitted over a public network, such as the Internet.
There are two types of tunneling: layer 2 tunneling protocol (L2TP) and point-to-point tunneling protocol (PPTP). L2TP is more secure than PPTP, but both protocols provide similar functionality.
In order to set up a VPN connection, you will need to have access to a VPN server. Many VPN providers offer both L2TP and PPTP access to their servers. Once you have access to a server, you can use either L2TP or PPTP to connect to it.
L2TP uses UDP port 1701, while PPTP uses TCP port 1723. To connect to a VPN server using L2TP, you will need to use an L2TP client software program. There are many different L2TP client programs available, both free and paid. Once you have installed and configured an L2TP client program on your computer, you can use it to connect to an L2TP-enabled VPN server.
To connect to a VPN server using PPTP, you will need to use a PPTP client software program. There are many different PPTP client programs available, both free and paid. Once you have installed and configured a PPTP client program on your computer, you can use it to connect to a PPTP-enabled VPN server.
How Tunneling Is Accomplished in a VPN
Tunneling is a process of encapsulating data within another data packet. When you tunnel data, you add an extra layer of protection because the data is less likely to be tampered with or intercepted. VPNs use tunneling to protect your data as it travels across the internet.
Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)
Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is a tunneling protocol used to support virtual private networks (VPNs) or as part of the delivery of services by ISPs. It does not provide any encryption or confidentiality by itself. Rather, it relies on an encryption protocol that it passes within the tunnel to provide privacy.
L2TP was first published in 1999 as an enhancement to PPTP. In 2005, the L2TP over IPsec standard was published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Today, L2TP is considered more secure than PPTP because it uses stronger encryption algorithms and offers additional security features.
L2TP is typically used with the IPsec protocol to protect data transmissions over public networks such as the Internet. When used in this way, L2TP is often referred to as L2TP/IPsec (layer 2 tunneling protocol/internet protocol security).
To set up an L2TP/IPsec VPN, you will need the following:
-A router that supports L2TP/IPsec connections
-A computer or mobile device with an operating system that supports L2TP/IPsec
-An Internet connection
-The IP addresses of the VPN server and your computer or mobile device
-The preshared key for your router (this is usually provided by your ISP)
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a method for implementing virtual private networks. PPTP uses a control channel over an IP network, as well as GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) to encapsulate PPP frames. PPTP has been implemented on a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, and iOS.
When using PPTP, a VPN client first establishes a connection to a VPN server. The VPN client then authenticates with the server and negotiates a security policy. After the security policy is negotiated, the VPN client and server use GRE to encapsulate and send data packets. Data packets that are sent over the IP network are encapsulated with a GRE header and trailer.
GRE is a tunneling protocol that can encapsulate a variety of protocols, including IP, inside of it. When using GRE, each data packet is assigned a sequence number. The VPN client or server can use this sequence number to reassemble data packets that have been split into multiple pieces.
The use of GRE allows PPTP to tunnel other protocols besides IP, such as AppleTalk orIPX/SPX . In addition, GRE can be used to tunnel multicast traffic .
Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP)
SSTP uses a SSL/TLS connection which offers a higher level of security by encrypting all traffic going through the tunnel. To prevent tampering and ensure that only authorized users can access the network, SSTP uses both server and client authentication. This two-way authentication process ensures that only authorized users can gain access to the network and that data passing through the tunnel is not tampered with.
To set up an SSTP connection, the user first needs to obtain a SSL/TLS certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). The user then needs to install the certificate on both the client and server machines. Once the certificate is installed, the user can configure the VPN software to use SSTP as the tunneling protocol.
SSTP is only available on Windows Vista SP1 and later or Windows Server 2008 and later.
Internet Protocol Security (IPsec)
Internet Protocol security (IPsec) is a secure method of data transmittal that uses encryption and other security measures to preserve the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data in transit. IPsec is often used in Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to provide a secure connection between two or more networks, or between a network and an individual user.
Tunneling is the process of encapsulating data in one protocol so that it can be transmitted over another protocol. In tunneling, the original data packet is encapsulated in a new packet with a new header that contains instructions for how the packet should be routed. The receiving computer strips off the new header and forwards the original data packet to its destination according to the instructions in the original header.
Tunneling is a key component of IPsec because it allows data to be securely transmitted over public networks such as the Internet. Without tunneling, data would have to be sent in plain text, which would make it vulnerable to interception and tampering. By encapsulating data in an IPsec tunnel, businesses can create VPNs that allow employees to securely connect to their corporate network from anywhere in the world.
There are two main ways to accomplish tunneling with IPsec: Transport Mode and Tunnel Mode.
In Transport Mode, only the data payload is encrypted; the headers are left intact. This is typically used for communicating between two hosts, such as when an employee uses a VPN client to connect to their company’s network from their home computer.
In Tunnel Mode, both the data payload and headers are encrypted. This is typically used for creating site-to-site VPNs, where traffic from one network is routed through an encrypted tunnel to another network.
Tunneling is the process of establishing and maintaining a logical network connection (usually referred to as a “virtual” connection) between two physically separate networks. A VPN tunnel encrypts your data traffic, providing a secure connection between your device and the VPN server. Once your data reaches the VPN server, it decrypts the data and forwards it on to its destination.

As we are finishing up with the school year, we have learned just how vital internet access is to students. For those in the eastern half of Hendricks County, internet access is second nature. We use it to stream movies, play online video games, Zoom meetings, and complete school work with the myriad of available online resources. Many in the western half of the county are not so lucky. Internet access is limited to many. With families sharing home internet access between multiple students, the bandwidth quickly begins to slow down.
Internet broadband speeds are getting faster every year. More people in the urban sectors of the nation enjoy the increasingly faster speeds as they are rolled out. This allows many to work from home, educate their children quickly, and stream entertainment with very little reduction in speed. This is not the case for those in rural regions who are at the mercy of the larger Internet Service Providers (ISPs), who control the market through large corporate funds and direct access to federal and state legislators.
Some are looking to the emerging 5G wireless connection as the answer to many rural Americans in order to close the technology gap. 5G has its limits. It does provide much higher internet speeds but has a shorter range. 5G will use existing cell towers, but more towers will need to be constructed to spread the range throughout rural America. Also, the technology is still being developed. Even after development is complete, wireless providers will have to invest in more infrastructure to bring 5G to rural Americans. This also means higher prices. Hendricks County will be no different. County residents will have to wait for 5G to answer many of their needs, but at a price that may not be obtainable.
A more immediate answer for Hendricks County is a fiber optic network directly to the home. Hendricks Power is teaming up with Endeavor Communications to bring a fiber optic network to over 5,000 households in the next four years. This is a large investment for the co-op to provide its members with a service they have been requesting. Residents and businesses need faster internet access. Residents need it to educate their children, and to have an option to work from home. Businesses need the access to compete in an ever-growing digital economy. Hendricks Power is stepping up to invest in the local rural economy when many of the larger corporations have largely ignored them.
It could take over a decade for Hendricks Power to see profit from this investment. The state has grant funding set aside in the expansion of rural broadband, but the county should help as well. Through tax exemptions of property and grants, the Board of Commissioners can help speed up the process of expanding rural broadband here. Hendricks County is halfway there in their support by granting a tax exemption, but we should also consider a grant to Hendricks Power to help speed up their fiber optic network. It may not be at the level of the state’s grants, but we still need to help where we can. It would be much faster and easier to give the funds immediately instead of waiting on the State.

I remember when I was a kid watching Knight Rider how much I wanted a car that would speak to me, a car that would give me directions, a car that would drive itself. Well, this idea of a real-life KIT is not too farfetched. With today’s in-vehicle navigation and communication systems, this may soon become reality and our marketing may reap the benefits of it.
The technical term for in-vehicle navigation and communication systems is referred to as telematics. Telematics describes many different solutions from the Ford SYNC system, to Mercedes’ mbrace and GM’s OnStar. The goal of these systems is to enhance the driving experience and offer additional functionality. Each shares the ability to employ wireless technology to connect in-vehicle entertainment and information systems to outside networks.
The difference between these various solutions is how the wireless technology is enabled. Some solutions employ an embedded wireless communications module while others make use of the driver’s own cell phone. Today, more telematics systems include in-vehicle Internet access or the ability to connect to a smart phone with Internet access. These new Internet accessible telematics could lead to a wide variety of new services including weather reports, parking information, the nearest electric charging station, the use of Internet radio stations such as Pandora, remote diagnostic information and having your emails read aloud while driving.
The Telematics Market
The market for telematics systems has been growing steadily over the last decade, but a recent report notes that the market for in-vehicle wireless communication devices is about to enter a dynamic growth phase. A report from IMS Research, entitled “The World Market for OE In-Vehicle Telematics Systems,” forecasts that all major automotive manufacturers will sell an increasing number of their vehicles with telematics systems during the next decade. According to the report, globally, the percentage of new vehicles fitted with telematics is forecast to grow from 9% in 2009 to 46% in 2017.” A second report from ABI Research echoes these findings and predicts growth from 37 million telematics users in 2010 to more than 211 million in 2015.
The Future and Digital Marketing Opportunities
BMW’s manager of marketing communications, Patrick McKenna, believes the future of telematics lies with mobile devices such as iPhones and Blackberries. In a recent MediaPost article, McKenna commented that “in-vehicle technology is a two-pronged business for us. First, we are marketers looking at mobile as a way to communicate the BMW brand. The second prong is a car’s relationship to mobile with the car acting as a portal to mobile devices. For many years, lots of technology was fixed, built in and designed to stay with the car. Now, what the car runs will come through a mobile device that stays in your pocket. Those apps run through the car but aren’t based in it,” he said. “Technology inside the car is a challenge partly because when it is fixed in the car and stays with car, it ages and depreciates at a faster rate than the car. If we can rely on mobile devices being operating systems, the car is neutral.”
Understanding that mobile may be the future of telematics, mobile marketing will become an even more important tactic in a digital marketing strategy. Geo-targeted and location-based ads can be used to target specific individuals based on their current location or their destination. Mobile search marketing will also become increasingly important. Envision someone searching for “pizza.” They may see an ad for the nearest pizza shop based on their location. By clicking on the ad, a user will be able to get more information, special offers or coupons, a menu and options such as calling the restaurant. Telematics cannot only provide this information, but it can also provide turn-by-turn directions that deliver the driver right to the restaurant. The future of marketing your business may not only be in the hands of your customers, it may be in their driver’s seat.
So, what about a car that drives itself? Well, of all companies, Google is conducting research and will soon have a real “smart” car. My dream of owning my own KIT may soon be here!
