Wireless Connectivity

Is it Worth Living in The World of Wireless Connectivity?

Nowadays airwaves market is getting bigger and wider. Broadband continues to grow and change. Now we can see its considerable improvements. You may ask what the main improved spheres are. First of all, speed. The 21st century is a century of speed. Speed of transferring or obtaining information is vitally significant at times. The second thing is convenience. It is really nice that someone suits your convenience and you feel comfortable. Finally and probably the most interesting point for people is price rates. These are the three main aspects where we can see that regular movement and as result can trace excellent technical progress.

What does it mean this thing wireless broadband? If we look at this term wireless broadband then we get to realize this unlimited horizon of wireless age. One of the wireless broadband types is mobile broadband. Sure, it is used for mobile phone towers as access point. Though, this specific type of airwaves has a number of different disadvantages that can cause some serious issues for many users. Why? Because of promoting and guarding wireless broadband can decrease and discard already challenged technologies. Let us begin with first one. Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) is the first of those companies that covered rural areas that did not get support by ADSL. Clients used this kind of WISPs and they should have to install a dish on the roof of their houses in turn to get a signal. As a rule this received signal was broadcast from a higher place within this area. And here comes one interesting thing. There had to be a permanent and constant signal from the transmitter to the dish to keep up the connection. Of course from that time wireless broadband has improved much and progressed forward, even though it is still not fairly ideal and perfect as it should be. WiMAX or Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access is one of the newest and most commonly used technologies. So far this technology is going to be the most promising and potential type of wireless broadband. By the way, nowadays it is widely used all around Europe and some arias in Asia.

Replacing ADSL? What it can bring us? To say you the truth but sooner or later ADSL will be replaced. It does not really matter whether WiMAX or other more advanced wireless broadband technologies replace ADSL but this is the fact. Progress will find a more suitable and ideal connection for homes, schools, offices, hospitals… We just have time to wait and see that a wireless connection will offer the following advantages like reliability, stability, convenience and security. And this connection has to provide more pluses in the aspects of speed, convenience and pricing in order to be capable to compete and win a market place. At present many endeavors and efforts are made to develop this area of airwave connection. In our opinion it is only a matter of occasion and luck when one of these efforts is realized. MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) has just announced that source of a wireless connection is power. Definitely in some time wires will be out of date, consequently we will really live in era of wireless connectivity.

New Customer Management Centre to deliver guaranteed SLA wireless networks

MLL Telecom, which specialises in building and operating broadband networks by wireless, today unveiled a new Customer Management Centre (CMC) dedicated to network management, increasing network visibility and proactively identifying and resolving incidents on each customer’s network. The CMC also means that MLL is the first and only wireless specialist to be able to offer guaranteed Service Level Agreement (SLA) network availability on a level with - and sometimes exceeding the availability of - fibre and other wired networks.

MLL has appointed Stephen Berry, who previously managed the Enterprise Network Operations Centre (NOC) for Kingston Communications, to run MLL’s unique CMC. With his extensive management and technical experience, Berry will establish frequent face-to-face customer contact and take the initiative in order to maximise the quality, consistency and functionality of MLL’s service.

Kenny Kamal, Chief Technology Officer of MLL Telecom, said: “Our CMC raises the bar for the wireless industry and sets us apart from our competitors. In a market environment where service is the only differentiator, we will be proactively managing our networks and delivering first class customer service to all clients. Stephen has a proven track record in this field and I am sure our customers will notice the difference his appointment makes very quickly.”

Historically, MLL’s NOC proactively managed customer networks 24x7. The CMC extends this capability by adding bespoke tools developed by MLL, tools which enable it to monitor, provision and repair links remotely, thereby reducing customer downtime and service interruption. In addition, an interactive front end web portal allows customers to log, modify and check the status of incidents. Customers will also automatically receive notification of changes in incident status.

Staffed by technically qualified, ITIL trained engineers; the people that customers speak to at MLL’s CMC are the ones that will actually fix the problems, around the clock. Due to this high level of technical expertise and ITIL service management practices, 88% of incidents are fixed at desk. In addition, MLL’s CMC incorporates a proprietary, remote telemetry system that allows an off-net link to be brought on-net, to give visibility to customers. Bespoke reporting is also available to ensure life cycle modeling, helping customers to understand the life of a product in the field and how much it costs to maintain.

MLL’s Customer Management Centre is ISO 9001:2000 certified.

New Era - Wireless Broadband

Today the United Kingdom steps in a new era - era of airwaves control. This control is managed by the British company - Ofcom. Ofcom – is the independent authority for the UK communications industries as radio, television and all wireless communication services. The company has the right and responsibility to sell the whole spectrum of the nation airwaves as well as providing companies with the licences. This tendency has a great future for the UK plc.

Current position. Fourth auction of radio spectrum licences performed by Ofcom was held in February, 2008. Lucky bidders - business giants such as Orange, T-Mobile and BT competed for 10, 28, 32 and 40 GHz bands. Less famous professionals like MLL Telecom, UK Broadband and Arqiva took part in this auction too. What was remarkable? The amount paid for every MHz was about 178 pounds. It is really –very CHEAP!!! MLL Telecom has been successful, being awarded national spectrum licences in the 32 and 40 GHz bands. MLL Telecom supplies customers with wireless, safe and secure, rapid and cost-beneficial, future-proof connectivity. MLL delivers network to the places where other companies cannot reach. MLL customers include such network operators like BT, Affiniti etc. This auction of 40 MHz is presently in progress development. The range of use is mobile TV, broadcasting. An important aspect of the nature of airwave is its frequency, length and speed. By the length airwaves divide into short, medium or long ones. Now you see that propagation straight depends on the frequency, length and speed. What is valuable here? Normally, the lower the frequency of the wave- the better signals go through the obstacles and enter the buildings. To tell you the truth the prices are really cheap – as this gives an opportunity for the new services to spread out more efficient and quicker.
Future plans. Last week Ofcom declared future plans for the 2.6GHz bands. This spectrum can serve new wireless services. The auction is going to be launched in the summer. The working mechanism of the auction is like that- demand gives born to the market and the last settles on the range of the frequencies and consequently their particular use and apply taking into account the price the bidder is ready to pay for. This technology is rather efficient and dynamic, also saleable. Furthermore, you can use the frequencies or do not use them, but you are forbidden to change the way of usage of the spectrum assets are oriented to. It is really obvious that the atmosphere in this sector has changed rather drastically just in the last 5-8 years within the United Kingdom.

Conclusion. First of all the whole system produces wanted and needed spectrum supplied and guaranteed with the working licences. What is important that this programme is managed by one regulator – Ofcom, so no other sellers or providers. Evidently, the market will widen due to the amount of released spectrum thus provoking the progress of the radio industry in the UK. In the second place, and also significant- is correlation between diverse blocks of bands. For instance, MLL possesses bands of 32GHz and 40GHz – they are perfectly fit WiMAX and mobile service providers. So, MLL need to correlate with the final – consumer in order to use this band more efficient. Consequently, all parts are involved in this process should co- operate and correlate in order to work more effective and successful.
