The Latest Mobile Phone TechnologyThe latest mobile phone handsets provide a wide range of services and technology that allows the user to be as interactive as possible with the global community. These new mobile technologies offer the user accessibility to the worldwide web via WiFi connectivity, download and transfer large amounts of data via high speed connectivity and find a location via satellite with mobile Global Positioning Systems (GPS) devices. Todays mobile phones have now evolved to incorporate all types of online activity, here is a little breakdown of some of the latest technology to grasp the mobile market.
Mobile VoIPA new study from a London-based research firm claims that mobile voice-over-IP will become a mainstream form of communication by the end of 2012, based on rapid growth of voice-over-3G wireless users. Disruptive Analysis said its research shows mobile VoIP will eclipse fixed-mobile convergence services that use dual-mode handsets with voice-over-WiFi capabilities. VoIP has become popular largely because of the cost advantages to consumers over traditional telepone networks. VoIP calls can be placed across the Internet. Most Internet connections are charged using a flat fee structure. Using the Internet connection for both data traffic and voice calls can allow consumers to get rid of one monthly payment. In addition, VoIP plans do not charge a per-minute fee for long distance. For International calling, the monetary savings to the consumer from switching to VoIP technology can be enormous. Today, Skype, TruPhone and a company called Fring already offer VoIP over 3G smartphones and 3G-enabled laptops allowing users to communicate with other VoIP users via the Internet. This service is expected to provide customers with a cheaper alternative to connecting calls via GSM in the near future. HSDPAHigh-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is a 3G (third generation) mobile telephony communications protocol in the High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) family, which allows networks based on Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) to have higher data transfer speeds and capacity. Current HSDPA deployments support down-link speeds of 1.8, 3.6, 7.2 and 14.4 Mbit/s. Further speed increases are planned for the near future. 4G TechnologyWhat is fourth generation (4G) mobile?4G, an acronym for Fourth-Generation Communications System, is a term used to describe the next step in wireless communications. A 4G system will be able to provide a comprehensive IP solution where voice, data and streamed multimedia can be given to users on an “Anytime, Anywhere” basis, and at higher data rates than previous generations. There is no formal definition for what 4G is; however, there are certain objectives that are projected for 4G. These objectives include: that 4G will be a fully IP-based integrated system. This will be achieved after wired and wireless technologies converge and will be capable of providing 100 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s speeds both indoors and outdoors, with premium quality and high security. 4G will offer all types of services at an affordable cost. 4G is being developed to accommodate the quality of service (QoS) and rate requirements set by forthcoming applications like wireless broadband access, Multimedia Messaging Service, video chat, mobile TV, High definition TV content, DVB, minimal service like voice and data, and other streaming services for “anytime-anywhere”. 4G in principle will allow high-quality smooth video transmission. It will enable fast downloading of full-length songs or music pieces in real time. The business of 4Gmobile is predicted to be huge. By 2009, this 4Gmobile market will be over $400B. This 4Gmobile technology will dominate the wireless communications, and its converged system will replace most conventional wireless infrastructure. What will the data rates be for 4G?At present the download speed for mobile Internet connections range from 9.6 kbit/s for 2G cellular, up to 200 kbit/s (nominally 384 kbps) for the new Vodafone 3G service (mentioned above). However, in actual use the data rates are usually slower, especially in crowded areas, or when the network is “congested”. 4G mobile data transmission rates are planned to be up to 20 megabits per second That’s about 10-20 times faster than standard ASDL services. In terms of connection seeds, 4G will be about 200 times faster than present 2G mobile data rates, and about 10 times faster than 3G broadband mobile. 3G data rates are currently 2Mbit/sec, which is very fast compared to 2G’s 9.6Kbit/sec.
The developers of this wireless technology first used the name “Bluetooth” as a code name, but as time past, the name stuck. The word “Bluetooth” is taken from the 10th century Danish King Harald Bluetooth. King Bluetooth had been influential in uniting Scandinavian Europe during an era when the region was torn apart by wars and feuding clans. The founders of the Bluetooth SIG felt the name was fitting because: 1) Bluetooth technology was first developed in Scandinavia, and 2) Bluetooth technology is able to unite differing industries such as the cell phone, computing, and automotive markets. Bluetooth wireless technology simplifies and combines multiple forms of wireless communication into a single, secure, low-power, low-cost, globally available radio frequency.
A Scandinavian firm originally designed the logo at the time the SIG was formally introduced to the public. Keeping to the same origin as the Bluetooth name, the logo unites the Runic alphabetic characters “H”, which looks similar to an asterisk, and a “B”, which are the initials for Harald Bluetooth. If you look close enough you can see both embodied in the logo.
What Are The Advantages Of Bluetooth Technology?
The Bluetooth technology is a wireless communication that operates as radio waves, using a band set at 2.4GHz. This frequency is available at no charge. The Bluetooth technology allows two devices to connect wirelessly with each other, and incorporates the use of “Centrino” chips. These chips are available easily in most standard electronic devices such as laptops, cellular phones, computers, headsets, etc. There are many advantages of using Bluetooth wireless technology. The most important is the fact that any two devices can be connected with each other without the use of any cables or wires. Added to that, is that using Bluetooth devices is very safe and also convenient. Now you can get rid of the cables and wires that connect your computer to other devices. Often you need to use cables to connect your computer with the keyboard, the mouse, various cradles for electronic equipment such as PDAs, printers, etc. All these annoying cords can be eliminated if you use Bluetooth enabled devices and you can have an uncluttered and well maintained computer room with a minimum of wires lying on the floor. Also, every time you need to move your computer equipment to a different place, you have to first unplug all the cables connected to the other external devices, which is a nuisance. Bluetooth technology now makes it possible to connect any devices without using any wires. You no longer have to worry about what plug goes in where should you need to move and reconnect your equipment. Another advantage of using Bluetooth wireless technology is the safety factor. While driving your car it is extremely dangerous to use one hand to hold your cell phone and the other for driving. It is even illegal to do this in some countries as phoning while driving is a major cause of road accidents. You should always leave both your hands free while driving. Now, thanks to Bluetooth technology you can use a Bluetooth headset to receive your phone calls and to talk to the person on the other end of the “line”. This way you can drive safely with both hands on the steering wheel. Bluetooth wireless technology also makes our lives so much easier. This technology does not require you to be in close proximity or tethered to the electronic device to be able to use it. You can walk around and do other chores while using your Bluetooth headset. For example, you can cook in the kitchen while listening to your favorite music, without disturbing other people around you. You just have to play the music on your computer and switch on the Bluetooth headphones. Cooking is then no longer a chore! |

hi vishal good bloging
Actually, I think the Church has done a reasonably good job of embracing the new technologies, especially considering the size and nature of the institution. The timeline of the Church, after all, is eternity.
Having said that, there’s plenty of room for improvement and I think your review of their latest efforts is pretty much spot-on. I was just suggesting on another Catholic blog that perhaps the Vatican should hire a CTO, or at least a talented designer like Cameron Moll, who’s been doing some awfully good work for the Church of Latter-Day Saints. Shame that I can’t just tweet that suggestion over to the Pope..
