In March 2007, was published network specification version 1.0 WiMAX, in June 2008 was held mobile certification for a range of 2.5 GHz. It is expected that before the end of 2009, the working group IEEE 802.16 committee approves second edition of the standard Mobile WiMAX Rel.1.5 (802.16e Rev2). Further prospects of WiMAX related to the new version of the standard IEEE 802.16m (Mobile WiMAX Rel.2.0). It is an improved version of mobile IEEE 802.16e. Work on the IEEE 802.16m began in February 2007, approval is scheduled for 2011

Key frequencies for mobile WiMAX networks are the frequencies in the range of 2.3 GHz, 2.6 GHz and 3.5 GHz channel width is 10, 5 or 7 MHz. In 2008 it received a formal statement on the adoption of the standard IEEE 802.16, operating in the range 2,5 - 2,69 GHz, as a global standard. Frequency profiles for Mobile WiMAX Release 1.5. planned in the ranges 700, 1700, 2300, 2500 and 3500 MHz.

In the first half of 2008, the development of mobile WiMAX is not happening very rapidly. Many companies in doubt the future of this technology, which arose from the decline of general interest to the mobile WiMAX. Some vendors said the refusal of mobile WiMAX in favor of new technology LTE, and worldwide operators are increasingly interested. But in late 2008 and early 2009, a number of events that, according to J'son & Partners Consulting, will enable mobile WiMAX occupy a prominent place in the market.

First is to run a number of projects:

• In Russia: projects Yota (Moscow and St. Petersburg) and Comstar UTS (Moscow)
• United States: draft Sprint Xohm (Baltimore and Portland)
• And other projects
In mid-2009 there are more than 40 projects of mobile WiMAX.

Currently, the number of systems WiMAX Forum Certified (802.16e-2005 and 802.16d) exceeds 110. Projected WiMAX Forum in 2011 this figure will exceed 1000.

Following the 1 half of 2008, the number of items of equipment that supports mobile WiMAX, was less than 10 pieces, while at the end of 2008 their number had increased almost 4-fold. Greatest contribution to this growth came from companies such as Samsung, Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco Systems, Huawei Technologies, Motorola, NEC, and RedLine Telecommunications.

Russia has become one of the first countries which started to develop new technology to mobile WiMAX. Early drafts of mobile WiMAX in Russia appeared in autumn 2008. The development of new technology began with the Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Projects mobile WiMAX in Russia

According to the company J'son & Partnres Consulting in a horse in 2008 the service access to the Internet based on mobile WiMAX technology tested about 8 thousand people. The commercial launch of the first WiMAX network took place in January 2009 (Synterra), followed by running their networks Comstar UTS and Skartel.

J & P Consulting expects the subscriber base of services in Russia will grow to 460 thousand (60 times) by the end of 2009.

Battle for laptops, Eldorado promises to reform

As expected, August 30, network «Eldorado» arranged sale of gaming notebooks Acer Emachines costs 9999 rubles. It is quite natural that the action has caused a real stir and resulted in «battle for laptops». Videoclip from the scene fairly quickly snared.

At this «Eldorado» responded to the press release, which promises next time to put up for sale a large shipment of laptops and to improve control to avoid over-buying frenzy. However, the company also notes that from the very beginning of the action reported by the buyers - Special laptops will only be 250.

As a result of promotion in a store at Eldorado Ryazan Avenue was less than an hour sold 250 laptops. As promised the company, those customers who paid the purchase, but as a result of hype could not get a laptop, get the goods in the near future.

The word "smartbuk" want to ban

I'm sure many of our readers remember the story, which occurred in December last year. Then the company Psion demanded from the media and computer equipment manufacturers to stop using the word "netbook". The reason given was called the fact that in the range the company had the device netBook and netBook Pro, but their names have been registered as a trademark. In the end, this conflict ended only a few months ago - it was the result of the voluntary cancellation Psion ownership of the trademark.

Apparently example Psion inspired a German company with the characteristic title Smartbook, and she decided to go about the same way. One of the authors germanskogo blog about laptops received a warning from the company Smartbook, which required two weeks away from any mention of the term "smartbuk. Probably not too well known company wants to become famous in the wake of the popularity of new devices with the same name. Additional advertising would not want.

Plug headphones Grado GR8 for $ 300

Most owners of portable audio players and myuzikfonov use headphones that came, and rarely think about the change. However, even those who decided to buy higher quality headphones, are rarely willing to spend on them more than a hundred dollars. So the new set of false Headphones Grado GR8 suitable only real music lovers and admirers of brands - the price at $ 300 simply deter others.

So, what will the buyer for such a considerable sum of money? Headphones anchor types have a wide range of the stated frequency response (20-20000 Hz), impedance is 120 ohms, sensitivity - 118 dB / mW, and maximum power is 20 mW. Oxygen Free Copper cable has a length of 130 mm, and the headphones themselves with it weighs only 9 grams. The kit also has three pairs of rubber "plugs" of different sizes.

This is a 45-nm chips Celeron 743 and SU2300, which, at a cost of $ 107 and $ 134, are positioned as solutions for low-cost models.

Later, their new models represent other Taiwanese manufacturers, in particular, Acer and MSI. As for ASUS, it makes a serious bid for ultrathin laptops - in the third quarter of this year, they ranged from 10% to 20% of all shipments of mobile PCs. Let's see what will be the demand for new items.

Nokia 3720 classic is a phone you can easily miss in the crowd of basic S40 handsets. But we guess that somehow works in its favor. The combination of classic looks and excellent durability make it a great choice for a larger sample of users. The 3720 classic makes sense as both an urban and an outdoor device.

There's no doubt that the standard S40 package works perfectly well as a low-end solution for the value-for-money customers. Dust and water resistance, along with proven sturdiness and solid build are an added gain.

What we have here is a handset that can stand a lot of torture but one that will feel quite at home in more sophisticated environments too. The Nokia 3720 classic will blend in a lot better than the Sonim XP1.

Speaking of which, a closer look is due at what the rugged Finn is up against in terms of competition. We guess the Sonim XP1, XP3 Enduro and Sonim XP3.20 Quest are in a class of their own - probably the closest to indestructible mobile phones have ever been. The non-existent feature set and the hefty price tag don't help much either.

It looks like the major threats for the 3720 classic come from mainstream makers like Samsung and Sony Ericsson. IP54 certification, enhanced durability and more than decent skill for the price bracket is what all contenders have in common. With the asking price of all hovering around and below the 150 euro mark, it's a tough call indeed. The good news for the Nokia 3720 classic is it hits the sweet spot between the Sony Ericsson C702 and the Samsung B2100 Xplorer.

The durable Cybershot is ageing and that implies a more elaborate feature set at a competitive price. The rugged Sony Ericsson handset offers fast data and video calls, GPS and Cybershot imaging but we doubt its durability is on par with the Nokia and Samsung ruggedized handset we torture-tested with our own hands.

The Samsung B2100 Xplorer is the most basic (and cheapest) package on offer. The small and low-res screen sounds a real deal breaker and we guess even the supposedly superior shock resistance will hardly endanger the 3720 classic. The B2100 is in a lower price range really.

Another tough phone by Samsung looks like the strongest competitor of the 3720 classic. The B2700 enjoys quite a headstart and beats the Nokia on a number of counts. The rugged B2700, which we tested early this year, brings quad-band GSM support, 3G and quite a few extremely relevant applications like a digital compass, pedometer and altimeter. The Nokia 3720 classic fights back with a bigger and higher-res screen and more refined styling.

We guess we'll say it again. The Nokia 3720 classic is extremely durable without looking it. That's a major point in its favor - it will win users for both its style and toughness. It's not an all-inclusive package but durability is almost uncompromised. Sounds like a lot of users will be keen to give this survivor a try.

Ruckus Wireless Selected to Outfit the Historic Queen Mary with Smart Wi-Fi

Overcomes Thick Metal Walls and Difficult RF Challenges That Have Inhibited Wi-Fi Deployment on the Historic Vessel, Gives 3 Million Yearly Visitors Reliable Wireless Access.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., -- Ruckus Wireless(TM), announced that it was selected to supply advanced, Smart Wi-Fi products and technology for the Queen Mary, one of the world's most historic ships, now permanently docked and serving as a luxury hotel and convention center in Long Beach, California.

Hotel Internet Services (HIS) and Queen Mary IT staff have selected and deployed Ruckus ZoneFlex Smart wireless LAN (WLAN) products, enabling wireless connectivity from any of the hotel's guestrooms and common areas in order to support the ship's more than three million yearly visitors.


The information technology teams tested and ultimately chose Ruckus Wireless products and technology due to its unique ability to extend signal range and overcome wireless challenges such as RF interference and impenetrable obstacles. Previously, metallic walls and other unfriendly RF obstacles on the Queen Mary made the deployment of Wi-Fi effectively impossible.

"Visitors are now coming on board with all kinds of wireless-enabled handheld devices and expect a Wi-Fi signal," said Edgar Stevens, IT systems analyst for the Queen Mary. "Having previously tested Wi-Fi aboard ship, we were unable to get it to work properly without having to deploy a huge number of APs. The Queen Mary is effectively a massive box built with metal walls and all sorts of nooks and crannies. This makes using any kind of wireless technology extremely challenging."

The Queen Mary and Wi-Fi - A History of Frustration

The Queen Mary, which had crossed the Atlantic Ocean 1,001 times, before docking permanently in 1967, now serves as a luxury hotel and convention center. Amenities include restaurants, exhibits, tours and 14 Art Deco salons. Entered into service in 1936, ship builders considered its design and electrical system to be state of the art. Today, in its role as one of the world's best known attraction and hotel destinations, these same design and electrical attributes cause unique, and previously insurmountable problems for providing high-speed Internet access services for the ship's business and leisure guests.

With more than a million square feet of space, 314 guest rooms, conference facilities, restaurants, meeting rooms and other common areas, the Queen Mary has only been able to offer broadband access through its existing power infrastructure on the ship. This requires guests to check out special powerline adapters to connect laptops and other devices.

"We looked long and hard at Wi-Fi but found it would have required more than 90 APs from competitive vendors just to support the hotel and conference space," said Gary Patrick, president and CEO of Hotel Internet Services, a leading provider of wireless systems and integration services across the hospitality industry. "To be honest, given the high performance and ability of Ruckus Wireless products to overcome interference, and our previous experiences with Ruckus deployments, we expected them to test out well. When our testing showed we could set up the entire Wi-Fi network using one-third the number of APs, we were pleasantly surprised."

HIS designed, installed and provides ongoing management and maintenance of the Queen Mary's Wi-Fi infrastructure. "Having a reliable wireless network eliminates a lot of the headaches for front desk staff who previously had to check powerline adapters in and out, as well as dealing with customer support issues. Beyond that we've seen an increase in revenue in the very short time the Wi-Fi service has been available," added Patrick.

According to HIS, in the first two weeks after deploying the Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi system, the Queen Mary saw the connection rate double compared to its existing powerline solution, and without advertising the availability of the Wi-Fi service.

Deployment Details

HIS and the Queen Mary are now offering high-performance Wi-Fi connectivity to all hotel guests, conventioneers and visitors. HIS conceived and installed the ship's wireless solution, using a third of the number of Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi access points at the fraction of the cost of other solutions.

HIS installed 33 Ruckus ZoneFlex 2942 802.11g Smart Wi-Fi APs across three decks of the Queen Mary to provide complete coverage to all guest rooms, convention areas, meeting space, and other public areas. Redundant ZoneDirector 1000 controllers provide easy administration of the entire wireless environment from a central point.

The Ruckus ZoneFlex Smart Wi-Fi solution installed on the Queen Mary automatically steers Wi-Fi signals around interference to provide extended range and higher capacity coverage. The system delivers consistent performance, enabling visitors, guests and the numerous shops and services on the ship to access the Internet without the worry of limited range, performance or interference. The Ruckus system constantly readjusts Wi-Fi transmissions to overcome obstacles in the surrounding environment to provide the best throughput for each user.

Red Bend Software Continues Mobile Software Management Momentum With New Customers and FOTA Shipments

WALTHAM, Mass., -- Red Bend Software, the market leader in Mobile Software Management (MSM), announced that its firmware over-the-air (FOTA) software now reaches 565 million mobile devices worldwide. As of second quarter 2009, Red Bend's award-winning FOTA software was available in 413 device models from leading manufacturers including LG, Sharp, Sony Ericsson and ZTE. Market research firm Ovum named Red Bend the market leader in FOTA with 60% share of FOTA-enabled mobile phones. In addition, global demand for standards-based device management (DM) software expanded Red Bend's licensees to 48.

"The mobile industry has been hit by global economic conditions, and analysts point to a second quarter decline in handset shipments ranging from 6 to 11 percent. Yet despite the overall market, our business continues to grow because we enable our customers to open up new revenue streams in apps and services, build brand loyalty with a compelling mobile user experience and reduce customer care costs through software updates," said Yoram Salinger, CEO of Red Bend Software. "I'm also optimistic about the growth coming from connected wireless devices such as PC cards, M2M modules and WiMAX modems. Operators are requiring that all devices on the network be managed in a unified way, and they are turning to Red Bend for our unmatched experience with more than 400 device models across dozens of software platforms."


Highlights from the second quarter:

•Japan Embraces MSM: NTT DOCOMO signed a multi-year agreement to license Red Bend's full portfolio of mobile software management solutions, including vRapid Mobile(R) for updating firmware over-the-air (FOTA) and managing software components over-the-air (SCOTA) as well as vDirect Mobile(TM) for device management (DM). DOCOMO will be able to create a consistent, high-quality user experience for software updating and application management across its platforms and devices.
•WiMAX Turns to DM: Already a significant year in WiMAX chipset adoption with Intel and Beceem announcements in Q1, Red Bend continued the momentum with Fujitsu Microelectronics licensing vDirect Mobile for Fujitsu's WiMAX SoC and WiMAX chipsets. WiMAX chipset providers are able to offer their OEM customers Red Bend's pre-integrated and pre-optimized DM software, which is the first with built-in support for the WiMAX Forum's WiMAX management object (MO) specification. Deployed in tens of millions of mobile devices, vDirect Mobile is the leading independent DM client interoperable with any DM server supporting standards from the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA DM).
•Driving Industry Standards: Red Bend continues to lead the market with promoting OMA DM standards by successfully completing interoperability testing of its DM software in the OMA Enhanced Environment Test last quarter. With the growing adoption of open platforms such as Android, Symbian OS and LiMo, support for mobile standards has never been more important as software providers, mobile operators and device makers look to bring to market innovative mobile user experiences. In June, vDirect Mobile was recognized for "exceptional innovation" by Technology Marketing Corp (TMC).

Red Bend-Enabled Shipments as of Q2 2009
