Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last years the consumption of mobile data services has greatly increased, as more users consume everyday through their smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other devices to access internet. In addition the significant increase of video represents a challenge, as increased usage strains the capacity of the airwaves. Many experts agree that, despite the continuous investment in networks and advances in wireless efficiency, the increment demand for mobile broadband service is likely to surpass the available spectrum capacity in the short term. This has led to the mobile operators to compete in order to gain access to a share of the available spectrum commonly referred as “TV White Spaces” (TWS), which can be defined as the VHF/UHF frequencies left in idle by the Television broadcasting. These bands have excellent characteristics as: propagation, low level of noise, large macro-cell sizes and low density of subscribers. These idle frequencies also offer an exceptional opportunity to connect sparse communities found on the extensive rural areas to bridge digital gaps, especially because there are no plans to extend fiber to these communities and they provide a really cost-effective solution compared to fiber. Starting in 2012, several pilots and experiences around the globe were launched. Most of them were endorsed by non-telco organizations such as Microsoft and Google from slightly different purposes, angles and perspectives. Uruguay, Colombia, Jamaica as well as Ghana, Kenya and many other countries including US and Europe participated in proofs of concept, pilots or initial developments to benchmark TVWS as a cost-effective mobile broadband solution for a sundry of scenarios. The main purpose of this analysis is to query for those TVWS pilots and infer which is the current status of them worldwide. The first TWS pilots will surely provide suitable experience to define the roadmap and future applications in the development and uptake of the mobile broadband market. The analysis does an exhaustive review and a compilation of the general data from the studies that report the status of TVWS pilots such as its main purpose, status of the trial, stakeholders involved, timeline, regulations, viability and political will to follow up with this technology. The analysis of data provided by those projects and pilots have been approved to check the reliability this technology may do have in each area. The focus is multidisciplinary, where technology plays a key role but regulations and the market has to be also included in the final equation to have a complete picture of the whole TVWS solution. The results will allow us to summarize a set of case studies and to wrap up the lessons learned from the initial TVWS deployments. Good and best practices and the role played by TVWS in the national digital agendas whether this technology is still a solution to deploy mobile broadband solutions in certain markets.

Book excerpt: WiMAX Broadband Wireless Access Technology, based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, is at the origin of great promises for many different markets covering fixed wireless Internet Access, Backhauling and Mobile cellular networks. WiMAX technology is designed for the transmission of multimedia services (voice, Internet, email, games and others) at high data rates (of the order of Mb/s per user). It is a very powerful but sometimes complicated technique. The WiMAX System is described in thousands of pages of IEEE 802.16 standard and amendments documents and WiMAX Forum documents. WiMAX: Technology for Broadband Wireless Access provides a global picture of WiMAX and a large number of details that makes access to WiMAX documents much easier. All the aspects of WIMAX are covered. Illustrations and clear explanations for all the main procedures of WiMAX are pedagogically presented in a succession of relatively short chapters Topics covered include WiMAX genesis and framework, WiMAX topologies, protocol layers, MAC layer, MAC frames, WiMAX multiple access, the physical layer, QoS Management, Radio Resource Management, Bandwidth allocation, Network Architecture, Mobility and Security Features a glossary of abbreviations and their definitions, and a wealth of explanatory tables and figures Highlights the most recent changes, including the 802.16e amendment of the standard, needed for Mobile WiMAX Includes technical comparisons of WiMAX vs. 802.11 (WiFi) and cellular 3G technologies This technical introduction to WiMAX, explaining the rather complex standards (IEEE 802.16-2004 and 802.16e) is a must read for engineers, decision-makers and students interested in WiMAX, as well as other researchers and scientists from this evolving field.

Download or read book Tools and Weapons written by Brad Smith and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The instant New York Times bestseller. From Microsoft's president and one of the tech industry's broadest thinkers, a frank and thoughtful reckoning with how to balance enormous promise and existential risk as the digitization of everything accelerates. “A colorful and insightful insiders’ view of how technology is both empowering and threatening us. From privacy to cyberattacks, this timely book is a useful guide for how to navigate the digital future.” —Walter Isaacson Microsoft President Brad Smith operates by a simple core belief: When your technology changes the world, you bear a responsibility to help address the world you have helped create. This might seem uncontroversial, but it flies in the face of a tech sector long obsessed with rapid growth and sometimes on disruption as an end in itself. While sweeping digital transformation holds great promise, we have reached an inflection point. The world has turned information technology into both a powerful tool and a formidable weapon, and new approaches are needed to manage an era defined by even more powerful inventions like artificial intelligence. Companies that create technology must accept greater responsibility for the future, and governments will need to regulate technology by moving faster and catching up with the pace of innovation. In Tools and Weapons, Brad Smith and Carol Ann Browne bring us a captivating narrative from the cockpit of one of the world's largest and most powerful tech companies as it finds itself in the middle of some of the thorniest emerging issues of our time. These are challenges that come with no preexisting playbook, including privacy, cybercrime and cyberwar, social media, the moral conundrums of artificial intelligence, big tech's relationship to inequality, and the challenges for democracy, far and near. While in no way a self-glorifying "Microsoft memoir," the book pulls back the curtain remarkably wide onto some of the company's most crucial recent decision points as it strives to protect the hopes technology offers against the very real threats it also presents. There are huge ramifications for communities and countries, and Brad Smith provides a thoughtful and urgent contribution to that effort.
