So you truly can give it to students going Back-To School to Share Internet in the car (or at a friends house.)

Truck Drivers or other Road Warriors can use Internet without having to be near a Truck Stop or Internet Cafe.

Boats (Yachts, Sailing Vessels) can get the crew online as well, and use it with a PBX or Standard Telephones/Jacks.

* So if your student is going back to school… If you have been away from your boat for awhile…

Ericsson W35 just might be what you need!

Mobile Internet! Step up to the HSPA 3G Fast Internet!

Ericsson W35 released in the USA. This you’ve gotta SEE!!
Better looking presentation than W25 (you might not want to
hide this one in the Doghouse!) + High Speed Upload which
the W25 did not have.

Reading List: Cellular: Fierce Wireless talks with AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph de la Vega

This is the link from my previous post (dailywireless.com) below regarding “AT&T is also talking up their HSPA+ service”

http://www.fiercebroadbandwireless.com/story/ts-de-la-vega-takes-net-neutrality-and-data-crunch/2010-03-11
FierceWireless: Are you concerned about Verizon’s rapid deployment of LTE? Are you planning to change your timetable to meet their schedule?

de la Vega: I think our approach is rock solid. We will continue to use the technology that we have because it can be upgraded; thus it allows us to continue to give our customers superior service. We have deployed HSPA 7.2 throughout the country, and now we are moving to make the backhaul better, which will increase speeds. We will also deploy HSPA+ in certain locations.

When you look at LTE, our deployment is designed to fall back to HSPA. The beauty of our deployment is that it will come at the right time, when devices are available and devices will fall back to the high speeds that are available. With LTE, we think that there will be a lack of devices in the short-term. Our deployment is designed around those devices, so our network will come at the time when the devices are available.

FierceWireless: You said you are looking to do HSPA+ in certain locations. Where will you deploy it?

de la Vega: We are still working that out.

Cellular - HSPA - LTE tidbits of info. http://www.dailywireless.org/

http://www.dailywireless.org/ 

T-Mobile says its HSPA+ network, with backhaul in place, will cover 185 million people in the U.S. by the end of this year.

Technology Business Research analyst Ken Hyers expects that HSPA+ smartphones from T-Mobile will deliver average downloads of around 5 Mbit/s in city environments. The carrier is charging $59.99 for a maximum 5GB of downloads a month for those on contract, or $29.99 with a 200MB limit, using its Rocket 2.0 USB laptop stick.

T-Mobile USA isn’t planning to move to LTE for at least two years. The 21-Mbit/s HSPA+ upgrade is the fastest that the wireless technology can be cranked with software — rather than hardware — updates.

“We’ll get a fourth-generation wireless network either by buying spectrum or re-farming existing spectrum, or potentially leasing spectrum together with others,” CEO Rene Obermann said at a press conference on Aug. 5. “I don’t think we’ll trail others in the next two years.”

Since T-Mobile USA is virtually using all their spectrum assets for 2G and 3G, there is speculation that the carrier may lease spectrum from Clearwire for 4G service.

AT&T is also talking up their HSPA+ service. But AT&T’s backhaul upgrade is not as complete as T-Mobile’s. In addition, current iPhone 4 users will not be able to take advantage of HSPA+, since these phones do not have support built-in. Apple isn’t believed to have an HSPA+ iPhone this year and may depend on having a sufficiently low-power Infineon chipset before it can make an attempt.

T-Mobile is the only major US wireless carrier, besides Cricket Wireless, to be using their AWS spectrum. Cricket is using CDMA Rev A for data networking.

Satire on Abby Sunderland and Iridium Satphone? Gabby Wonderland tries to use her Iridium phone as she sails around the globe



Someone on Youtube said:

Pretty sure it’s a joke. Gabby Wondeland sounds too close to Abby Sunderland to not be a joke. And the story of being lost in the Indian Ocean was Abby’s story. It looks like satire to me.

 * Alan Spicer says… well despite it being a joke … how is she uploading 360p progressive scan video to YouTube? That’s gotta be taking some megabytes. In the video it looks like she is outside of WiFi range. Might be getting a bit far for Cellular 3 or 4G. I don’t see another satellite dish on that boat. And I don’t think she would be uploading that kind of video over that handheld sattellite phone. It doesn’t look like she has the fixed mount kit for it or an external antenna.

Anyway there goes your satire video bloopers and mistakes for this time.

LightSquared, Inmarsat … The wholesale 4G operator trying to “de-frag” its satellite spectrum, optimizing it for LTE deployment.

LightSquared Moves Forward With Re-banding of L-Band Radio Spectrum

LightSquared swapping spectrum with Inmarsat

The wholesale 4G operator trying to “de-frag” its satellite spectrum, optimizing it for LTE deployment.
New 4G operator LightSquared is swapping out spectrum with fellow satellite operator Inmarsat in an effort to align its frequency holdings with its long-term evolution deployment plans.

Though LightSquared has received FCC permission to use its 59 MHz of L-band satellite spectrum for terrestrial mobile broadband services, the interlaced L-band licenses are hardly optimized for a wideband 4G deployment. LTE uses orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access technology, which through the use of sub-channels can spread a single LTE carrier over virtually any amount of spectrum. The more contiguous spectrum an operator packs into that channel, the more capacity it can offer over a single wireless carrier, while still effectively using the same infrastructure.

(more at both links cited, obviously …)
