Alcatel has been chosen to provide dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) equipment, Nortel will lay the synchronised optical network (SONET) and Level 3 is to install the dark fibre network. Services available will include Global One's IP...
Even the sci-fi type ideas of chips implanted into the human body or even some form of DNA scanning system cannot be ruled out in the longer term. There are obvious conceptual problems and the history of attempts to record metadata in data...
The improvements in technology that allow the location and habits of individuals to be tracked and collated may have strong business and consumer benefits, but also has the potential to remove people's privacy on a scale unprecedented in history.
Existing metro networks have used Sonet/SDH, an expensive but reliable network designed to carry voice traffic reliably on ring networks. Until now, metro networking has come at the cost of of a major step change from Ethernet to more expensive...
The opposing technology approaches are orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and direct sequence (DS)-UWB. The Bluetooth SIG has been debating a higher-speed technology for some years and this move allows it to both eliminate its main...
Csiro claims its patent covers a core method for transmitting wireless signals that use orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation, which breaks signals into different parts to transmit data simultaneously over different...
