  • GB: East Lothian saves on new WAN

    East Lothian Council is aiming to shave 40 percent of its networking costs over the next 12 months with a new wide area network (WAN) infrastructure.

    The network will also enable the council to accelerate the rollout of home-working initiatives for employees, which form part of its wider commitment to reduce operational costs and on-site overheads.

  • Höhere Funkleistung soll Breitband-Internet in britische Dörfer bringen

    Die britische Telekommunikations-Regulierungsbehörde Ofcom hat vorgeschlagen, in Funknetzen höhere Sendeleistungen für bestimmte Anwendungen zu erlauben. Die Studie der Behörde (PDF-Datei) untersucht die Möglichkeiten wie das Funkspektrum besser ausgenutzt werden kann. Neben dem wirtschaftlichen Aspekt sehen die Autoren auch neue Möglichkeiten für die Breitband-Versorgung ländlicher Gebiete, die nicht an das kabelgebundene DSL-Netz angebunden sind. Die Überlegungen der Behörde beziehen sich nicht auf WLAN-Techniken, sondern auf den so genannten Wireless Broadband Access (WBA), der Breitband-Internet-Zugänge möglich macht.

  • India: Broadband Wireless Access Spectrum: The need for national Broadband growth

    Studies across the world have proved that higher broadband penetration has helped the global economy to move from recession to recovery

  • Mobiles Breitband: Regierungsgefördert

    Die Städte- und Kommunalregierungen rüsten auf in Sachen kabellose Breitbandnetze. Besonders in Nordamerika und Asien sollen die Wi-Fi-Netze aus dem Boden sprießen.

    Im vergangenen Jahr deckten die städtischen Wi-Fi-Netze weltweit gerade einmal 3.885 Quadratkilometer ab. Bis 2010 sollen es aber 325.000 Quadratkilometer werden, prognostizieren die Marktanalysten von ABI Research. Das entspräche der Fläche von Polen oder dem US-Bundesstaat New Mexico. Den Hauptanteil an der Abdeckung mit städtischen Wi-Fi-Netzen sollen die Regionen Nordamerika und der asiatisch-pazifische Raum haben. Mehr als eine Million Router sollen 2010 versandt werden, um diese Netze aufzubauen. Die Umsätze aus diesem Geschäft schätzt ABI auf 1,2 Milliarden US-Dollar.
