Haitel — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 10:38:30 +0000

To recap, Google was never involved in the business of selling mobile phones.
Today they are launching and selling the Google Nexus One, months after the
very popular Motorola Droid came to market as the first Android-based phone available on the Verizon network.

Google wants to compete but has not added any cool options to the Nexus One to change the smartphone industry. Apparently for Google, the objective is to use the Nexus One as a showcase for the Android platform’s potential and to prioritize cutting-edge hardware and software.

The difference between these 2 smartphone is first of all the processors The Nexus have faster processors than the Droid which utilizes Texas Instruments’ TI OMAP 3430 processor running at 600MHz. The Nexus One is powered by the Snapdragon 1 GHz core processor.

Nokia stops production of Nokia N810 WiMax Devices

Haitel — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 17:41:36 +0000

On Januaray 6th, Nokia confirmed that they are stopping production and distribution of the N810 Internet Tablet WiMax Edition. That’s one fewer device for Sprint /Clearwire subscribers to use on the Clear WiMax network which were just getting off the ground in the United States and Nokia goes and cancels its WiMax device.

When questioned the company, their response is a flat: “The Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition has reached the expected end of its life cycle. We will continue to follow the WiMax network development and new product decisions will be considered based on the evolution of the business.”

Those watching the evolution of the N810 WiMax Edition find it interesting that Edition reached end-of-life status on a day after Clearwire expands its WiMax network in the U.S.

This leaves behind WiMax subscribers in the U.S. with fewer options of usage on the network. Not that the network is vast and widespread. It is still in just two markets.

Nokia didn’t pronounce a word about other plans for its Internet Tablet devices and what their next intentions are.

Why cellular network sharing makes sense?

Haitel — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 07:59:27 +0000

THERE’S CONSIDERABLE logic behind yesterday’s confirmation that T-Mobile and 3 UK are going to share their 3G networks. Neither has a fixed broadband offering – so concentrating on mobile broadband makes sense.Unlike the stalled Vodafone and Orange RAN (Radio Access Network) share, this couple has gone right ahead and formed a management company – Mobile Broadband Network Ltd.
There’s loads of coverage figures being banded around but the combined network should reach the higher end of 90 per cent of the population.

The initial focus in 2008 will be on extending wide area coverage to rural areas, chiefly by moving 5,000 base stations from places where the two networks current overlap. Then the focus will shift to improving indoor coverage in dense urban areas in 2009.
The pair also claim this will create Europe’s most extensive HSDPA network. So where the world’s most extensive? In Japan, perhaps?

an Open Cellular Network – Proposed by Verizon Wireless

Haitel — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 00:29:02 +0000

Verizon Wireless has announced that its cellular network will be available to outside devices, services and applications according to a news release.

The FCC auction of the 700-MHz spectrum for wireless broadband networks to be conducted in January is seen as the reason for Verizon’s move. All companies wishing to bid are required to file a license application for the auction which gives a chance for having open and accessible wireless broadband network in the US.

The advantage for Verizon is that developers and manufacturers of handsets, non phone wireless devices like Internet tablets, ultramobile PCs and gaming devices can now manufacture equipment to suit the Verizon network. These devises are usually 3G network capable and based on UMTS technology and not EV-DO system of Verizon.

The announcement by verizon enables mobile phone manufacturers like Sony Ericsson , Samsung and LG Electronics to make phones which would work on verizon’s CDMA network as Verizon’s technical specifications are now available.

With an open network available people especially business travelers can access the internet with their laptops, more features can be added in portable electronic devices and it enables the government and utility agencies to connect any device for example meter readers to the network.
