| | | The war of indoor wireless | | Posted Thursday, February 01, 2007 3:13:11 PM by Blog57 Team | | Indoor wireless coverage is coming to a cross-roads. In the future, will we use our own Wi-Fi networks, or will we have "femtocells" provided by the cellular operators? At the moment, mobile operators provide voice connections outside the office and are persuading us all to upgrade to data in the wide area. But there's a problem: coverage. The 3G networks don't work so well indoors - and in countries like the US, even 2G voice can be pretty flakey. The problem gets worse when data is used, and is worse the faster you want to use it. "In London, 3G coverage goes down by 66 percent when you go from 64 kbit/s to 384 kbit/s," , says Vicki Griffiths UMTS product manager at PicoChip, which makes silicon for femtocells. For many, the answer is already there, in the fast indoor wireless networks we already use.... | |

| | | Green company makes state-of-the-art security camera that has remote control from Web | | Posted Tuesday, January 02, 2007 3:17:25 PM by Blog57 Team | | From his office in Green, Jeff Doak pulls out his Pocket PC -- a cell phone-sized computer with a wireless Internet connection -- and dials up a camera installed on property he owns in southeast Ohio. He instructs the camera to spin around 360 degrees, then zooms in tight on the Senecaville Dam three-quarters of a mile away. If he were so inclined, Doak could program the camera to pick up any motion in the nearby woods, then call his phone so he could see what's wandered into view. This is the next generation of video surveillance, a customized, interactive system designed by i2c Technologies on Boettler Road. Doak, the company's president, has paired his expertise in software development with his vice president's law enforcement experience.... | |
