UPS Starts Wireless Logistical Deployment in Europe

UPS Starts Wireless Logistical
Deployment in Europe
06/22/2004 01:51 PM

UPS starts its global roll-out of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular systems to speed up package processing: The system will start its rollout in Europe in package sorting centers. Sorts will wear a Bluetooth ring on their middle finger that will scan bar codes. The ring hands data off to a belt-worn Wi-Fi device which communicates with the network. By 2007, UPS will have 55,000 ring scanners deployed in 118 countries. They predict enormous savings in repairs and downtime as well as spare parts inventory. It also provides worker flexibility: there's no fixed station needed. 73 sites will have the system deployed by the end of 2005. UPS will install about 12,000 access points across 2,000 facilities as part of this rollout. While they say the resulting network will be one of the largest in the world, a conversation I had with a firm today that builds software to manage large-scale access point deployments indicates that there may be several hundred companies today with thousands of access points across all branches, and that topping 10,000 access points for a worldwide corporation won't be unusual in a year or two. In the U.S., UPS is testing its DIAD IV (Delivery Information Acquisition Device) which combines GPS (for positioning), Bluetooth (for scanning), Wi-Fi (for transmission), and GSM/GPRS cellular data (for uplinking). The device even has an acoustic modem for the backroads that UPS finds itself delivering packages to....

Telcos and cities struggling for
wireless deployment control
06/05/2005 11:48 PM

In a growing number of American states , city governments and telephone companies are struggling over policies determining who gets to rollout city-wide wireless internet connectivity. Telcos argue that cities offer unfair competition to their businesses.

Twenty states have already passed, or are trying to push through, legislation that would impose heavy restrictions on communities creating their own networks in areas already served by Bells and cable companies.
Thirteen of those states--Arkansas, Florida, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington--have passed bills restricting future public broadband projects, though existing initiatives are allowed to operate. The remaining eight have measures pending or have seen their bills fail to reach a vote.

What does deployment mean?


What does deployment mean? 05/21/2004 07:01 PM

Phase 2. Semantic Web, Phase 2: Developments and Deployment Eric Miller’s slides from WWW2004. In one he lists the following other presentations at WWW2004 which feature Semantic Web deployment : Charles Myers - Adobe (PDF presentation) ... [Raw]

Dam now see - if there isn't a better example of the difference between product folks and research folks - their list of deployments is a list of .ppts (PowerPoint slides.)

Call me crazy - but to me - a list of deployements would be (heaven forbid) a list of sites of deployed code - working - for humans to play and learn from.

Is there a disconnect here?

Automating deployment with Subversion


Automating deployment with Subversion 04/07/2005 12:02 AM

Any developer knows that deployment is often a highly-manual process. In this edition of Linux.Ars, the crew looks at a tool — Subversion — that can make deployment from a development to production environment nearly painless.

The process is fairly painless. On the development server, I check out my website from Subversion. This, particularly when adding an existing project to Subversion, allows me to make sure that i have a complete working copy under version control. Next, I add a post-commit script on my Subversion server.

There's more, but you'll have to read on to get the goods on Subversion. In addition, we've got Tools, Tips, and Tweaks covering Synergy, an app that allows you to control multiple machines using a single keyboard and mouse, and even share a clipboard. There's also other tidbits from the week's Linux news and of course, the Cool App of the Week. Read on.
