NFC Presence
NFC Presence
04/01/2005 12:25 PMI don't blog about what I really work on, for obvious reasons, but I
just got two very nice 3220 phones with the
Nokia NFC
Shell, wrote a small web app, and got clearance from my boss to
blog about it, as this stuff is gonna be in the shops, well, if not
today, but very soon. NFC is geek for "Near Field
Communication", which in turn is geek for "doing really
close range communication between two really simple radios." If
you're using any sort of a contactless travel pass, credit card, or
access key, you're using NFC.
This particular app was pretty trivial to do (and required about five
lines of code on the server side): I took two NFC tags (essentially
very small memory cards with a radio that can be read/written from up
to a few centimetres), wrote the URL of my web service on both of them
(using the ServiceDiscovery app included), and wrote a little JSP page
that handles the interfacing with my blog.
Then I stuck one tag on my work monitor, and another one at home.
Now I can just touch one of these tags with my phone, and a few
seconds later (some delays are involved with starting the Java midlet
and connecting to GPRS) the little box on the right changes to show my
location. Voila: NFC-powered presence.
This is in essence no different from doing a Trackback ping; I'm just
doing it by touching something with my phone. Not traversing menus,
not using the keyboard, not even glancing the screen.
Just touching. It couldn't be simpler.
Took me more time to take the pictures and blog about it than to
actually write the app...
(Disclaimer: I work for the company, and I've been somewhat
involved in giving birth to these babies. But I wouldn't write about
it if it didn't give me the warm fuzzies.)

Alvarion Says Pre-WiMax Means WiMax
Commitment
Alvarion Says Pre-WiMax Means WiMax
Commitment
06/18/2004 03:58 PMAlvarion VP says that the company's new platform is ready for WiMax,
backed by their promise to upgrade it: A few weeks ago, I wrote about
Alvarion's BreezeMax platform and took the company to task for not
spelling out precisely what they were promising customers when saying
that BreezeMax was their WiMax platform. WiMax hasn't reached a final
certification stage yet for equipment that complies to IEEE 802.16a:
broadband wireless point-to-point service in the 2 GHz to 11 GHz range
for licensed and unlicensed bands. That certification standard might
not be ready until 2005; likewise, chips designed for it could be that
far ahead, too. I wrote in May that Alvarion should have said We're
not selling WiMax equipment, but something we believe we be so close
to it that only firmware upgrades are required. I also wrote,
Interestingly, while they say futureproofed on one page, they don't
mention whether purchasers would receive free hardware upgrades if the
WiMax standard as deployed is too different to allow firmware changes
to this equipment. Alvarion wanted to clarify what they meant, and I
spoke today with Carlton O'Neal, the vice president of marketing for
the company. I asked O'Neal if Alvarion is guaranteeing its
customers--as a few other firms have apparently done in a limited
way--that BreezeMax would be a zero-cost WiMax upgrade when the final
standard was available. He said it would. O'Neal said that the company
had built the platform to allow software upgrades, firmware upgrades,
and hardware upgrades. They believe that with the current state of the
WiMax standard they can entirely rely on software and firmware to
handle full WiMax certification: "Our hope, our plan, is that it's
software and firmware," he said. Their last resort would be hardware,
but "we're prepared to do that." Alvarion has been developing the
BreezeMax system for three years, and decided that given the state of
WiMax and their own readiness, they needed to bring the carrier-grade
equipment into the marketplace with a commitment to make this their
flagship WiMax platform even though the standard is still under
development. What they deploy today works, and some of their customers
may choose to stick with it far past when interoperable WiMax hardware
and their own upgrades are available. Alvarion will eventually rely on
chips built by Intel to power their WiMax gear, and Intel's circuits
aren't due until 2005 at this point. But...
Pre-WiMax at 100 mph
Pre-WiMax at 100 mph
04/13/2005 08:12 PM The Brighton Express uses pre-WiMax gear to achieve 60 miles of
coverage at 100 mph: Peter Judge reports from the London-to-Brighton
line that although coverage is yet contiguous--that's still to
come--the service offers seamless performance across each base station
zone by relying Wi-Fi in the carriages to WiMax base stations along
the route. T-Mobile is involved in this unwiring--which was carried
out by Nomad Digital--and is offering the service at no charge while
they tune the system. The estimate is that the 37 802.11d-based
Redline devices will need to be increased to 60, or a density of about
one per mile, to provide complete coverage. The limit on speed right
now is the ADSL backhaul of 2 Mbps per base station. The service
switches to GPRS when out of range of WiMax bonding three GPRS
devices. Only one train out of 15 is equipped so far. T-Mobile will
charge £5 per hour or £13 per day for service starting in
June....
WiMax: Where and When
WiMax: Where and When
07/12/2004 05:22 PMParks Associates senior analyst Michael Cai's recent report on fixed
broadband wireless technology may offer a more realistic view of the
future than that painted by some vendors: He studied developed and
developing countries around the globe and while he found that each
region is on a slightly different path, he doesn't expect to see
volume commercial deployments of WiMax until 2006. Those deployments
will be mainly in Europe and Asia. That timeframe is slightly behind
the second half of 2005 timeframe that the WiMax Forum and some
vendors are hoping for. While the standardization process is on
schedule, the processes for certification and interoperability are
likely to slow down progress. "Who knows where conflicts emerge as
they go down the process," Cai said. Even if commercial products come
out in the second half of 2005 on schedule, carriers will likely want
to test products for three to six months before rolling out a
commercial network, he said. Cai doesn't expect large scale demand for
WiMax networks in the United States until 2008 or 2009, though he
cautions that there are so many uncertainties here that it's difficult
to predict. The deployment of WiMax here may depend on changes the FCC
may make to its spectrum policy for the 2.5 Ghz bands. But in the
meantime, Cai expects existing wireless ISPs to migrate to WiMax using
the unlicensed bands. "All they care about is cost," he said. Such
operators don't have the resources to test equipment or support trials
so they're interested in standards-based products that essentially
guarantee good performance. Cai also has some interesting theories on
which areas of the world will have the most WiMax users in the near
future. While many observers suggest that the developing nations that
don't yet have strong telecom infrastructure will make up the largest
markets for WiMax, Cai says that developed markets will at least
initially account for the highest number of subscribers. "Even if
[WiMax reaches] 20 percent of the underserved market in the U.S.,
that's way larger than the total market in a lot of developing
markets," he said. He believes that over the next few years, most of
the developing countries will continue to lack demand, lack PC
penetration, and lack the disposable income to support WiMax. "At
least until 2009, we'll probably have more WiMax subscribers in the
underserved markets in the developed countries compared to emerging
markets...
WiMax
WiMax
04/18/2005 07:55 AMWireless Internet access about to go
extra 5 miles: We had WiMax-like service here in Sioux Falls as a
test market for Monet Mobile. You could surf
the Web from a laptop in the back seat of your car driving down the
interstate.
Sadly, it looks like Monet was a bit ahead of their time. If they
had only made it one more year, they'd have hit the coming WiMax
craze.
WiMax is essentially high-powered Wi-Fi, the kind of wireless
Internet now common in coffee shops. Wi-Fi's range is much shorter,
usually enough to cover only one or two buildings.
[...] Intel is working on a future chip that will go into laptops
allowing them to hop onto a WiMax network anywhere there's a signal.
WiMax may also incorporate Internet phone-calling technology, turning
it into a land-line and cellular-like phone service.
And here's a benefit we've talked about before: less stuff.
[...] there's a good chance WiMax will be a hit, especially because
it saves carriers the trouble of laying cable.
A tsunami can't break a WiMax connection, provide the sending and
receiving points are intact, right?

WiMax From WalMart?
WiMax From WalMart?
08/10/2004 03:53 AMOver at the Institute for the Future, they're wondering if
WalMart might end up
getting into the broadband business by hooking up WiMax base
stations (once such equipment is actually available) on all their
stores, covering much of the US in broadband. It's an interesting
theory, and gets the attention of those who think that telecoms are a
dying breed. Of course, it's really not that easy. Over at
TheFeature, I've written up a longer piece looking at some of the
challenges a
company like WalMart might face in offering broadband services.
However, it's certainly not impossible to count them out. After all,
who thought Starbucks would be in the internet access business in the
first place? If you take that to a larger scale, perhaps Walmart
could get into the WiMax business as well. A more interesting
question, however, may be how the world is going to look when there
are plenty of "virtual" network operators, where one company offers up
their brand for others to put on a network. Virgin has built up quite
a set of businesses doing this, and in the mobile space, MVNOs are a
hot topic. However, could companies do this for just about any kind
of telecom/broadband offering... and more to the point, is there a
real benefit in doing so? It's cool for a big brand name company to
think they can suddenly get into a technology services business just
by licensing out their brand name, but won't there be some risks (a la
AT&T'
s annoyance with AT&T Wireless' trampling of the brand) and some
questions about just why you want to buy your internet service from
Coca-Cola?

08/17/2004 10:55 PMTI Doubts WiMax
TI Doubts WiMax
09/21/2004 06:29 PMTI, which is not heavily into WiMax like its competitor Intel, says
WiMax won't be very effective at bringing broadband to the home: It's
true that it's far from certain that WiMax will be anywhere near the
success that Intel promises, but most of the reasons TI gives here are
pretty weak. Because China hasn't jumped on the bandwagon and because
broadband wireless standards have failed in the past doesn't prove
that WiMax will fail. If WiMax products have a lower price tag and are
more robust than previous attempts at broadband wireless, the
technology has a chance of success. WiMax can be far easier to deploy
than most wireline technologies and appears to offer a good
alternative to wireline especially in developing regions of the world.
But there are plenty of reasons that WiMax could fail, which aren't
mentioned by the TI executive. In the United States only a few
spectrum holders own the licenses that would be ideal for a WiMax
deployment and it's not clear that they're interested in the
technology. One of those companies, Nextel, has expressed interest in
using other proprietary technologies in the spectrum. Other large
operators that don't own such prime spectrum are unlikely to want to
execute a major deployment in unlicensed frequencies. The TI executive
suggests that a portable or mobile version of WiMax might have a
better chance of success. While future iterations of WiMax may sound
more promising than the initial fixed version, it's very difficult to
know today what the market will look like by the time a mobile or
portable solution becomes available. By then, other technologies may
have leapfrogged WiMax. It's also not clear that WiMax will indeed
result in low-cost equipment for operators. Some wireless ISPs have
said that vendors they've spoken to have said that the first couple
generations of their base stations won't be interoperable with clients
from any vendor. That lack of interoperability may not be very
attractive for many operators and may prohibit prices from dropping.
Ultimately, there are plenty of forces working against WiMax but much
of what the TI executive says here sounds to me like sour grapes....

06/03/2004 04:47 PMParks Associates presents a clear chart of WiMax, 802.16, and cell
flavors that explain their nature and timetable: Anyone writing about
or planning to deploy fixed and mobile wireless data services needs to
take a gander at Parks Associates's layout of what WiMax will
incorporate and when, including a break-out into the individual
standards. "Using the term WiMAX in a homogeneous fashion has created
a lot of hype and confusion in the industry," said one of Parks's
senior analysts. Bravo and thank you. [link via Om Malik]...

Georgia County May be First for WiMax
12/02/2003 04:55 PM Intel is working with city leaders in Houston County, Georgia to
discuss building what could be the first WiMax network in the country:
Intel has a close relationship with Houston County High School because
it has given the school a $30,000 wireless technology lab. The idea
for the WiMax network hatched from that relationship. The plan is very
much on the drawing board though, with no one yet volunteering to fund
the network, which should cost around $2 million to build, including
towers....
WiMAX Shouldn't Ignore Businesses
WiMAX Shouldn't Ignore Businesses
12/02/2003 02:32 PM A study from ABI Research urges service providers that plan to use
WiMAX not to ignore small and medium size businesses: While the firm
concludes that by 2008, 42 percent of subscribers will be residential,
another 16 percent will be small or medium businesses. Those
businesses tend to churn less than consumers and will likely spend
more on their connections so operators would be wise to target them.
ABI expects that combined revenues for 802.16 and 802.20 should pass
$1.5 billion by 2008....

WiMax Has Hard Job Ahead
WiMax Has Hard Job Ahead
11/03/2003 11:13 AMThe WiMax Forum is supposed to help settle on an approach that
implement the IEEE 802.16a point-to-point wireless spec: But the sheer
range and nature of the protocol might result in several incompatible
approaches. Intel's involvement might focus efforts in one direction.
The article's side note that the 802.11g pre-ratification rush in the
Wi-Fi space means even the Wi-Fi Alliance has found it difficult to
maintain the original promise of interoperability is unfounded. I was
dubious about the early 802.11g gear, too, but the rush was towards a
single standard, not towards several. Ultimately, the IEEE approved
802.11g in summer and the Wi-Fi Alliance certified gear shortly
thereafter....
