When Wi-Fi meets cellular

When Wi-Fi meets cellular 03/14/2005 06:27 PM
Wouldn't it be nice if you had a dual-mode phone that let you talk via voice over Wi-Fi when you're in the office, warehouse or hospital, and then seamlessly switched over to cellular when you were outside the coverage area of your wireless LAN. That's the promise of new converged or hybrid services that will become available sooner than you think.

Cellular sounds

Cellular sounds 04/15/2004 01:10 PM
What do cells sound like? Nanotech pioneer Jim Gimzewski and grad student Andrew Pelling are using the tiny tip of an atomic force microscope like the needle of a record player to pick up a cell's sound-generating vibrations. Gimzewski has named the fieled "sonocytology." From a Smithsonian Magazine article about the research:

"The distance the cell wall moves determines the amplitude, or volume, of the sound wave, and the speed of the up-and-down movement is its frequency, or pitch. Though the volume of the yeast cell sound was far too low to be heard, Gimzewski says its frequency was theoretically within the range of human hearing. 'So all we're doing is turning up the volume,' he adds."

Wi-Fi to Cellular Roaming Stalled

Wi-Fi to Cellular Roaming Stalled 08/30/2004 09:56 AM

eWeek has an interesting article talking about the hurdles the new VoIP Wi-Fi and cellular-switching phones may have penetrating the market. Even though companies like Motorola are developing systems that allow cellphones to switch seamlessly to Wi-Fi, the thought is that the savings provided to corporate infrastructure might be moot as cellular rates continue to drop. Of course, the people who really want this service are regular consumers like you and me, even though we are probably going to be the last people to get it (it may be more realistic to cheer on Verizon and other carriers to offer high-speed cellular networks like EV-DO and EDGE).

But interestingly, hospitals may be the earliest adopters of the Wi-Fi/cellular switching phones, specifically because of the dangers cellular radios can cause to sensitive medical equipment. If the phones switch to Wi-Fi, they can control the power levels to be weaker and (presumably) safer.

I'm curious if the writer of this article didn't quite understand the technology: According to this piece, Calypso is marketing a platform that will route calls from a Calypso cell phone over Wi-Fi to a cell phone network. I'm guessing that in reality, Calypso is marketing a platform that offers voice over Wi-Fi when in range of a Wi-Fi network as well as voice over regular cellular networks. Calypso's Web site doesn't go into much detail about how its technology works. China Telecom has spent $500 million on Calypso's platform, which is described here as delivering voice over Wi-Fi and cellular....

Does Anyone Need VoWiFi-Cellular Combos?

Does Anyone Need VoWiFi-Cellular Combos? 08/30/2004 01:37 PM
In the last few months, there's been a lot of talk about combined VoWiFi/cellular phones with the idea that you could use voice over a WiFi network, where available, and cellular connections where WiFi is missing. Even ignoring the point that most of the devices that have been announced combining a cellular phone with VoWiFi have been hideously crippled by their manufacturers to barely work at all the way you would expect (and the way they might be useful), some are now pointing out that maybe the market really isn't so big, something we've suggested before. There are potential innovative uses combining VoIP and WiFi, but this insistence on "cheaper" calls doesn't make much sense in a world where most people have a zillion minutes and no long distance fees. Also, the eWeek article oddly spends way too much time focusing on how VoWiFi could be useful in hospitals, without ever bothering to note that hospitals are now changing their policies and allowing mobile phones, now that they've shown the phones don't interfere with most medical equipment.

Wi-Fi/Cellular PDA to Arrive Later this
Summer

Wi-Fi/Cellular PDA to Arrive Later this
Summer 07/26/2004 10:43 AM
T-Mobile and HP said today that they'd start selling a new handheld that includes GSM, GPRS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth later this summer: There are some combined cellular/Wi-Fi PDAs being sold in Japan and probably one or two here too, but this will be one of the first major launches by an operator. One of the more interesting aspects of this announcement is the type of pricing deal T-Mobile will introduce when the device becomes available. It will offer a plan that includes a bucket of voice minutes plus unlimited use of GPRS and Wi-Fi. The whole plan will cost under $100. Some of the cellular operators have been charging around $80 a month for unlimited cell data using data cards, though those prices have been dropping recently. Data plans on cell phones have been less expensive, but presumably users aren't downloading PowerPoint presentations on their cell phones, unless they are connecting to their laptops, which the operators frown upon. So while the $100 figure from T-Mobile seems like a good deal by comparison and because it includes voice, Wi-Fi, and cell data, it's still pretty steep when you compare it to what people pay for high-speed access in their homes. Users will likely expect to pay a premium for the benefit of using mobile data, but this might be too much of a premium. While the analysts I spoke to seemed pretty excited about the idea of a device that includes cell data and Wi-Fi, I suspect that the audience for this device will be relatively small. The PDA market in general has been shrinking, and the market for this device will be a subset of the overall PDA market. Still, the analysts I talked to were bullish on future versions of such devices that allow more seamless roaming and voice over Wi-Fi to reach a far larger market....

Just Put A Cellular Tower In The Plane

Just Put A Cellular Tower In The Plane 04/21/2004 03:53 PM
In something of a followup to a post from a few weeks ago, Guy Kewney is going through every reason given for banning mobile phones on planes and explaining why it doesn't have to be true. The real issue isn't one of danger (as has been pointed out many times before), but that each phone would be contacting so many cellular towers on the ground it would cause problems for the carriers. The simple solution (mentioned in that earlier article) is to place a modified mobile cellular tower on the plane that directs all communication down in a more appropriate manner. Having found such a local tower, the phones won't broadcast out to all the other towers on the ground. Still, some are worried about the danger issue, and Kewney systematically points out why all their arguments don't make sense. Of course, none of this addresses the annoy ance issue - but perhaps we'll have airlines that advertise "no phoning" planes or zones and we'll basically be back to where we are now.

While it may seem a bit strange to some to find out that Nokia is launching a security camera product, it does signal the realization that the technology used on cellular networks isn't just about mobile phones -- but can be seen as a platform for other devices and applications. While we have no idea if the cellular camera idea makes sense or will be even remotely successful for Nokia (seems unlikely), it's basically using the same technology found in many camera phones. It has a camera, a GSM radio and MMS capabilities. It detects motion and sends an MMS video to either a mobile phone or email. This is just finding a new, non-phone application for technologies that already exist. It's about viewing the technologies as a platform, and then looking for applications to build on top of it.

Local Phone Companies Want To Block
In-Coming Mobile Calls

Local Phone Companies Want To Block
In-Coming Mobile Calls 08/16/2004 05:00 AM
The telephone system works because the owners of various networks agree to accept calls from other networks. What would happen if one network decided not to accept calls from certain other networks? It looks like folks in (or calling into) Iowa may find out at some point. The East Buchanan Telephone Co-op announced plans to block all calls from mobile phones to its customers, but he Iowa Utilities Board issued a two-week injunction to stop them from actually going through with it. Unfortunately, the AP article on the topic is a little short on details, but some good ones are provided over on the Interesting People list which gives some background on interconnect fees. Basically, what appears to be happening here (which is not at all clear from the AP article) is that the Co-Op in question is not satisfied with the interconnect rates they're receiving, and this is more or less a way for them to go on "strike" until the mobile carriers agree to pay up. Of course, you'd have to believe that the mobile carriers are in a much stronger position, having a lot more cash, and (in general) being somewhat less concerned if calls are getting through to certain landlines in Iowa. Meanwhile, the customers of the phone companies in the co-op would immediately blame their own phone company for blocking perfectly reasonable calls, and may even push them towards competing phone companies. It is a way for the Co-Op to make some noise to try to get the much bigger carriers to settle this business dispute, but they're clearly coming from a much weaker position. Of course, it also seems highly unlikely that regulators would actually let these phone companies block calls for very long, as the last thing they want to do is give other small telcos any ideas that might put up all sorts of walled gardens in the phone system. Of course, this wouldn't really be all that different from the VoIP world, where Adelphia and Frontier were recently (purposely or not) blockin g VoIP calls from AT&T.
