4G Technology

4G refers to the fourth generation of cellular wireless standards. It is a successor to 3G and 2G families of standards. The nomenclature of the generations generally refers to a change in the fundamental nature of the service, non-backwards compatible transmission technology and new frequency bands. The first was the move from 1981 analog (1G) to digital (2G) transmission in 1992. This was followed, in 2002, by 3G multi-media support, spread spectrum transmission and at least 200 kbit/s, soon expected to be followed by 4G, which refers to all-IP packet-switched networks, mobile ultra-broadband (gigabit speed) access and multi-carrier transmission


Technology makes new life in this world. Communication systems are the major part in our technology. 3G communication systems are still facing many problems in communication network. 4G technology “Fourth Generation communication systems” are the new latest technology which deals with networking and communication systems. Mean while these 4G technology giving solutions for problems of 3G systems.


The standard applications of 4G communication systems to expand a wide range of new latest services like wireless communications. Depending upon data rates it introduces different types of wireless broadband communications systems.

“MAGIC” is the word which gives u proper definition of 4G communication systems. MAGIC – “Mobilemultimedia, anytime anyplace, Global mobility support, integrated wireless solution, and customized service”.One of the main parts of 4G Communications systems are “cellular broadband wireless access systems” showing much interest to developing the mobile communication technology.


New technologies always replace the old one technology. Like the way in future 4G communication systems occupies new place in wireless communication systems by replacing 3G systems. By using 4G systems we can access huge amount of data from anywhere at any time to wide range of information and services.

The main functions of 4G systems are to handle huge amount of data, pictures, etc. the main future vision of 4G systems are to maintain and develop the different types of networks using IP -internet protocol as single protocol. Because of this service we can access every technical application.

Every time Latest technologies will focus on business expectations. 4G systems and its applications make growth in the consumer and business development. Survey of Japan local papers says that few top countries are Japan, china, and South Korea are that they decided to work on developing new technologies such as 4G mobiles. Few days back one meeting was happened in Seoul in March with officials from the above countries, they decided to work and share information on developing 4G mobile phones.

4G mobile phone technology supports IPv6 – “Internet Protocol version 6 and provides faster communication speeds “100 mbps “, capacity and diverse usage formats. These formats would support for other public networks such as optical fiber and wireless local area networks.

4G is now currently an ideal. Still, some technology companies they are incorporating latest technical advances into cellular technology. They use to calling “3.5G” techno. Someday this 4G networks may replace all existing 2.5G and 3G technologies .

3G Technology

Mobile telephones, the 1st generation of which were introduced in the mid-1980's, have been constantly evolving since their inception. Today, over 2B mobile phones are in usage and around 80% of the world's population is within reach of a Mobile Phone Adoption in Developing Countries and mobile signals. Mobile phones have traditionally been used for voice communications, but today can serve as the platform for a variety of communication outputs -- including data and video.

International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT--2000), better known as 3G or 3rd Generation, is a generation of standards for mobile phones and mobile telecommunications services fulfilling specifications by the International Telecommunication Union. Application services include wide-area wireless voice telephone, mobile Internet access, video calls and mobile TV, all in a mobile environment. However, with the capability for high-speed wireless data transfer, 3G has enhanced or made possible a myriad of additional applications such as mobile video, secure mobile , location-based services, and audio on demand. For example, using 2.5G (or a slightly better version of second-generation wireless) a three-minute song takes between six and nine minutes to download. Using 3G, it can download in 11 to 90 seconds.
There are currently almost 100 million 3G wireless subscribers worldwide. The US, with over 200 million mobile subscribers, crossed the 10% mark for 3G penetration for the first time in 2006, while Japan stayed in the lead with over 50% of its subscribers using 3G phones. As 3G adoption accelerates, 3G carriers, handset manufacturing, infrastructure equipment makers and 3G application providers stand to gain. Wireless Internet Service Providers(WISP's), carriers without the wherewithal or financial resources to upgrade their networks, and companies that provide services which are standard under 3G (i.e email access), will be in a position to lose.

While the 3G market may be definitely gaining traction, the industry is rapidly approaching a crossroads, where the needs of different market segments can vary substantially, and the potential rewards (and losses) for the different technology vendors and mobile communications operators could be substantial.3G or the third-generation wireless refers to near future developments in personal & business wireless technology, especially relating to mobile communications. 3G or The Third Generation will usher in many benefits as roaming capability, broad bandwidth and high speed communication.

CLOUD COMPUTING

An emerging IT delivery model—Cloud Computing—can significantly reduce IT costs & complexities while improving workload optimization and service delivery. Cloud computing is massively scalable, provides a superior user experience, and is characterized by new, internet-driven economy.


The much talked about Cloud Computing promises to change the way Information Technology people look at delivering IT and the way people perceive it.

The name Cloud Computing was inspired by the symbol that’s often used to represent the internet in flow charts and diagrams. Cloud Computing is a general term used for anything involves delivering hosted services over the internet. These services are broadly divided into three categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service and Platform-as-a-Service, Software-as-a-Service. A cloud service has three different characteristics that differentiate it from traditional hosting. It is sold on demand, typically by the minute or the hour it is elastic-a user can have as much or as little of a service as they want at any given time. The service is fully managed by the provider and the consumer needs nothing but a computer and internet access. Significant innovations in virtualizations and distributed computing, improved access to high speed internet and a weak economy, have accelerated interest in Cloud Computing.

ELECTROMAGNETIC BOMB: A WEAPON OF ELECTRONIC MASS DESTRUCTION


The next Pearl Harbor will not announce itself with a searing flash of nuclear light or with the plaintive wails of those dying of Ebola or its genetically engineered twin. You will hear a sharp crack in the distance. By the time you mistakenly identify this sound as an innocent clap of thunder, the civilized world will have become unhinged.

Fluorescent lights and television sets will glow eerily bright, despite being turned off. The aroma of ozone mixed with smoldering plastic will seep from outlet covers as electric wires arc and telephone lines melt. Your Palm Pilot and MP3 player will feel warm to the touch, their batteries overloaded.

Your computer, and every bit of data on it, will be toast. And then you will notice that the world sounds different too. The background music of civilization, the whirl of internal-combustion engines, will have stopped. Save a few diesels, engines will never start again. You, however, will remain unharmed, as you find yourself thrust backward 200 years, to a time when electricity meant a lightning bolt fracturing the night sky.


Anyone who's been through a prolonged power outage knows that it's an extremely trying experience. Within an hour of losing electricity, you develop a healthy appreciation of all the electrical devices you rely on in life.

A couple hours later, you start pacing around your house. After a few days without lights, electric heat or TV, your stress level shoots through the roof. But in the grand scheme of things, that's nothing. If an outage hits an entire city, and there aren't adequate emergency resources, people may die from exposure, companies may suffer huge productivity losses and millions of dollars of food may spoil.

If a power outage hit on a much larger scale, it could shut down the electronic networks that keep governments and militaries running. We are utterly dependent on power, and when it's gone, things get very bad, very fast.


An electromagnetic bomb, or e-bomb, is a weapon designed to take advantage of this dependency. But instead of simply cutting off power in an area, an e-bomb would actually destroy most machines that use electricity.

High Power Electromagnetic Pulse generation techniques and High Power Microwave technology have matured to the point where practical E-bombs (Electromagnetic bombs) are becoming technically feasible, with new applications in both Strategic and Tactical Information Warfare. The development of conventional E-bomb devices allows their use in non-nuclear confrontations. This paper discusses aspects of the technology base, weapon delivery techniques and proposes a doctrinal foundation for the use of such devices in warhead and bomb applications.

An e-bomb (electromagnetic bomb) is a weapon that uses an intense electromagnetic field to create a brief pulse of energy that affects electronic circuitry without harming humans or buildings. At low levels, the pulse temporarily disables electronics systems; mid-range levels corrupt computer data. Very high levels completely destroy electronic circuitry, thus disabling any type of machine that uses electricity, including computers, radios, and ignition systems in vehicles. Although not directly lethal, an e-bomb would devastate any target that relies upon electricity: a category encompassing any potential military target and most civilian areas of the world as well.

Sixth Sense Technology May Change How We Look at the World Forever

I can't really describe Sixth Sense in a line. Sure, it is a system that projects information about what surrounds you over objects' surfaces, but it's also much more. You just have to watch it:

Basically, Sixth Sense is a mini-projector coupled with a camera and a cellphone—which acts as the computer and your connection to the Cloud, all the information stored on the web. Sixth Sense can also obey hand gestures, like in the infamous Minority Report.

However, instead of requiring you to be in front of a big screen like Tom Cruise, Sixth Sense can do its magic—and a lot more—everywhere, even while you are jumping hysteric over Oprah's sofa.

The camera recognizes objects around you instantly, with the micro-projector overlaying the information on any surface, including the object itself or your hand. Then, you can access or manipulate the information using your fingers. Need to make a call? Extend your hand on front of the projector and numbers will appear for you to click. Need to know the time? Draw a circle on your wrist and a watch will appear. Want to take a photo? Just make a square with your fingers, highlighting what you want to frame, and the system will make the photo—which you can later organize with the others using your own hands over the air.

But those are just novelty applications. The true power of Sixth Sense lies on its potential to connect the real world with the Internet, and overlaying the information on the world itself. Imagine you are at the supermarket, thinking about what brand of soap is better. Or maybe what wine you should get for tonight's dinner. Just look at objects, hold them on your hands, and Sixth Sense will show you if it's good or bad, or if it fits your preferences or not.

Now take this to every aspect of your everyday life. You can be in a taxi going to the airport, and just by taking out your boarding pass, Sixth Sense will grab real time information about your flight and display it over the ticket. You won't need to do any action. Just hold it in front of your and it will work.

The key here is that Sixth Sense recognizes the objects around you, displaying information automatically and letting you access it in any way you want, in the simplest way possible.

Clearly, this has the potential of becoming the ultimate "transparent" user interface for accessing information about everything around us. If they can get rid of the colored finger caps and it ever goes beyond the initial development phase, that is. But as it is now, it may change the way we interact with the real world and truly give everyone complete awareness of the environment around us.
