Telecom Towers Infrastructure Modification

Theme:
This post is regarding the modification of the telecom tower designs for more signal coverage and lower expenditures on tower implantation in urban areas.

Idea:
All the inputs are given from my personal studies in various telecom companies.
In urban areas, normally the tower implantation distance is taken as approx 300-400 meters.
If the tower height is increased and using signal amplifiers the signal strength can also be increased covering more area.

Revolution:
The number of tower implantation can be reduced up to an extent and which is cost specific as a single tower costs around 3 million INR. Also, because of signal amplification good signals can be provided to the users.

IF ANY SUGGESSTIONS ARE THERE OR IF THERE IS ANY FULL REJECTION OF THE CONCEPT PLEASE FEEL FREE TO POST AS THIS IS BASED ON PERSONAL STUDY AND YES I AM NOT AN ELECTRONICAL OR CIVIL ENGINEER. :)

CONGRATS ISRO!!

We have found bisleri and coke bottles on moon..Just kiddin.
Recent discovery of water particles on moon had became a large leap which will take mankind to further discovery of many hidden facts and new inventions. This surprising finding has come about through the ingenuity, perseverance and international cooperation between NASA and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). Hail India..It is a work of human not belonging to any particular country but to whole mankind. Congrats the sci-community for the great achievement.

Demystifying Dragon..Learnings from China.

In a talk organized by the Emerging Markets club and the Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital (EVC) club at the Indian School of Business (ISB), Ramakrishna Velamuri, Visiting Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship at the ISB, spoke about ‘Demystifying the Dragon- What the world can learn from China’.

Some of the differences between the two largest emerging markets – higher rate of migration of labor from agriculture to Industry in China, lower percentage of labor force in the service sector in India and lower capital efficiency in China. “China had to invest a lot more to maintain its nine to ten percent growth,” . Adding to it, even though India had the advantage of having a younger population, China scored in the areas of technology diffusion, gender equality and health-care. “Literacy, health care and gender equality were the drivers of economic growth, not the consequence of economic growth,”.

Velamuri said the democratic system of government, a free press, dependence on private initiatives compared to government measures and lower dependence on foreign trade were some beneficial factors for India. The historical neglect of primary education, delivery of healthcare to the masses, gender equality, physical infrastructure, speed of political decision making and manufacturing costs were some unfavorable areas for India vis-à-vis China.

The Emerging Markets Club is focused on the rapidly changing face of the global economy and the increasing importance of the emerging economies in global affairs. And the EVC club focuses on encouraging and fostering entrepreneurship among the student body, provides practical learning opportunities to minimize risk and maximize success in ventures, and facilitates interaction with experienced entrepreneurs, industry experts and venture capitalists to gain insight and inspiration.

IBM blasts off with ThinkPads in space

When the space shuttle Endeavour blasts off tomorrow, astronauts aboard will be equipped with IBM ThinkPad notebooks for the 11-day mission.

This isn?t the first time that the portable computers have been put to work in space. In 1993, NASA astronauts used an IBM portable during a mission to repair the crippled Hubble telescope. But their increased use in space missions and on international space stations demonstrates the versatility of portables in space.

For its part, IBM is trying to get as much public relations value out of the mission as possible, especially as the company plans to introduce a series of new products next month.

IBM has been touting what it calls the ?edge? of the network, or EON, as a guiding principal behind all its future PC products. Big Blue in February plans to rebrand its PC line and introduce simpler models, including one built around a LCD display.

Taking a page from science fiction, IBM plans to show off prototypes of a new portable, a wearable PC based on the ThinkPad 560. The U.S. Army is currently testing the wearable PC, and NASA reportedly has expressed some interest in using the technology.

Portables on space missions make a lot of sense, International Data Corp. analyst Roger Kay said. By relying on portable notebooks instead of installed PCs, NASA can spread its computing power and apply technology to specific tasks.

"I wouldn?t mind having my ThinkPad floating there next to me ready for whenever I want to use it," Kay quipped.

The shuttle?s notebooks don?t exactly float freely, but are held down by Velcro strips so astronauts aren?t injured by a flying PC. Keeping in mind that shuttle astronauts work in zero gravity, it is not unusual for portables to be attached to the shuttle?s wall or ceilings.

Three varieties of ThinkPads will be used on the mission. The crew will rely on several ThinkPad 760XDs as a general-purpose Payload and General Support Computers, "or PGSC, a good NASA acronym," said Andy Klausman, a staff engineer with Houston-based United Space Alliance, a contractor for the space shuttle.

Those units will primarily be used for email, sending files back and forth between the orbiter and the ground, displaying a world map with the shuttle?s current location, and tracking where gear is stowed.

A ThinkPad 755C will collect data from a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver during the shuttle?s ascent into space and re-entry. NASA eventually plans to incorporate GPS features into the shuttle?s navigational system.

Endeavour?s main mission will be one of radar topography, for which it will in part rely on ThinkPad 760Es. Two separate antennas separated will collect radar images to formulate three-dimensional maps of the earth.

One of the frequent problems for the portables is the effect of space travel. While the notebooks generally survive the ride into orbit, other things can potentially go wrong.

"The notebooks are not designed for space flight, so we have to be aware of the impact the environment can do, such as radiation hitting the memory and changing it," Klausman said. "That happens every flight."

So far radiation has not seriously compromised data collected on missions, but the potential for problems is one reason why NASA doesn?t use the IBM portables for critical operations.

NASA also locks down the power supplies, so the crew doesn?t accidentally kick them loose while they are floating around the shuttle space.

The notebooks are attached to a local-area network on the shuttle and connect remotely to a NASA computer for data transfer, sending email and transmitting other information. NASA eventually plans to use wireless networking. All the notebooks run Windows 95 with tentative plans to switch to Windows NT.

Some of the ThinkPads are equipped with videoconferencing equipment, which is used by medical personnel as well as families on the ground to talk with astronauts in space.

The International Space Station, which is partially constructed and tentatively scheduled to become operational later this year, also carries IBM ThinkPads. U.S. and European astronauts also left at least three ThinkPad 750Cs on the now defunct Russian space station Mir.

The space shuttle was originally scheduled to launch today, but was postponed due to computer problems and poor weather conditions in Florida, according to CNN.

LIMIT OF COMPUTERIZATION w.r.t. Security Breaches

What to you think about the limit up to which computerization take place?

Reason:
If every thing like power supply; your daily work starting from
bathing, brushing your teeth to sleeping; id cards; studies;
transportation; biological activities; financial information; top
secrets; emergency help services etc. then in view of the scene of
internet security breaches it may prove fatal.

You may take the practical demonstration in the movie Die Hard 4.0...
