LAELIST:


Thanks for your opinion.
With the bandwidth we have from all this wireless providers in the country, can u sell iptv, hdtv,voip and cable tv with over 300 channels on there network. Even you cannot enjoy a youtube video without delay. But trust me if you have copper drop ran into you house from the tap on a fiber optic network. I promise 10mbs at your home or office.

Laelist,
Its really not about Copper-or-no-Copper. The frontiers of technology have pushed the limits beyond that precipice. Its about the Transport feed Capacity. Except in cases where the Wireless coverage has issues (viz-a-viz blindspots, areas with intermittent coverage) - usually arising due to bad RF Network Planning.
Let me give an analogy. That a bucket can carry 50 liters of fluid (liquid or gas) doesn't mean it always contains up to that much all the time. Usually DSL links can carry up to 2MB as a minimum, most I've seen advertised anyway. Even If you have that deployed in Nigeria, If you don't have the aggregate traffic provisioned from Overseas dimensioned to carry your estimated traffic you'll still have issues. Glo-1 Cable has a capacity of 640 Giga bytes/s that doesn't necessarily translate to the actual bandwidth Glo will be pulling into Nigeria from Portugal. Thats what its capable of carrying.
WiFi is currently capable of carrying a data rate of 300Mbps (Throughput is averagely half of that, the rest is overhead) with the latest 802.11n Access Points at effective range. WiMAX 802.16e which is the mobile standard, is capable of delivering 2Mbps at 3 - 4km with the help of OFDM and Smart MIMO+Beamforming and and thats a fact. Proper planning brings Fiber to the Curb its terminated on a central box and then copper/wireless (depending on the provider) brings it into your home.
Case in Point the issue is really not with your Access network but with the Transport (in Nigeria anyway).

ideas78, hi
haven't heard from you on this topic,
Would love your input.

AjanleKoko:

Not true at all.

AjanleKoko, Seconded.
[quote][/quote]
Hmmm, Actually LAELIST, the inverse is actually the case. You said it yourself - Wire-LESS! Its reach is unbeaten. Again the planning is the Key.

LAELIST:

Can someone explain why Nigeria has been bombarded with all this short cut telecommunication systems (Wireless). Why  can't all this so called telecom companies in Nigeria deploy the real wired network.

*sighs*
Infrastructure my brother, Infrastructure.
Any good Telecom Layout still needs a solid wired infrastructure.
Why are we sick and tired of having the same road dug up three times last year and we're now hearing because Etisalat just got in their going to dig it up again in June ? because you better lay your own infrastructure yourself else you'll keep waiting to roll-out forever.
10Gbps NIC's are here but they'll be used for Distribution as against Access networks. Usually between switches. There's nothing wrong with Wireless (read: Mobility)- IF you have your coverage and capacity well planned out along with back-haul links that don't choke on the aggregate traffic (enter the capability of LTE). The higher the capacity of your wired infrastructure the better your wireless can carry.
FTTH (Fiber To The Home), DSL, and Cable networks exist as common place in Developed Nations because they value and maintain their infrastructure.
Let me put it like this. Its like giving Governor Fashola an ultimatum to build a state-wide sewage network and he awards El-Rufai the contract !
Thats the kind of task it is. Wireless = cheaper (to an extent & within a certain premise).
Truth is costs would have been cheaper for all our Operators if NITEL was truly functional and not burdened with so much inefficiency and corruption. NITEL's existing Infrastructure was really something. ( I say 'was' because technology has really changed much since the GSM telco's started penetrating the market.)

Hi lasunk,
let me have your email id put it in the format [myname].at.[mywebmail provider,e.g yahoo.com]
I'll send you whatever I can come up with. Are you looking for something for Path Profile Analysis and Link budget calculations for Microwave Links ?

dejirule:

Please Nairalanders, I need a frequency selective Electromagnetic Radiation Measuring Instrument, can I get it in Nigeria.
-Very Urgent Please

Hello dejirule,
Its difficult to provide any helpful information because the device you are asking for will fall within range of everything from light meters and spectrum analysers to Geiger-Muller counters. (Electromagnetic Radiation is too wide spectra - AM Radio waves to Cosmic Rays) So please be a lil' more specific so we could help out.

Ask of Mr.Femi

Bookmarked!
The greatest things started small.
I'm watching this space.
Beaf, you're on point.

Tight thread.
Permit me to chip in me two bytes of wisdom.
I'm not an entrepreneur yet, but I'm grooming myself - to start thinking like one.
A very wise person said "Money is simply a reward for solving a problem" : meaning if you don't have money you're not solving a problem or you're not solving it for the right person.
I studied engineering so permit me to be a little scientific (viz-a-viz, exact laws).
Matter - anything that has weight and occupies space. Currency - "something that is used as a medium of exchange; money. the fact or quality of being widely accepted and circulated from person to person"
Now moving on. Much has been said with respect to the need for the entrepreneurship spirit to move this nation ahead. But I'll like to chip a few things.
A Historical perspective.
Its been understood that the wealthiest of men were landowners from time immemorial till about the 1600's. Wealth was agrarian - mainly based on agriculture. This was marked by men having many wives having many children, thus having a home-grown workforce. After the invention of the steam engine and the printing press, large families became a liability. Families became more nucleated. People no longer settled primarily around fertile ground watered by flowing streams. They settled around factories. [The 'projects' in New York was the result of factories that shut down and the people lacking transferable skill]. Wealth went to factory owners, inventors and innovators. Things took a turn again at about the 1960's with the 'invention' of the Internet by the US military. Information has since become the commodity of this age. People into Forex would understand. Thus, people that have timely access to information brought about by the ease of communication. Point - it is important to know the current state in which wealth exists around you. The work is in knowing how to change its state.
You can carry water in a balloon, in a basket or in a bucket. It only takes knowing when to freeze it, or boil it as the situation demands by the application of the right amount of energy.
I started by defining matter and then currency.
I will raise dust by raising this assertion but here goes: Money is currency, its a form of capital, it is not capital
Capital is "that which you inject into labor that makes it more productive and produces surplus value. It is the invisible life within an asset or that which can be extracted from an asset which gives more life to labor and makes it valuable."
Before, I start getting flamed and becoming the object of tonnes of hate mail, please take a few minutes to think about that statement.
Up until the mid-70's i think, the USD was backed by Gold value stored away in air-tight Forth Knox. Now the value of money has to do with its currency. Think of it, life is about exchange. Carbon Cycles, Nitrogen Cycles, Ecosystems. The work is in adding value to what is being substituted and value is relative.
I'm open to correction if there's anything amiss in all I've said. Cheers.

Seconded. Objective posts based on facts and focused. No wailing (sorry, to all the Bob Marley fans) but with a view to proffering solutions
Very welcome.

Funny someone sent me a link to this youtube video this morning.
Truth is hard, truth is bitter, sadly, it remains the truth. I don't necessarily love the truth, but I prefer it any day.
We'd better wake up. Quick!

Hello
Hank, methinks it depends on your location. I'd recommend Cobranet's U-GO (beware it has data caps), or Swift Broadband (in-law uses it, and its been quite reliable). issue is don't think both these guys have any backup link apart from their primary SAT-3 link and SAT-3 does go down from time to time. my 2 cents

It starts with having a sense of responsibility [read:response ability - the ability to respond rightly] and personal ownership towards your duties. Your integrity going past the level of "I tried my best" to that of "I delivered". If you chose to be a mediocre working for someone else, you'll find it tough developing discipline, an eagle's eye for business opportunity, and a "nothing is impossible" attitude all at once while growing the business, not that its not possible.
There's a book I read in bits and bytes - 19 Contrarian Laws of Success. One of the Chapters reads "Never Meet Your Customers Expectation!" the twist is that in the competitive world of business only what product or service falls short or stands out is remembered first before all the average folks. Exceeding your customers (or employees) expectations is what puts you ahead of Your competition.

very challenging thread. Sincerely, once I saw the topic I closed my eyes to guess who started the thread, and I didn't miss.
I read a book a while back "What Rich People Know and try to Keep Secret". Among the Core Idea of the book is having a USP. A Unique Selling Point. In sales there must be clear advantage your product has, a definite and quantifiable amount of value it adds that makes people put their money on it no matter the price. The same in life.
What skill makes you indispensable to your employer ? If you're not in the asset column guess what column you are on ?
The Soft skills are worth nothing alone (Its like having to eat only salt, no hunger can be that bad!) If you don't have core skills, and in the ripple of the economic meltdown the smart guys are developing multiple concentric competencies. Honing a set of skills that are It helps to think of yourself as a brand. Like Obama said last night, the buck passing stops with me.

Before I go ahead to delve into the question about the RAKE receiver I'd like to give you a more wholistic view. Spread Spectrum techniques of which CDMA is one. It was (much like other technologies ) developed by the US military. In Wireless Communications we have Narrow-band communication and Spread Spectrum. Narrow band - I was one of those kids that ran to put on the TV and sung the National anthem with my whole heart and then listen to the opening message on NTA 2 channel 5 (yes, all for the love of Voltron!). but there was somepart of that opening announcement that kept ringing in my head 'cos it sounded so sci-fi ", with a radiated power of 100kW". Narrow band communication has to do with transmitting on a small slice of frequency at high power. thats why we have 96.9 Cool FM and you can listen in from the fringe of Sango, Ota. They transmit at a certain frequency so once you hit 96.95 the audio gets hazy an at 97.00 you hear the crackle of static. High power - to cover a large distance and maintain a high SNR kilometers from the transmitter. You tune your receiver in and leave it there. for FM the carrier is about 200kHz wide, thats as wide as the channel width needs to be. This is the issue with NB - interference and interception. If I don't want you to listen to Cool FM I start transmitting jibberish on a frequency close to theirs.If you were trying to send top-secret information through the airwaves, I just scan the different radio bands and listen in. That wouldnt work in battle. So they invented Spread Spectrum.
With spread spectrum, our channel bandwidth is made to be a multiple of the original, so we use way more bandwidth than we need and the catch is that we turn down the power. I forgot to mention, with wireless the SNR is key. Signal to Noise Ratio, you must have way more meaningful signal than noise( like a nigerian home video: the reason I can bear listening to the soundtrack is because the total time of the movie exceeds the total time of the many songs they sing in it ;-)). The lowering the power and spreading the channel is like taking a rather tool stool, the type with fancy steps tennis umpire uses that could only sit a single slim person and hammering it into a bench that was normal height but can now sit four to five hefty guys. same material, same volume you just altered the dimensions. The reason this is done is to make the signal look like noise! Why? so the enemy couldnt detect it. There are two variants - FHSS and DSSS. Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum and Direct Sequnce Spread Spectrum.
Please permit me to start with my weird analogies again.
FHSS (an application is the ubiquitious bluetooth). Do you remember playing 'suwe' in primary school ? for the aje's who don't know its african 'hop-scotch'. Imagine You and I stand infront of the chalked out 'suwe' markings. we have each square and its parallel marked with the same number. picture two rows and six columns and that I have 24 oranges I want to give you. I shout "four" I jump to the square marked four, you jump to four also and I toss you an orange. I shout out "one" I jump, you jump, and I toss another. On and on until you have all 24 oranges in your hands. Thats the 'Frequncy Hopping'. If its still not clear, let me try this example. Instead of transmitting all our top-secret information on 96.9 FM for all radio listeners tuned in at the time to hear here's what we do. Imagine the top-secret info is "Eko O Ni Baje O!" (& no, I haven't joined AC, yet!). I've alerted you before hand to tune into Brila 88.5FM at exactly 6.00pm, 92.3 Inspiration FM at 6.02pm, Rythm 93.7FM at 6.04pm, 97.6 Metro FM at 6.06pm and The Beat 99.9FM at 6.08pm. At 6.00pm I say "Eko", zoom off to Inspiration to say "O", at 93.7 by 6.04pm all I say is "Ni" and on and on.No-one listening to any individual station can make any sense of what was said at those different times. Its the ability to keep changing your frequency with time that is the prime. Its spread spectrum because we needed five radio stations to transmit five simple words beacause we trying to send it securely. I'll get back to this in a bit.
I hope my jist is making sense ?

In the foregoing example the amount of space available is the Frequency Spectrum which is split among the pairs.Once it runs out no more space for communication until the others are through talking. The paired up folks cannot move outside their partitioned space, well as long as they want to keep talking with their intended. After a while the room is made up of cubicles. No-one's voice level is expected to rise above what his listener can meaningfully hear. That is no shouting and disturbing others in the adjacent cubicles. The thickness of the partition is our guard frequency to keep us from interfering with others.
Next is TDM. Here we all stay in the room, no partitioning so everyone can walk around freely. But we're still paired but we have a stopwatch. Anyone that wants to talk with his 'pairee' is giving a duration to speak for while others are quiet. When your time is up you both keep quiet and its someone else's turn. Until everyone has a go speaking then we start again from the beginning, "round and round we go". Here, the exists a short period when everyone is silent at the expiration of the alloted time, while we all wait for the next two to get started. Thats our guard time to keep us from interfering with others. In essence everyone has the whole room for a short period of time. You are king for a while then you lose everything and have to wait till its your turn again! In FDM you're king over a very tiny piece of land for as long as you're 'pairee' stays there with you.

1st Off Happy new Year to everyone that, it was wonderful rubbing minds together last year, I'm looking forward to doing it with everyone on the Forum again this year.
So, looking forward,
Let Me start first of with an explanation of Access Technologies.
Except in scenarios where the communication link is dedicated between two parties, there has to be some sort of channel mechanism to manage the way users access the link. The are two I'm aware of:
Random Access mechanisms where users contend with one another to use the channel to be able to send information e.g ALOHA. What we currently have as 'Ethernet' evolved from this random contentions to CSMA - Carrier Sensing Multiple Access, where users listen, that is sensing the medium, before transmitting on it. Its like at a gathering, its rude to interrupt while others are speaking, so you wait for when no-one is talking and then speak.
Now CDMA ,  Code Division Multiple Access is one of many Multiple Access Technologies. The others are FDMA, TDMA and not so popular SDMA. (Frequency, Time and Spatial). Now there's FDM, TDM, CDM ('M' here representing Multiplexing, and there's FDMA, TDMA, CDMA ('Multiple Access'). I'll get back to this in a bit.
An illustration is back to my previous example, Lets imagine we we're all physically present at a specific geographical location. Imagine that we all just started talking, not minding if the person we were trying to rap with was listening or even present! Thats Chaos.
Now, FDM is pairing each one of us with the person you intend to communicate with and then partitioning a section of the room off for just the two of you. You can have that small space for as long as you want to talk. when you're both done you come out. But remember that the amount of space is finite so at some point the amount of space could run out.

Track of the Brave, 100% Personal !
Strongly Opinionated about my career track; took a job with a major service provider that pays almost 60% lower than a Telecom Trainer job I was offered somewhere else. (desperately wanted real-world, brain-racking, finger-numbing experience). I work 9am - 6pm, including two Saturdays a week & Public Holidays. Spent three months out on the field climbing peoples roofs and overhead tanks, was later recommended to be moved to the NOC. Time flies once I get to the office. Basically, I'm loving what I do & doing what I love.
