Growth in high-throughput communications satellite capacity continues with the Dec. 9 launch of the first of Inmarsat's four Global Xpress Ka-band spacecraft. By the end of 2014, when three of the new Inmarsat-5s are planned to be in orbit, Inmarsat will be the first operator to provide global Ka-band services to fixed and mobile terminals with speeds up to 50 Mbps.

The Global Xpress constellation of Boeing 702HP satellites, which includes a fourth spacecraft on order to provide redundancy and additional capacity, represents a $1.6 billion investment by Inmarsat in the mobile broadband market. Satellites are a popular solution for mobile communications, such as to aircraft in flight and ships at sea. Carriers such as United Airlines, Southwest Airlines and JetBlue plan to add Wi-Fi across their entire fleets of aircraft.

High-throughput satellites are a significant development in the industry. They can handle much larger amounts of data, at higher speeds, than traditional satellites through frequency reuse and spot beams. Satellites can aim beams at specific locations, allowing them to use the same frequency for multiple customers and increasing the bandwidth a satellite can handle.

The Ka-band portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is popular for high-throughput satellites. This is partly because it lends itself to spot beams, as it is narrower than bands such as Ku. Ka-band is also readily available, as it is not used for other applications. Ku-band, for example, is used for direct-to-home television broadcasting. Satellites such as EchoStar XVII and ViaSat-1 have popularized the use of Ka-band for satellite broadband Internet. But the high-throughput technology can be used on satellites that operate at any frequency.

Ka-band satellites will be a primary supplier of the bandwidth needed to provide in-air broadband Internet connections, especially on oceanic routes, where terrestrial transmitters are not available. Beginning in 2015, Gogo in the U.S. and OnAir in Europe will provide Global Xpress services to airlines. Honeywell will produce the avionics and service the business aviation market. Boeing will sell civil and military Ka-band capacity to the U.S. government.

Intelsat also is eyeing the aviation market for its planned fleet of EpicNG high-throughput satellites, the first two of which—Intelsat 29e to be launched in 2015 and 33e to follow in 2016—will provide broadband services using Ku-band frequencies, which it argues can penetrate weather better than Ka-band. Panasonic Avionics has selected the 29e and 33e satellites for its global in-flight communications services, which include Wi-Fi, mobile phone and live television. Boeing is under contract to build five 702MP medium-power satellites for Intelsat.

The growth of high-throughput communications for mobile computing has blurred the divide between fixed satellite service providers such as Intelsat and mobile satellite service (MSS) providers like Inmarsat. In an attempt to capture the market for mobile data, many traditionally fixed satellite service providers have tapped the MSS market. For example, satellite companies such as SES in Europe and Telesat in North America now sell capacity to the airline in-flight broadband and shipping markets.

Although Inmarsat's Global Xpress will provide the first global Ka-frequency broadband services from a single operator, there are several regional high-throughput satellites already in service and more are planned. Launched in 2012, ViaSat-1 provides Ka-band coverage of North America and Hawaii. JetBlue and another major U.S. airline were expected to begin using ViaSat for in-flight internet and television services by the end of 2013.

At the time, the Space Systems/Loral-built ViaSat-1 was the highest-capacity communication satellite to be launched: That crown is set to be taken by ViaSat-2 when it is orbited in mid-2016. A Boeing 702HP satellite, ViaSat-2 will increase Ka-band capacity over North America and extend coverage over Central America, the Caribbean, the northern edge of South America and on to the primary aeronautical and maritime routes across the Atlantic.

Other regional Ka-band service providers include Abu Dhabi's Al Yahsat, which operates two EADS Astrium/Thales Alenia Space satellites covering the Middle East, Africa, Europe and South-West Asia. Eutelsat covers Europe with the Astrium-built KA-Sat. Australia's NewSat plans to serve the Middle East, East Africa and South West Asia beginning in 2015, with the launch of the Lockheed Martin-built Jabiru-1. Before then, NewSat's Jabiru-2 payload is expected to be launched in 2014 onboard Malaysia's Measat 3b geostationary satellite. Jabiru-2 will cover Australia, Papua New Guinea, Timor Leste and the Solomon Islands.

O3b Networks, which is building a medium-Earth-orbit Ka-band constellation designed to bring broadband connectivity to the “other 3 billion” customers in the developing world, launched the first four of 12 Thales Alenia-built satellites in June 2013. The delayed launch of the second four is set for the first quarter of 2014. O3b's investors include SES and Google.

While O3b's satellites each weigh just 700 kg (1,543 lb.), the trend has been toward larger, increasingly powerful spacecraft better able to support smaller ground equipment. These satellites can handle the large number of high-power transponders needed to transmit high-definition video, broadband Internet and other data services that are in demand. Lithium-ion batteries and gallium-arsenide solar cells are being used to increase satellite power output.

Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Space Systems/Loral (now owned by Canada's MacDonald, Dettwiler & Associates) have seen success by focusing on large satellites. In July 2013, the European Space Agency launched the Astrium-developed Alphasat, Europe's largest-ever communications satellite. Exceeding 6,600 kg on launch, Alphasat has joined Inmarsat's L-band mobile-communications fleet. For future missions, the new Alphabus design will be able to provide up to 22 kW. of power to advanced payloads weighing up to 2,000 kg.

But the market for smaller satellites is also opening up. Asia Broadcast Satellite and Mexico's Satmex are jointly procuring four satellites based on Boeing's new 702SP bus, a lightweight platform that uses all-electric propulsion to reduce launch mass and cost. Xenon-ion propulsion has been used in the past to keep satellites in their intended orbits, but not to put them into orbit after launch. This is because electric propulsion is slower than chemical thrusters, and it can take up to six months to reach orbit. The advantage is that ion propulsion does not require the large amounts of oxygen and hydrogen that are used as propellant. This can save substantial weight, reducing launch costs and increasing the number of transponders a satellite can carry. Boeing, meanwhile, has launched its Phantom Phoenix line of small satellite prototypes, available in three configurations: 500-1,000 kg, 180 kg and 4-5 kg.

Operational constellations of smaller, lower-orbiting satellites are being renewed and extended. Iridium Communications plans to begin launching its 66-satellite Iridium Next constellation in 2015. Hosted-payload space on the 800-kg Thales Alenia-built spacecraft has been fully sold, so the operator is offering to launch third-party payloads on stand-alone satellites under the name Iridium Prime. This will take advantage of the existing satellite production line and operating infrastructure. The major hosted-payload customer for Iridium Next is Aireon, a joint venture between Iridium and Nav Canada to provide space-based tracking of aircraft in remote and oceanic airspace using automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast.

Orbcomm plans to launch 18 second-generation OG2 satellites, focused on the machine-to-machine communications for asset management. The delayed launches are planned for 2014 and manufacturer Sierra Nevada Corp. has options to build another 30 of the 142-kg satellites. All the OG2s will incorporate automatic identification system (AIS) payloads to track ships globally. ExactEarth, meanwhile, launched a fifth AIS satellite for its global vessel monitoring service in November.

The top commercial communications satellite manufacturers include Boeing, EADS Astrium, Lockheed Martin, Orbital Sciences Corp., Space Systems/Loral and Thales Alenia Space. In the past, Boeing and Lockheed Martin have focused on government programs, but as these wind down, the satellite giants are reentering the commercial marketplace.

Meanwhile, to cut costs, militaries have come to rely upon the commercial sector. The U.S. Navy is supplementing UHF capacity on its UFO and MUOS constellations with capacity provided by Intelsat General, the U.K.'s Skynet service, and Italy's Sicral. The UHF capacity crunch is caused partly by delays to the Lockheed Martin-led MUOS program, which is replacing the UFO fleet, and because of increased demand for bandwidth from warfighters.

Hosted-payload schemes, under which a government pays an operator to install a government-developed payload on board a commercially operated satellite, are another concept the military hopes will increase capabilities and reduce costs. Developing a hosted payload for a commercial satellite is much cheaper than designing, building, launching and maintaining a satellite or constellation. It gives the government the flexibility to deploy a single payload where it is most needed onboard a satellite already scheduled for launch. In turn, payment for hosting payloads helps commercial operators fund new satellite purchases.

But there are hurdles in the way of hosted payloads, including a lack of dedicated funding lines, a lack of standardized business or pricing models on which to base contracts, and a development process that does not coincide with a commercial development cycle. Hoping to resolve this, the Pentagon in August released a solicitation for an “indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity” contracting vehicle that will pre-qualify bidders and enable the U.S. Air Force to regularly use space on commercial satellites to host payloads.

Some U.S. military planners are pushing for smaller, less expensive satellites as alternatives to the current crop of large, complex and costly platforms. Known as disaggregation, the concept would consist of purchasing larger numbers of smaller, relatively less sophisticated satellites than the current fleets of AEHF, MUOS and others. Networks of smaller satellites would be more resilient to attacks, and disaggregation could reduce costs and development times, but it requires a change in the Pentagon's mindset.

European nations, with considerably smaller financial resources, use data-sharing agreements to maximize their space capabilities. The U.K., France and Italy are separately developing their respective Skynet 5, Syracuse III and Sicral military communications satellites, but have agreed to bundle their services to provide NATO with UHF and SHF communications capacity.

This approach is especially useful within the reconnaissance sector, where having more satellites translates into greater coverage and increased refresh rates. Italy, France, and Germany have established a multilateral agreement by which they will exchange set periods of satellite tasking on each other's reconnaissance satellites: France's Helios 2 and Pleiades, Italy's Cosmo-SkyMed and Germany's SAR Lupe.

While some planners have discussed creating a single pan-European satellite architecture, several hurdles need to be overcome. European nations would need to purchase ground equipment that would be compatible with a new system. Governments continue to argue over the makeup and capabilities of such a system, and the most likely course will be for European countries to continue the current arrangement in which each builds smaller networks and shares capabilities.

In terms of value, the U.S. accounts for more than two-thirds of military satellite production, forecast to be worth more than $22 billion over the next decade. Over the same period, Japan will account for 7.8% of satellite purchases by value, Russia 5.7%, France 4.2% and China 4.2%. Boeing and Lockheed Martin will continue to dominate the military satellite market. Other major players include Mitsubishi, Astrium and Russia's ISS Reshetnev.

The new service has been dubbed “Asta”, which means “start” in Danish. While there are other satellite internet services available in Nigeria, Asta will stand apart for a myriad of reasons.

The service will be highly available because it is completely tailored to the needs and demands of Nigerian consumers; it is affordable and covers most of the Nigerian territory.

Asta is powered by Konnect Africa a company set up by Eutelsat in 2015 and its resources is sculpted to strategically meet the needs of the Nigerian market to provide a better satellite broadband experience that is customized for the region.

Asta delivers high speed Internet access available for consumers and enterprises across the Nigerian territory and beyond. When it comes to enterprise applications, Asta benefits companies in virtually every niche. With premier connectivity and infrastructure, clients can use Asta for everything from Small Office Home Office and Enterprise applications to complex Government solutions.

The FMT-SSAS-V1 package offers the end user a complete and dedicated SSAS solution, comprising the on-board hardware and the shore-based online management.

Secure HTTP encryption and password-protected identification ensure that sensitive data remains safe. On-board equipment consists of a transceiver with concealed antenna which is linked to two alert activation points. In the event of a security alert, when an activation point is triggered, there is no indication on board that the alarm has been raised.

A ship to shore alert message is transmitted and via the online management system is delivered to designated recipients (including Flag Administration as required), identifying the vessel and its location, the alert message is repeated at 15-minute intervals until the SSAS is reset.

Key Benefits:
• Quick and Easy Installation.
• Quick Activation can be used immediately after installation.
• Can be installed with any DC Voltage from 9~30VDC. Extremely low power consumption.
• Manage fleet security using a proven and reliable Ship Security Alert System.
• Easy Testing - Ship crew can test the SSAS unit with the help of test button provided in the junction box. No coordination is required
between the vessel and the CSO for conducting schedule tests. Test Results are emailed to the CSO when test is conducted.
• Set up secure logins to limit access to authorised parties.
• Use email and SMS for out-of-office notification.
• Control distribution of data to designated recipients.
• Alerts, polling and vessel positions. Two Alert buttons are provided to send a distress message on the unlikely event of Piracy / Armed
Attack.
• The Equipment is capable of being tested as per IMO requirement. FMS has made it easy to do the testing with the help of Test Button On-
board, without going through complicated procedures and co-ordination over phone. The equipment comes to its normal mode as soon as
test is completed.
• Backup System for communication from Ship to Shore and Shore to Ship via Inmarsat.
• Falcon Mega Solutions is the innovator of "Track by Distance" feature. Customers track the vessel by distance moved pre-set in the
system. The vessel will send the position reports when set distance is travelled. The distance parameter setting can be set between 1 to
100 Miles. This feature has very high priority over “Track by Time Interval”, where vessel may go somewhere and come back to same
location between the two position reports sent against time, but track by distance can record all the movements of the vessel, which is
really a true tracking of a vessel or object.

The Chief Technical Officer, Cezart Technologies, Mr. Olujobi Oluwaseyitan, gave some insight into fixed and mobile satellite network operations in Nigeria and the benefits to the economy. Emma Okonji brings the excerpts:

What are the core values of Cezart Technologies in relation to fixed and mobile satellite operations?

We deliver core services in fixed and mobile satellite solutions.

We are service providers and entrepreneurial managers with expertise in business development and mobile satellite telecommunications. We are into management and business development, indirect and indirect sales, sourcing and purchasing.

We provide customers with mobile satellite communications from our partners like Thuraya, Inmarsat and Iridium, and we also provide our customers with fixed satellite communications from our partners like Eutelsat, YahSat, Global Xpress, using the C-Band, Ku-Band, Ka-Band.

With successful deployments of fixed and mobile satellite solutions for varying technical demands, we consistently deliver high-quality, cost-effective and efficient communication solutions to governments, enterprise customers and international organisations. We have proven ability to improve competitive performance and generate growth by introducing strategic and tactical solutions based on analysing challenges, markets, products, people and grow opportunities.

How secured is satellite network?

Satellite network is highly secured and it has been proven by experts that hacking into a satellite network is extremely difficult because signals are directly from the satellite.

What are the benefits of satellite technology to the Nigerian economy?

Every economy, including the Nigerian economy, needs communication in every location where human beings thrive, but in situations where terrestrial network is difficult to deploy, then satellite network will play a vital role in ensuring communication flow even in the remotest area of the economy. The military for instance, can operate from any zone, but when there is no terrestrial communication link, then satellite technology becomes inevitable for communication flow. It is for this reason that Cezart Technologies plays a strong role in the fixed and mobile satellite network service offerings in Nigeria.

What are your target market strategies in providing terrestrial and satellite network services?


Our choice of target markets is strategic and we assume that it reflects our strengths and weaknesses. We are not selling to the self-reliant users, because they buy equipment as appliances based on features and price. Instead, we are selling to the service-seeking users whose needs match our strengths and weaknesses.

Regarding the small business segment, we are looking for the type of small businesses that appreciate our value-added services enough to pay for them, but aren’t big enough to have experts in-house on payroll or staff.

How does Cezart Technologies play prominently in fixed satellite services, when mobile broadband is fast driving mobile technology across globe?

Despite the service offerings of mobile broadband in driving 4G LTE technology for the terrestrial network, the fixed satellite service that we also offer in addition to mobile satellite services, operates with the V-SAT technology, using the KU Band, C Band and the KA Band to provide fixed satellite services. The KA Band offers unlimited bandwidth and it is cost effective.

How is competition driving the fixed and and mobile satellite service offerings?

There is no good business without competition that drives the market. But despite competition, Cezart Technologies stands out in the midst of competition because we offer unique services that others do not offer. We have patent solutions and sometimes we collaborate with our foreign partners to provide the best of solutions that customers needed. We go beyond sales, to offer after-sales services to customers and we do this to enhance customer experience while generating revenue. Our core strength is on service delivery and after-sales services.

Before now, people see satellite services as the best when compared to terrestrial service offerings. But we see a lot of patronage in terrestrial service today driven by broadband. What is your take on this?

The satellite and terrestrial services are two different offerings in the telecoms space, even though they complement each other. When terrestrial telecoms service was introduced years back, it competed with satellite services, because it is a lot cheaper to deploy in terms of infrastructure deployment. But the satellite is very good to deploy in areas where there are no terrestrial network or in areas where terrestrial network cannot be deployed for several economic reasons.

One major challenge with the deployment of satellite network is in its inability to withstand unfavourable weather condition. Has that changed over time?

It is a fact that satellite network has weather challenges, such that when the weather is poor, it affects satellite signals, but all that have improved with advanced technologies. Technology has helped to improve the failover time. But there is no technology without its own challenges. Even the terrestrial network technology has its own challenges.

Despite its challenges the satellite network services have come to stay because it operates perfectly in areas where the terrestrial network services cannot reach.

How affordable is satellite services to individual customers?



Over time the cost of satellite services has become affordable and many organisations and individuals are asking for satellite network services as against terrestrial services.

What are the advantages of satellite network over terrestrial network?

Both the satellite and the terrestrial networks are the key to business growth and they both function in different ways. While the satellite network is good in areas where terrestrial network cannot be deployed, the terrestrial network is cheaper to deploy. For example, the military and the maritime workers could travel or find themselves in an area where there is no terrestrial network in the course of performing their duties and they will surely need satellite network to survive in the area.

In terms of security, satellite data are highly secured because they are encrypted. Apart from the military and maritime workers, NGOs who travel for tourist attraction could be in places where they are completely cut-off from terrestrial communication and they will be forced to use satellite network for communication. Those in oil and gas industry also need satellite services when they work in offshore areas where there is no terrestrial network connectivity. People still desire to use satellite when the terrestrial network in a particular location is weak.

There are places referred to as blind spot where terrestrial service is completely cutoff and there will be need to deploy satellite network services.

What are the market trends in the telecoms industry?



The most obvious and important trend in the market is the declining prices. This has been true for years, but the trend seems to be accelerating now. We see the major manufacturers and suppliers putting systems together with amazing specs-more power, with more speed, and more bandwidth.

Another trend is ever-greater connectivity. Everybody wants to get access to the internet and every small office wants a long area network (LAN) of internet connectivity. A lot of small offices want their LAN connected to the internet.



How will you describe the projected market growth in the industry?

The projected market growth for the telecom’s industry has been one of the most highlighted aspects of new business in the marketplace today. With the coming of age of the new broadband services and the privatisation of many telecom companies, which were previously run by the government, we see that growth is going to surpass any projection that has been made in the past. It must be seen as one of the fastest growing market segments in business today. The recent mergers and takeovers are a small taste of what is waiting to happen.



What are some of the industry market needs?

Since our target market is the service seeker, the most important market needs are support, service, training, and installation, in that order. One of the key points of our strategy is the focus on target segments that know and understand these needs, and are willing to pay to have them filled.

How do you view technology evolution in the telecoms industry?

Cezart Technologies is a client focused Information Technology (IT) services provider committed to helping its clients succeed by adding value through the effective use of information technologies. We offer a comprehensive variety of IT services and solutions including IT Infrastructure Design, Implementation and Support, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning, Technology and Systems Integration, Application Design, Development and Maintenance, Comprehensive Technology Consulting and Small Office Home Office (SOHO) solutions.

We can design new or enhance existing computer and technology infrastructure. We can establish enterprise, departmental or branch or home office compute environments, complex development environments, portals, networks and security all aligned with business goals and objectives.

We see Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery plan that business can execute, as the most important investment any company can make to ensure that business can survive any disaster. We can help you develop a plan to prepare for a disaster and operate business in a contingency situation.

In the area of technology integration, we integrate hardware, network and software products and technologies from different vendors to create a single solution that meets the needs and business goals. We have specialised expertise in implementing and integrating a broad range of hardware, network and software technologies.

These are some of the technologies that are evolving and we tap into them to provide quality service for our customers.

In the area of IT consulting services, we provide technology strategy, planning, and direction in the areas where the greatest needs exist. Our focus is to provide solutions that complement businesses, foster growth, and create opportunity. We provide analysis of business and applications to determine if information technology are meeting the customer business needs.

The aviation industry is skeptical about connectivity while passengers are airborne. How can Cezart Technologies assist airborne passengers in having internet access without disrupting navigational signals?

Our partner, Iridium, offers the best of communication devices around the aviation industry and it offers a whole lot of aviation and military solution that address satellite connectivity in excluded areas, because of its wide range of communications facilities. Our other partners like Inmarsat and Thuraya have their core expertise in maritime and land communications respectively, and they are very good in these areas. So what we do at Cezart Technologies is to look at the entire system and provide tailor-made solution that will address the issues.

What is the business relationship between Cezart Technologies, Thuraya, Inmarsat, and Iridium.

These companies are first tier companies in the telecoms space and Cezart Technologies work directly with them as partners. So Cezart Technologies has its own solutions, but partner these multinational companies for equipment supply.

How do you see big data development in Nigeria in relation to the kind of services you offer that has to do with data?

Nigeria is the largest market for data communication in Africa and I see the growth of data on the increase, because demand for data is equally on the increase. Yes, Nigeria is still regarded as an emerging market in technology development, but a lot of things are happening in the county that continues to attract local and international investors. Nigeria is veritable ground for data market and we have a huge market for data.

How can SMEs benefit from the kind of satellite service that you offer?

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are involved in different kinds of businesses and those of them they require satellite services for their operations, will definitely need our services, because our solution will help them to grow and develop faster than they ever thought.


Outsourcing is gaining global attention across all sectors. How effective is Cezart Technologies in the outsourcing space?


Outsourcing is making a lot of impact on businesses and we are part of it too. As a satellite service provider, we help organisations to handle the satellite communication aspect of their business, if such company is not a core satellite company. Outsourcing helps organisations to focus more on their area of strength, which is their core business, thereby raising efficiency and fast revenue generation.


How long has Cezart Technologies been in the business of satellite services and what are the possible breakthroughs?

We have been in the satellite business for the past 16 years and we have recorded several breakthroughs. We offer services for embassies, organisations and government agencies.

For the first time buyer of a satellite phone, the selection process isn’t akin to your last cell phone purchase. Now you’re leaving the terrestrial world and are headed to space. The various satellite phone operators provide different areas of coverage around the globe and use different technologies, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) versus Geo-Stationary Orbit (GEO), which need to be factored into your decision making process.

Important factors for choosing the best phone for your needs are:

 Where will you need to use the phone geographically?
 What is the terrain that you will need to operate in – mountains, plains, deep in a tree canopy?
 Is it for emergency only use or will you use it on a regular basis?
 How many minutes of phone calling do you expect to do on a monthly basis?
 Will you require any type of data services for email, Internet access or GPS tracking?
 Will you want to operate the satellite phone while in a vehicle or inside of a building?

Comparing Satellite Phone Coverage

Each satellite operator has different coverage areas for the use of their technology. Iridium is the only provider that offers complete global coverage, from pole to pole. Inmarsat offers near global coverage but has limitations in the polar regions, such as northern Canada, Alaska, Greenland and parts of Russia. Thuraya provides regional coverage for most of Africa, Europe, the Middle East and parts of Asia.


Need To See the Sky

Even if your area of operation is within the coverage footprint of a satellite operator, the terrain in your area of operation will impact usage and should be factored into your decision making process. All satellite communications operates on the premise of clear line of sight to the satellite(s). Operating under a tree canopy or deep in a canyon can impede your look angles or line of sight. With the GEO operators (Inmarsat, Thuraya) you are operating in a situation where, with only a few exceptions, you will only have one satellite that you can view. So a mountain between you and your view to that satellite means that either you’ve got to move somewhere else to make your phone call or perhaps external antenna options mounted on poles may suffice. Iridium’s LEO constellation consists of 66 satellites that orbit the earth with 11 satellites in each of six orbital planes that intersect over the north and south poles. With Iridium a user can expect to be able to have line of sight to more than one satellite at a time which is helpful when operating in certain types of terrain.

Most all of the satellite phones have optional accessories for docking kits to enable the use of the phone in a vehicle or from inside of a building. There are also external antenna options available that can be mounted on a pole to improve look angles to satellites.


Surf The Web On My Satellite Phone

We are all used to Internet access on our cellular phones and so there is an expectation that you will be able to do the same things on a satellite phone. Well, not so fast, literally. Handheld satellite phones do have data services, but the average speed is 2.4-9.6 Kbps, meaning you can use them for text emails but not much else. If you have the need for file attachments or full Internet access, then the next step up from a handheld phone is an Inmarsat BGAN terminal that provides both a telephone service and a broadband Internet connection.


Reliability

The different technologies, GEO versus LEO, have an impact on reliability from the perspective of calls dropping (unwanted disconnection). You can look at reliability from a few angles; first, does the service reliably connect from your area of operation? Second, when it does connect, how long can it keep a call connected without dropping? Generally speaking, the GEO solutions tend to hold calls longer than the LEO solutions. However, as we’ve said with Iridium, if you are at the North Pole, your only choice is Iridium since they are the only operator that provides coverage of polar regions.

The Bottom Line

There is no one right answer to which phone is the best choice, since it will depend upon your unique requirements. Cezart Technologies Limited on 08033768201 to talk with a specialist that can help you determine the best fit for your needs.

Great writing, we should to take advantage of these concept.

PayPal famously split from eBay Inc. last year leaving many to wonder what their next move would be. Over the years the online-payments pioneer had picked a few unwise fights with heavyweights such as Visa and MasterCard. But there finally seems to be a change of strategy.

PayPal Joins the Fold

PayPal sealed deals with Visa and MasterCard that will soon allow customers to select their credit or debit cards as default payment methods rather than just their bank account or PayPal balance.

By calling a truce on their battles with the major card issuers in the industry, it seems the initiative is to promote PayPal as a universally accepted method of payment both online and offline.

It's refreshing to see banks, credit card companies, and PayPal putting their differences to one side. Traditional banking had made no secret about being resentful of PayPal's free bank transfers and heavily promoting its online payment system over conventional banking.

The recent deals seem to satisfy all parties as they realize they are all stronger together than apart. Ultimately, PayPal will enjoy lower fees and obtain a visibility in physical stores for quick and easy payments. MasterCard and Visa will get their hands on customer data they were previously locked out of. But more importantly, they should see a massive increase in online and mobile payments.

The strategic decision by PayPal enhances their reputation as a universally accepted payment method while card issuers receive much-needed help with their mobile payments initiatives.

Payment Practices Upheaved

PayPal is encouraging its customers to pay using their service as a mobile wallet. The blurry line between online checkouts and those we find in physical shopping malls is close to being torn down. In many ways, 2016 is proving to be a watershed moment regarding payments as users begin to embrace smartphone and contactless payment cards.

Numerous reports suggest the recent deals could subject PayPal to losses in the short term. But it's clear the online payments giant is playing the long game here. With 157 million active account holders worldwide and widely known as one most common online payment methods, getting Visa and MasterCard on board to pursue the high street is a very shrewd move.

Cultural Change Vis-à-vis Digital Technology

All consumers are essentially carrying around a super computer in their pockets. The ability to book a restaurant table, cab or accommodation on the other side of the world with a few taps of a smartphone screen has changed everything.

The bottom line is that all consumers now have a simple set of 21st-century demands. The choice to pay when, where and how we want in a seamless, simple and secure method. The easier companies make exchanges, the faster they will happen.

The biggest obstacle to widespread mobile payments is industry fragmentation. Platforms such as Apple Pay, Android Pay, and Samsung Pay are all heavily reliant on devices and software. This is not the way it should be. If you replace your smartphone, it should not affect how you pay for items online or offline.

Bluntly put, people want a universal platform that will make it easy to share and spend money. Maybe other businesses will begin to follow the positive example set by Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal.

Digital Transformation Shows No Signs of Abating

The simplification and personalization of everything shouldn’t be labeled disruptive. Technology is being interwoven seamlessly and invisibly into our daily lives. If anything, it’s the opposite of disruption. It’s imperceptible.

Businesses that team up in this way and merge their forces have a better chance of underpinning consumer’s lives from the ground up. This unity is a point in case.

May her gently soul rest in peace.

Respectable personality, impeccable service and delivery. Bought from him and I can tell you he is genuine and the batteries are reliable.

We will come.

1. WHY:
Why do men's clothes have buttons on the right while women's clothes have buttons on the left?
BECAUSE:
When buttons were invented, they were very expensive and worn primarily by the rich. Since most people are right-handed, it is easier to push buttons on the right through holes on the left.  Because wealthy women were dressed by maids, dressmakers put the buttons on the maid's right!   And that's where women's buttons have remained since.

2. WHY:
Why do ships and aircraft use 'mayday' as their call for help?
BECAUSE:
This comes from the French word m'aidez - meaning 'help me' - and is pronounced, approximately, 'mayday.'

3. WHY
Why are zero scores in tennis called 'love'?
BECAUSE:
In France , where tennis became popular, the round zero on the scoreboard looked like an egg and was called 'l'oeuf,' which is French for 'the egg.'   When tennis was introduced in the US , Americans (naturally), mispronounced it 'love.'

4. WHY:
Why do X's at the end of a letter signify kisses?
BECAUSE:
In the Middle Ages, when many people were unable to read or write, documents were often signed using an X. Kissing the X represented an oath to fulfill obligations specified in the document. The X and the kiss eventually became synonymous.

5. WHY:
Why is shifting responsibility to someone else called 'passing the buck'?
BECAUSE:
In card games, it was once customary to pass an item, called a buck, from player to player to indicate whose turn it was to deal.  If a player did not wish to assume the responsibility of dealing, he would  'pass the buck' to the next player.

6. WHY:
Why do people clink their glasses before drinking a toast?
BECAUSE:
In earlier times it used to be common for someone to try to kill an enemy by offering him a poisoned drink.  To prove to a guest that a drink was safe, it became customary for a guest to pour a small amount of his drink into the glass of the host.  Both men would drink it simultaneously. When a guest trusted his host, he would only touch or clink the host's glass with his own.

7. WHY:
Why are people in the public eye said to be 'in the limelight'?
BECAUSE:
Invented in 1825, limelight was used in lighthouses and theatres by burning a cylinder of lime which produced a brilliant light. In the theatre, a performer 'in the limelight' was the centre of attention.

8. WHY:
Why is someone who is feeling great 'on cloud nine'?
BECAUSE:
Types of clouds are numbered according to the altitudes they attain, with nine being the highest cloud. If someone is said to be on cloud nine, that person is floating well above worldly cares.

9. WHY:
In golf, where did the term 'Caddie' come from?
BECAUSE:
When Mary, Queen of Scots went to France as a young girl, Louis, King of France, learned that she loved the Scots game 'golf.' He had the first course outside of Scotland built for her enjoyment.  To make sure she was properly chaperoned (and guarded) while she played, Louis hired cadets from a military school to accompany her.  Mary liked this a lot and when she returned to Scotland (not a very good idea in the long run), she took the practice with her.  In French, the word cadet is pronounced ‘ca-day' and the Scots changed it into caddie.

10. WHY:
Why are many coin collection jar banks shaped like pigs?
BECAUSE:
Long ago, dishes and cookware in Europe were made of dense orange clay called 'pygg'. When people saved coins in jars made of this clay, the jars became known as 'pygg banks.'  When an English potter misunderstood the word, he made a container that resembled a pig.  And it caught on.

And now you know the origins of some of our strange customs! .....
