Anatel will put on public consultation a standard for the use of 70 and 80 GHz bands for new applications in telecommunications. In practice, it is a little late movement, at least on a piece of spectrum that is already used in the deployment of wireless connections for high speed.
The use of the 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz bands was approved by the regulator of telecommunications in the United States, the FCC, still in 2003, from an order of the equipment manufacturers. Here, the FCC was also caused by the market.
"These studies are the private sector, where the Telefonica / Vivo and also by manufacturers, who proposed a regulation for use of these bands. The proposal is for any telecommunications services in point-to-point applications, on a primary basis without exclusivity, "summarized The draftsman, Marcelo Bechara.
As the advisor explains, this band is used for connecting fixed points, serving as wireless backhaul, "utility that can be considered the most important of the present moment," Bechara said, noting ongoing deployment of 4G services.
"Regard to the recently auctioned the 4G radio and the need of transmission rates at the output of the high ERBs are, it implies that the backhaul should be implemented preferably with fiber. But in some cases it is not possible or feasible, and these bands 70/80 GHz are presented as an alternative, "he explained.
In fact, neither surprising that the application has been forwarded by Telefonica. It's that the band is used exactly for these wireless high speed in big cities, where the cost for grounding optical fiber can derail some investments.
The very high frequency has some technical difficulties - like the use of microwave - but has been adopted in the U.S. since at least 2006. In essence, are devices that can be placed on top of buildings and in need of-sight to the transmission.
In general, the difficulties with implementation leads to higher bands to cover distances of about 3km, but the result appears to work, as there are different equipment suppliers. In the next 1.5 km distances, this system comes to achieve transfer rates of 1Gbps. The public consultation Anatel should be open next week and receive contributions for 45 days. The agency also plans to hold a public hearing on the proposal in Brasilia.

BT trials new network tech for ‘Internet of Things’
BT has begun trialling a new
technology from tech company Neul on machine-to-machine (M2M)
communications using ‘white space’ technology.
These tests involve sending traffic
information to and from moving vehicles via gaps – or ‘white spaces’ –
in the frequencies bands used for digital TV broadcasting.
White space networking could enable up to 50 billion devices to be connected wirelessly to the internet by 2020, say BT.
“The internet of things market has huge
potential, but existing short-range and cellular networking technologies
are unable to meet the requirements of many applications we see,” Mark
Harrop, director of mobile strategy at BT, said. “A networking
technology that can provide deep indoor coverage, last for many years
from a single battery, is simple to use, and comes at the right price
point is essential for realizing the true potential of the internet of
things.”
Bins that ask to be emptied
BT has been conducting these trials
since late last year, but now they are using the new NeulNET system. The
NeulNET system provides two-way, wide area M2M networking that Neul
claims “far outreaches today’s GPRS, 3G, CDMA and LTE WAN solutions”.
The NeulNET system uses an
antenna-equipped base station that can provide wireless coverage in a
radius of up to five kilometers, along with terminal modules that can
run for up to 15 years on two AA batteries and can communicate from deep
within buildings or underground.
The system, delivered by Neul as a
cloud-based managed communication service, can operate in either
licensed or unlicensed spectrum, and across a wide range of frequency
bands.
Neul adds that it expects to announce
further deployments of its NeulNET technology throughout 2014. It says
the system could enable smart-city applications ranging from
waste-disposal bins that “ask to be emptied” to green-belt areas and
farms that are monitored and watered efficiently.

M2M: the Multinational is going shopping in Brazil
In November, according to Anatel, the assets of M2M terminals were 8,175,309 million, a significant increase over 2013. And the market is mobilized. In Brazil, mergers and acquisitions are a reality. The Wyless, multinational company, bought 65% stake in Brazilian TM Year, M2M pioneer in the country, with the investment of approximately $ 7 million, reversed in infrastructure, human resources and technology.
There are 13 years in this market, the TM Data operates a managed network that connects the four mobile operators in Brazil, Claro, OI, TIM and Vivo customers. Operates through various business sectors such as automotive, infrastructure, security, medical and financial services. According to the CEO of TM Data, Sérgio Souza, companies are accustomed with the service provided directly by operators. With that suffer the lack of an offer that suits the logistical demands, technical customizations, differentiated service, special business plans, advanced management, incentive and innovation.
Renamed Wyless TM Date Brazil, the company has bold plans and wants of the country, expand its presence in Latin America. "Alternative sales channels spread all over the country will be available, plus new options for financing equipment to meet the huge existing demand," says the CEO of TM Data.
The investment will be the first major deployment of Porthos system, the most advanced management platform and awarded worldwide, able to ensure the continuity and management of M2M solutions. The investments planned for 2014 are around $ 1.5 million in retention and training of new talents and still projects the opening of new offices in Latin America and Rio de Janeiro. "Brazil is one of the largest growth opportunities in M2M in relation to the world market, and one of the greatest challenges of the BRIC group." Concludes Dan McDuffie, CEO of Wyless.

Data roaming requires more efficient telcos
The global data roaming revenues will generate $ 48 billion in 2018, says a study by Juniper Research. That means 47% of total revenues roaming, compared with the proportion of 36% in 2013.
For consultancy, surge in data roaming will come with 4G massification - roaming agreements in 4G LTE are still in early stages, but already being celebrated globally. Also an efficient policy by telcos will need.
"Operators need to set plans and Fares able to encourage greater use by their subscribers, but without those 'deals' may cause loss of revenue.'s Telcos will have to design more efficient services," says the report's author, analyst Nitin Bhas.
The advisory indicates that regulatory policies such as the proposal from the European Commission's Digital Agenda, may impact on revenue in the region, with a reduction in revenue for data roaming up to 20% by 2016.

Data usage grows 40% every generation smartphones
A survey of British Actix - specializing in software for mobile networks - indicates that data consumption is significantly higher with each new generation of smartphones. In numbers, the results indicate that the traffic volume grows 40%.
"The networks have been scrambling to meet the growing demand for data. First with the passage of feature phones to smartphones, now with the upgrade to high capacity equipment. Every generation traffic grows 40% per device, "says the director of global marketing at Actix, Neil Coleman.
The study, which sought to assess the pressures on radio access networks - ie between base stations and handsets - analyzed more than 100,000 equipment used mobile networks in Europe and the United States over the past year.
According to the study, the smartphones of 2013 consumed seven times more data than those launched in 2009 - and 40% more than the year 2012. And yet, that tablet users consume more than twice the data that smartphones.
Equipment with access to hotspots consume nine times more data than in cellular networks. "95% of data is being consumed by smartphones, but with the growth in sales of cheaper tablets operators will be faced with equipment 'hungry' for data," says Coleman.
Other results indicate that handsets Apple consume almost twice as much data per session than the average Android phones. The iPhones were in the top three positions among the smartphones that consume data (4, 4 and 5). Among the 10 models that use more data, four are from Samsung.

Broadband: 4G is equivalent to growth of 3G
The connections of fixed and mobile broadband exceed 43.7 million in 2017, excluding M2M and navigation smartphone and cell reveals the Barômetro Banda Larga 2.0, released by Cisco on Tuesday, 29/10. Growth of 54.2% between 2013 and 2017 must be caused by increasing access to mobile data, driven by major sporting events in the country.
Besides the projection for the next four years, the study conducted by IDC Latin America, brings a detailed analysis of the Internet between January and June 2013, when Brazil reached 27.1 million connections, where the fixed grew 4 5% while moves up 8.7% in the period, with 36.5 mobile connections per 100 fixed. By the end of 2013, the country should reach 28.3 million connections.
The survey shows that the most cost-effective fixed broadband has contributed to the increasing speed of Internet connections. The call 2.0 Fixed broadband with speeds of 2 Mbps or more, increased by 7% in the first six months of the year, up nearly six times higher than the 1.0 bandwidth (128 Kbps to 2 Mbps). 2.0 The Broadband connections totaled 11.75 million in June 2013, with 43.2% of this total are in the range of 10 Mbps or more.
Mobile access, which considers connections to PC via modem and tablet, reached 7.26 million in June 2013. This edition of the Barometer also started to measure the 4G, launched in April 2013. In just three months, this technology has reached the milestone of 174,000 subscribers, a value close to the average quarterly growth of 3G base. During the semester, the 3G subscriptions grew by 6.1%.

- The average speed increased to 209 Kbps in the last six months and 556 Kbps in the last year . The main reason for this increase was the introduction of high speeds at most competitive prices with good market acceptance.
- Operators are focusing offers the intermediate velocities ( 2Mbps ) and upper ( 5Mbps + ) , R $ 64 average price charged for access during raised . With this, the user experience has improved and digital media , content and B2C should be increasingly exploited .
- The corporate user has also stimulated the increase of broadband in the country , with the demand for cloud-based applications , as well as other factors such as data centers , big data and mobility.
- Of the total 43.7 million connections ( fixed and mobile ) in 2017 , the mobile account for 36 % and broadband connections will reach 2.0 % of the 72 fixed .
- The installed base of devices will grow by 26 million between 2013 and 2017 . An increase of over 30 % compared to the end of 2013 . This will drive the adoption of broadband (all speeds), which will grow by about 15 million . The growth in the number of devices per connection will boost the supply of higher speeds .
4G: According to Anatel makes TVs for allocation band 700 Mhz
Earned the scolding of TV broadcasters. When deciding on the regulation with the allocation of the 700 MHz band, this Thursday, 31/10, the Anatel found a way out: approved standard, but it only comes into effect after the compliance demands of broadcasters, ie solutions to interference and channel redesign.
"The bid band can only occur to the extent that issues are resolved coexistence," said the draftsman, Rodrigo Zerbone explaining that "this resolution only come into effect as well as the Regulation on the date of publication of the notice."
As reminded Marcelo Bechara, "this auction is not just booster of wireless broadband in the fourth generation in a band that should be exploited for this. But there is another question, which is the transition of the Brazilian digital TV. And the question is how to encourage compatible with a segment also scanning service as important as the other. "
Overcome the 'diplomatic crisis' with television, the use of the 700 MHz band for mobile broadband will bring news. First, it confirms the idea of sharing the model RAN Sharing for smaller cities - with a surprise: the agency indicates that not only will allow sharing of equipment, but also the spectrum.
The rule does not define on how small are the cities that could have RAN Sharing at 700 MHz, but as already indicated the counselor Jarbas Valente, the idea is that the locations of up to 30 thousand inhabitants that possibility is feasible, even with a single carrier administering the 40 +40 MHz
Otherwise, in the larger cities than the cut line - yet to be clearly defined in the same announcement, the cap was fixed at 10 to 10 MHz carriers - which in practice means that there are conditions of each of the four major telcos take your loaf mobile spectrum.
Another novelty is that although the preferred setting for systems FDD, TDD systems may be allowed, provided of course that such solutions do not cause harmful interference. FDD and TDD duplexing and forms are generally associated to fixed and mobile solutions, respectively.
It was also guaranteed in the regulation a slice of the 700 MHz band for security activities - Police and Armed Forces. This share will be at least 5 +5 MHz, although foreseen the possibility of the edict to bring a loaf bigger than that.
Finally, it is expressly mentioned in the regulation that the telecom operators should "bear the costs of redistribution and the solutions to the problems of harmful interference in radio systems."

700 MHz: Brazilian government now speaks at auction in June 2014
Even the close of the first half of 2014, the Communications Minister Paulo Bernardo, expects to make the concession auction frequency of 700 megahertz (MHz). "We're talking in April. However can always have a delay because of public consultation, "the minister said on Monday, 30/09, during an event at the Federation of Industries of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Firjan).
Bernardo admitted that the government intends to bring forward the goals of broadband 3G and 4G. "Our idea is in [the announcement of] 700 Mhz auction, put over a number of goals, including the anticipation of 3G." This should occur within interior municipalities that do not have this service. In addition, the ministry wants to take to connect all cities with fiber optic lines. The goal of universal Internet 3G is 2017. "But we can anticipate one year, a year and a half," said Minister of Communications. For 4G, the target remains 2019. Nessa, said that "we will not change."
The frequency 700 MHz is being handcrafted with more care because today it is used by television industry high penetration and political strength, present in 97% of households, the minister said. "Again, the focus will be facing the deployment of infrastructure." With the requirement of early 3G, the service will be conducted throughout Brazil in 2014 or 2015. Calculations by the minister, about 1500 cities do not have fiber optic network and 200, located in the middle of the Amazon rainforest and other hard to reach places, the service should not ever get. Must be covered by satellite.

Roaming is a necessary theme for the 2014 World Cup, when it predicts the presence of thousands of international tourists.

4G networks: differences and benefits
The Communications Minister Paulo Bernardo, used the Campus Party in SaoPaulo, to make a series of promises / suggestions involving the Internet and mobile connections. He said that the Government intends to create an internet 0800, ie, you enter the site, but who pays is the company responsible for it.
In the same discourse, said that in 2013 the cities of the Confederations Cup will have Internet 4G (LTE). The following year, the World Cup, the benefit would beextended to more than 500 000 inhabitants. The auction to offer 4G will be held inMay, with the notice being published on April 16, according to Bernardo.
But deep down, you know what the real benefits of the so called 4G networks? LTE(Long Term Evolution) mobile technology is a fourth generation (hence 4G) that prioritizes the transmission of data rather than voice. Result: the Internet faster and more stable. Moreover, once LTE was created, it was not possible to travel on voice.The perfect marriage between the Internet and rapid speech came only recently, with the VoLTE (read more here).
How much better is traffic data? In theory an LTE network reaches 300 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload. In practice, these numbers are at 100 Mbps(download) and 50 Mbps (upload). But it is not to be disappointed, because now your smartphone can, in theory, and at best, 7.2 Mbps downstream and 348 Kbpsupstream. That is, the LTE is at least 10 times more efficient.
Ah, yes, they are also more stable. 4G networks allow 200 simultaneous accesses(more than double that offered today) and operate safely, even when moving at speeds up to 350 km / h.
For all that, counting the days for the 4G longer promise a reality and turn right.
