Fibre Optic Cable will create overcapacity in East African bandwidth

Today in our manufacturing news we feature a press release from Africa and how the introduction of a new marine based Fibre Optic Cable will not only provide bandwidth capaciity but it may result in over capacity.  For full press details please read on: Fibre Optic Cable will create overcapacity in East African bandwidth

There is growing concern among western telecommunication experts that the planned marine-based fibre-optic cable link could come at a high price to the service provider. Despite the latest news carried in the Daily Nation’s sister paper, The East African this week - that the Government had turned down a proposal by the US company Seacom for a joint venture in the regional project - there remains four groups bidding to participate. (see report yesterday). East Africa is the only region in the world not yet connected to the global broadband network, and hence Internet connection in the region is notoriously poor. But the respected Financial Times newspaper, in a special report on the issue, said that in the medium to long term, the establishment of a fiber optic cable could bring problems for an eventual provider. “Some prospective investors worry that East Africa could swing from being starved of bandwidth to having a glut,” the FT report says. “Seacom alone is expected to add 640 gigabites of bandwidth, yet Kenya today uses a mere 1.2 gigabites. “Sceptics say the African projects risk repeating errors made during the Internet bubble (in the UK), when over capacity and intense price competition forced several groups with rival transatlantic cables into bankruptcy.” Seacom has said its cable will be operational by 2009 while the Kenyan government says that its shorter cable will be completed by the middle of next year. The East African report says that the U.S. company is ahead of all the others, having signed an engineering procurement contract. If they are the first providers of broadband to Kenya they are likely to have a distinct advantage, making it difficult for other companies to compete.

Gates no longer world´s richest man; Mexican upstart steals crown

A key press release in our communications news is in regards to who is the richest man in the world and for the first time since 1995 its not Bill Gates.  It has been reported that Eduardo García the Mexican Telecoms Tycoon is now worth a reported $68 Billion, $8 billion more than Bill.  For full press details please read on: Gates no longer world´s richest man; Mexican upstart steals crown

Microsoft chairman Bill Gates has lost his position as the world’s richest man for the first time since 1995. Gates, who is worth around US$60bn, has been overtaken by Mexican telecoms tycoon Carlos Slim. The Mexican saw his wealth rocket to an estimated $68bn after shares in his firm Telmex jumped 27 percent over the past 12 months.   Eduardo García, founder and editor-in-chief of online financial publication Sentido Común, made the claim after following stock market movements.   “When I put Slim ahead three months ago Forbes bumped him up to second place [in the world rankings] a few days later,” García told Reuters. “Let’s see if the same happens again.”   If García is correct Slim’s wealth is now equivalent to eight per cent of Mexico’s GDP. Over half the population of Mexico survives on less than US$5 a day.   Slim is the 67 year-old son of Lebanese immigrants who made his money buying and revamping struggling companies. But it was his move into telecoms that propelled him to the ranks of the super-rich.   Gates and Warren Buffett, the world’s third richest man, have both pledged to give away the vast bulk of their fortunes on their deaths, but Slim has no such plans.   “Gates has to study how he can [fight poverty] in the same way that Microsoft succeeded in business, because charity has not solved the problem,” Slim told USA Today.   “It is based on my conviction that poverty is not fought with donations, charity or even public spending, but with health, education and jobs. Wealth is like an orchard: you have to share the fruit, not the trees.”

Belden Cable News - Belden’s fibre optic cables offer rugged flexibility

Today we feature a new article from one of Multi Media Partners, Belden, who have launched its newly redesigned Brilliance Tactical fibre optic cables.  The cables have been redesigned in order for them to operate in the most harsh of environments.  Belden’s fibre optic cables offer rugged flexibility

Belden has launched its newly redesigned Brilliance Tactical fibre optic cables. The cables have been redesigned to provide for maximum performance in rigorous outdoor applications. Easily transportable in mobile trucks, the small, lightweight tactical fibre optic cables offer a rugged, yet flexible, construction that makes them ideal for use in a variety of mining and industrial applications.   Designed to military standards, Belden Tactical fibre optic cables are ruggedly constructed to ensure maximum performance and reliability over a broad range of outdoor temperatures and weather conditions. The single-mode, tight buffered cables feature an aramid yarn strength member and exceptionally tough, sunlight-resistant polyurethane outer jacket.   This makes them highly resistant to environmental conditions, as well as to abrasion, crushing and cut through. In addition, the cables have a smaller bend radius for improved flexibility and resiliency. For installers, Belden Tactical fibre optic cables’ smaller, lighter and more flexible design means field deployment and retrieval can be accomplished with far less effort and fewer challenges than with traditional tactical cables.   In addition to occupying less space and adding less weight in mobile communications vehicles, the new cables are re-usable - they can be deployed repeatedly, while still delivering the quality performance required by the broadcast industry.   Belden offers its Brilliance Tactical fibre optic cables in five standard product codes, with up to 12 fibres and a variety of special options to meet an array of application requirements. These options include: fibre count and type, jacket colour and material. The cables are fully compatible with all optical fibre connector options.

Alcatel-Lucent today announced it has completed the deployment of an enhanced third-generation (3G) network based on CDMA2000® 1X and 1xEV-DO technology covering the entire Caribbean island of Aruba.

The new network will enable SETAR N.V., the leading wireless telecommunications operator in Aruba, to expand its wireless service to offer local customers and tourists high-quality, mobile voice and high-speed broadband data services such as video streaming, access to corporate e-mail and intranets, and many other new applications at speeds of up to 2.4 Megabits per second, as well as CDMA roaming capabilities to tourists.

Under the terms of the agreement, Alcatel-Lucent provided SETAR N.V. with its CDMA Modular Cell 4.0 base stations, as well as comprehensive maintenance services, including network engineering and deployment.

“SETAR’s investment in CDMA will strengthen Aruba’s position in the tourism industry, allowing tourists to stay connected while visiting Aruba,” said Roland Croes, Managing Director, SETAR N.V. “This modern telecommunications infrastructure will make Aruba an even more attractive destination for cruise ships, hotels and timeshare guests, and we will be able to introduce new innovative services with the deployment of CDMA2000 1xEV-DO technology.”

According to Croes the response from Aruba citizens and tourists to the voice roaming service with large North American CDMA operators has been very positive.  

“The deployment of CDMA combined with our GSM offering puts our company in a unique position in the Caribbean, as we are one of the first companies offering both technologies in the region,” he noted.

“SETAR N.V.’s selection of Alcatel-Lucent’s equipment for its network is quite an honor given the innovative approach this service provider has in meeting the needs of its customers,” said Olivier Picard, President of Alcatel–Lucent’s Europe and South activities. “We look forward to continuing working with SETAR as they remain at the forefront of wireless developments in the country.”

Africa to receive US$164.5 million for internet connections from World Bank

This news story is about Africa the world’s largest untapped market, and least developed of the continents.  Apparantly when you look at it from space it is the only black continent as everywhere else is lit up, but until i can spare £40K to get a flight into space on Richard Bransons Rocket I will just have to take Buzz Aldrin’s word for that.  Refering back to the news article, the World Monetary Bank are going to invest $165 million to bring internet access to Kenya, Burundi and Madagascar, which will give the opportunity to business in the region to start competing on a global footing and allow students to improve their studies.  For the full article please read on: Africa to receive US$164.5 million for internet connections from World Bank

World Bank has approved financing worth $164.5 million for Kenya, Burundi and Madagascar for high-speed internet connections, the bank said on Tuesday. The region is the only place in the world not connected to the global broadband infrastructure, making telephone calls and Internet access very expensive, the bank said.   “Businesses are unable to compete in the global economy, university students suffer because they cannot access the Internet, and government agencies cannot communicate effectively with each other and their citizens because they are not connected,” the bank’s statement said. The bank cited one Kenyan call-centre entrepreneur who has to pay $17,000 per month for 25 agents to make calls from the country compared to costs of only $600-900 paid by other call centers elsewhere in the world.   Kenya and Madagascar got loans of $114.4 million and $30 million respectively, while the remaining $20.1 million was a grant to Burundi. The money is the first tranche of a $424 million Regional Communications Infrastructure Program (RCIP). The three countries are part of a wider regional initiative by over 20 nations to lay an undersea fiber-optic cable linking South Africa and Sudan.

Belden has manufacturing facilities in North America and Europe as well as distribution centers in the U.S., Canada, Singapore, Australia and The Netherlands. A majority of Belden’s manufacturing, engineering and support functions are registered to the International Organization for Standardization.  Their Press Release is in full below:  Belden New Generation CCTV/PTZ Cable Line is Extended

Belden has added more Banana Peel® Composite Cables-in addition to Siamese UTP, Round UTP and Fiber Plus Copper Composite Cables-to its CCTV/Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) Camera Cable line. Belden, a world leader in the development of signal transmission solutions for wired and wireless enterprise networks, as well as broadcast/entertainment, industrial, residential and security (building management) applications, now offers a wide range of innovative new cables for pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras used in closed circuit television (CCTV) surveillance systems. Most recently added are:   PTZ Banana-Peel composites with coax based video, and 14 AWG Power conductors, to drive heaters and motors at a greater distance, CCTV composites for Fiber Optic based video, plus copper power conductors to drive camera heaters and/or pan &tilt motors. These cables are round, overjacketed styles with either 18 AWG copper or 14 AWG copper.   These cables are ideal for security applications in hospitals, airports, amusement parks, retail establishments, universities, casinos, sports stadiums and correctional facilities - wherever there is a need for a protective CCTV surveillance installation to monitor people, activities and/or assets.   The complete New Generation Banana Peel PTZ cables now include plenum-and riser-rated composites with (1) RG-59/U coax cable for video, STP or UTP cables for control and 2-conductor cable for power applications. Since these cables are composites, they eliminate the need for pulling individual video, power and control cables - a real time/labor-savings for the installer. But these composite cables offer even more: they feature Belden’s revolutionary Banana Peel design. In the Banana Peel design, the individual, color-coded cables are affixed to a center spline, thus eliminating the need for an overall jacket. This jacketless design, with each individual cable instantly identifiable, speeds and simplifies installation. Installers simply peel off the required cable component and it’s ready for termination.   The new plenum- and riser-rated Category 5e Siamese constructions consist of 2- or 4-pair UTPs plus 2 conductors. The CMR-rated Fiber Plus Copper composites consist of (2) Tight Buffer Multimode Grade 2 fibers and (2) Copper Power conductors.   Belden also offers a wide range of New Generation cables for pan/tilt/zoom camera applications that meet all your installation needs - whether large or small in scope - in both plenum-rated and non-plenum versions. An exceptional line of single coaxes, coaxial/twisted pair composites and unshielded multi-conductor constructions is also available for fixed camera applications.   For more information about Belden New Generation PTZ Composite cables, contact Belden, P.O.
