Developing Technologies 3G cell phones -- packet and circuit switching
EV-DO example (more on phones later) Wi-Fi
802.11 and 802.11x refers to a family of specifications developed by the IEEE for wireless LAN technology.
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, pronounced I-triple-E
WiMax Also known as IEEE 802.16--intended for wireless "metropolitan
area networks". Provides broadband wireless access (BWA) up to 30 miles (50 km) for fixed stations, and 3 - 10 miles (5 - 15 km) for mobile stations.
WiFi/802.11 wireless local area network standard is limited in most cases to only 100 - 300 feet (30 - 100m).
![Page 14: More on digital media...](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813a12550346895da1eaa3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why 802?
The 802 group is the section of the IEEE involved in network operations and technologies, including mid-sized networks and local networks. Group 15 deals specifically with wireless networking technologies, and includes the now ubiquitous 802.15.1 working group, which is also known as Bluetooth.

Developing Technologies Bluetooth
Name comes from Harald Bluetooth, king of Denmark in the late 900s
There are lots of different ways that electronic devices can connect to one another--Component cables, Electrical wires, Ethernet cables, WiFi, Infrared signals…
Bluetooth is essentially a networking standard that works at two levels: It provides agreement at the physical level -- Bluetooth is a radio-
frequency standard; AND, it provides agreement at the protocol level, where products
have to agree on when bits are sent, how many will be sent at a time, and how the parties in a conversation can be sure that the message received is the same as the message sent. (cell phone, GPS, PDA--Starfield example)
![Page 16: More on digital media...](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813a12550346895da1eaa3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Developing Technologies Zigbee (actually ZigBee) The set of specs built around the IEEE 802.15.4 wireless
protocol. Name "ZigBee" derived from the erratic zigging patterns many
bees make between flowers when collecting pollen. The standard is regulated by a group known as the ZigBee Alliance, with over 150 members worldwide.
Bluetooth focuses on connectivity between large packet user devices--laptops, phones, major peripherals….ZigBee is designed to provide highly efficient connectivity between small packet devices.

Developing Technologies GSM (see 1G, 2G, 3G section)
GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) Uses a variation of TDMA; it’s the most widely used of the three digital wireless telephony technologies (TDMA, GSM, and CDMA). Digitizes and compresses data & sends it with two other streams of data, each in its own time slot.
CDMA (Code-Division Multiple Access) refers to any of several protocols used in so-called second-generation (2G) and third-generation (3G) wireless communications. CDMA is a form of multiplexing, allowing numerous signals to occupy a single transmission channel, optimizing the use of available bandwidth.
TDMA (time division multiple access) is a technology used in digital cellular telephone communication that divides each cellular channel into three time slots in order to increase the amount of data that can be carried.

Cell phone Generations
‘two-way radio’ style, then cells ‘cellular’ process developed by (‘old’) AT&T IG -- analog -- 1983 -- AMPS -- ‘advanced mobile
phone service 2G -- digital introduction -- early 1990s
CDMA, TDMA initially in the U.S. (CDMA: Sprint, Verizon) GSM type adopted first in Europe (AT&T / T-Mobile)
3G -- higher data transmission speeds -- switch to packet switching (AT&T article) -- 1-3 mbps
4G -- up to about 10 mbps -- download speed

Cell phone as a hybrid medium
Delivery of video to cellular phones is becoming more widespread… voice / data … and
Verizon’s V-Cast service; Sprint’s MobiTV service. Both use the cellular network to deliver the content. New service and technology, MediaFlo, developed
by Qualcomm, uses part of the television broadcasting spectrum (channel 55) to send multi-media content to mobile phones. --see FloTV
Allows wireless carriers to offer video content without taking up much needed bandwidth in their cellular network.

Broadband today (3)
Sites like Metacafe.com, blip.tv, Veoh.com Hulu.com and others are driving a whole new category of video that could eventually be a more popular format than 30 or 60 minute programs.
These days consumers themselves are driving this "broadband or TV" debate into irrelevance. They're busy accessing programming on demand - whether "broadband" or "TV"
This is through a host of devices and services whose popularity is only going to skyrocket in the future. These include TiVo, Xbox, Netflix (Wii), etc.

Broadband Today (4)
With the proliferation of available broadband video comes a massive user navigation challenge. Modern Feed launched (4/8/08) to address this. Now Clicker.
Part search engine, part aggregator, with a specific focus on indexing professionally-produced programming, not user-generated video. It's also focused on actual programs, not promotional clips.
![Page 29: More on digital media...](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813a12550346895da1eaa3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Broadband Today (5) J.D. Heilprin, Modern Feed's founder/CEO:
the company is targeting mainstream users providing the easiest way to find available, high-quality video.
It employs a team of "Feeders" charged with curating the best videos to include on the site. The result is approximately 550 "networks" and 25,000 pieces of content now indexed
”Networks" is a loose term ranging from traditional broadcasters to indies new entrants like Boston Symphony or Architectural Digest.
