World Phone to Offer Cable Broadband at Affordable Costs

World Phone Internet Services has recently announced its foray into the cable broadband internet services for Delhi and National Capital Region (NCR). The service provider has entered into an agreement with television cable operators across the region to provide the internet services.


“With the launch of our new service with an affordable tag, we would be tapping the population in Delhi & NCR. We hope that with this price tag and the quality of service we will be able to garner at least 5000 subscriber in the first three months,” said Aditya Ahluwalia, Chairman, World Phone Internet Services. “Lower monthly commitment would be a strong and bold step by World Phone for enhancing broadband penetration in masses,” he further added.


The internet service with a speed of 256 kbps and a 200 MB data download limit will be available for subscription to customers at a rate of Rs 95 per month. The pre-paid service will require customers to buy re-charge vouchers from the cable operator to be able to connect to the internet. Customers can also opt for unlimited, hourly or data limit based plans according to their requirements.


Besides Delhi, the company also plans to launch the service in Mumbai, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and Kolkata in the coming months.

NASA NanoSatellites Catch Ride on Rocket

NASA NanoSatellites Catch Ride on Rocket, Demonstrate Technology

NASA will fly two nanosatellites as secondary payloads aboard the SpaceX Falcon 1 rocket planned for launch in August or September.

Spaceflight engineers and project managers at NASA's Ames Research Center, and NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Ala., teamed together to arrange a fast-paced, low-cost mission. The mission provides an opportunity to demonstrate NASA-developed spaceflight technologies and the Ames-developed modular approach to constructing the PharmaSat Risk Evaluation (or PRESat) and NanoSail-D satellites. This same approach was used successfully on a previous mission, GeneSat, and will be used for the upcoming PharmaSat mission, scheduled to launch later this year.

"This mission provides NASA with a unique opportunity to evaluate how our nanosatellite spacecraft and its payload perform, while demonstrating our ability to conduct fast turn-around, low-cost spaceflight projects," said John Hines, chief technologist at Ames' Small Spacecraft Division and PRESat-NanoSail-D technical director. "This collaborative mission has enabled NASA to demonstrate and support cutting-edge technologies."

After successfully entering a low Earth orbit, PRESat will create a stable, space science laboratory using innovative environment control and biological detection techniques. NanoSail-D will deploy an ultra-thin, highly reflective solar sail for the first time in history, and validate cutting-edge, propellant-less space propulsion technologies.

"We have an experimental payload loaded into an experimental satellite, onboard a privately developed vehicle," said Edward "Sandy" Montgomery, NanoSail-D payload manager at NASA's Marshall. "We're thrilled with this opportunity to combine our solar sail experience and technology with a new way of doing business."

The PRESat micro-laboratory is a controlled environment with sensors and optical systems that can detect the growth, density and health of yeast cells. PRESat will also monitor the levels of pressure, temperature, and acceleration. This data will be relayed in real-time to mission managers and engineers for further analysis.

Packed inside the NanoSail-D satellite is a 100 square foot sail, made of ultra-thin, light gossamer fabric, coated with a layer of aluminum to enhance its thrust-producing properties. The reflective sails are designed to intercept the constantly streaming solar energy and change the orbit of the spacecraft. If the deployment is successful, the mission team will be able to pick up slight changes in NanoSail’s orbit due to solar pressure and aerodynamic drag a few days into the mission.

Marshall Space Flight Center provided materials for the NanoSail-D spacecraft and the solar sail payload, including harvesting the sail material from an earlier Marshall solar sail propulsion mission tested at NASA’s Glenn Plum Brook Station in 2005. The team also includes academic and industry partners who provided economical commercial-off-the-shelf components that were quickly configured and integrated to create the satellite.

The Falcon 1 rocket is on the pad at the Marshall Islands launch site, where SpaceX is conducting final checkouts. SpaceX has announced that the rocket could launch at any time during two launch windows: July 31 to Aug. 6 and late August to early September. SpaceX will notify news media 36 hours in advance of a launch.

After both satellites are ejected from the Falcon 1 rocket into orbit, they will activate and begin transmitting radio signals to two ground control stations operated by students from Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, Calif. One station is located at the Universidad Centroamericana in San Salvador, El Salvador. The other is an innovative, mobile station, positioned near the launch site at Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Students will monitor the spacecraft, provide mission data to NASA engineers and coordinate with amateur radio operators around the world to tune in to the satellites’ broadcasts.

3G Mobile Phones - Distinct Types of 3G Technology

The term "3G" is mostly used in connection with mobile phone specifications. Are you interested to get this 3G advantage in your mobile? Before getting the feature you have to understand the benefits and types of 3G technology. 3G is an upcoming cellular technology. With the support of this feature you can get broadband services without wired connections. You can get the data transfer speed starts from 144 Kilo bits per second to 2.4 Mega bits per seconds. The third generation mobile technology is shortly known as "3G" which has been embedded with high end mobiles only.

The main two types of 3G Technology

• UMTS is a kind of 3G technologies and it uses Wideband Code Division Access. This is shortly known as WCDMA which represents a standard. UMTS is an acronym of Universal Mobile Telephone Service.

• The second type of 3G technology is CDMA 1x EV-DO. It is essential to bring out the speed of 3G network to CDMA.

It is not difficult to get these 2 kinds 3G technologies. Now a days these technologies are available in all cities by adequate expansion. You can get the transmission speed as same as the ADSL in entry level. It is sure you can get the expected speed with the support of 3G feature. You also can get 3G enabled mobile phones in different colours with sleek design. Some of the examples of widely used 3G enabled mobile phones are listed as below:

• Motorola Razr V3x

• Samsung Z510

• BlackBerry 7130e etc.

• Most of the laptop users have welcomed this technology to get high speed transmission of data within their palm. The basic requirement to enjoy this feature is a data plan and a carrier supplied PC card.
