VOIP using Java Application - Voip Menggunakan Aplikasi berbasis Java

VOIP using Java Application : Skype recently announced the availability of a beta version of their latest application - just plain old Java (J2ME). That announcement made us cheer - at least for a moment that is - then we went on and read the fine print.The new Skype client ran just fine - no glitches or lags whatsoever. It logged in to our test Skype account pretty fast - both on a 2G network and on a 3G one. Making VoIP calls over the underpowered feature phone hardware may seem a mystery at first. But when you go on and read the fine print on Skype's website it turns out it that calls are not made over the data connection established by the Java client as it's usual for VoIP calls. Instead the client prompts you to dial a local transfer number (gateway) based on your number you have entered (now you see why there is a list of supported countries)

You can download Skype from the official website

Broadcom vs Qualcomm; LTE vs Wimax vs UMB

taken from other site, original

The legal battles between Broadcom and Qualcomm look like rumbling on through 2008,
while Qualcomm struggles to find takers for its UMB 4G technology.

The latest twist in the Qualcomm vs Broadcom legal saga, is that a federal judge in California ruled this week that Qualcomm can keep selling chips whose designs infringe Broadcom patents in return for royalties until Janauary 2009 but, after that date, Qualcomm is permanently barred from infringing those Broadcom patents.

In another decision, announced after Christmas, Qualcomm got an injuction preventing Broadom from using improperly obtained trade Qualcomm trade secrets, including source code, and also preventing Broadcom from making any further efforts to obtain more Qualcomm trade secrets.

And in a a third legal decision, announced before Christmas, US trade regulator, the ITC, announced that it will look into whether Qualcomm is violating the ITC’s order not to import chips which infringe Broadcom patents, after Qualcomm said it had done a ‘workaround’ to get round Broadcom’s IP.

This ‘workaround’ claim is disputed by Broadcom which says the workaround doesn’t work round its patents, and Qualcomm’s chips still infringe them.

It seems that Broadcom and Qualcomm have got their teeth into eachother in a legal war which looks like being as bitter and protracted as the Intel vs AMD legal battles of the 1990s.

“Our competitor in San Diego makes a percentage royalty on a handset”, says Broadcom CEO Scott McGregor, “it’s the same percentage if you make the handset out of plastic or out of platinum. There must be a million patents behind a cellphone. What happens if anyone who owns one of these thinks he can shake down the industry by charging 3 per cent royalty on a handset?”

It’s thought that Qualcomm charges between three and five per cent royalty on the cost of a handset which uses its CDMA technology.

This is despite the fact that Qualcomm undertook to license its technology on ‘fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms’.

According to McGregor, Qualcomm offers its customers a lower royalty rate on condition they buy Qualcomm’s chips. McGregor characterises that as: “Unfair trading practices to keep people out of the market.” Clearly the practice fails the ‘non-discriminatory’ criterion.

Meanwhile, the latest development in the LTE vs Wimax vs LTE candidiacies to get adopted as a 4G standard comes in a report from ABI Research which says that Qualcomm has failed to get is candidate for 4G, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), adopted by any operator even on a trial basis.

UMB technology is expected to be available in 2009 and is competing to be a 4G wireless technology against LTE (adopted by Vodafone and Verizon) and against Wimax (which has over 50 commercial deployments).

UMB CDMA Future

The CDMA Development Group (CDG) has selected "Ultra Mobile Broadband" as the brand name to describe the advanced technologies and services that will be supported by the CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Revision C (Rev. C) standard. The new standard is expected to be published early in the second quarter of 2007 and become commercially available on a global basis in early 2009.

With the ability to support peak download speeds as high as 280 Mbps in a mobile environment, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB) will represent a major breakthrough in the delivery of next generation mobile broadband services. The technology will deliver packets of data at speeds that are orders of magnitude higher than what is currently available, and will do so within the entire cell edge coverage area.

UMB is an evolutionary upgrade within the family of CDMA2000 standards that can be deployed in existing or new spectrum allocations using scalable bandwidths up to 20 MHz. UMB enhances the performance and capabilities of CDMA2000 by combining aspects of a series of air interface techniques, including CDMA, TDM, OFDM, and OFDMA.

UMB also incorporates Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) and Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA) advanced antenna techniques to provide greater capacity, coverage, and quality in deployments with multiple antennas.

The sophisticated UMB control mechanisms use the above techniques to optimize the transmission of variable length packets for each application based upon the end-to-end system capabilities and the quality of service (QoS) requirements of each application and user.

To support ubiquitous and universal access, UMB supports inter-technology hand-offs and seamless operation with existing CDMA2000 1X and 1xEV-DO systems.
