International Conference on Next Generation Networks 2010
Harnessing architecture for future service-centric networks
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Wednesday, September 29, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- There is little doubt that the internet is poised to emerge very differently in the future compared to the existing scenario. The evolution of the internet is important in the business context because the internet is not only a future network, but a highly dynamic communications platform, linking humans with computers, machines and data to achieve smarter services.
This was the key focus of the two-day 'International Conference on Next Generation Networks' -2010, held between September 24-25 in Mumbai, organised by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the IET Mumbai Local Network.
Distinguished speakers and well known industry experts from leading operators included;
. Professor Marwan Al-Akaidi, Director of International Relations-Faculty of Technology-De Monfort University
. Vimal Wakhlu, Director Technical of Tamil Telecommunications Limited
. R. K. Bahuguna, Director (Network Planning & Marketing) of RailTel's Network
. Prakash Bajpai, Chairman and founder of Tikona Digital Networks
. Dr. Kumar Sivarajan, CTO and co-founder of Tejas Networks
. Mohan Tambe of Innomedia Technologies
They shared their perspectives along with top-notch Internet service providers, telecom engineers, mobile operators and broadband wireless operators.
The conference also discussed the global migration towards Next Generation Networks (NGN), which is expected to usher in major changes in network architectures and services. The conference also set the stage for an incisive deliberation on the key issues of networking technologies, with the focus on development of the internet and the role of communication networks in the future. These included broadband, wireless, IP telephony, network convergence, new broadband technologies, storage networking, new switching/routing techniques, network security and many more.
According to Prakash Bajpai, Chairman and founder of Tikona Digital Networks, India's mobile penetration is fast catching up with China's. India's mobile penetration is approximately 50% of the population. Similarly, China ranks second to India's fixed line penetration, which is estimated approximately 40% of the population.
He also said 4G WiFi is expected to play a major role in India. Heavy investment is required in both 3G and 4G networks. Bajpai also feels that while the traditional mobile operators are facing the heat of network congestion, 4G technology will be the only way out. In the context of broadband connectivity, Bajpai strongly feels that WiMAX will be the next twist in the wireless landscape.
Kartik Parikh of Fastech Telecommunications spoke on the 'service quality measurements for mobile broadband'. Parikh said mobile broadband applications are rising in popularity very fast. Hence, mobile broadband usage must be carefully monitored, analyzed and trended. According to Parikh, the data growth month-over-month is estimated around 16-18%. To keep on top of wireless data growth with increasing data use, there is a need for active testing, including random drive test and subscriber emulation.
Haridev Khosla, Country Head, Wireline Technology of Tata Teleservices Limited said that the entry of private operators (currently over 12 operators) has led to fierce competition with each operator offering multiple services - fixed, mobile, internet, broadband, IPLC and VAS. This has almost reduced the long distance tariff to 35%, increased subscriber 20 fold from 27 million to 621 million (till March 2010). The current teledensity has also increased 23 times from 2.3 million to 52.74 million. Similarly, the rural teledensity also increased 49 times from 0.5 million to 24.29 million and urban teledensity increased 17 times from 6.9 million to 119.73 million.
An estimated 1.23 million class 4 NGN ports have been installed and further 13.7 million Class 4 NGN ports are in the pipeline. By 2012, the NGN capacity deployed in the country is expected to reach 18.9 million class 4 lines and 17.6 million class 5 lines, informed Khosla.
The key challenges for NGN are regulatory reform, which is moving at slow pace, traditional carrier - huge investment in conventional equipment, writing off of un-depreciated asset, new carrier - all IP network and technology not yet proven, low broadband penetration and availability of spectrum for growth of wireless broadband connectivity.
The development and operation of innovative ideas within NGN will have a huge impact on the society. Furthermore, new applications with a dynamic deployment may support rapid development of new services even better than before. Does this lead to new revenues as well? Simplifying the process, Ashutosh Vasant, Group GM Marketing of RailTel Corporation of India Ltd said that NGN is a broad term to describe key architectural evolutions in telecommunication core and access networks that will be deployed over the next 5-10 years.
The key driving forces for NGN is integration of network resulting in huge network cost savings (up to 50 percent), bandwidth charges reduction by 90 percent, point-to-point E1s not required, ageing networks in need of new equipment, reduction in operational costs, reduced time to roll out new services, ease in offering new services (VoIP, IP-TV), fully mesh flat IP transport layer, centralized network management, end-to-end call tracing and trouble shooting, extensive report generation and migration to all IP IMS-based services in the future, said Vasant.

BWI: Ocean Optics Spectrometer Helps Dentists Use Curing Lights More Effectively

Ocean Optics Spectrometer Helps Dentists Use Curing Lights More Effectively
New OEM system just what the doctor ordered for Canadian-based BlueLight Analytics Inc
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Wednesday, September 29, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- A spectroradiometrically calibrated USB4000 Spectrometer from Ocean Optics (www.oceanoptics.com) is helping dentists to use curing lights more effectively to harden the white resin composites used to fill cavities. The spectrometer is a key component of the Managing Accurate Resin Curing (MARC) system developed by Dr. Richard Price and researchers at Dalhousie University (Halifax, Nova Scotia) and commercialized through BlueLight analytics inc. (www.curingresin.com). Dr. Price has used Ocean Optics equipment in his laboratory since 2002 to measure the output from dental curing lights. The results of his research have been published in 15 papers internationally.
MARC measures the useful energy a simulated resin restoration receives from a dental curing light, a procedure that is affected by the location of the tooth, the type of resin used, the output of the curing light and the accuracy of the practitioner. Too much or too little exposure of the curing light to the restoration can lessen the lifetime of the filling and potentially damage the tooth. With the MARC system, which includes a laboratory-grade NIST-referenced USB4000 Spectrometer, dental researchers, educators, manufacturers and clinicians can more accurately measure the irradiance (in mW/cm2) and energy per unit area (in J/cm2) delivered by various curing lights in the hands of different dental professionals.
Slightly larger than a mobile phone, the miniature fibre optic USB4000 Spectrometer uses a 3648-element Toshiba linear CCD array detector and high speed electronics. For the MARC system, the spectrometer has been spectroradiometrically calibrated using Ocean Optics' NIST-traceable light source (300-1050 nm). MARC also uses the CC3-UV Cosine Corrector to collect radiation over 180ยบ field of view. This collection device helps mitigate the effects of optical interference associated with light collection sampling geometry - for example, the distance of the light to the restoration.
According to Colin Deacon, president and CEO of BlueLight, the potential impact of MARC is great, with 130 million restorations performed each year in the U.S. alone. Selection of the optimum spectrometer manufacturer for the project was critical. "We chose Ocean Optics because of its superior products and customer service," said Deacon. "We tried some other manufacturers, but there is no question why Ocean Optics is the most widely used and respected manufacturer of miniature spectrometers in the industry."
In developing MARC, BlueLight worked closely with Ocean Optics' OEM Engineering Team, which helps OEM customers bring products to market faster and better optimized to commercial requirements. The team offers complete system design capability for OEMs from supply of fibre assemblies and light sources to sensor coatings and sample holders. Ocean Optics is ISO 9001:2008 certified and can support both integrated system and sub-system manufacturing needs. Additional information about the team's capabilities is available at www.OceanOEM.com.

Castell Safety Interlocks Now Available Much More Quickly
New Manufacturing Approach has Dramatically Reduced Lead Times
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Wednesday, September 29, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Industrial safety specialist Castell has adopted an innovative manufacturing process to improve efficiency and benefit end-users, machine builders and distributors alike. The company is the first in the interlocking sector to implement end coding, which allows standard products to be coded at the final, rather than initial, stage of production.
End coding enables the company's interlocks to be fitted uncoded to machinery and remain there until they are commissioned. The coding scheme can be changed right up until the point that commissioning is accepted, when an authorised coding engineer codes the system. As a result, standard products can now be held as stock with distributors and machine builders, speeding up the supply chain.
The system relies on a coded tablet that is inserted into the lock. Once inserted, the tablet cannot be removed or recoded, which guarantees the integrity and safety of the system. Tablets can be provided within 24 hours of being defined and requested.
Since trapped key interlocks were first designed, the production of any system could not start until each code within the system had been defined. This created a number of potential issues. There was no flexibility during the commissioning phase for alterations once the locks had been fitted. Similarly, since each unit had been individually coded at the start of the manufacturing process, replacement stock required a full set of duplicates to be kept as spares. Machine builders could not stock items and orders could only be placed once end-users had confirmed codes. The product was not readily available as a stock item either at distribution outlets or from the manufacturer. Essentially, each component was a special and as such came with an extended lead time, no matter how frequently that product was used.
Keith Allingham, Castell's operations director, has welcomed the company's switch to end coding: "This major innovation will benefit all of our customers and give them the flexibility to ensure their system operates correctly pre-commissioning. This will both speed up commissioning times and deliver maximum system integrity - major advantages for all projects."
