The existence of beepers defended By José Manuel López |
In spite of registering a diminishing number of users, the radio paging industry has not come close to dying since it now has a new life through a diversification of services, affirmed Manuel Cisneros, president of ANCOR (the National Association of Paging Carriers in Mexico). He said that a service, now available in Mexico, using radio paging technology, prevents auto theft. ”We place a device in the automobile so that when a person loses his [car], he can talk to our call center and—automatically—using a signal that we radiate over the whole city, the stolen car can be detained, and its alarm system activated“, he explained. Because of the great insecurity that exists in Mexico, he added, this service is in great demand, and along with other services that the paging industry is starting to offer, this sector will once again perform. Other strong points of paging, he added, are the cheap services that that could measure consumption for the gas and light services—over a distance—at reasonable prices. The press release said that the cellular telephone companies have kept [paging] users from the cost benefits of continuing to use their pagers, but very soon there would be a return to this service. |

Defienden existencia de "beepers" Por José Manuel López |
A pesar de que ha registrado una disminucción de usuarios, la industria de la radiolocalización no se acerca a su muerte, ya que tiene nueva vida a través de la diversificación en los servicios, afirmó Manuel Cisneros, presidente de la Asociación Nacional de Concesionarios de Radiolocalización (Ancor). Existe, dijo, un servicio que ya está disponible en México, que a través de la tecnología de la radiolocalización, o paging, evita el robo de autos. "Colocamos un dispositivo en el automóvil para que cuando una persona es privada del suyo, hable a nuestras centrales y automáticamente, por medio de la señal que radiamos por toda la ciudad, el auto se detiene y pone en funcionamiento sus alarmas", explicó. Debido a la gran inseguridad que existe en México, añadió, este servicio tendrá una gran demanda, que junto con otros que empieza a prestar la industria del paging, podrán llevar a este sector a repuntar nuevamente. Otra de las fortalezas del paging, agregó, es lo barato de los servicios, ya que se podrán hacer mediciones del consumo de servicios como luz o gas a distancia a precios accesibles. La publicidad aplastante, dijo, que han realizado las empresas de telefonía celular impiden que los usuarios se percaten de los beneficios en costos al seguir utilizando sus radiolocalizadores, pero pronto habrá un retorno a este servicio. |

Brad,
I think I may have sent you an email a few months ago regarding some paging equipment I had at a tower site. I'm sorry I didn't get back to you with answers to your questions. I just returned from a 3 month work trip in Germany.
I still have the Glenayre Equipment in my hut and I would like to put this up for sale ASAP. From what I can tell I have the following in a rack mount:
1. Power Amp GL-T8500
p/n 9110.00242 = 931.4875 MHz
2. Gold Line VDT p/n 9110.00164
3. DSP Exciter w/ Wideband Option p/n 9110.00172
4. Gold Line Power Supply p/n 9110.00159
5. Back Up Batt p/n 9110.00144
6. GL-C2000 Transmitter/Controller
7. Sky Data Multi Channel RX
Please let me know if you would be interested in helping me resell these items.
Thanks,
Mike

| QUESTIONS FROM READERS |
Hi Mr. Bradley,
I have visited your page looking for some technical reference about [the] ReFLEX 25 protocol. Please guide me over your web page (excellent page, by the way), if there [is] some thing about frame calculation depending of the capcode.
For example:
If i have the capcode 0110002300, in what frame should [it] be placed in the 128 Frames of the reflex 25 protocol? Is there a formula to calculate the frame depending of the capcode?
Thanks.
