Turning a New Page At Homeland Security

By Ellen McCarthy
Thursday, December 8, 2005; Page D05

Vince Kelly is spending a lot of time lately trying to convince officials at the Homeland Security Department that he's got the solution, or at least part of it, to their emergency communication problems.

Kelly, chief executive of Alexandria-based USA Mobility Inc., has been lobbying tech officials at the agency, telling them that his firm's technology is quick, portable, cheap, and is more likely than the cellular phone system to stay on air during a bad storm or other catastrophe. The technology, by the way, is called a pager.

This week the 9/11 Commission gave the federal government a failing grade for not freeing up enough radio spectrum for first responders. Wireless networks went down during the recent hurricanes and debate has boiled up again about how best to connect police officers, ambulance drivers and government officials during major emergencies.

Kelly's company, which controls 61 percent of the nation's paging market, does not have any contract proposals pending with the government right now. But he insists that agencies like Homeland Security and the Treasury Department should consider pagers as a still viable technology as they begin evaluating multibillion-dollar emergency communications proposals from some of the country's major government contractors.

Developed in the 1960s, the old-fashioned pager may not be as versatile or cutting edge as a BlackBerry or Web-enabled camera phone, he concedes. But he also said that it's more reliable in a crisis, able to send short messages both ways, and could be a cost-efficient backup system after more advanced networks fail.

Pagers operate on a different network than cellular phones. Compared with the wireless system, Kelly said that paging transmitters are more abundant, usually higher off the ground, and broadcast a more powerful signal. When a message is being sent to a particular pager, the signal is relayed through multiple transmitters so that even if some are damaged, the message will likely still get through. The paging network was built with greater redundancy, Kelly said, partly because so many companies were competing in the market during its heyday in the 1990s.

"Pagers just work better over a big geographic footprint," Kelly says. "You can get a message in a bunker with a pager. A hurricane can go through and you'll get the message with a pager."

There are limitations—and skeptics.

Messages sent by pager must be relatively short, compared with the prolific BlackBerry, for example, and the interaction is not nearly as fast as talking on the phone.

Officials in the cell phone industry, meanwhile, see little advantage in the device that was once a cutting edge accoutrement hanging from the belt of emergency officials, doctors and teenage poseurs.

Jim Gerace , a spokesman for Verizon Wireless, said his company's network is as reliable as that of any paging company.

"There are overlaps from cellular antenna to cellular antenna, so that if one of our antennas goes down, particularly in the city, that area is going to be served by another antenna," Gerace said.

Gary Arlen, president of Arlen Communications Inc., a Bethesda telecom research firm, said the idea of adopting pagers as a component of an emergency communication system is "intriguing," but may be a hard sell because the technology is perceived as outdated.

The technology is "reliable enough," he said, as long as the network of transmitters and antennae have been well maintained.

USA Mobility was formed a year ago after Alexandria-based Metrocall Holdings Inc. merged with rival paging firm Arch Wireless Inc. of Westborough, Mass. Both companies had recently been through bankruptcy proceedings because the individual consumers who comprised most of the industry's 45 million subscribers in 1999 quickly abandoned the technology for cell phones.

Today the company continues to lose customers as consumer holdouts finally switch to cell phones or BlackBerrys. The vast majority of the firm's 5.1 million subscribers now come from companies that don't want the expense of giving each employee a cell phone, but still need to keep in contact. Third-quarter profit fell to $355,000 (1 cent) from $6.7 million the previous year. While the firm's revenue rose to $151.9 million from $109.4 million, growth was fueled in part by sales of the very cell phones and BlackBerrys that have hurt the pager business: The company acts as a reseller for Sprint Nextel, Palm and other telecom companies.

But USA Mobility is also looking at other uses for the pager network, trying to sustain value out of its main asset. The firm recently signed a deal with two companies to provide meter-reading technology for electric and gas utilities. The idea is that readings could be sent digitally every hour, helping power companies charge different prices, depending on how much energy is used at peak and off-peak times. As for emergency responders, Kelly says the company still has a base of a million subscribers in state and local government who still rely on pagers. Convincing the Homeland Security Department to sign on, he admits, is going to take a bit more work.

Overheard

"No, the Ballmer children don't have their Xbox 360 yet . . . unfortunately, thanks to the wonders of Sarbanes-Oxley, management does not get a free Xbox 360 anymore," Steve Ballmer , chief executive of Microsoft Corp., told a crowd of 500 local technology executives who gathered at the Capital Hilton yesterday to hear him speak.

Sarbanes-Oxley has been blamed for a lot of things, but the deprivation of Steve Ballmer's kids is certainly a new one.

"If I get an XBox 360 from the company, that's income to me, and it's got to be disclosed," he said. "And our audit committee decided it wasn't worth it."

Thankfully, Santa doesn't answer to the same regulators.

Paging Terminology

Dear Brad:

I wish to support my wise (and wizened friend) Ron Mercer's recollection of the evolution of the name of that piece of paging equipment connected on one side to the PSTN and to the TX network on the other. His recollection is in sync with mine. Being among the two oldest guys in the paging industry should count for something.

Remembering that the first legal users of PSTN interconnected paging in this country, and most others (including New Zealand), was the local telephone company, it was natural that they referred to the paging encoder as a "terminal." For it was on this device that the telephony portion of the call Terminated much (from their view) like a telephone set. As they were the first players in this game, they got to make the rules and name the pieces.

From their perspective, what else would you call a device which terminated telephone traffic? I'm sure that Alexander Graham Bell would agree. Hey Ron, just what did he think about this?

With respect,

Barry Kanne

Brad, thought I would comment on 2 items in your very fine "magazine":

1. The guy looking for UHF Motorola Nucleus parts is in deep trouble—just ask Ken Knapp at ISC Technologies! He may have a solution, however. . .

2. The article on "paging terminals" is somewhat puzzling to me (in the biz for 33 years now). He did not mention a Major (capital M) terminal manufacturer—Motorola, who made at least 6 generations of terminals (switches if you must, but neither Motorola nor Glenayre ever referred to the infrastructure device as anything other than a "paging terminal"). Neither did American Controls of Raleigh (AMCOR) or Bill, Bob & Lloyd (BBL). "Two Guys from Atlanta" (TGA)?

A pager is a pager on your belt: a paging terminal sits inside your building in a cabinet or rack!

An MDT (mobile data terminal), however, is installed in a Police car, so who really can say?

Hi Brad,

I really liked your recent sections on Australian language.

Having traveled to some 45 countries in my time I can say that we truly we have a unique way of speaking in Australia.

I recently moved from our head office in the Land Down Under to sunny Jacksonville, Florida and whilst I think I am too old to absorb the American accent I have to adopt the language in order to make myself understood.

The other day I saw a lady driving down the road and she had left the lid to her gas tank on top of her trunk.

When I caught up to her at the red lights and yelled out to her to that her "petrol cap was on top of her boot" she looked at me kinda funny.

. . . and here I was thinking I was speaking English? Go figure.

Anyway I do hope you enjoyed the e-mails I sent you about Australia and our language.

Land down under—Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

Australia is a very confusing place, taking up a large amount of the bottom half of the planet. It is recognizable from orbit because of many unusual features, including what at first looks like an enormous bite taken out of its southern edge; a wall of sheer cliffs, which plunge deep into the girthing sea. Geologists assure us that this is simply an accident of geomorphology and plate tectonics, but they still call it the "Great Australian Bight" proving that not only are they covering up a more frightening theory, but they can't spell either!

The first of the confusing things about Australia is the status of the place. Where other land masses and sovereign lands are classified as either continent, island, or country, Australia is considered all three. Typically, it is unique in this.

The second confusing thing about Australia is the animals. They can be divided into three categories: Poisonous, Odd, and Sheep. It is true that of the 10 most poisonous arachnids on the planet, Australia has 9 of them.

Actually, it would be more accurate to say that of the 9 most poisonous arachnids, Australia has all of them. However, there are curiously few snakes, possible because the spiders have killed them all. But even the spiders won't go near the sea. Any visitors should be careful to check inside boots (before putting them on), under toilet seat (before sitting down) and generally everywhere else. A stick is very useful for this task.

At this point, we would like to mention the Platypus – estranged relative of the mammal, which has a duck-bill, otter's tail, webbed feet, lays eggs, detects its aquatic prey in the same way as the electric eel, and has venomous barbs attached to its hind legs, thus combining all 'typical' Australian attributes into a single improbable creature.

The last confusing thing about Australia is the inhabitants.

First, a short history:

Some time around 40,000 years ago, some people arrived in boats from the north. They ate all the available food, and a lot of them died. The ones that survived learned respect for the balance of nature, man's proper place in the scheme of things, and spiders. They settled in, and spent a lot of the intervening time making up strange stories. Then, around 200 years ago, Europeans arrived in boats from the north. More accurately, European convicts were sent, with a few deranged and stupid people in charge. They tried to plant their crops in Autumn (failing to take account of the reversal of the seasons when moving from the top half of the planet to the bottom), ate all their food, and a lot of them died.

About then the sheep arrived, and have been treasured ever since. It is interesting to note here that the Europeans always consider themselves vastly superior to any other race they encounter, since they can lie, cheat, steal, and litigate (marks of a civilized culture they say) whereas all the Aboriginals can do is happily survive being left in the middle of a vast red-hot desert, equipped with a stick.

Eventually, the new lot of people stopped being Europeans on Extended Holiday and became Australians. The changes are subtle, but deep, caused by the mind-stretching expanses of nothingness and eerie quiet, where a person can sit perfectly still and look deep inside themselves to the core of their essence, their reasons for being, and the necessity of checking inside your boots every morning for fatal surprises. They also picked up the most finely tuned sense of irony in the world, and the Aboriginal gift for making up stories. Be warned. There is also the matter of the beaches. Australian beaches are simply the nicest and best in the entire world. Although anyone actually venturing into the sea will have to contend with sharks, stinging jellyfish, stonefish (a fish which sits on the bottom of the sea, pretends to be a rock, and has venomous barbs sticking out of its back that will kill (just from the pain) and surfboarders. However, watching a beach sunset is worth the risk. As a result of all this hardship, dirt, thirst, and wombats, you would expect Australians to be a dour lot. Instead, they are genial, jolly, cheerful, and always willing to share a kind word with a stranger.

Faced with insurmountable odds and impossible problems, they smile disarmingly and look for a stick. Major engineering feats have been performed with sheets of corrugated iron, string, and mud.

Alone of all the races on earth, they seem to be free from the "Grass is Greener on the other side of the fence" syndrome, and roundly proclaim that Australia is, in fact, the other side of that fence. They call the land "Oz", "Godzone" (a verbal contraction of "God's Own Country") and "Best bloody place on earth, bar none, strewth." The irritating thing about this is they may be right.

There are some traps for the unsuspecting traveler, though. Do not, under any circumstances, suggest that the beer is imperfect, unless you are comparing it to another kind of Australian beer, and do not wear a Hawaiian shirt. Religion and Politics are fairly safe topics of conversation (Australians don't care too much about either) but Sport is a minefield.

The only correct answer to "So, howdya' like our country, eh?" is "Best {insert your own regional swear word here} country in the world!".

It is very likely that, on arriving, some cheerful Australians will 'adopt' you on your first night, and take you to a pub where Australian Beer is served. Despite the obvious danger, do not refuse. It is a form of initiation rite. You will wake up late the next day with an astonishing hangover, a foul taste in your mouth, and wearing strange clothes. Your hosts will usually make sure you get home, and waive off any legal difficulties with "It's his first time in Australia, so we took him to the pub.", to which the policeman will sagely nod and close his notebook. Be sure to tell the story of these events to every other Australian you encounter, adding new embellishments at every stage, and noting how strong the beer was. Thus you will be accepted into this unique culture.

Most Australians are now urban dwellers, having discovered the primary use of electricity, which is air-conditioning and refrigerators.

Go Aussies Go!

WE, the people of the broad brown land of Oz, wish to be recognized as a free nation of blokes, sheilas and the occasional wanker. We come from many lands (although a few too many of us come from New Zealand) and although we live in the best country in the world, we reserve the right to bitch and moan about it whenever we bloody like. We are One Nation but we're divided into many States.

First, there's Victoria, named after a queen who didn't believe in lesbians. Victoria is the realm of Mossimo turtlenecks, cafe latte, grandfinal day and big horse races. Its capital is Melbourne, whose chief marketing pitch is that it's "liveable". At least that's what they think. The rest of us think it is too bloody cold and wet.

Next, there's NSW, the realm of pastel shorts, macchiato with sugar, thin books read quickly and millions of dancing queens. Its capital Sydney has more queens than any other city in the world and is proud of it. Its mascots are Bondi lifesavers, who pull their Speedos up their cracks to keep the left and right sides of their brains separate.

Down south we have Tasmania, a State based on the notion that the family that bonks together stays together. In Tassie, everyone gets an extra chromosome at conception. Maps of the State bring smiles to the sternest faces. It holds the world record for a single mass shooting, which the Yanks can't seem to beat no matter how often they try.

South Australia is the province of half-decent reds, a festival of foreigners and bizarre axe murders. SA is the state of innovation, where else can you so effectively reuse country bank vaults and barrels as in Snowtown, just out of Adelaide (also named after a queen). They had the Grand Prix, but lost it when the views of Adelaide sent the Formula One drivers to sleep at the wheel.

Western Australia is too far from anywhere to be relevant in this document. It's main claim to fame is that it doesn't have daylight saving because if it did all the men would get erections on the bus on the way to work. WA was the last state to stop importing convicts and many of them still work there in the government and business.

The Northern Territory is the red heart of our land. Outback plains, sheep stations the size of Europe, kangaroos, jackaroos, emus, Uluru and dusty kids with big smiles. It also has the highest beer consumption of anywhere on the planet and its creek beds have the highest aluminium content of anywhere too. Although the Territory is the centre piece of our national culture, few of us live there and the rest prefer to fly over it on our way to Bali.

And there's Queensland. While any mention of God seems silly in a document defining a nation of half-arsed agnostics, it is worth noting that God probably made Queensland. Why he filled it with dickheads remains a mystery.

Oh yes and there's Canberra. The least said the better. We, the citizens of Oz, are united by the Pacific Highway, whose treacherous twists and turns kill more of us each year than die by murder. We are united in our lust for international recognition, so desperate for praise we leap in joy when a rag tag gaggle of corrupt IOC officials tells us Sydney is better than Beijing. We are united by a democracy so flawed that a political party, albeit a redneck gun-toting one, can get a million votes and still not win one seat in Federal Parliament while bloody Brian Harradine can get 24,000 votes and run the whole country. Not that we're whingeing, we leave that to our Pommy immigrants. We want to make "no worries mate" our national phrase, "she'll be right mate" our national attitude and "Waltzing Matilda" our national anthem (So what if it's about a sheep-stealing crim who commits suicide). We love sport so much our news readers can read! The death toll from a sailing race and still tell us who's winning. And we're the best in the world at all the sports that count, like cricket, netball, rugby, AFL, roo-shooting, two-up and horse racing. We also have the biggest rock, the tastiest pies, the blackest aborigines and the worst-dressed Olympians in the known universe.

We shoot, we root, we vote. We are girt by sea and pissed by lunchtime. And even though we might seem a racist, closed-minded, sports-obsessed little people, at least we're better than the Kiwis.

Inmarsat launches $1.5B satellite service

DEC. 7 12:41 P.M. ET Britain's Inmarsat Plc switched on the first phase of its long-awaited US$1.5 billion (euro1.3 billion) satellite service Wednesday, giving users across Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia access to simultaneous voice and broadband Internet.

London-based Inmarsat, which operates a constellation of satellites that enable voice and data services including telephony, fax, video, e-mail and Internet access, said its Broadband Global Area Network, or BGAN, service will allow data transfer speeds of up to 492 kilobits per second.

The company has been working on the service for six years and launched two of the world's largest commercial satellites—each the size of a London double decker bus and weighing six tons—in March and November to deliver coverage.

The first of those satellites was switched on Wednesday. The second is scheduled to come on line in the second quarter of 2006 and will extend coverage to the Americas, meaning the entire service will cover 85 percent of the world's landmass and 98 percent of the global population.

Inmarsat Chief Operating Officer Michael Butler said that BGAN is the world's first mobile communications service to provide both voice and broadband data simultaneously through a portable device.

"It enables any user of this service to set up a mobile broadband office anywhere in minutes," Butler said at the launch in London.

Inmarsat said that the satellites double the data speeds that were available prior to the launch and also offer 25 percent faster speeds than currently available with 3G, or third-generation, mobile operators.

"The mobile office has been talked about for many years, but the mobile broadband office has only recently started to become a reality through the limited rollout of 3G-type services," Butler said. "We are effectively providing that connectivity across 86 percent of the earth's landmass seamlessly, something that no 3G network can or is likely to be able to boast in the foreseable future."

The service can be accessed through a range of lightweight satellite terminals, the smallest of which is about half the size of a laptop computer. The cost of the terminal ranges from US$1,500 (euro1,250) to US$3,500 (euro2,916.67).

Butler said that the service is cost-effective, particularly compared with cellular roaming.

"If I take my cellphone to the U.S., I would typically pay two or three times what I would pay using BGAN. If I go to the United Arab Emirates, I would pay five times," he said.

Comparing the standard IP to 3G roaming, Butler said the BGAN service was US$4-7 (euro3.30-5.80) per megabit for the end user, compared to US$15 (euro12.50).

Inmarsat is also looking into the launch of a third I-4 satellite, originally built as a ground spare, which would provide global coverage.

"That isn't necessarily so essential for the services that we are talking about today, but an extended broadband capability to the maritime and aeronautical sectors it becomes much more of a consideration," Butler said.

The new service has already been used on a trial basis by a number of Inmarsat's customers, including the United Nations, the Red Cross and several oil companies.

Inmarsat, which listed on the London Stock Exchange in June, was set up in 1979 as an intergovernmental organization to provide communications to the global maritime community. The maritime business remains Inmarsat's biggest.
