Dear Friends of Wireless Messaging,

We have tried to disguise it, repackage it, camouflage it, re-name it, sugar coat it, and re-define it—but it's still PAGING and it's still the best way to communicate quickly and efficiently with one person, or a million people at a time. For a review of why, click here.

Let's get the message out to those who need to hear it. This is a public forum for your ideas and suggestions. I hope to hear from you.

Dr. Bernie Dahl, the Keynote Speaker at the AAPC Wireless Forum, wrote with an apology for “too much data” in his presentation and an offer for a free book to any attendee. Please see the Letters to the Editor section at the end of the newsletter for more information. I enjoyed his talk very much and didn't think any apology was needed. Dr. Dahl and I had a chance to talk the night before his session and we found that we share a common faith. If you enjoyed his talk as well, I am sure he would appreciate hearing from you. There is a clickable link in the Letters to the Editor section to send him an e-mail.

Opinion: Whatever happened to paging?

Craig Mathias

June 13, 2007 (Computerworld) Just as is the case with wire, we've seen a steady advance in both the throughput and the price/performance of wireless networks of all forms. As I've noted before, there is of necessity an inverse relationship between range and throughput in terrestrial wireless systems. In brief, the farther you go, the slower you go.

This is an essential result of what's known as the inverse power law, which states that the power of a radio transmission fades with the square of distance, or exponentially. This also explains -- along with other forms of radio-wave fading and regulatory bandwidth restrictions — the highly variable throughput we're always likely to see in wireless, and why the range and throughput numbers for any given wireless product or service must be evaluated separately. Maximum range never applies to maximum throughput, and vice versa.

In the early days of wireless, however, the laws of physics and expensive base-station equipment demanding large coverage areas, coupled with inherently low-performance radios (we just didn't have the technology for wireless broadband 15 years ago), meant that the whole model of wireless data in the wide area was oriented around low throughput and thus the requirement for a high tolerance of latency. One of the most important technologies in these days was paging, a service allocated its own set of frequencies by the Federal Communications Commission and originally designed around the concept of a beeper — call a number, enter the beeper's ID, and the device carried by the user would literally beep. That person would then find a pay phone and call in for the message. This was back in the days when equipment was expensive and people were cheap.

Well, it didn't take too long for paging service to be significantly enhanced, first with numeric paging, which displayed the phone number to be called right on the beeper, and then alphanumeric paging, which was a form of one-way text messaging. Then this was extended with what was called "one-and-a-half-way paging," more accurately described as "acknowledgement paging," where a pager could transmit an acknowledgement that the message had been received. And then we had true two-way paging with two-way short message service.

Many cellular carriers eventually offered messaging services as well, and when cell phones began to catch on in the mid-1990s, paging quickly saw the handwriting on the wall. It was possible for a while to make such claims as significant cost savings when using both a pager and a cell phone, and this was true until cellular rates fell dramatically. The low bandwidth and relatively high latency of paging networks also weren't suited to those staples of modern messaging, multimedia data objects and sending digital photos around. Cellular services usually include Short Messaging Service or Multimedia Messaging Service with no additional hardware required. It looked, as of the late '90s, like paging's time had finally passed.

Sure enough, there's been a massive consolidation in paging, and we're down to one big national operator, USA Mobility, a couple of smaller national operators, American Messaging and SkyTel, and a whole bunch of regional and smaller operators.

According to USA Mobility, paging subscribers peaked in 1998 at 45 million and sit at a bit below 7 million today. Paging is still popular in the health care and government markets, and remains such because of reliability. Paging signals have good in-building penetration and range because they're usually broadcast at 3,000 to 4,000 watts, compared with less than 1,000 watts (and usually only a hundred watts or so) for cellular.

It's likely that the glory days of paging are over, but paging network operators are talking about some exciting new directions — telemetry, telematics, advertising, meter reading and more.

And paging networks are already in use for "machine-to-machine" applications. Here's an example in the residential energy management space. Owning spectrum — every little tiny chunk of it — is always a door to opportunity. So, while paging isn't coming back as a personal communications technology, it is likely that it will be around well into the future in a broad range of unexciting — but still important — applications.

SkyTel Partners With VMS to Expand U.S. Distribution of SkyGuard Vehicle Safety Technology

June 11, 2007: 08:42 PM EST

INDIANAPOLIS, June 11, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) — Bell Industries, Inc. (AMEX:BI) today announced that its SkyTel division entered into a strategic alliance with Vehicle Manufacturers' Services (VMS) to distribute SkyGuard, advanced Vehicle Safety Technology (tm) to the consumer market. Under this 20-year agreement, VMS will serve as SkyTel's sole U.S. sales representative with the exclusive right to market and sell SkyGuard to third parties within the automotive industry. VMS will receive a fee based upon a percentage of SkyTel's net profits from the sales of the SkyGuard products and service agreements.

SkyGuard uniquely offers consumers the ability to find their vehicle, ensure drivers are secure and safe, manage vehicle maintenance, and help new drivers. Combining GPS technology and a nationwide wireless network, SkyGuard records and transmits a vehicle's location and speed, providing users access to a wealth of tracking, monitoring, control and reporting features via SkyGuard's easy-to-use, secure website. SkyGuard also offers remote features such as the ability to disable a vehicle's starter system, and lock and unlock capabilities.

"SkyGuard is the leader in vehicle safety technology, and we are very excited about our prospects under this alliance," said John A. Fellows, president and chief executive officer. "Leveraging our leadership in wireless technology, we believe SkyTel is particularly well positioned to capitalize on the rapidly growing vehicle reassurance and mobile resource management markets."

Fellows noted that a Federal Bureau of Investigation report stated that a vehicle is stolen every 25.5 seconds in the United States and 1.2 million vehicles, at an estimated total value of $7.6 billion, were reportedly stolen in 2005.

George J. Wafer, founder and chief executive officer of VMS, has more than three decades of experience delivering products, services and solutions to the automotive industry. He is credited with developing the first lock-out radio to resolve theft problems, orchestrating the first outsourced original equipment manufacturer (OEM) radio sold through distributors to auto dealers, and integrating the industry's first paperless program for an OEM.

"This long-term strategic alliance underscores the value that we believe this partnership will create for SkyTel," Fellows said. "George and his team bring product development and distribution expertise that can only come from an organization with significant experience successfully selling products to most major car manufacturers and major automotive distributors in the United States and Canada. We are more than confident that VMS's expertise and extensive network of contacts in the automotive industry will be instrumental in establishing a formidable distribution channel for SkyGuard, to sell it directly to consumers at the point of purchase for a vehicle. In addition to consumers, we believe that SkyGuard has significant value to insurance companies and lending institutions, as it is a key part of protecting their investment."

Fellows said, "This partnership is yet another critical step in creating additional growth initiatives for Bell Industries, and we look forward to continued progress in this exciting phase of expansion."

FCC’s CPNI Rules To Thwart “Pretexting” Published In Federal Register; Comment Dates Set For Further Notice

Previously adopted pretexting rules effective December 8 or subsequent OMB approval; FNPRM Comments due July 9, Replies August 7

The FCC has published in the Federal Register its April 2 customer proprietary network information (CPNI) order responding to “pretexting”—the “data broker” practice of pretending to be a particular customer or other authorized person in order to obtain access to that customer’s call detail or other private communications records. However, the majority of the new rules will not become effective until the FCC’s order receives Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for new information requirements or until six months after the order’s June 8 effective date, whichever is later. This means the earliest the new rules can become effective is approximately December 8.
