FRIDAY - NOVEMBER 30, 2007 - ISSUE NO. 287

Dear Friends of Wireless Messaging,

Winter is here in Illinois. We have even had some light snow. I hope you are keeping warm.

I have an opportunity to supply a large amount of paging equipment spare parts for a system is Asia. The original manufacturer was Motorola.

  • RF Baton! (transmitter controller)
  • Power Amplifier module
  • Exciter module
  • Power Supply module
  • Station Controller module
  • UHF Nucleus paging transmitter 125 W)
  • Reference module
  • Receiver module
  • GPS antenna 3000 with connect cable
  • UHF frequency is 284 MHz~286 MHz

Please call me if you would like to get involved in this project and you can help source this equipment. Please note that the 284~286 MHz band is only used in Asia and so some of this equipment may be hard to find.

Over the years, I have received a couple of complaints about my “self promotion.” They usually come from people who have jobs and who are receiving regular paychecks.This newsletter is made possible by paid advertising and individual contributions.

As most of you know, I also do consulting work. Since I don't have a “regular job” the consulting work helps to buy groceries and other extravagances. I have just finished a new consulting web page that includes information about me, my colleagues, and the work we do. I don't really feel it is necessary to apologise for this “promotion.”

A CONSULTING ALLIANCE

Brad Dye, Ron Mercer, and Vic Jackson are friends and colleagues who work both together and independently, on wireline and wireless communications projects. Click here for a summary of their qualifications and experience. They collaborate on consulting assignments, and share the work according to their individual expertise and the amount of time they have available.

There is an interesting article this week about the 60th anniversary of the invention of the transistor. It recalls the Raytheon CK-722, one of the first commercial junction transistors. When I was in junior high school, I made a transistor radio using one of these same transistors. I put it into a hollowed-out book and took it to school with me. I remember going around clipping the antenna lead onto different metal objects trying to get a better signal. In the mid 1950's—this was probably the first transistor radio in the little town where we lived at the time.

Now on to more news and views . . .

American Association of Paging Carriers (AAPC)
announces formal affiliation with
Enterprise Wireless Alliance (EWA)

AAPC wants to ensure that you are fully aware of its recent formal affiliation with the Enterprise Wireless Alliance (EWA). Under the affiliation, AAPC will continue to function as an independent association with the objective to promote the paging industry, and will now have the advantage of offering the following benefits to its membership as a result of the new affiliation with EWA:

1. Joint regulatory advocacy efforts will be conducted with EWA providing AAPC with an enhanced voice before the Federal Communications Commission on matters concerned with the paging industry.

2. Our annual AAPC Wireless Forum conference will now be held in conjunction with the Enterprise Wireless event in the fall of 2008. While we know many of you will miss Myrtle Beach, we commit that we will have several sessions dedicated to pertinent topics within our industry. Further, our industry vendors will be an integral part of the event continuing their exhibition and participation. In addition, social activities, including an expanded golf tournament will be maintained. Plan now to attend this premier event in early November in Arizona. You will be notified of the exact dates and location when finalized.

3. The affiliation will expose you to the latest in wireless technologies, as well as provide our vendors the opportunity to promote their products and services to potential customers at the annual fall conference.

EWA is an FCC-certified frequency advisory committee serving enterprise, technology providers, and communications service organizations with licensing, spectrum management, and consulting services. Membership in the association is open to all users of wireless communications systems, manufacturers, system operators, and communication service providers. EWA produces a newsletter, regulatory updates, a magazine — Enterprise Wireless™, and will now welcome AAPC's active participation at their annual conference and trade show for new wireless products and business operations sessions. As of November 1, all AAPC members began receiving these additional membership benefits.

We believe this affiliation is a critical step forward in continuing to build AAPC by strengthening our industry's voice before the FCC and by increasing the benefits that our members receive. If you are not currently an AAPC member, now is the perfect time to take another look at this dynamic association. Please e-mail aapc@ec.rr.com or go to our web site, www.pagingcarriers.org, for an AAPC membership application.

U of C involved in space research mission

UPDATED: 2007-11-28 15:30:08 MST
By TARINA WHITE, SUN MEDIA

Calgary scientists are part of a Canadian team planning a space mission to research severe solar storms that are to blame for satellite disruption.

The research is important because satellite failure can lead to everything from the disruption of airplane navigation systems to cell phone coverage, said Dr. Andrew Yau, a physics and astronomy professor and research chair in experimental space science at the University of Calgary.

“We are increasingly relying on GPS-based systems,” Yau said today.

Space storms — as powerful as a Category 5 hurricane — omit radiation and “killer electrons” that bury themselves into sensitive electronic components of satellites, he said.

“The reason we want to study it is it is really nasty stuff,” Yau said about the damaging electrons.

In May 1998, the Galaxy 4 satellite failed, silencing about 80% of the pager traffic in the United States and disrupting paging services, television networks and financial services.

And in January 1994, Anik E-1 and Anik E-2 satellites, built and operated by Telesat Canada, were damaged by high energy electrons, affecting nationwide television and news gathering services.

Led by the University of Alberta, the purpose of the proposed ORBITALS Mission is to better understand the dynamics of space weather and to eventually map it to protect satellites from severe storms, said Dr. Gregory Taylor, dean of science at the UofA.

“This is a very exciting project that is leveraging our specialised expertise to design leading-edge technologies that may help answer some fundamental scientific questions about how space weather affects our daily lives,” said Taylor.

The mission is a collaboration of the Canadian Space Agency, NASA, the University of Alberta and the U of C.

There are more than 350 telecommunication satellites currently orbiting the Earth, providing signals for television, pager and other global communication applications. The mission is scheduled to launch in 2012.

Motorola Names Greg Brown Chief Executive Officer, Succeeding Edward J. Zander Who Remains Chairman

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. – 30 November 2007 – Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today announced that its Board of Directors has elected Greg Brown, 47, as Chief Executive Officer of Motorola, effective January 1, 2008. Mr. Brown currently serves as President and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Brown will succeed Edward J. Zander as CEO, and Mr. Zander, 60, will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors until the annual meeting of stockholders in May 2008.

On behalf of Motorola’s Board of Directors, Samuel C. Scott III, lead director, said, “I want to take this opportunity to thank Ed for his vision, expertise and tireless commitment to Motorola. We greatly appreciate his many contributions and wish him all the best in the years ahead. Today’s decision is the culmination of a thoughtful and disciplined process of succession planning.”

Scott added, “The Board is delighted that Greg will serve as CEO. We are confident that he will bring a combination of strategic insight, operational discipline, and inspirational leadership needed for accelerated and sustained growth.”

"We are exceedingly fortunate to have a leader of Greg’s caliber, vision and experience. He has been an invaluable partner and I am confident he is the right person to be the next CEO of Motorola and lead the Company through its multi-year transformation,” said Zander. “Next year marks my 40th year in the technology industry. This is the right time for me to move on to the next phase in my life and spend more time with my family. I am grateful I had the opportunity to lead Motorola over the last four years. It’s been a wonderful experience.”

“I am privileged to become the CEO of Motorola,” said Greg Brown. “This is a unique Company with strong technology, people and customers. I welcome this opportunity to lead Motorola successfully into the future. We have a lot to do and I am intensely focused on building shareholder value. I look forward to working closely with Ed to ensure a smooth transition.”

Greg Brown Background

Since March 2007, Mr. Brown has served as President and Chief Operating Officer of Motorola and was elected to the Company’s Board of Directors earlier this year.

Prior to his role as President and COO, Mr. Brown headed four different businesses at Motorola. He also led the $3.9 billion acquisition of Symbol Technologies, the second largest transaction in Motorola’s history and an important strategic move to strengthen Motorola’s enterprise offering. Additionally, Mr. Brown returned the automotive business to profitability, while also leading the divestiture of that business which was sold to Continental for $1.0 billion. He also led the government and public safety business for four years, substantially growing earnings over that time. Mr. Brown joined Motorola in 2003.

Prior to joining Motorola, Mr. Brown was chairman and CEO of Micromuse Inc., a network management software company. Before that, he was President of Ameritech Custom Business Services and Ameritech New Media Inc. Before joining Ameritech in 1987, Mr. Brown held a variety of sales and marketing positions with AT&T for five years, resulting in 25 years of high-tech experience.

An active member of the civic and business communities, he was appointed by the White House to serve on President Bush’s National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee (NSTAC) in May 2004. Mr. Brown is also a member of the board of directors for United Way, World Business Chicago, and the U.S.-China Business Council.

Mr. Brown received his bachelor's degree in economics from Rutgers University and is a member of the Rutgers board of overseers.

RIM may be next with touch screen

Consultant Levy argues Waterloo firm is anxious to lure more consumers

Nov 27, 2007 04:30 AM
CHRIS SORENSEN
BUSINESS REPORTER

With the iPhone making its way onto Christmas lists around the world, the guessing game about BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion Ltd.'s response has already begun in earnest.

At least one industry-watcher says Waterloo-based RIM is poised to unveil a touch-screen device as early as next year to compete with Apple Inc.'s iPhone, which is not yet available in Canada.

RIM's new device will mark a departure from the traditional half-screen, half-keyboard look of the company's popular BlackBerry models and would be aimed squarely at consumers, said Carmi Levy, a former tech analyst who is now the senior vice-president of strategic consulting for AR Communications Inc.

The logic behind such a move is simple, said Levy, who cited sources at RIM for his information. A growing segment of RIM's new subscribers are consumers, as opposed to corporate types, and consumers want multimedia-capable devices with large, vivid screens to view photos, browse the Web and watch video.

"They're playing in a very different sandbox than they were in the past," Levy said. "The philosophy that endeared them so strongly to the enterprise market needs to evolve as they move into the consumer space. They are learning from the Apple experience."

RIM declined to comment on the speculation, citing company policy.

Apple unveiled the iPhone to great fanfare in late June. At the time, several observers suggested that the design-oriented computer and iPod maker had raised the bar for the entire handset industry with the sleek touch-screen device.

Unlike competing smartphones made by RIM and Palm Inc., the iPhone requires users to type in phone numbers or email messages via a virtual keyboard.

Most analysts, however, have so far played down the impact of the iPhone on RIM's core market of business users. That's because Apple's virtual keyboard, while nifty, has been criticized in several reviews for not being as functional as RIM's tactile one.

Still, it's no secret that RIM has its eye on the consumer space with devices such as the BlackBerry Pearl, which looks more like a cellphone. In fact, co-chief executive officer Jim Balsillie said during an October conference call that the number of new non-business customers in North America eclipsed new corporate customers for the first time in RIM's history during the second quarter.

Other analysts said they could not corroborate Levy's information about the possibility that RIM was set to unveil a touch-screen device.

Ken Dulaney, an analyst at Gartner Research, said he believes RIM's future growth will depend on its ability to engineer new "form factors." He stressed, however, that "RIM has always been about text input, and my experience is that, on the iPhone, text (input) is one of the weakest features."

Michelle Warren, an analyst with Info-Tech Research Group, said she wouldn't be surprised to learn that RIM's engineers were exploring the idea of a touch-screen interface.

She stressed, however, that RIM was not the type of company to launch a device until the technology had been perfected.
