Dear friends of Wireless Messaging and Paging, I would like to extend a big WELCOME to a new advertiser, NotePage—supplier of Paging Software and Messaging Software. Following is a sample of two of their products. For more info please visit their web site.
There have been a lot of nice people calling up and asking for the current size of the US Paging Market. Of course, there are two markets, the "Public" and the "Private" markets. Or the "Subscriber" and the "On-site" (On-premise) markets. As you have probably noticed, I have been trying to get the carriers to voluntarily publish numbers of subscribers for the last couple of years. Arch and Metrocall have been good to give their units in service in Press Releases, 10-Q Reports, Annual Reports, and an Investor Presentation. Some of the other carriers don't publicly report units in service. So I went back through all the materials that I could find and put together a short Paging Market Report that follows below. If there are mistakes maybe they will evoke comments and corrections. Whether you think it is good or bad is not important; we need to know the facts. Everyone needs to know—analysts, investors, manufacturers, academics, and marketing people. I had to estimate some of the Paging market attrition in the last six months. If you have access to more accurate figures, please share them with me. It is for the good of our industry. People in the cellphone industry can go to the CTIA web site anytime they want to and find out how many US subscribers there are. Why can't we? Harold Geneen, the CEO who built ITT Industries Inc. into a major computer conglomerate [used to say]: "Get the real facts. Not the apparent facts, the hoped-for facts, or the obvious facts. Get the real facts, based on analysis." [source] (Contributed by Ron Mercer.) For next week, I am working on a short report on the pending Arch/Metrocall merger. Now on to the Wireless Messaging news and views. |

Churches Installing Cell Phone Jammers Sun Oct 17, 7:17 AM ET Technology—AP MONTERREY, Mexico—It was the reporters who noticed first. Unable to call their editors while covering the weddings of the rich and famous, they asked the priest why their cell phones never worked at Sacred Heart. His reply: Israeli counterintelligence. In four Monterrey churches, Israeli-made cell phone jammers the size of paperbacks have been tucked unobtrusively among paintings of the Madonna (news - web sites) and statues of the saints. The jarring polychromatic din of ringing cell phones is increasingly being thwarted—from religious sanctuaries to India's parliament to Tokyo theaters and commuter trains—by devices originally developed to help security forces avert eavesdropping and thwart phone-triggered bombings. The Indian parliament had jammers installed after politicians ignored requests to turn off their cell phones and legislative sessions were constantly interrupted. In Italy, universities started using the blockers after discovering that cell phone-savvy teenagers were cheating on exams by sending text messages or taking pictures of tests. The four Roman Catholic Churches in this northern city began using the devices, from Tel Aviv-based Netline Communications Technologies Ltd., after an insurance salesman imported them as a personal favor for a priest. "There are still many people who don't understand that being at Mass is sharing a moment with God," said the Rev. Juan Jose Martinez, a spokesman for archdiocese. "Sadly, we had no other choice but to use these little gadgets." Purchased for about $2,000 each, they can be turned on by remote control and emit low-level radio frequencies that thwart cell phone signals within a 100-foot radius. Users get a "no service" or "signal not available" message on their cell phones. Although Mexico has no law against the devices, the private use of cell phone blockers is illegal in the United States and most Western countries. But the tide is turning. Japan allows public places such as theaters and concert halls to install jammers, provided they obtain a government-issued license. And last week, France's industry minister approved a decision to let cinemas, concert halls and theaters install them — as long as provisions are in place so emergency calls can still be made. Canada had considered allowing blocking in similar situations. But Industry Canada, which regulates the country's telecommunications, decided against it, saying the devices could infringe on personal freedom and affect public safety by crippling communication with law enforcement and security agencies. Officials at Netline, which sold its first jammer in 1998, say they are selling thousands of jammers a year and have expanded their business throughout the world. They're far from the only manufacturers. The devices are sold the world over, with dozens of suppliers selling them on the Internet. Tokyo-based Medic Inc. sold thousands of its Wave Wall jammers before the government stepped in and regulated their use to venues with live performances. Commuters still buy mobile jammers to shut up chatty train passengers, even though their use is illegal. In Scotland, businessman Ronnie McGuire, owner of Electron Electrical Engineering Services, imported Taiwan-made cell phone blockers and sold them to hotels, restaurants and bars until a local newspaper reported his activities, which were illegal in Britain. McGuire has said he will still import the Taiwanese devices but sell them for export only to countries where they are allowed. Loreen Haim, the director of marketing and sales for Netline, wouldn't say how many devices the company sells per year or what country buys the most. In Mexico, the main clients have been banks looking to stop would-be robbers from communicating with their accomplices and the Mexican government, which is planning to use them at prisons, Haim said. In Monterrey, the Sacred Heart church, a baroque temple favored by Mexico's elite for weddings, church officials acquired their blockers two years ago. "Whenever there was a wedding, cell phones would ring every five minutes," said Bulmaro Carranza, a parish clerk. "It was a real problem because there were times when even the groom would forget to turn his cell phone off." For months, the devices went unnoticed until reporters covering the weddings began complaining that their cell phones never worked. Since word of the jammers went public, priests from around Mexico have been calling to find out how to get them, said Carranza. At Sacred Heart, a device at the entrance to the church and another by the altar are turned on right before every Mass. Still, priests remind parishioners to turn off their phones before beginning the services, hoping good cell phone etiquette will eventually catch on. The other Monterrey churches with the devices—The Rosario, San Juan Bosco and Our Lady Queen of the Angels—are also frequented by wealthier parishioners, Martinez said. "For a lot of them, the cell phone is a necessity. But that shouldn't prevent them from having good manners and remembering that one must respect sacred places," Martinez said. Margarita Escobedo, a Catholic who goes to church at least twice a week and volunteers at the San Genaro church, says she would welcome the jammers in her parish, where cell phones are becoming a nuisance. "Those who bring cell phones to church are not committed to God," Escobedo said. "It's very distracting to be praying and suddenly hear birds chirping or techno music." Source: Associated Press via YAHOO! News Want to know the hardware behind Echelon? 15 October 2004 You've probably heard about Echelon, the vast listening system run by the US, UK, Canada and Australia that scans the world's voice traffic looking for key words and phrases. Aside from using the system for industrial espionage and bypassing international and national laws to listen in on people, it is also used to listen out for people like Osama bin Laden and assorted terrorists in the hope of preventing attacks. All this is out in the relative open thanks to investigative journalists and a European Commission report into the system, concerned and annoyed that the Brits and Yanks has got there first. It works like this: The calls are recorded by geo-stationary spy satellites and listening stations, such as the UK's Menworth Hill, which combine satellite-intercepted calls and trunk landline intercepts and forward them on to centres, such as the US' Fort Meade, where supercomputers work on the recordings in real time. But what, you ask, can deal with that overwhelming mass of data that helps our government spy on the world? And how does it work? Well, a Texas Memory Systems SAM product - a combined solid-state disk (SSD) and DSP (digital signal processor). Woody Hutsell, an executive VP at TMS, said: "Fifty percent of our revenue this year will come from DSP systems, more than last year. The systems are a combination of SSD with DSP ASICs." ASICs are application-specific integrated circuits - chips dedicated to a specific purpose. TMS has a TM-44 DSP chip which has 8 GFLOPS of processing power - that's eight billion floating point operations per second. The processing uses floating point arithmatic operations to supply the accuracy needed for the analysis. A DSP chip turns analogue signals from a sensor or recorder into digital information usable by a computer. Digital cameras will use a DSP to turn the light signals coming through the lens into digital picture element, or pixel, information. A SAM-650 product is called a 192 GFLOPS DSP supercomputer by TMS. It is just 3U high and has 24 DSP chips and is positioned as a back-end number cruncher controlled by any standard server - a similar architecture to that used by Cray supercomputers. There are vast streams of information coming from recorded telephone conversations. The ability to have the DSPs work in parallel speeds up analysis enormously. Spinning hard drives can't feed the DSPs fast enough, nor are they quick enough for subsequent software analysis of the data. Consequently TMS uses its solid state technology to provide a buffer up to 32GB that keeps the DSPs operating at full speed. A cluster of five SAM-650's provides a terra flop of processing power; one trillion floating point operations per second. Echelon is a global surveillance network set up in Cold War days to provide the US government with intelligence data about Russia. One of the main contractors is Raytheon. Lockheed Martin has been involved in writing software for it. Since then it has expanded into a general listening facility, an electronic vacuum cleaner, sucking up the world's telephone conversations. Information about it's existence has been reluctantly revealed, prompted by scandals such as the recordings of Princess Diana's telephone calls by the NSA. Recorded signals are fed into the TMS SAM systems where the DSPs filter out the noise to produce much clearer signals that software can work on to detect individual voices, perform voice recognition, and listen out for keywords, such as, for example, "Semtex". Decryption of encrypted calls is also a likely activity. Hutsell says the SAM systems, "are supplied to intelligence agencies and the military though system integrators like Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and Zeta. It's an intelligence community application involving data from various sources. This is loaded into RAM and then real-time analysis is carried out on it. Step one is to filter out the noise and our DSP chips are used for that. Then they look into patterns using other tools - images or voice. It's very high-speed." TMS has supplied its RAMsan high-speed SSD technology to several US government agencies. Hutsell said, "We have recently sold another terabyte system to a federal agency. It's installed in the DC [District of Columbia] area via our partner Vion. There's another in a government data centre with Oracle indices that needed to be accelerated." TMS has had 40 percent year on year growth for three years. It has no debt and is privately-owned. Hutsell said: "This year is the healthiest year ever." Half the company's revenue comes from the government sector. Fast, very fast, database and recorded signal access is the name of this game. The US government wants to know what you and I are talking about. Spy in the sky satellites listen in to what we say and look at what we do. Then solid state disk keeps the real time analysis of these calls and images operating at full speed. The world's fastest storage system is used in the world's most sophisticated spying operation. Impressive and scary at the same time. Source: TECHWORLD RIM Intros Souped-Up BlackBerry for Mobile Enterprise
Research In Motion (RIM) is offering a peek at the company's latest wireless BlackBerry , a handheld that operates on Wi-Fi (802.11b) networks and supports both voice over Internet communications and data connectivity on local area networks. The BlackBerry 7270, now in beta testing, is being launched in conjunction with RIM's latest BlackBerry Enterprise Server software. The company is targeting both enterprise customers and software vendors creating applications for the mobile workforce. Making Wi-Fi Connection The company is confident the 7270 will appeal to organizations that have workers on the move throughout their on-campus facilities—such as hospitals and manufacturing firms—and need access to both data and voice networks, he told NewsFactor. "This is comparable to current BlackBerry models in that it helps users keep in touch with enterprise applications, such as CRM, inventory management and call-center data," Werezak said. The new device also integrates with a company's internal telephony equipment to enable VoIP calling, extending desktop phone functionality to the BlackBerry. BlackBerry Software Upgrade The new software integrates with Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and Novell GroupWise for the type of wireless e-mail access that has made the BlackBerry a favorite among mobile-enterprise workers. The new handheld should be commercially available early next year, and RIM will begin field trials starting next month in an effort to gather feedback from users before the official launch, said Werezak. Pricing details will be related at a later date. Source: NEWSFACTOR TOP TECHNEWS AFA Supports Recommendations for Portable Electronic Devices Common Symbols and Terminology Will Help Improve Management of Wireless Device Use on Aircraft WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/—The Association of Flight Attendants- CWA strongly supported a set of proposed standards, unveiled today by an electronics industry association, aimed at making it easier and more verifiable for passengers to disable wireless device components in compliance with airline safety rules. "With the proliferation of new multi-function electronic devices with wireless transmitters, including cell phones, laptop computers and PDAs, airline crew and passengers are often not sure whether transmitters on a given device are on, or capable of being turned on inadvertently," said Candace Kolander of the AFA Air Safety, Health and Security Department. "Many travelers want to use these devices in-flight to write letters, check appointments, listen to music or play video games. The purpose of this Recommended Practice is to give passengers and crew, during those in-flight periods when non-transmitting electronic devices are allowed, a clear, consistent indication that wireless transmitters are truly disabled." Portable Electronic Devices, or PEDs, often include transmitters that may interfere with an aircraft's communications and navigational systems. "Recommended Practice—Status Indicator for and Control of Transmitters in Portable Electronic Devices" meets three critical objectives:
The recommendations were developed during the past year by the Consumer Electronics Association's PEDs Working Group, which includes AFA and other airline labor organizations as well as airline management groups and wireless product and component manufacturers. More than 46,000 flight attendants join together to form AFA, the world's largest flight attendant union. AFA is part of the 700,000 member strong Communications Workers of America, AFL-CIO.

From: Rob Lockhart Hiya Brad, ol' buddy I just read your readers comment section. . . Mike obviously has a valid point about business models but encryption is a freebie from the network side. Speaking as the father of FLEXSuite and the editor of several of the PCIA's standards for paging and wireless data from TAP to TNPP to CALEA, the ability to encrypt has always been included in all the paging protocols from the OTA stuff (FLEX, ReFLEX, et al the "FLEXs") to TNPP and even the old TDP Suite. For the most part, such encryption methods were transparent once we allowed 8-bit data in the early '90s. Anyone who wants to provide encryption from end-to-end has a free ride on the networks. Even VPN is possible in two-way networks.

US Public Subscriber Paging Market Report Section three contains my new report on the US Subscriber Paging Market. The other sections are background information from previously published reports. In the first two sections, the number of units in service (UIS) and the number of units lost, are given as they were reported by Metrocall and Arch, at the end of the first and second quarters in 2004, in press releases. The third section is my estimate of how many paging units remained in service at mid-year 2004. The fourth section is the Metrocall estimate of the 2003 market size from their December 3, 2003 Investor Presentation1. The fifth section is the Metrocall estimate for the total US market at its peak in 1999 and was taken from the same Investor Presentation.
Parity with cellphones happened at somewhere around 40 million subscribers. The CTIA web site, at this writing, reports “170,485,622 Current US Wireless Subscribers” (cellphones). So then, cellphones surpassed Pagers at about 40 million. Paging continued to grow for a short time, and peaked at about 45 million in 1999. Cellphone growth then accelerated to its current 170.4 million subscribers. Public Paging lost about 35 million subscribers from its peak in 1999—to the present—and continues to drop at an alarming rate. I estimate the attrition has been about one million users so far this year.
