T-mobile research mobile data stream

According to T-mobile, the average customer uses over 44 mb of data each month using the 3G-network. Due to this increase, which is rapidly growing, the telecomprovider needs to upgrade their network capacities soon.

With this change, not only is shown the technological progress, but also that people use their mobile phones for more than just checking their e-mails. With increases data-use, comes increased speed. The speed increase allows for more and other data to function properly on your mobile phone. It will only be a matter of time, until working really begins when you walk out the door.

Phoning, mailing, using applications like word, excel, sending and recieving movies and even mobile board meetings. You literally will be able to take your office with you anywhere over the world.

Flyfire: The 3D experience

MIT-labs has developped a technology with which display-screens become three dimensional. They use a technology with little helicopters carrying a LED-light. These helicopters have a self-organising system and can be controlled from a distance. When this technology is more developped, it will become the so-called smart dust.

It is only a matter of time before businesses will use this technology to advertise alongside buildings and windows. Maybe, even the computerscreens and mobile cellphone screens will become made of this material and just float alongside with you throughout the building or even the world. A technology with a lot of potential, that is for sure.

1 Gbps fiber to the Netherlands

Reggefiber will be installing a optical glass fiber in their network in the Netherlands before the end of this year. Due to this network watching television symmetrical to internet will be possible. Also for companies this is a big progress. They will be able to easily share video-material and larger files along their intranets and extranets with these speeds. Due to these speeds even connections with area pops/hubs wirelessly will be profitable, because these speeds will also increase with the new hardware build around these new fibers.
