INTEL

"Handygespräche bald gratis"

Die Handy-Rechnung wird bald der Vergangenheit angehören, meint Intel-Präsident Paul Otellini. Für die Netzbetreiber sieht er ein neues lukratives Feld, so dass die reinen Gespräche bald gar nichts mehr kosten dürften.

Neue, leistungsfähige Prozessoren würden dies ermöglichen: "Nach der Computerindustrie und der Konsumelektronik ist die Digitaltechnik gerade dabei, auch den Kommunikationssektor umzuwälzen."

Bessere Handy-Chips und Internet-Telefonie

Neuartige Mikroprozessor-Chips, so Otellini, würden die Rechenleistung von Handys schon vom nächsten Jahr an verhundertfachen; Mobilfunk-Kunden könnten schon bald eine Vielzahl von verschiedenen Funknetzen wie UMTS, Wireless LAN oder Wimax nutzen. Zunehmend würden Mobiltelefonate auch drahtlos über das Internet abgewickelt.

Der Informationsaustasch der gesamten Weltgesellschaft werde auf das Internet verlagert, so Otellini. Schwere Zeiten kommen nach seiner Einschätzung auf Netzanbieter wie Vodafone zu, die bislang ganz auf die bisherige Mobilfunktechnik setzten.

Die besten Chancen würden künftig Anbieter haben, die ihren Kunden "einen reibungslosen Wechsel zwischen verschiedenen Funktechniken erlauben". Konzerne, die auch im Festnetzgeschäft aktiv sind, seien besser aufgestellt, weil die Kunden zuhause etwa ihren eigenen WLAN-Zugang zum Festnetz nuten könnten.



Ich erlaube mir diesen Satz hervor zu heben:

"Die besten Chancen würden künftig Anbieter haben, die ihren Kunden "einen reibungslosen Wechsel zwischen verschiedenen Funktechniken erlauben"."

Und mal wieder ein kleines update ....

Australian firm achieves military VoIP/SDR breakthrough

Melbourne telecommunications company Military SDR Technologies Pty Ltd, has achieved a significant breakthrough by demonstrating successfully Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) termination at a mobile wireless base-station. Military SDR Technologies in December terminated a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) call utilizing a VoIP core network over the company`s proprietary SpectruCell multiple protocol Software Defined Radio (SDR). This was the first time in the world this had been achieved.

"This is an important step forward in the commercialization of the SpectruCell technology," commented Kevin Graham, CEO and Director of International Business Development for Military SDR Technologies. "Many network operators worldwide are migrating their conventional fixed core networks to an IP architecture for cost saving reasons. This is the first wireless base-station with Voice-Over-IP ability, eliminating the need for conventional network infrastructure such as fibre optic, wire and cable, between base stations. A Voice-Over-IP SpectruCell base station can seamlessly sit on any existing Internet network."

The SpectruCell technology has significant applications in future defence communications projects as JP2072 - Battlespace Communications System (Land) and Sea 1442 - Maritime Communications and Information Management Architecture Modernisation, Brown told ADM. The company has briefed a number of potential JP2072 Prime Systems Integrators (PSIs) on its capabilities, he added.

The company also has a close affiliation with a California-based electronics company, Military Communications Technologies Inc, which has an equity share in Military SDR Technologies and will market SpectruCell and other Australian-developed telecommunications technologies in the US and elsewhere. Roger May, Chairman of Military Communications Technologies said, "This significant technology milestone reached by our Australian affiliate further enhances SpectruCell and makes it all the more attractive to the North American-based defense and commercial telcos we have been in discussions with. We believe that SpectruCell`s VoIP functionality is a key selling point in an industry that is increasingly turning to VoIP to meet its infrastructure upgrade needs."

Military SDR`s Melbourne-based engineering team has extended the functionality of SpectruCell`s software-defined CDMA base-station application by including a VoIP codec in the base-station. This allows a commercial IS95 (CDMA) handset to establish a phone call to a VoIP-equipped base-station. The engineering team delivered this milestone as demonstration of the dynamic flexibility of the SpectruCell middleware to add and control new software modules and to establish new data/voice channels without the need for major re-engineering of the software application or hardware platform. The original VoIP functionality was first demonstrated in January 2003.

Currently, network providers are beginning the migration to 3G high-speed data networks. The number and concentration of cell sites required increases dramatically to 3 to 4 times the number of cells required for a current mobile network architecture. A major hurdle in roll out these new 3G networks has been the issue of how to connect all of these new base stations to the rest of the network with conventional fibre/wire infrastructure.

Military SDR Technologies` breakthrough shows that it is now possible to terminate data and voice connections directly to a base-station via VoIP. Many major network operators worldwide have recognized the flexibility and cost savings of a core IP network and are redeploying their conventional core infrastructure in this fashion. The implantation of VOIP in the SpectruCell suite of technologies brings this cost effective and flexible VoIP migration into the mobile wireless network realm for the first time.

Into Thin Air
Thursday April 8, 6:33 pm ET
By Scott Woolley Quentin Hardy
Phone calls now flit over Wi-Fi networks at little or no cost to the callers. It is the story of the telecom industry--hundreds of billions of dollars are evaporating into the ether.


When doctors at San Antonio Community Hospital bark orders into their new wireless phones, sensitive medical information will travel not over the phone system but via a Wi-Fi network--technology originally designed to link laptops to the Internet. It seems a risky move: Sending phone calls over Internet-style networks has long been the province of techies who could put up with mediocre quality and uncertain security.
Yet the administrators at the Upland, Calif. hospital have concluded the newest generation of Wi-Fi (stands for "wireless fidelity") phones is so reliable and secure that it can be trusted with confidential patient information and critical medical instructions. Using the system, which goes live this month, doctors will be able to call from stairwells and other crannies where cell phones and regular cordless phones fail. Fancy features will let nurses instantly locate empty beds and admit patients from the waiting room. What`s more, because phone calls ride on board the hospital`s own wireless network, there will be no monthly phone bills from cellular carriers.

The new technology at San Antonio Community Hospital heralds a telecom future that is both brilliant and bleak: fantastic devices and free services for consumers, disappearing dollars for telecom companies and their long-suffering investors. A similar cycle began in the late 1990s when phone calls traveling between distant cities and continents began hitching cheap rides on Internet-style networks built for data. By 2000, after fiber-optic cables whittled the price of carrying a call to just about zero and new competitors flooded the market, the long-distance industry had peaked and begun a steep slide. It has since seen a third of its annual revenue vanish in four years--$35 billion, poof!--and the future is grim.

Now the same kind of destruction, courtesy of the omnivorous Internet, is engulfing the local phone monopolies and even threatens the cell phone industry. It promises to transform the phone system with new competition, plunging prices and a passel of new features. This next wave begins with "Voice over IP," which means zapping phone calls over the Internet (or private networks built like the Internet). It continues with "Voice over Wi-Fi," Wi-Fi being a free wireless on-ramp to the Net. It appears so unstoppable that even the old Baby Bells and cellular carriers have accepted it. Now they are about to accelerate the migration, launching a multibillion-dollar rebuilding binge to overhaul their old networks and offer cut-rate Net phone service. This, of course, will speed the demise of their mainstay business of voice traffic. But they don`t have any choice.

"If you don`t do it, next year or the one after that you won`t be playing in the game," says Qwest Chief Executive Richard C. Notebaert, who shocked the industry last fall by announcing plans for Qwest to become the first regional Bell company to offer cheap Internet-based phone service. "The voice industry--whether long distance, local or wireless--finds itself in a commodity market with deflationary pricing," he says bluntly. "Volumes will rise, but prices will fall even faster."

Qwest (NYSE:Q - News), the local phone company in 14 western states served by the former US West, has set an initial $40 million network rebuild to make its local phone system Internet Protocol (IP) ready. It will provide less-than-flawless Internet-based local phone service on a network that costs one-seventh to one-eighth as much to run as Qwest`s old system. Notebaert concedes the service will start out essentially underbidding his existing business, but by the fall he hopes Qwest can use the Net to invade rival companies` states, breaching the barriers that have long divided the industry into cozy, monopolistic chunks. He also admits the new service won`t be as good as the old phone system, which was famously guaranteed to work 99.999% of the time. But neither is cellular.

"Customers say: ‘I`ve learned something from wireless. I`m willing to trade off 99.999% reliability for price and features" such as mobility, free long distance and free call-waiting, says Notebaert, a veteran industry executive who started out 35 years ago at the original AT&T (NYSE:T - News) monopoly`s local Bell in Wisconsin. He adds that "my only regret is that we should have been listening more carefully" and started offering IP service sooner.

Since Qwest`s move, most of the big telcos have announced plans to offer competitive local phone service via broadband Internet connections. Local Goliaths (Verizon (NYSE:VZ - News) and SBC (NYSE:SBC - News)) jumped in, as did cable companies (Time Warner (NYSE:TWX - News)) and long-distance competitors (MCI and Sprint (NYSE:FON - News)). AT&T has moved the fastest. It publicly committed to the technology in December and by March was offering homeowners in New Jersey and Texas unlimited local and long-distance calling using the Internet, for $20 a month for the first six months. The price will rise to $40 a month thereafter--still 25% less than the price of AT&T`s equivalent traditional phone service plan. That sets a discount target for more brazen rivals. It could precipitate the local phone industry`s first-ever price war.

This new round of turmoil follows a few years of unprecedented upheaval. In four years $1.7 trillion in value has disappeared from telecom stocks. Bondholders have taken another $103 billion wallop, according to Fitch Ratings, as some companies went bust and others were seen to be less than gilt-edged. WorldCom by itself defaulted on $26 billion in bondholder net worth. Which prompts the question: Will investors get stuck yet again?

"Our business models will have to change; we have to rethink our network." says Vinton G. Cerf, who helped build the original Internet and is now the head of technology strategy at MCI. That means giving up the century-old idea that selling phone service is a sustainable business. "The things the telecom industry sells may become an adjunct to what`s on the Internet," Cerf says.

Until now the local phone monopolies largely enjoyed a competition-free existence, even after the feds moved in 1996 to free their grip on local service. The Federal Communications Commission instituted labyrinthine regulations aimed at cracking open the local monopolies by forcing the Bells to lease their lines to rivals at government-dictated prices. Despite such "competition" local prices rose 17% in the next six years, slightly outpacing inflation during a period in which, elsewhere in telecom, prices plunged.

Carriers hope to survive by focusing on selling snazzy new services such as a "do not disturb" feature that blocks certain callers at certain times of the day, ten-way conference calls and the ability to have a Manhattan area code while living in Wisconsin. Anything, Notebaert says, to help telcos move beyond the doomed business of "pots"--plain old telephone service.

The numbers for Net-phone service now are deceptively small, numbering no more than 1% of total lines. But that could soar to 27% of phone users worldwide by 2008, according to the Probe Group, an industry research firm. A parallel: Wi-Fi started out as a grassroots "free spectrum" movement with roughly 250,000 home users in 2000. Last year American home users bought 12.7 million Wi-Fi transmitters for their computers, says research firm In-Stat/MDR.

That poses a ready audience for a second major threat confronting big carriers: Voice over Wi-Fi, which lets callers use free airwaves to gain wireless access to the Internet. A home or office Wi-Fi network for a laptop`s wireless Internet access provides a ready-made pathway for Wi-Fi-enabled phones. Voice over Wi-Fi threatens to steal traffic from the cellular business (with $88 billion in annual revenue in the U.S.), already a harshly competitive world where per-minute prices have fallen by half in the last three years.

Few users now have Wi-Fi phones, since currently the phones only work in places like San Antonio Community Hospital that have thorough Wi-Fi coverage. (Leave the hospital, the phone stops working.) But major equipment makers have unveiled upcoming Voice over Wi-Fi products aimed at making them practical for average consumers. Motorola, Avaya and Proxim have teamed up to build a cell phone that, when it senses an available Wi-Fi network, will silently switch to the free option, saving costly cellular minutes.

Nokia has the same vision. Recently it unveiled its Wi-Fi-compatible cell phone. In a few years every regular cell phone could have the ability to use a Wi-Fi network whenever one is available, says Kevin Duffy, who oversees research at Proxim.

Going yet another step, phone-calling ability is migrating to regular laptop computers. Callers will be able to use their laptop`s microphone, or a plugged-in earpiece, whenever they are in a Wi-Fi zone. No phone is necessary. Just a bit further down the road: new "Wi-Max" networks that act just like Wi-Fi but cover distances of a mile or more instead of just a few hundred feet.

Such developments could raise questions about the real future value of, say, AT&T Wireless, which just got acquired by Cingular (owned by SBC and BellSouth) for $41 billion in cash. But to techies like Duffy it makes obvious sense to take advantage of the growing power and ubiquity of digital networks, wired and wireless alike. Most such networks are being built to improve Internet access and need relatively minor tweaks to carry phone traffic as well. So why not throw phone calls on them, too, and save a few hundred billion? "Voice over Wi-Fi, starting in the office and spreading to the home, is an inevitability," Duffy vows. "The only question is the time line."

The rest of the telecom industry, however, seems to be in denial of the coming cataclysm. Fears that phone traffic will migrate to cheap networks are grossly overblown, according to the Telecommunications Industry Association, a leading trade group. It forecasts that revenue has hit bottom in the U.S. in every single category of the phone business, from local to toll calls to wireless.

But if Notebaert is right and the $2.1 trillion global communications industry is slowly drained of its core voice business, the ultimate effects will benefit the economy profoundly. The switch is like the move from sailing ships to steam power in the 19th century, argues David Isenberg, who wrote a seminal 1997 paper describing why decentralized "stupid" networks like the Internet would subsume the "smart" phone network. "Sure the Internet is going to kill the phone business," Isenberg says. "But let`s cheer, not wring our hands."

That seems to be the attitude of FCC Chairman Michael Powell. "I believe that IP-based services such as [Voice over Internet] should evolve in a regulation-free zone," he said at a recent hearing on the subject, even as he noted that such a fundamental change in technology makes incumbent telcos understandably nervous.

In Japan, using the Internet as a way around traditional phone companies already is common. Softbank provides phone service over its broadband DSL lines to 3.7 million Japanese homes and businesses. In the U.S. a company called Vonage was one of the first to test the market for Net-phone service, launching in 2002. It now has more than 100,000 residential customers, who pay as little as $17 a month, including taxes. Most new corporate phone systems are IP-ready, according to Gartner. IBM will reportedly move 80% of its 300,000 workers to IP phones within four years.

In a world of Net phones, local monopolies and duopolies will no longer exist; Internet consumers will have every telco in the country competing to win their business. "You can now deliver service without owning the connection to the customer, and that is probably in the end the most important change," says Hassan Ahmed, chief executive of Sonus Networks, a leading maker of Voice over Internet gear.

Qwest`s Notebaert is going out of his way to make it possible for his old local customers to switch to a different phone provider. Qwest will sell "naked DSL," meaning a phone line that is used only as a high-speed Internet connection. That way a Qwest DSL customer will have a full choice of Internet phone companies. Verizon and SBC don`t have an equivalent offer. But Notebaert says trying to lock customers in will only send them running to cable rivals for phone service and Internet access.

As voice revenue fades, carriers must use the same cheap networks to sell a bundle of other services instead. AT&T has a new ad campaign dubbing itself "the world`s networking company," selling its ability to host Web sites, manage corporate networks and offer other on-demand information technology services. MCI is doing much the same. So is Savvis Communications, which just bought the assets of Cable & Wireless. Like Notebaert, Savvis Chief Executive Robert McCormick is optimistic about selling cheap services, even as he warns investors that the industry must shrink: "The whole pie is going down--by a lot. There is just a tremendous amount of dollars out there to be squeezed out, still."

The problem may be that too many companies, weak and strong, all have the same idea. The industry badly needs to consolidate, says Carl Grivner, chief executive of XO Communications, which sells phone and Internet service to businesses, and which is a year out of a bankruptcy that wiped out $4.5 billion in debt. "I don`t think the industry is well structured to move forward," he worries.

To cope with revenue declines Verizon has cut 57,000 employees in the past three years (22% of its work force), Qwest 20,000 (30%) and AT&T 23,000 (27%). Even some growing cell phone companies have recently cut back. Sprint PCS cut 2,300 workers last year, despite adding 2.6 million subscribers. Huzzah for consumers, bad news for owners of stocks and bonds.

IRVINE, Calif. , May 18, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Military Communications Technologies Inc. (OTC BB:MLTA.OB - News), announced today that its Australian affiliate, Military SDR Technologies Pty Ltd, had completed a name change to Global SDR Technologies Pty Ltd. The change was made due to commercial considerations in regard to the increased operations in the non-military field currently being undertaken by the Company in the Asian marketplace.

Additional Equity -- Australian Affiliate

In addition the Board of Directors approved the acquisition of an additional equity in its Australian affiliate, Global SDR Technologies Pty Ltd (GSDRT). Global SDR Technologies Pty Ltd holds certain rights and licenses to the SpectruCell and PC4 Software Defined Radio wireless base station technology.

The transaction increases MLTA`s equity to 20% effective from 1st May 2004. Consideration for the additional 5% equity is on a similar basis to the original acquisition from Global Investment Fund. Full details will be filed with the SEC upon completion of all documentation later this month.

Proposed Purchase of Controlling interest in Global SDR Technologies

The Board of Directors also resolved to commission an evaluation to establish a financially sound basis that would enable MLTA to acquire a controlling equity interest (51%) in GSDRT. Any such transaction would be subject to the availability of an appropriate funding proposal that would yield sufficient funds to fuel the expanded growth of the global operations of the SpectruCell & PC4 enterprise now requires as a result of recent activity in the Asian marketplace.

GSDRT recently achieved two important milestones, the successful demonstration of key elements of its SpectruCell(TM) development platform to a South Korean customer and a signed agreement to enter into a joint venture arrangement for the manufacturing and marketing of SpectruCell(TM) in China, including funding of the venture in the Chinese marketplace.

The Chairman Roger May commented, ``Accelerated progress and interest in regard to discussion by GSDRT involving North American based chip manufacturers and defense contractors regarding adoption of the commercial and military software defined radio technology has given added impetus to our decision to increase our shareholding in the Australian based IP company,`` said Mr. May.
