Reliable Connectivity Reducing Operation Costs in Underserved Regions
Technologies empower businesses operating in underserved regions to perform at optimal standards with increased effectiveness remaining operationally lean, flexible and responsive. As a result, innovative new technologies such as unified communications, cloud and big data, reduce overall costs for organizations and create a lasting impact. However, in order for technologies to drive these results it […]
This Past Winter, WireIE not only Survived, but Thrived
The Canadian winter of 2013-14 made for some harsh conditions throughout the country. Between the never-ending snowfalls and the ice storm in Ontario, we knew we were in for a challenge. Not only did WireIE survive this winter, we thrived. To the harsh conditions we say: bring it on. WireIE prides itself on being an […]
Metcalfe’s Law and the Value of Rural Networks
In 1965 an observation was made by David House that over the history of computing hardware, the processing power of a minimal cost computer chip would double approximately every two years – Moore’s Law. While the impact of that forecast has been widely accepted and credited with significant advances in technology and associated economic benefits, […]
The Shift to Microwave Broadband Is Coming Sooner than You Think
The tide is shifting on acceptance and adoption of microwave radio as a viable alternative or supplement to fibre and economics may dictate more of the same. For many in the telecommunications industry the recognition of microwave as a viable alternative to fibre to create carrier grade bandwidth with industry leading latency is not old […]
Smart Grid in Ontario – A Great Positive Step
On June 8, 2012, the Government of Ontario took the next step in their Clean Energy Economic Development Strategy, with the release of the Clean Energy Institute (CEI). The new institute will bring together industry leaders and utility companies to build on Ontario’s strengths in smart grid technologies and other clean energy innovations. In conjunction […]
Fiber and Wire Roadblocks: How Microwave can Help
The typical forms of voice and data transport for Carrier Ethernet Services are fiber and copper. While both provide connectivity in access networks, fiber is favoured for its prolific capacity, and copper is most widely used in environments with an existing telephone network . However, there are times when physical, geographical, legal, political or financial […]
Microwave and Carrier Ethernet: Separating Fact from Fiction
If you want to cause a stir, walk into a room full of seasoned technicians and mention microwave. Citing the twin fears of limited capacity and weather-dependent performance, many will offer stories of past problems without realizing that, like many other things in life, microwave has moved on. The Future is not the Past The […]
Optimizing Economies of Scale in DTV Transmission Systems
The global digitization of over-the-air broadcast television presents an unprecedented opportunity for networks to realize capital and operational cost efficiencies at the transmitter site. In this report, just released by WireIE, we explore a DVB-T multimarket solution where STL/backhaul costs are greatly reduced in comparison to equivalent analogue systems. The report also looks at the […]
Network Architecture Considerations for Smart Grid
Most would agree that the traditional centralized electrical distribution model will evolve to a distributed generation (DG) model. When this occurs, and to what degree remains to be seen. Regardless, a smart grid communications infrastructure is essential in the safe, reliable and efficient management of a DG infrastructure. For the past couple of years, WireIE […]
