Happy Belated Birthday to the transistor

Yesterday exactly sixty years ago, on Dec. 16, 1947, three Bell Laboratories physicists in Murray Hill, N.J., built the world's first transistor. They were William Brattain, William Shockley, and John Bardeen

Next year the 61st birthday party is going to be at my place :)

Too bad Bell Labs or these chaps never made a cent off the transistor

picoChip Delivers Industry's First Single-Chip WiMAX Wave 2 and IO-MIMO Femtocell Reference Design
Posted: 19-Nov-2007 [Source: picoChip]

[picoChip intros the PC6532 WiMAX femtocell basestation reference design supporting Wave 2 and full IO-MIMO.]

Tokyo -- picoChip announced today the PC6532 Wave 2 femtocell, the next version of its industry-standard WiMAX basestation reference design. Femtocell access points are optimized for deployment inside buildings to improve coverage and data rates. The new PC6532 WiMAX femtocell is the industry's only single-chip (PHY + MAC) reference design to support WiMAX Wave 2 and full IO-MIMO in both downlink and uplink.

Like its predecessor, the Wave 1 PC6530, the new reference design integrates full PHY and MAC into a single picoArray-based PC205 processor. The PC6532 offers the lowest cost solution for a complete WiMAX Wave 2 femtocell, with seamless software upgrade for existing picoChip PC6530 Wave 1 designs.

The PC6532 supports Wave 2 and full IO-MIMO, with Matrix A and Matrix B downlink, and both MRC and UL-CSM uplink. Wave 2 is the latest version of the WiMAX standard, adding increased support for mobility, while MIMO (Multi Input Multi Output) increases data-rate and reliability by simultaneously sending and receiving data via multiple antennas.

"Once more, picoChip demonstrates the power of its software-defined architecture, and we are delighted to be working as partners," commented Paul Senior, CTO of Airspan. "The efficiency of the single-chip solution is attractive, furthermore the ability to seamlessly upgrade our current Wave 1 designs to Wave 2 and full MIMO in both uplink and downlink, gives us a significant advance in performance and capability over alternative solutions."

The picoChip WiMAX architecture is scaleable from femtocell access points to sophisticated multi-sector carrier macrocells with full support for IO-MIMO and beamforming. Both reference designs run on a single processor: the PC205 integrates an ARM processor for MAC functionality, and picoArray multi-core DSP for software defined PHY.

Stuart Carlaw of ABI Research, added, "It is clear that femtocells are an essential part of operator strategy going forward. Carriers are making it clear that this is even more true for WiMAX and LTE than it is for older standards. picoChip is a leading provider of femtocell chips and this announcement reinforces its extremely strong position."

"The problem of good in-building coverage, and the opportunity for femtocells to address it, is becoming increasingly widely recognised," commented Simon Saunders, Chairman of the Femto Forum. "With use of 2.5GHz and the business case for ubiquitous high-speed data this is even more important for WiMAX. The Femto Forum seeks to promote femtocells across all technologies and we are delighted our members are supporting these air-interfaces."

The PC6532 is based on picoChip's industry-standard WiMAX platform that has demonstrated the widest range of interoperability with third-party terminals through active participation at the WiMAX Forum Public Mobile WiMAX Plugfest for Interoperability events. AT4 Wireless (formerly known as CETECOM) is the WiMAX Forum's approved testing authority for the certification of WiMAX products and uses the picoChip WiMAX reference design as the core in its protocol conformance tester.

The PC6530 Wave 1 WiMAX reference design is available now and has already passed IOT testing. The seamless software upgrade to the PC6532 Wave 2 WiMAX femtocell reference design will be available in Q2 2008.

Google Picks N.C. for $600 Million Data Center, Up to 210 Jobs
Google's home page

Posted: Jan 19, 2007
Raleigh -- Google will build a data center in Lenoir, investing up to $600 million and creating as many as 210 jobs, Gov. Mike Easley announced Friday.

The search engine giant picked the Caldwell County site to help support its international operations. The facility will include a massive "server farm" designed to host and provide access to information Google gathers from around the world, stores and makes available.

State and local officials offered a variety of incentives to land the facility, including a Job Development Investment Grant of more than $4 million.

The win was not cheap. Google also will receive a variety of other incentives that are expected to push the package past $100 million. Caldwell County and the City of Lenoir have granted Google a 100 percent waiver on business property taxes and an 80 percent waiver on real estate property taxes over the next 30 years.

The Lenoir center would join a growing empire of Google locations. "We have data centers around the world, but do not disclose the specific number," Barry Schnitt, a Google spokesperson, said.

Newly formed culturally based, creative, business and entertainment industry incubator reveals plan to open its doors in Michigan.

Local Technology and Communications Entrepreneur gives back to the State in compliance to Granholm's Cool-Cities initiative and then some.

DETROIT, MI- The Initiative known by a select few as I.M.E.C.A. or the Incubator for Music, Entertainment and Cultural Arts is holding its first ever press conference on Monday March 14, 2005 at 6 p.m. inside the East Tower of Detroit's prestigious Masonic Temple.

It is an open invite to all, to come and learn about the initiatives goals, tour the space, and get involved.

Zing CEO, Tolly Marcus and I.M.E.C.A Founder says that "we are giving away 100 initial memberships after the press conference."

New members and supporters will receive memberships via a free I-Ring that has a Dallas Semiconductor RFID micro chip in it.

After renovations of the Building located at 434 Temple Ave, IMECA members will use their rings to gain access to the various parts of the building and will be able to access the accounting database that will allow members to financially transact to purchase food, beverage and various planned services or with each other by simply scanning their ring over a sensor that is tied into the buildings soon to be modernized accounting and billing system.

The I.M.E.C.A. Project will be housed in the 13 story building formerly operated by the charitable Shriners organization that relocated to Oakland County over a year ago. The plans for the building include 4 or more stories of new office space for start up entertainment and technology related businesses. The building will also house hotel style
suites for traveling dignitaries and artists alike, a new fine dining restaurant, as well as a mid range restaurant and martini bar.

Memberships will also include access to a full service day spa and work out area. The project also has already begun operating a new nightclub in the lower Sub levels of tower. Plans also include various common and private recreation areas made available for premium members.

Other planned services will include a "think lab" cyber style cafe in the mezzanine of the 5th floor and will offer various courses including martial arts, computer programming, network security and penetration testing curriculum as well offer related remote access and distance learning programs.

Marcus says another interesting fact about the project is that Zing LLC http://www.getzing.com) one of Marcus's other companies is going to provide I.M.E.C.A's lease tenants with both direct fiber as well as multi band Internet and Voice services as an amenity of their leases. Marcus states that, "this aspect of the project alone is compelling in the sense that the biggest overhead costs that new start up business face, is the cost of their office space and their communication services, in the case of I.M.E.C.A. wéve solved that problem for them ahead of time, by giving them access to some of the most power tools available.

We are now actively seeking out young and middle aged people with vision to join our ranks. Marcus also states that I.M.E.C.A intends to create a new economic development model that could be
replicated thought out the State and the United States of America as a whole.

Phase one for the project has almost been completed, phase two will include attracting an architect to begin the plans to
redesign of the interior of the historic building to the I.M.E.C.Ás technologically advanced specifications.

"With the eyes of the world rapidly approaching their focus onto the city of Detroit, I think it is with due and timely
manor for projects of this type to take off and spread their wings, says John Perez Director of Operations for the
I.M.E.C.A group.

US WiMAX operator raises $US1 billion: but it's mobile WiMAX PDF Print E-mail
By Stuart Corner
Tuesday, 10 July 2007
Investors in the US have demonstrated their faith in WiMAX, providing a $US1 billion loan facility to Clearwire which is planning to rollout a nationwide WiMAX network, but it will be mobile WiMAX not the fixed WiMAX that Opel intends to use.

Related stories
Clearwire was founded in 2003 by US cellular network pioneer, Craig McCaw, who sold McCaw Cellular to AT&T in 1994 for $US11.5 billion. Clearwie started out using a proprietary WiMAX-like technology and is reported to have around 200,000 US subscribers, mostly in small cities.

Backed by Intel and Motorola (which pumped in $US900 in equity in July 2006) Clearwire is proposing to move to mobile WiMAX and in May this year acquired all the 2.5GHz wireless broadband spectrum in the US previously owned or controlled by AT&T and the former BellSouth.

The company said at the time that "With this acquisition and assuming closing of other pending spectrum purchases, Clearwire's US spectrum holdings...[cover] an estimated 223 million people with varying depths of spectrum." With spectrum in Europe, covering approximately 199 million people, Clearwire claims to hold "one of the world's largest portfolios of next-generation wireless broadband spectrum in the frequency bands identified by the mobile WiMAX standard."

The company went public in March 2007 at which time Frost & Sullivan US analyst Gerry Purdy, was quoted saying: "If anybody can succeed at doing it, McCaw probably has the right technology, the right management team, and has got partners in the form of Intel and Motorola...You get a sense that this [mobile] WiMAX thing is probably real, it's important, and you've got a company that knows how to do this.
