07.29.04 - 07.30.04 Wireless Priority
/ Zetron |
AT&T Wireless announced today that it has signed
a contract to provide Wireless Priority Service (WPS),
which helps national security officials, emergency
responders, and those in critical infrastructure industries
communicate during times of emergency.
WPS works by giving a limited number of government-authorized
wireless phone users priority access to the wireless
network. If wireless network capacity is strained
during an emergency, the authorized users’ emergency
calls are the first to go through. In essence, these
calls are moved to the “front of the line” so that
they may be completed using the next available wireless
channel.

Occasionally we receive equipment requests and though
NotePage's software will work with anyone, we have
a great relationship with Zetron. If you are in need
of in-house paging terminal consider zetron.

07.27.04 - 07.28.04 Add SMS to Existing
Applications |
NotePage has a very flexible integration program
that allows developers or customers to SMS messaging
or paging to existing applications. The integration
rarely requires any coding changes as alerts can be
passed to NotePage's software via a commandline/ASCII
interface. The integration program is free to participate
in and the benefits are numerous. We make every effort
to promote our partners through our network of 60
ancillary web sites. If you are interested in adding
SMS to an existing application please contact
us.
Information on NotePage's integration program can

07.23.04 - 07.24.04 Building Control
Systems |
Many building control systems including Honeywell,
Andover Controls, and Novar Controls can use PageGate
to send building alerts to pagers and cell phones.
Even the older legacy building control systems, can
be easily integrated to send alerts. The additional
notification increases the maintenance department's
response times, and the building's overall health
and functionality.

07.21.04 - 07.22.04 Cell Phone Detector |
A team of secondary-school students in New Zealand
has created a mobile phone detector for a business
competition at their school, St. Thomas of Canterbury
College in Christchurch. The device, which the students
named CellTrac-r, can detect radio signals that cell
phones use when transmitting or receiving either calls
or text messages. When activity is detected, the device
illuminates a series of lights that indicate that
activity and how far it is from the detector, which
can monitor distances up to 30 meters. Similar devices
are currently available from electronics makers, but
the one developed by the students is significantly
less expensive than those available today. The students
have sold all 20 of the first batch they made, for
NZ$39.95. Linda Roberts of the University of Canterbury
said she plans to test the devices during university
exams at the end of the year in an effort to prevent
students' cheating with cell phones. "People could
be texting away in an exam of 400 people and it would
be hard to detect," said Roberts. The devices will
also be tested in a local prison to detect unauthorized
cell-phone usage within the prison. BBC, 20 July 2004

Qualcomm Inc. successfully tested an in-cabin voice
communications system using CDMA mobile phones, the
company announced Thursday. Passengers, including
reporters and government representatives, were able
to place and receive phone calls and text messages
during the proof-of-concept demonstration on board
a two-hour American Airlines flight out of Dallas/Fort
Worth International Airport. The system uses an in-cabin
third-generation “picocell” network and an air-to-ground
Globalstar satellite link to provide CDMA service.

07.02.04 - 07.04.04 Recycling Cell Phones |
Recycling
Cell Phones - What many don't realize is that
in many cases, the materials used to construct cell
phones are toxic. Toxic elements found in many of
today's cell phones can include arsenic, in semi-conductors
and lead in the solder material. While the materials
in a single phone are minimal consider the number
of discarded cell phones in the relatively short time
the technology has been available. The placement of
these devices in landfills will cause long lasting
damage and harm to the environment.
