I am looking for a smartwatch to be used as a standalone(I want to ditch my smartphone and only use smartwatch). So I need to be able to make calls only by the smartwatch. I red all the stuff in Mavovi's website and didn't understand a bit. My Tele Company is Telenor and they support e-sim.They are also the first to offer TickWatch, but its only the GPS version and not the LTE one. So if I order Ticwatch 3 LTE from Amazon would it work with Telenor ?
At present, the United States is approximately 15% covered by 5G services. However, T-Mobile, the fastest growing and most eager to implement 5G technology, is looking to cover more than 90% of the US within the next ten years. They've proven this by adding thousands of new sites nationwide with no slowing down in site.
The primary manufacturer of their 5G antennas and radio equipment is ERICSSON ($ERIC$), a Swedish telecommunications technology company.
Ericsson is an international company that researches, develops, and produces cutting-edge technology for the largest telecommunications companies in the world. They specialize in Macro sites, sites that cover a large area. Think large cell phone tower or antennas on a rooftop. Ericsson, Samsung, and Huawei dominate the competition in this field, but only Ericsson has the future in mind.
5G technology, unlike LTE, 4G, and 3G, requires more frequent sites because the wavelength of higher frequency radio waves travel a shorter distance. I pulled this from google to make more sense of my point: "The shorter wavelength means 5G can carry a lot of data much faster than 4G, but it also means a much shorter range. 4G wavelengths have a range of about 10 miles. 5G wavelengths have a range of about 1,000 feet, not even 2% of 4G's range."
With that said, Ericsson is shifting research and development into a small cell infrastructure. Instead of a giant tower with massive 8' long antennas, think of a router size device that is 5G ready. This technology will cover factories, events, tight city blocks where radio signals cannot penetrate, and other niche areas of the same concept. Moreover, they can provide 5G service in places their competitors cannot.
They are the leaders, if not the innovators of this space. Ericsson's upside is that they invested billions of dollars in the past and are thriving now because of it. In addition, Ericsson has a proven track record of innovation and quality that is unmatched.
Lastly, Huawei is sketchy, and Samsung's technology is dog water.
Buy Ericsson stock with me, and I'll meet you on the moon.
New description project by Lite Access Technologies Inc.
The $10-million, 120-kilometre fibre-optic line runs from Playmor Junction to north of Nakusp.
The job has been broken up among several companies. The prime contractor for the rail trail underground work is Axis Technical Services. Lite Access Technologies is handling the pole section of the project (between Hills and Nakusp), with fibre-optic cable being hung sometime in July, depending on when Telus completes its preparation work.
The Slocan Valley line is only half the project, with the CBBC planning to build a fibre-optic backbone between Jaffray and Roosville in the East Kootenay, as well.

Trying to read up on the working of LTE and testing different functionalities, and have a few questions:
- IMS is a part of the LTE which enables accessing data while call is being made, but does the disabling of IMS affect the voice call in any way?
- IMS sends packets over IP. Does that mean it's using cellular data to transfer the packets? And if so, doesn't that mean your data usage is being consumed ever during calling which sounds odd to me from an operator's perspective
- What's the main reason behind the CS fallback i.e LTE switching to 3G while voice call is being made? When the VoLTE feature is disabled?
- MBN contains IMS parameter that could be enabled/disabled. Is the MBN for a relevant operator based on the SIM needed to be enabled/activated for 3G?
- I see "IMS voice over PS session in S1 mode" in the logs.
- What does
Voice over PS sessionreally mean, and how's that related to IMS? Is it Packet switching session? (basis of VoLTE) - What is S1 mode?Sorry I've been having trouble finding abbreviations given there are way too many in networking
- What does
Did T-Mobile keep any of Sprint's Rural LTE Partners?
SouthernLINC Wireless; nTelos Wireless; C Spire Wireless; Nex-Tech Wireless; Flat Wireless; SI Wireless (MobileNation); Inland Cellular; Illinois Valley Cellular; Carolina West Wireless; James Valley Telecommunications; VTel Wireless; Phoenix Wireless; Bluegrass Cellular; Blue Wireless; Pine Belt Wireless; Pioneer Cellular; Public Service Wireless; Syringa Wireless; and United Wireless.
What about the Rural Independent Network Alliance?
STRATA Networks; Silver Star Wireless; All West Wireless Inc.; NNTC; Snake River Personal Communications Service; CTC Telecom Inc.; South Central Communications Inc.; Custer Telephone
And T-Mobile purchased the last remaining Sprint Affiliates, are there any remaining?

The Idea:
I was wondering about installing hotspots out "in the field" which is a term or phrase of art used primarily by Telecommunications companies and other industries, meaning "out somewhere in the world" - even in a literal field.
My plan is to pick locations and install a Helium hotspot without having an internet landline or power source to connect to.
You could either install it in a ditch, on a roof using a drone, or even hang it over the top of a tree with a thin string attached that can be tied to the tree, and then released to bring the hotspot down to the ground. Ideas are endless :)
The only way this is achievable is with a few requirements:
- RAK Hotspot Miner as it is based off a Raspi 4b and is easily modified
- Raspi 4b UPS Hat for LiOn/LiPo batteries w/ connector
- SleepyPi Hat for deep sleep mode until battery recharge (if sun out > 3 days)
- 3G/4G/LTE Hat for sending Helium data out (as well as a lo-jack signal)
- Battery capacity for 24-72 hours (calculations discussed below)
- Solar panel (40W-60W) to charge battery in up to 10 hours of sunlight with auto-turn-on
- Internet w/ 30GB minimum data plan as discussed here: ISP Bandwidth requirements? : HeliumNetwork (reddit.com)
- (Optional) External antenna for Raspi
- (Optional) GPS Hat for Raspi
The Concerns:
Our first concern is modifying the Raspi 4 system to add in related source code to the RAK Hotspot miner. We can assume it is possible and leave that up to me. I am sure there is a way if not to get root access, to at least install a script (with physical access) onto the device that would bootstrap off of an existing boot script and auto install at the next boot. Leave the Linux wizardry to me :P
Of course the modified hotspot may not fit within the original RAK miner case, in which case you can just design / buy your own case. You also might want an IP67 (waterproof) case. Why not if were heavily modding it already?
Our next concern would be the battery. You will need at least 48 hours runtime to cover those two day overcast weekends that occur now and then. In terms of size, here is how I calculated my approximate needs for 48h and 72h of runtime:
- I have between 9 hours (minimum) and 15 hours (maximum) of sunlight. I plan for the minimum amount of sun to be on the safe side, so I use 9 or 10 hours in my calculations. Use a sunlight estimation tool to
I didn’t expect 5G to have great coverage yet but I thought it would at least be semi-usable
I have the iPhone 12 mini and I realized 5G drains more battery and it’s usually not faster than LTE
Sometimes it doesn’t even connect and only LTE works
Anyone else just turn off their 5G in general?
I think I’ll need to wait 3-4 years before 5G is actually useful
In Suriname that is Telesur. Which at the same time is just the biggest telecommunications provider in Suriname; from landline to ADSL. Digicel is a close second, especially after they also bought over Uniqa. Uniqa was a daughter company of UTS from Curaçao; UTS is also available in the other Dutch Caribbean islands, including French St. Martin, except Aruba.
If a company in Suriname wants to offer internet services, they'll still have to go through Telesur, because they own all the landlines and internet lines in Suriname. They also own, together with Guyana and Fr. Guiana, the sea cables connecting us to the world. So even Digicel isn't exempt form putting up a fully autonomous system independent from Telesur. This has given Telesur a monopoly in Suriname especially in home internet and landline services. They also offer mobile services in the Netherlands (mostly for our diaspora there).
Digicel is their only competitor, but they are also slow at adapting to new technology. Whereas in the past they were a pioneer and forced Telesur to invest in their infrastructure. Nowadays Telesur is the trendsetter, they launched 4G LTE in July 2019, while Digicel just last year december. In November 2019 Telesur launched their 5G network, which was also the first company in the Caribbean to do so.
What's the largest mobile carrier, internet service provider and other telecommunications services provider in your country?
It says 911 dispatchers but do Telecommunicators count? I passed my Criticall exam (YAY!) and secured an interview for a couple weeks from now.
The position is Telecommunicator for state police.
Is there a difference? Any tips for the interview??
I'm so excited but anxious!
TIA!!
I inherited a Granite Telecommunications account. The services themselves worked (provided by someone else) but holy moly are they the most dishonest company I can possibly imagine. From inventing contracts that don't exist and terms of service that nobody can find copies of to Early Termination Fees that were never agreed to. Oh and trying to charge for equipment that their own invoices show was purchased outright.
If you're thinking of doing business with them... DON'T!! If you already do, god help you if you ever want to leave.
I've dealt with AT&T (wireline and wireless), Verizon Wireless, Charter/Spectrum, TW Telecom, Century Link. All broken in some way but they look like a well-oiled machine compared to Granite.
We made a interactive website with writings and films inspired by the history of the internet and telecommunications in Ireland, hope people enjoy:
https://i.redd.it/kuh01sao6t671.gif
Quick question: what are the differences between the two? is it possible to work/acquire skills on both industry?
TIA
Captain tweeted about how telecommunications, encryption, etc. go together.
My guess is that they are creating a way for Safemoon to be traded and managed via text instead of needing an app and internet data.
Data coverage is spotty and expensive in developing countries. Many reply solely on texts to communicate and transact.
If the Safemoon team is creating a way for it to be sent and managed securely via text, it could open the doors for adoption in Gambia.
