Telecommunication Business and Power Protection

As already obvious, telecommunication business is a service business in where the availability is the most important. People tend to demand that the service is always available when they need. Based on my experience, it is hard to sell the telecommunication service if the availability is low. As example, for mobile service, it will be hard to be sold if the coverage is very low which means the availability is very limited.

With above example, it should be already obvious that the availability is the number one it telecommunication business. Therefore, the power protection become very important. It is a big sin if the telecommunication service is down because of the power failure in core hardware. You may think that as long as have the reliable UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), the power problem has already solved.

You are very wrong if think like that. UPS alone is not the best answer in term of power failure solution. There is still possibility that the UPS will be fail to protect the telecommunication hardware power. It means needed the special power protection to overcome this situation. There are many power protection technology out there which can be used as telecommunication power protection system.

However, since it is very critical, I suggest to be careful when choose the power protection technology and system. POWERVAR might a good option as power protection provider. Since always focus in the best power protection, I believe that POWERVAR will have the right answer to protect the telecommunication business from power failure. It is said that the POWERVAR offers the complete power protection system which can surely offer full power protection for telecommunication hardware.

The POWERVAR's power protection reliability has been shown by WEEE certification. WEEE certification tells us that POWERVAR's power protection system has fulfilled the needs of power protection in global standard which means by having it, the telecommunication business has been protected from power failure in strong way. So, in here, POWERVAR has provided one aspect of high availability (if cannot say the 100% availability) for telecommunication business.

Effective Data Service Marketing via Exhibition Booth

These days, Telecommunications is all about data service in my opinion. It is not the era in where a telecommunication companies can survive just by voice and SMS service anymore. At least, telecommunication companies should offer some interesting VAS (Value Added Service) contents if want to survive in the fierce competition with other telecommunication companies. Beside the interesting VAS contents, telecommunication companies can also offer the data service as a way to survive.

Data Service refers to any IP based related services such as VPN, Internet, Cloud Computing, and many more. Since many telecommunication companies has aware about this situation, the competition is already high in data service field. Therefore the effective marketing method is a must to attract the new customers so the data service can generate the significant additional (if not main) revenue for telecommunication companies.

Based on my experience, one effective marketing method is the interesting booth in telecommunication or Computing related Exhibition. I am sure that telecommunication companies can effectively sell their data service vie Exhibition as long as can create an interesting Exhibition Booth. And fortunately, it is not a difficult one to have an interesting Exhibition Booth. We only need to combine the good trade shows displays with interesting truss, and logo floor mats.

From the combination above, it is surely the telecommunication companies can effectively market their data service since has a good and an interesting exhibit booths which will attract many new potential customers during the telecommunication or computing related exhibition. So, if you are the boss (or at least the commanding line), you should tell your marketing team to join the local exhibition but of course, it is not only to join but to join with a good preparation for effective marketing so can produce a good selling during the exhibition.

The Mobile Telecommunication Terms Part III

In this Mobile era, we, as users, surely need to understand the Mobile Telecommunication terms so can get optimum benefit from our cellphones, smartphones, or Tablet PC. I have shared several mobile telecommunication terms on The Mobile Telecommunication Terms Part I and The Mobile Telecommunication Terms Part II article. This time is the last part of this Mobile telecommunication terms post series.

In my opinion, It should be already enough to get optimum benefit from mobile telecommunication by knowing the terms on these post series. OK, here the rest of mobile telecommunication terms that need to be knew:

Long Term Evolution (LTE)

LTE refers to next step mobile technology of 3G and 3.5 G technology. Yeah, LTE can be said as product of 3G and 3.5 G advance development. LTE download speed is up-to 100 Mbps while the upload speed is up-to 50 Mbps. LTE is the best choice for the GSM based mobile carriers since only need minimum investment to move from GSM networks to LTE networks.

Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS)

UMTS is one of 3G technologies which is developed toward 4G technology. Usually, UMTS gadgets also supports GSM so can operate on dual mode GSM-UMTS. UMTS is developed on Europe and officially announces at 2004.

Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) 2000-1x

CDMA 2000-1x refers to a CDMA based data service of 2G technology. This CDMA 2000-1x is based on IMT-2000 (International Telecommunication Union-200) standardization. CDMA 2000-1x speed is up-to 144 Kbps which is faster than GSM 2G's data service, GPRS.

Airtime

Airtime refers to the call duration that do on mobile networks. Airtime is calculated from call success until close the call connection. The mobile cost is usually calculated based on this Airtime.

Base Transceiver Station (BTS)

BTS is a radio station that server the access networks to mobile telecommunication's customers. It can be said that BTS is interface between customers and carriers. Usually, one mobile gadget is handled by three BTS in active-standby mode so if one BTS is fail to serve, the other will take over. It means a smooth connection experience for users. BTS capacity that determine the speed of mobile data access. It means that the 2G, 3G, and 4G technology is based on this BTS technology indeed.

Repeater

Repeater is refers to an electronic devices that can receive the BTS signal and then re-transmit it without changing anything beside the signal power. Yes, Repeater increase the weak received BTS signal into the acceptable level for mobile gadgets. Repeater usually use on the high building crowded area to avoid the blank spot.

Cell ID

Cell ID is a unique identity that used to know BTS information which includes the BTS's location. It is true that the Cell ID's location determination is less accurate (since the area is to wide) but it is already enough to determine the current location of mobile gadgets in general.
