Spectrum For Wireless Broadband : Old Media Vs New Media

If you were implementing a low-cost wireless network that had to cover a very large area and support only a few users, the use of 802.11g technology would be a very good option. 11g technology operates at the 2.4Ghz range which allows for access points to provide signals up to 300 feet. The 2.4GHz signal also has lower rates of signal loss from obstructions. This means that a fewer number of AP's would need to be purchased for complete are coverage. Also, by providing throughput of up 54Mbps it could easily support bandwidth needs of multiple users who require minimal bandwidth. This would be the case of a warehouse or large department store where the applications would not place major demands on network resources.

This report is meant to advise Mr. Van Hanebanker and his partners on my recommendation in regards to investing in Wind Mobile. A decision must be made regarding this investment before the spectrum auction in April. This spectrum auction is crucial to Wind Mobile growing in the wireless industry in Canada. The wireless industry in Canada presents a unique opportunity for investment due to the oligopolistic structure and market breakdown. Currently, there are three major players in the industry and there is extensive room for growth and development as an industry and for Wind Mobile itself to gain significant market share. Some of the factors I will consider over the course of this analysis and recommendation include: the wireless communication industry in Canada, growth and competition in the industry and growth of Wind Mobile, and Canada’s current economic state. Within these brackets, assessments of the average revenue per user, the growth in subscribers and other indicators of Wind’s performance will be analyzed. They will be compared to industry standards and may demonstrate how Wind compares with the “Big 3” firms, who benefit from aspects such as economies of scale. I believe my assessment will give Mr. Van Hanebanker a good overall idea of the pros and cons, and considerations he and his colleagues need to consider when making their final decision.

The Canadian cellular service’s industry is comprised of approximately 15 cellular providers. These operators employ approximately 16,000 individuals and generate more than CAN$10B in revenues annually, which represents almost 30 percent of the Canadian telecommunications market. The Canadian wireless industry has been experiencing an annual growth rate three times that of any other Canadian telecommunications sector. This is very significant as Canada is in the top 10% in the world for broadband penetration.

You are the systems administrator contracted by Leonard Cooper to upgrade the local area network to meet the ever-increasing needs of the building's students and faculty members. Your first task is to interview key stakeholders to determine what the key areas of concern are.

Currently billions of mobile devices are connected to wireless networks and by the year 2020 when the massive arrival of 5G to the market is expected to be four times higher. This paper aims to analyze the advances in communication for these networks that will be present in all types of portable devices and personal use in addition to computers. It evaluates the progress for aspects of communication and ability to transfer data and information through new wireless networks. The benefits and improvements in communication and performance in different devices for 5G networks are evaluated; this 5G of wireless networks promises an excellent performance in the exchange of personal, business and institutional data, also this paper

There is a wide range of communications technology that is used by the Public Services. Every Public Service uses some form of technological equipment as it is vital to carry out their duties effectively and efficiently. Depending on what job they are required to do, they will use different types of technological equipment. Communications technology being, The Police National Computer, Roaming network, Radios, Cormorant digital voice, Local Area Network and Satellite communications.

During the debriefings of the Spectrum Reallocation meetings Mr. Champness attended, governance of the interagency group was always a central topic of concern for me and I continued to express my concern and disagreement with the

The public opinion was largely positive, as consumers saw the benefit in the improvement of services. The chairman of ACMA, Richard Bean (Johnston, 2017), explained the benefits of the auction: “This additional spectrum will help industry meet ever-increasing demand for high-speed wireless broadband. The public has realized record rates of return from the sale, and should now benefit from the services this 700 MHz spectrum can provide”. In contrast, a common negative opinion argues that spreading spectrum too thin across multiple mobile service companies results in worse network coverage due to too much competition and not enough investments in infrastructure (Sharwood, 2016).

The wireless industry is an interesting potential investment opportunity worth further consideration because Canada is well positioned to meet strong demands for wireless technologies. Canada’s competitive advantage includes network readiness, wireless innovation, favourable corporate income tax and superior quality of life. In order for transformations and new competitions to be made possible, the investments on wireless technology will enable mobile service providers such as Wind Mobile to deliver sustained growth in the industry.

In fact, mobile radios has become such a key tool in all business communications that one of the FCC’s major challenges is ensuring efficient and effective use of the radio spectrum by business, while guaranteeing the reliability and interoperability of all public safety radio uses. In finding a way to make this all work, the FCC helps make America a safer and better place to

Radio One would benefit from the acquisition in the sense that its size would be doubled and its national platform be built, its revenue increase significantly, and having the possibility to go through planned expansion into

Owners stood to gain from purchasing of stations until the government started to regulate ownership and ruled that there were no owners. This was a loss for many radio station owners, as much of their investment was on the line. In 1996 when the FCC eliminated the restrictions, owners stood to gain, allowing the cost of purchasing a station to drop and remain about even since.

Convergence, according to our text on page 19, is the process of coming together or uniting in a common interest or focus. This could be the combining of multiple products into one single product, but in the world of mass media there are two main communication and media processes; content and distribution. Our text, The Dynamics of Mass Communication, talks about what is called corporate convergence. Author Joseph Dominick says corporate convergence would involve media companies that were focused on providing content (movie. television and music studios) acquiring companies designed to distribute content (cable and satellite companies).

The consolidations have made Spectrum even more successful in generating income and the even triggered the chance of being more influential than the producer of the products. Thus the decision was very successful because it made Spectrum more competitive and stronger with its business operations in North
