JunOSphere

One of the main concerns with Juniper certification and training was how to find access to equipment.When Juniper introduced JunOSphere the cost for 1 month was around 1600USD and I believe you had to pay the whole amount at once and use the routers within the same month (?),however, now you can purchase a small day sessions for just 50$/day and using it whenever you want.  Check the Juniper website for more information. I will try to buy a session and provide more feedback about that. So far, good job Juniper.

Android G1 - more battery

The biggest problem with G1 is the battery so lets try with different one. I just ordered it. This Innocell extended battery provides more than double the capacity of the standard battery. Even with heavy phone and data usage, this battery will keep your G1 charged and ready to go.   - 2600mAh - Up to 125% more capacity than the original - Includes a replacement door with our soft-touch "rubberized" texture to improve grip - High quality Japanese cells - Extends the depth of your device by only 5mm - Pair it  with our  Horizontal Innocase Leather  for extra protections on the go ** *All battery claims are dependent upon usage patterns, network configuration and many other factors; actual results will vary. ** This 2600mAh Extended Battery is not compatible with Seidio Spring Clip holster. http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BACY26TMG1-BK

Velocity1 and BBC

We've got few visits from BBC to show up our 100Mbit/s service called Boost. It's a pretty good marketing idea and good for the people who are using file sharing and HD streaming applications (like cisco video conference systems) etc.  BBC did few tests described in the link bellow - the first test was with iPlayer (BBC application) and iTunnes apperantly they weren't happy with the iTunnes because it was showing 10mins to get the movie so we had to explain to them that we don't have control on 3th party servers and the idea behind the garantee of some capacity is that we have the promissed bandwidht to our uplink providers and after that we don't have any control.  They also did another "Web based speed test" which showed 78Mbit/s downlink and 50Mbit/s uplink BUT most of these web based speed tests are based on the average broadband connectivity in UK. 100Mbps broadband - who needs it? -------------------------------------------------- source: http://www....

Optical chip could lead to terabit Ethernet

Danish and Australian researchers have  developed a chip  that efficiently reads 640Gbps optical transmissions and could help pave the way to terabit Ethernet. The breakthrough comes not on the laser end of the connection by boosting the speed of transmission, but rather at the receiving end where very high speed, error-free reception is required to sort out multiple wavelengths of signals that have been multiplexed at the sending end. The discovery comes just as  100Gbps Ethernet  is in its infancy but predicted to become more common over the next three years. The new receiver technology described in an article to be published Feb. 16 in the journal  Optical Express  relies on a 5 cm optical waveguide, a dramatic reduction in size over competing technology that requires 50 meters of special optical fiber and is inherently unstable, according to the Optical Society of America The researchers say the compact size of their waveguide makes it possible to integrate it with other components...
