Fiber Optic Transmission System Helps Protect Wonders of the Ancient World in Egypt

Fiber Optic Transmission solutions from VOSCOM are protecting some of the greatest monuments of the ancient world at the Giza Plateau on the Nile River, near Cairo, Egypt. Fiber Optic Transmission Systems from VOSCOM enable  signal transmission from more than 100 video cameras in a surveillance system that watches the perimeter of the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx and other archaeological treasures.

Recently, the Egyptian government determined a need to increase the level of protection of the celebrated historical sites by installing a video surveillance system around the entire perimeter of the Giza Plateau. The goal was to create a system able to view any area of the plateau complex from a single control room facility. Egyptian government engineers evaluated system requirements for several months before choosing VOSCOM to provide signal transmission from cameras located around the Giza site. VOSCOM fiber optic transmitter solutions are operating in the harsh desert conditions, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Egyptian government has been so satisfied with their performance; VOSCOM is the first choice for all new projects of significant importance in Egypt.

“The value of these ancient treasures is beyond measure, so we are very pleased the Egyptian government trusts the effectiveness and dependability of VOSCOM fiber optic converter solutions to play a critical role in protecting them,” said Jacky Wu, President and CTO of VOSCOM. “We continue to work on other high-profile projects in Egypt using VOSCOM transmission solutions and look forward to announcing them in the future.”

“With priceless artifacts to protect, the Egyptian government had to pay special attention when developing the system design,” said the project’s integrator. “Only the most reliable equipment offering the highest performance would even be considered for use in the system. The robust, dependable transmission solutions from VOSCOM were determined to be perfect for the needs of such a challenging application and environment when so much is at stake.”

The intersection of Beijing time and will it be before dawn April 29 news, apple camp in will it be first quarter 2011 year charge and net profit exceed Microsoft, this is another great breakthrough of an apple since the dawn of human civilization too.

Over the past three quarters, the camp of Microsoft harvested and is slightly lower than apples, has been occupying the advantage all the time in net profit. But this advantage is surmounted by the apple at present.

The wealth newspaper in season of newest wealth that Microsoft releases on Thursday reveals, by the third wealth season on March 31, 2011, Microsoft camp charges for 16,428 million dollars, increases by 13 percentage points compared with the same period of last year; It is 5,709 million dollars to run profits, increase by 10 percentage points compared with the same period of last year; The net profit is 5,232 million dollars, increase by 31 percentage points than 4 billion dollars in the same period of last year.

The wealth newspaper that and the apple is released before this reveals, by the second wealth season on March 26, 2011, the camp of the apple charges for 24,670 million dollars, heighten 82.7 percentage points more than 13,500 million dollars in the same period of last year; It is 7,874 million dollars to run profits, exceed 3,979 million dollars in the same period of last year far too; The net profit is up to 5,990 million dollars, relatively 3 billion dollars in the same period of last year rise violently by 99.5 percentage points.

Microsoft CFO Peter and Clean (Peter Klein) Show in a statement: “Though the market environment of the PC is confused at present, we still submit the powerful financial achievement, this demonstrates efforts and broadness of the company. Consumers will continue selecting to purchase Office 2010, Xbox and Kinect actively, the enterprises of different scale will be continuing purchasing operating platform and application software of Microsoft. ”

The key factor that the apple surmounts Microsoft is Mac computer and hot sales of iPhone cell-phone, the former’s camp accepted to rise by 28 percentage points, and the latter’s camp accepts and rises violently by 113 percentage points especially. And enterprise’s department of corresponding period (responsible for Office product development and sale) Camp last 21 piece percentage point,charge to rise server and tool the camps of department of Microsoft only by 11 percentage point compared with the same period of last year.

Microsoft’s most powerful growth comes from its apparatus group of amusement, electronic game machine Xbox 360 and sensing game apparatus Kinect which this group introduced, though product these endure dispute to the fullest extent, spur camp its, charge, increase by 60 percentage points compared with the same period of last year with strength in the past one years.

Microsoft shows in a statement: “Windows 7 still sells the most quick operating system since the dawn of human civilization, has already sold 350 million sets up until now. ” But this statement has in practice accepted and presented gliding compared with the same period of last year in order to conceal the intersection of Microsoft and core department camp of door. Windows and Windows Live department in season of this wealth (responsible for development and sale of the Windows series products) Camp charge only 4,445 million dollar,is it less than the same period of last year to want by 4,650 million dollars.

Because the influence which the apple iPad dull and stereotyped computer puts out, the sale of the PC has glided by a wide margin; The intersection of PC and reduction of demand lead to the fact Windows product unsalable directly too. This makes the apple have an opportunity to seize the chance to surmount Microsoft through the fact that he is long that this disappear too, become the qualified in scientific and technological industry overlord at one blow.

Many people would love to discern the secret on stopping snoring while sleeping. Snoring is an issue that has affected thousands and thousands of households worldwide. It has even gotten so terrible for some couples that they have to actually sleep in separate rooms at night. So the question that is raised is how to stop snoring at night. Well, snoring is caused when the back of your mouth, jaw and tongue relax and cave in to the back of your throat thus restricting the airflow through your lungs. The restricted airway is what causes the snoring noises people hear while you are sleeping. So how do you stop the muscles in the back of your mouth and tongue from relaxing too much and preventing the airway to your lungs, thus causing snoring? The first device that can help you to stop snoring is to use a Stop Snoring Chin Strap. When it comes to using a Stop Snoring Chin Strap to inhibit snoring, here is what some researchers have found. Snoring study has revealed that a Jaw Supporter (Stop Snoring Chin Strap), which can be worn during sleep time, can keep the lower jaw in a forward position, thus increasing the three dimensional space in the airway tube which reduces air velocity and soft tissue vibration. How does that help you? Well, with your jaw in a forward position, the airway which would have earlier been closed while sleeping will now be open and thus eliminating or reducing your snoring at night. A second product that you may want to look into is a Stop Snoring Mouthpiece. A Stop Snoring Mouthpiece also sustains your jaw from moving backwards and moves it upward clearing the air passage as you sleep thus eliminating or reducing snoring. No matter what options you choose to help you stop snoring, the main concept is that you want to have a device that will keep you jaw in a forward position while you sleep. As was talked about previous, this will give you maximum airflow through you mouth and lungs which will in turn help you stop snoring.

No matter what type of gear they are purchasing, today’s broadcaster is looking for the best price and performance in order to do more with limited resources. Products like our CopperHead transceiver fully support this strategy by allowing broadcasters to use (less expensive) field camcorders—with their ever-increasing image quality optics and signal processing—in the studio, without compromising their on-air product.

With its extensive signal support, the CopperHead allows users to make the most of their ENG-style cameras by bringing all of the traditional functionality of a studio camera—camera control, intercom, Tally, etc—to a camcorder; at a lower cost. And because it is sending signals over fiber, the camera can be located much further away from the control room or news production truck on site in the field. This opens up a variety of possibilities.

Today, most camera manufactures sell “studio conversion kits,” but they all have limitations when compared to the CopperHead. Some use bundles of ungainly copper cable, not fiber, while others use fragile 26-pin multicore cable or custom cables made of coax and fiber shrink-wrapped together that are limited in distance, cost more, and, again, don’t give you as much functionality.

The CopperHead uses a single industry-standard fiber-optic cable to replace a bundle of up to 16 separate wires. This includes seven video coax cables, plus one CAT-5 (Ethernet) cable, a data (camera control) cable, five audio cables, and two Tally connections (red and green). Of those seven video signal paths, we use two to send HD video each way, one to send genlock information to the camera, one to send composite (program) video back from the camera to the control room (or mobile production truck on site) one for TelePrompTer information, and one for time code.

In addition, you can also “iso record” footage in the camcorder (for recording redundancy and post-production use later), which you can’t do with a studio-type camera without expensive iso recorders for each camera in the control room. 

So you can see how easy it can be to set up a field camera in the studio (or as part of a multi-camera fly-pack system) and enjoy all of the “high-end” features you need to produce a first-class project using the CopperHead on the back.

Of course, not every production project needs all of this functionality, but with the CopperHead it’s nice to know you have the capability to do it if required. And making the investment in the CopperHead now future-proofs your field cameras for several years and lets you get the most use out of them.

In addition, most CopperHead systems are camera-agnostic, so if you upgrade to newer cameras at a later date, your existing CopperHeads will probably work with them, as well. 

So I’m suggesting that, instead of using dedicated hard cameras for multicamera productions, save yourself a bit of money, buy a top-quality field camera and a CopperHead, and use it in as many ways as you can imagine. To do the same thing with coaxial cable, you’re faced with a huge bundle of cables and signals that can’t travel as far. 

The key to fast return on investment with most technology is flexibility. Telecast Fiber Systems is offering that in the Copperhead, as well as the sensible option to purchase high-quality electronics for a lower cost. Leveraging fiber optics makes it a reality.

According to a newly published report by market research firm Dell’Oro Group, first quarter 2010 GPON  equipment revenues from both optical line terminals and optical networking terminals surpassed EPON revenues for the first time and hit a record level, growing almost 40 percent sequentially and 70 percent over the year ago period.

“GPON growth in the first quarter was largely due to deployments in China,” said Tam Dell’Oro, president of Dell’Oro Group. “China Unicom and China Telecom are deploying both EPON and GPON. China Mobile, which was recently granted permission to deploy broadband and for which GPON is its preferred technology, also contributed to first quarter GPON growth. Other sizeable GPON shipments in the first quarter included those to Korea, Malaysia, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, the UAE, and the US.”

The report shows that Huawei maintained its lead for GPON revenue largely due to being a primary supplier in the China market. Next was Alcatel-Lucent and Voscom, which narrowed the gap with Huawei due to growth of its ONT shipments to North America and EMEA.

Rounding out the top four were Motorola followed closely by Ericsson, which doubled its share mainly due to growth in GPON shipments to China.
