data traffic continues to grow need LTE

data traffic

Ericsson through the Traffic and Market Report, released in June 2012 revealed that mobile data traffic continues to grow. To meet the higher data requirements, needed renewal of technology, such as LTE (Long Term Evolution).

Power requirements are also to be driving a lot more presence of new technologies such as EDGE to WCDMA, until that is currently a hot topic in Indonesia, LTE.

"With better technology, the service will be better and it will support higher data traffic. Technology must be improved to get more coverage and capacity," says VP of Marketing and Communication Hardyana Syintawati Ericsson Indonesia, as quoted from okezone.

What's more, says Hardyana, when the difference was and technology needs are also different. "In the past, no Facebook, the data only for YM (Yahoo Messenger). But it comes up a lot of social media, like Facebook and email will certainly further increase of data traffic," she explained.

Therefore, the presence of LTE later in Indonesia is expected to provide data network capacity to meet the wider needs of high data. "In technology, using other technologies such as LTE can add capacity to deal with a surge online data communication. What's interesting about the LTE (Long Term Evolution) can exist anywhere, it's flexible technology," she said.

"Because flexible, there are many options for (Long Term Evolution) LTE frequencies such as 700MHz, 1800 MHz or 2.3 GHz," she said.

Smart Grid technology the power system

smart grid

Indonesia Indonesia began to implement a power smart grid technology is a technology that operates the power system by combining computer technology, communications and networking. For Indonesia, this technology was first applied in Southwest Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara.

"Given the energy derived from fossil (fuel) will be exhausted in 2025. It is time for Indonesia to develop renewable energy such as solar power, water and wind. Therefore I strongly support the creation of demo Plant Micro Smart Grid," said Minister of Research and Technology, Gusti Muhammad Hatta.

Professors of Mangkurat University, said that "Plant Micro Smart Grid" is a new approach and the first in Indonesia to operate the power system that utilizes communications technology, computer, and cyber. Smart Grid which has been inaugurated by the backed techno ministry good variety of advanced technology electronic equipment and tools of information and communication technologies (ICTs).

"The initiative of the BPPT (Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology) is nice and the first in Indonesia. Because through the demo "Plant Micro Smart Grid" is able to integrate and manage the utilization of various renewable energy power plants either solar, wind, hydro, biomass and diesel ," Gusti said, as quoted from vivanews.

Meanwhile, the head of BPPT Marzan A Iskandar said the smart grid is a new approach. "Implementation of Smart Grid technology will provide greater benefits because the amount of renewable generation and distributed storage units and integrated increases, efficiency increases, operating expenses decreased, increased reliability and decreased CO2 emissions. And may this be a model that integrates solar energy, micro hydro, and diesel generator is intended to reduce the use of diesel fuel that is widely used in remote areas like the Southwest Sumba," Marzan said.

According to the United States Energy Board, "smart grid" is a class of technologies used for electricity delivery system in the 21st century, using a computer-based controllers and machines. This technology connects power-plants of various kinds to the consumer either home or business. Two-way communication-based technology has been used in other industries, but only 21 centuries before it is implemented in the electricity industry.

White Space technology as Super Wifi

Super Wifi

Actually, infrastructure is a major challenge in the development of broadband in various countries. However, now found a solution to connect broadband across the region with a White Space technology, 802.11aF.

Technology which is also called the Super Wifi utilizes empty spectrum space that is in line TV broadcasts.

"Broadband is the oxygen for economy digital. For broadband it is very important," said Daniel Reed, vice president of the Technology Policy Group Microsoft, the discussion in the House Technology Policy Council of the Press.

white space technology

White Space technology is capable of detecting the blank space that is not used by broadcast TV, but use the spectrum. "If at any time, the spectrum requested by the owner, then the system can detect and then returned to their owners," added Tony Seno Hartono, National Technology Officer of Microsoft.

Tony said that the White Space is able to detect and take advantage of low frequency between 50 to 700 MHz which allows the use to rural areas with access to a wider range of wifi.
"This coverage can be up to 3 km. If Wi-Fi at only 100 meters away," he said.

To that he said this could be a solution to the development of broadband, rather than using Wimax is still fairly expensive. "It could be an alternative for rural internet," he said.

This technology can also be used in urban environments, considering the low frequency, he added, it can penetrate walls and buildings.

White Space technology still Discourse
Although quite helpful for the development of broadband, this technology still can not be realized. This is due to the spectrum is owned by the respective institutions.

Tony agrees this. But Microsoft will see if there are regulations related to the concept.

"It is necessary first clay regulations. In Europe and America is already known, that here was a discourse," he said.

Several large technology companies, including Microsoft, British Telecom, Nokia, Samsung, BBC intense experimented this technology in Cambridge, United Kingdom. The company is already anticipating the next trend that every device will be more connected.
