When it comes to Small to Medium Business (SMB) technology needs, there should be no single point of failure, and there should be only one source for technology needs. Technology is not now, and has never been a cost; it has always been an investment, but business owners do not tend to see it that way. Instead, business owners consider telephone systems a cost in business taking away from the bottom line.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology in the small business sector is an investment, but it is not generally understood as such because of the failure to perceive the opportunities that “business necessities” can present. VoIP technology is not about saving money on long distance charges, but this was how salespeople first convinced buyers to explore this new communications technology and the idea stuck.

Profit from Cost

Green technology is a collection of technologies that reduce the amount of energy needed to run systems and supply the energy that we use on a daily basis. When you combine green technology with open Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based VoIP technology, the result is a significant opportunity to profit from business operations. This is achieved through the utilization of advanced voice technologies with open SIP standards and leveraging VoIP for voice needs.

In short, you start with an old fashion office phone system and end up with a 21st century communications and voice technology that seamlessly integrates and serves all your voice and communication needs. By speeding up the process of collaboration and communications integration, communicating with your customer base, clients, vendors, service providers, or internally with operations is a seamless and fluid process, saving time, money and assisting any organization’s bottom line.

We live in a fast changing world where new technologies emerge every now and then. Speed is of great concern to people in the 21st century and so scientists and engineers are constantly trying to explore new ways of faster information transmission, the information being either voice or data. This effort resulted in inventions of technologies like 2G, GPRS, Wi-Fi, Broadband, T1 etc. Also, the usage of mobile phones has changed, people no longer view a cell phone as a device meant for only talking or texting and it is rather expected to provide access to internet and other application that one would find in a PC. Activities like video streaming, watching movies and playing online games on the cell phone are very popular which make companies to invest in their R & D and come with networks that can better support these demands of the consumers. This is why 3G and 4G were introduced in the mobile communications market. They were introduced only in 2010 and in fact, many countries are yet to accept them. Thus, in 3G vs 4G, which one is better, is something we will find out in due course.

What does 3G stand for?

3G is the short form for 3rd Generation Mobile Telecommunications. It is a wireless communication technology that was developed to enable faster transmission of information. It’s expected to provide consistent speed of at least 144 kb per seconds. Some of the features associated with it are live video streaming, better quality video calls, faster internet connectivity etc. It has been popular so far in most of the countries like US, Japan, China and India, and in the US, various tests have observed that it is able to deliver the kind of services that were promised by the mobile operators, when it was introduced. It was first introduced in Japan by NTT Docomo and then Verizon brought it to the US market in 2010.

What is 4G?

There is actually no official definition of 4G; few companies claim to provide faster and better network than existing ones, however officially they are just upgraded versions of 3G. Those claiming to be 4G networks will have to pass the test of time and prove that they are able to deliver what they are claiming; only then their authenticity will be verified. Read more…

One of the new technology gadgets anticipations is the Apple iPhone 5 which is rumored to have face recognition and a 64 GB memory. This is a cool phone which is expected to be more user-friendly while maximizing the level of security. Sure it was rumoured to appear in the last few months, in line with normal one-year space between new launches, but Apple is not in a hurry to get it to market as the iPhone 4 is doing just fine in sales. But now new rumours are pointing towards a late 2011 official release.

The iPhone 5 is said to support video chatting, GPS navigation and as usual it will allow users to sync it with their iTunes the same as other tech gadgets. The screen will be scratch protected and which is more, users will be able to watch local television channels. This might even give way for users being able to subscribe to cable channels if any service for iPhone is available. This will be one of the best gadgets so far, never mind the best smartphone.

One of the features of the new iPhone is its PICO projector (rumoured) which will allow presentations to be projected on to a flat surface or a wall. This is good for people who buy movies and cannot carry their humongous television. They can just play their favorite movie and projected on to the wall for better sharing. The projector is useful for school projects or for business meetings. Plus why get a large Plasma TV when you can use that projector to turn each wall into a small cinema. Don’t expect stellar performance, but at night you can get decent images out of the iPhone 5. Read more…
