Samsung Demonstrates 330Mbs WiMax 2


Samsung demonstrated 330 Mbps downloads using the yet to be finalized WiMax 2 standard at the currently underway CEATEC IT and electronics tradeshow in Japan.

Using a trail network that it setup in collaboration with Japanese ISP UQ Communications, Samsung is streaming full-HD 3D videos and 16 Full-HD videos on 4 LFD (Large Format Display) TVs at the same time.

The currently implemented standard of WiMax is 802.16e. In the US, Clearwire has a network based on the standard and the company leases its infrastructure to ISPs such as Sprint, Comcast and Time-Warner Cable.

Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile plan to use LTE technology for their 4G networks which they plan to roll out over the next two years.

WiMax 2 is based on the 802.16m standard that is expected to be finalized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in November 2010. It will deliver peak throughputs of more than 300 Mbps in a 20 MHz channel and average downloads of 100 Mbps, while being backward compatible with 802.16e.

Like the 802.16e standard, WiMax will cover 31 square mile per access point.

Certification of WiMax 2 devices will occur throughout 2011, and ISPS will start commercially deploying the standard in 2012.

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers Katy Perry continues working with the producers of GHD hair dryers and GHD hair care products: the singer once again demonstrated her luxurious hair in a fresh advertising campaign – this time she had the image of a diva from “the golden Hollywood” era (the pop-diva had already had the image of a hippie, a disco girl, and a mermaid). Luxurious dresses, bright makeup and a small portion of theatricality – one can immediately see that she is a star! The shooting was run by Ellen von Unwerth, who preferred to focus on restrained sensuality and the interplay of tones rather than on bright colors (the latter are always excessive with Katy) and presented black-and-white portraits of Perry to the public. The girl really looks perfect in the pictures : whether she is playing chess, recovering after a tiring concert or just getting ready to appear on stage. But whose merit is this: that of the photographer, the heroine, or maybe Photoshop?
