EVDO?

Currently, I'm involved in this project too.

What is EVDO? Just the Basics:

>EV-DO - Evolution Data Optimized

>Personal broadband wireless service for a wide range of customers, from business people to students

>Always on - - similar to DSL (wherever 3G capability is available)

>Rides on CDMA signal- 1x data capability available everywhere CDMA voice service available

>Up to 10 times the peak data rate of the next best public wireless solution - 800 - 1,000 Kbps (kilobits per second) average download speeds, comparable to DSL speeds

>Allows the user to be connected wherever they are are not only for email, but for downloads, large files, photos, spreadsheets, etc.

>Advantages over WiFi:
>>Always on with seamless roaming!
>>Signal can travel on same cell sites as cell phones
>>No 300-ft range from the cell tower or "hotspot"
>>Customers can access their corporate VPN (virtual private network) anywhere they can get a cellular signal via a secure, encrypted signal
>>Can download and run video clips in real time
>>Can provide service to customers outside of cable-modem or DSL areas

>Relatively low cost with high capacity - allows rich web browsing and application usage

>1xRTT: 50Kbps - 100Kbps Upload and Download (bursts to 144Kbps)

>EVDO Rev 0: 400kbps-1000kbps Download (bursts up to 2.0Mbps), 50kbps-100kbps Upload (bursts to 144Kbps)

>EVDO Rev A: 600Kbps-1,400Kbps Download (bursts to 3.1Mbps), 500Kbps-800Kbps Upload (bursts to 1.8Mbps)

IPVPN access via VSAT

Hi to all

Long time no updates. Currently I'm involved designing VSAT as alternative access to IPVPN network. There are two VSATs available ie VSAT C-band and VSAT Ku-band. Both have their own strength.

I will update my design later, soooon.

Cisco ADSL WAN card

The single-port ADSL WICs, which fit into any of the WIC, VIC/WIC, HWIC slots on the Cisco 1700/1800/2600/2800/3700/3800 series modular access routers.

ADSL card features:

• One RJ-11 ADSL interface
• Supports ADSL over POTS with Annex A ITU 992.1 (G.dmt)
• Complies with ANSI T1.413 issue 2
• Supports ATM AAL5
• Supports ATM Class of Service features CBR, VBR-nrt, VBR-rt, UBR
• Supports IP QoS
• Supports up to 23 virtual circuits on WIC
• Interoperates with third party and Cisco DSLAMs

Software Support

The ADSL feature is supported in the IP/ADSL Image ("y7" image) for the Cisco 1700 Series. Cisco 2600/3600/3700 series routers require a PLUS IOS image for ADSL if using 12.2T. From 12.3 Mainline and beyond ADSL WIC support is available in the "IP Base" feature set. Some QoS features require an advanced image (IP PLUS, IP VOICE, or above) for Cisco 1700/2600/3600/3700 series router support. The ADSL WICs are supported on the "IP Base" feature set for the Cisco 1800/2800/3800 ISRs. The default IOS image for the Cisco 1841 ADSL bundles is the Cisco IOS IP Broadband image. In addition to all the features of the "IP Base" image, the IP Broadband image also has the Service Assurance Agent (SAA) features. The default IOS image for the Cisco 2800 series ADSL bundles is the Cisco IOS SP Services image.

The ADSL over POTS WIC (WIC-1ADSL), is available on the Cisco IOS 12.3 Mainline for the Cisco 1700/2600/ 3600/3700 series routers. This WIC is supported on the 1800/2800 series ISRs starting with the Cisco IOS 12.3(8)T Release, and on the 3800 series ISRs starting with the Cisco IOS 12.3(11)T Release.

Charlie Giancarlo Departure

December 20, 2007

You have likely already seen the news that our Chief Development Officer and Executive Vice President Charlie Giancarlo is leaving Cisco to pursue new professional opportunities. Charlie is a great guy and a great leader and his presence at Cisco will definitely be missed.

Our Chairman and CEO, John Chambers, offered these kind words about Charlie: "“Charlie has been a close colleague and a good friend during the 14 years he has been at Cisco, and he has made many significant contributions to the company during that time. He has built a seasoned management team that has the strength and skills to execute against our technology vision in order to capture growth opportunities and market share. Cisco is very proud to have had Charlie as one of its leaders, and he will always be considered part of Cisco's extended family.”

Charlie is an innovator and has led many of Cisco's technology and market developments, not the least of which was forming our M&A and business development function - one that is recognized throughout the business world as a model. In the Web 2.0 area, he has also always been willing to lead by example, by blogging, and vlogging...something that many of his leadership team that he leaves will hopefully continue.

Charlie has announced that he is joining Silver Lake Partners as a Managing Partner effective January 1, 2008. He is leaving Cisco at a time when he is confident that Cisco’s business and technology strategies are strong and when the company is ideally positioned for growth in a number of important areas.

Good luck in your new venture, Charlie...we wish you the best of luck and you will be missed.
