Federal agency to switch to iPhone, drop BlackBerry

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) said it will end its contract with BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd in favor of Apple Inc's iPhone

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) said it will end its contract with BlackBerry maker Research In Motion in favor of Apple Inc's iPhone, dealing a new blow to RIM just months before it launches a vital new device. 

The agency said in a solicitation document posted last week that it intends to buy iPhonesfor more than 17,600 employees - a purchase worth $2.1 million. 

The agency said it has relied on RIM for eight years, but the company "can no longer meet the mobile technology needs of the agency." 

It also said it analyzed Apple's iOS-based devices and Google's Android operating system and concluded that, for the near term, Apple's iPhone services offer the best technology for the agency because of Apple's tight controls of the hardware platform and operating system. 

The agency said the iPhone will be used by a "variety of agency personnel, including, but not limited to, Homeland Security Investigations, Enforcement and Removal Operations and Office of the Principal Legal Advisor employees. 

"The iPhone services will allow these individuals to leverage reliable, mobile technology on a secure and manageable platform in furtherance of the agency's mission." 

RIM is expected to launch its new BB10 smartphone in early 2013. The BB10 will come equipped with a revamped operating system and is aimed at putting an end to a precipitous decline in RIM's market share over the past year and longer. 

"Of course, we are disappointed by this decision," RIM vice president of government solutions Paul Lucier said in an emailed statement. "We are working hard to make our new mobile computing platform, BlackBerry 10, meets the future needs of government customers." 

RIM said that, after accounting for the ICE move, it had one million government customers in North America. 

RIM's advantage has been what industry experts widely describe as superior security and device-management features that have made the BlackBerry appealing to corporate IT managers and a crucial tool for police, government and military use. 

But that advantage is waning with the growing number of providers that help companies beef up security on iPhones and Androids.

Google to launch Android 4.2, Samsung Nexus 10, LG Nexus 4 on Oct 29

Google is reportedly planning to unveil a new tablet from Samsung, a new phone from LG, an updated operating system and an improved Nexus 7 during its upcoming event on October 29.

LONDON: Internet search giant Google is reportedly planning to unveil a new tablet from Samsung, a new phone from LG, an updated operating system and an improved Nexus 7 during its upcoming event on October 29.

The firm is expected to unveil at least one new Google Nexus phone as well as an enhanced version of its existing Nexus 7 tablet that will add more memory and 3G capabilities.

Perhaps the most exciting product, however, is a 10-inch tablet developed with Samsung codenamed 'Manta', the Telegraph reports.

According to a report by The Next Web, sources said that running an updated version of Google's Android, the new tablet will offer a 2560x1600 pixel (16:10) resolution.

The device, expected to be called Nexus 10, will be among the first to offer Android 4.2, which will have incremental improvements over the current Android 4.1, the report said.

The event's tagline is 'The playground is open', leading many to suspect it will feature a range of devices.

The Next Web claimed that the firm will also launch LG Nexus 4 mobile handset, which will feature a quad-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm APQ8064 Snapdragon processor, 4.7-inch 1280 x 768 display, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, a 1.3-megapixel front-facing snapper and a 2100mAh battery.

Samsung kicking Apple to curb for LCD panels, report says

The Korea Times says Samsung will replace the lost Apple business with more display orders from Samsung's handset business and Amazon.

Samsung's display business plans to end its LCD panel supply agreement with Apple as of 2013, the Korea Times is reporting.

The publication, citing an unnamed senior Samsung source, said Samsung is taking the step because it "believes its American partner is no longer a cash-generator due to the iPhone maker's stiffer supply-chain management structure." Basically, Samsung isn't making as much from Apple's display purchases as it did in the past.

Samsung expects to replace the lost Apple business with orders from Samsung's handset division and from Amazon for tablets, the Korea Times said.

Samsung later denied the report in a statement to CNET.

While the publication cited financial concerns as the basis for Samsung's move, the strained relationship between the two companies likely has something to do with it. Apple and Samsung have been suing each other seemingly nonstop, with each accusing the other of ripping off its designs.

At issue is control of the booming smartphone and tablet markets, areas that are vital for continued growth at electronics makers.

Apple, which previously relied on Samsung to supply many components for its products, has been reducing its reliance on the company. The Cupertino, Calif., company has been sourcing displays from companies like Sharp and LG, and it reportedly plans to have its chips manufactured by a company other than Samsung.

Samsung Display was the top panel supplier to Apple as of the end of the first six months of this year, shipping over 15 million LCDs, followed by its biggest rival LG Display with 12.5 million and Japan's Sharp with 2.8 million, the Korea Times said, citing market research firm DisplaySearch.

We've contacted Apple and will update this report when it responds.

Facebook starts phasing out 'Questions'

Facebook is phasing out its 'Questions' feature, which allows users to poll their friends directly from a newsfeed. According to CNET, a Facebook representative has said the company is now shifting its focus to “other things”.

Facebook's Questions, however, will be available inside Facebook's Groups and Pages products, but the social networking giant has already begun removing the feature from users' News Feeds. Moreover, users will still have access to old Questions which they'd asked via the Activity Feed. The phase out will take place over the next few days.

AllFacebook quotes a Facebook spokesperson as saying: “Yes, starting today, we are going to begin removing the Questions feature from the composer for users. The removal will happen over the course of a couple of days. Pages and groups will still have the Questions functionality, and users can still access all past Questions and answers. We’re choosing to focus our efforts elsewhere.”

Facebook had launched 'Questions' in 2010 but it failed to gain traction among users. So, what “other things” Facebook is concentrating on now? The company hasn't said anything about this, but rumours predict the shift in focus is onto developing a solid search feature. It may be recalled that Mark Zuckerberg had also hinted at the company's efforts to ramp up its search functionality, having said, “[Facebook is] pretty uniquely positioned to answer a lot of questions people have.” It's sort of "friend mining".

Huawei and Airtel unveil India's first 4G smartphone, Huawei Ascend P1 LTE

Bharti Airtel and Huawei have teamed up to unveil what they call India's first LTE TD (4G) smartphone, the Huawei Ascend P1 LTE. The price of the device has not been yet revealed but speculations are it will be around Rs. 30,000.

The Huawei Ascend P1 LTE supports 4G high speed wireless data on the LTE network and voice calls on the 3G network using Circuit Switched Voice Fall Back (CSFB voice) technology. The smartphone runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS and is powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor.

Other specifications of the device include a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED touch display with a resolution of 960×540 pixels, Corning Gorilla Glass, 1GB of RAM, 4GB built-in storage, microSD card, and an 8MP rear camera with dual-LED flash. The device also supports Wi-Fi, microUSB and Bluetooth connectivity, and ships with a 1,800mAh battery.

"It [4G services] is taking time to ramp up. But it definitely has a wow offer. Right now we are able to offer 40 Mbps of download and 20 MBps of upload speed. The icing on the cake is that the customer pays us around $20 ARPU," says Sanjay Kapoor, Chief Executive Officer, India and South Asia,Bharti Airtel.

Airtel is the first telecom operator in India to launch 4G services. Earlier this year, the telco launched 4G services in Kolkata, later rolled out to Bengaluru as well. Even as 3G coverage gradually expands in India, 4G services, according to an estimate, are estimated to reach 5 million users by 2013. The growth of the TD-LTE market depends on other mobile manufacturers following suit, such as Nokia, Samsung and Apple, which are expected to launch LTE-enabled smartphones in India soon.

1Gbps broadband speed plans coming soon for Indian users: Radius Infratel

Broadband users of nine Indian cities will be soon having access to ultra-fast download speeds up to 1Gbps, says telecom infrastructure firm Radius Infratel. The company expects the high speed broadband will be available for users by mid-2013.

"In the next 6-9 months, world class 1,000 Mbps or 1 Gbps (Gigabits per second) plans will be available in India to residential consumers. On connections like these, the same two hour HD movie will download in 30 seconds," Radius Infratel CEO Rajnish Wahi is quoted as saying. At average broadband speeds, the same content takes more than an hour for full download.

Declining to divulge the names of the service providers or areas where the ultra high-speed plans will be first launch, Wahi said that the discussions are underway, while the deployment work is about to be completed in Gurgaon. Radius, Wahi added, has teamed up with real estate developers, including DLF, Unitech, Emaar MGF, Ansal, Mantri, Vipul, ATS, Omaxe, Vipul, M3M, Paramount and Prateek for fibre optic network that will provide high-speed broadband services in projects undertaken by them.

"Radius network is already available in or near 3 lakh homes and is live in Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Greater Noida, Indirapuram (Ghaziabad). The network will soon be available in Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune, Mumbai and Chandigarh," Executive Director of Radius Infratel, Kuldeep Goyal is quoted as saying.

It's notable that Bharti Airtel and Tata Teleservice provide 100Mbps plans for users that cost up to Rs. 5,000 per month. State-run telecom operator MTNL offers fiber to the home FTTH plans. One of its plans, Fibre Thrill 2590, features 20Mbps download speeds at a monthly rental of Rs. 2,590, and free 150GB of data. Airtel recently launched its FTTH services in Delhi NCR. The Fibrenet 175GB plan features 100Mbps speed for a data transfer limit of up to 175GB, and 512Kbps thereafter, for Rs 5,299.

Google earlier this year had launched its ultra-fast 1Gbps Fiber Internet and Fiber TV service in Kansas City in the U.S.

Bharti Airtel becomes world's 4th largest operator: Wireless Intelligence

India's telecom giant Bharti Airtel has become fourth largest telecom operator in the world in terms of subscribers, according to the Wireless Intelligence ‘Scoreboard’ report. At the end of the quarter ended June 2012, the Company had over 250 million mobile subscribers across its operations, representing 13 percent Y-o-Y growth.

“India’s Bharti Airtel (#4) was the only other member of the top ten to move up the ranking, recording a 13 percent year-on-year rise in connections (to 250 million) and leapfrogging Telefónica to become the world’s fourth-largest operator group in Q2,” says the report.

“However, Bharti's US$3.04 billion in mobile revenue in Q2 2012 is significantly lower than the four other operators in the top five, reflecting Bharti's presence in the ultra low-cost, low-margin Indian and African markets.”

Bharti Airtel had become the fifth largest mobile operator in the world after it took over Zain Group’s mobile operations across 15 African nations in June 2010.

Among the top five operators in the world, China Mobile topped the list with 683.08 million subscribers. Vodafone stands at number two position with 386.88 million subscribers whereas America Movil Group and Telefonica Group occupy third and fifth position with 251.83 million and 243.51 million subscribers respectively.

In the top 20 list, there are three other Indian telecom operators as well - Reliance Communications, Idea Cellular and state-run BSNL. With 154.60 subscribers, RCom is at the 8th position, while Idea ranks 14th with 117.16 subscribers. BSNL is at the bottom in list with 98.28 million subscribers.

Telenor and Sistema foreign firms with a subsidiary in India stood at the ninth and fifteenth position, respectively.

Google Maps data shows what Indians are looking for

Google in collaboration with research firm IPSOS has prepared a report on what items residents of three metropolitan cities—Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore—are searching for on their internet-connected devices.

The report reveals that hotels are the most searched for destinations in these cities. In Delhi , The Imperial is the most searched for hotel, while Mumbai residents looked for The Trident, which has also become the most popular hotel on Google Maps. In Bangalore, The Leela Kempinski was the most searched five star property. The data was collected via maps.google.com in August this year.

According to the data, Karim's and Hard Rock Cafe were the top search hangout joints by people in Delhi and Mumbai respectively. Phoenix Marketcity is the most searched destination amongst all other city malls in Bangalore.

The data also lists educational institutes. According to the report, educational institutes especially engineering colleges were highly popular in Bangalore. IIM Bangalore stands at number two in the search list, NIFT, and the Bishop Cotton Boys school are the two other institutes which made it to the list.

Delhi and Mumbai, according to the data, listed Jama Masjid and Siddhivinayak Temple respectively, as the most searched for cultural/religious sites.

Connaught Place, National Rail Museum and India Gate emerged as the top hangout destinations in Delhi, while Mumbaikers going out for movies, with Big Cinemas—IMAX Wadala, and PVR Cinema topping the list.

Announcing this data, Lalitesh Katragadda, country head—India Products, Google said, “Earlier, India lacked the culture of using maps, but it is changing now. This data is proof that users are continuously accessing information on maps to find places and mapping their communities.”

The official also highlighted growing popularity of the smartphones in India. According to him, about 46 percent of smartphone users are now using their devices to search for directions or simply explore maps. The smartphones are now not just used for making and receiving calls, but for various other purposes such as entertainment, instant messaging, social networking and so on. “Unlike most content, which is fed to users, Google Maps engages consumers to create maps, which are then used by more users,” he adds.

On the relevance of Google Maps for the country, Lalitesh says, “India is an important market for Google. India’s citizen mappers have constantly helped us edit and improve Google Maps, bringing in deep, rich maps, and local information alive for India. Beyond recreational and convenience value, maps have an enormous influence on the world. Not only do they help in relief efforts during a calamity, but also aid social development.”

The Allen-Bradley ControlLogix

The Allen-Bradley ControlLogix system differs from other logic control systems in that the ControlLogix system is capable of integrating an entire manufacturing environment, not just certain machines or lines within a factory.

By EngNet Engineering Network

The Allen-Bradley ControlLogix system differs from other logic control systems in that the ControlLogix system is capable of integrating an entire manufacturing environment, not just certain machines or lines within a factory. A simple ControlLogix system consists of a stand alone controller and input/output modules in a single chassis. More complex systems can have more than one controller in a chassis or multiple controllers and input/output modules in several chassis. These chassis can be part of an extended network interconnected with various communication modules and spread throughout an entire manufacturing facility. ControlLogix provides the total system, including discrete and analog input/output, control over drives, motion, processes, and even safety concerns. The ControlLogix system can be configured in standard formats, for harsh environments, and even with integrated safety features. It is a totally modular system that can be configured to meet the demands and concerns of any manufacturing facility. Designing the initial system, building it, and even modifying it at some future date can be done very cost-effectively, both in terms of initial equipment expense as well as significant savings realized in engineering the system and training those who will use it.

The entire ControlLogix system is a blend of several different modular components which are mounted in the system cabinet. Among these components are:

ControlLogix Controllers
ControlLogix Communication Modules
ControlLogix Integrated Motion
ControlLogix I/O Modules
ControlLogix Power Supplies
ControlLogix Chassis
ControlLogix Software

Configuring your ControlLogix system, whether it be for one machine, an assembly line, or an entire manufacturing facility, is rather straightforward. You will need to closely examine the relevant manufacturing blueprints, as well as all machine prints and electrical prints pertinent to the task at hand. Create a spreadsheet listing all operations requiring input and output points. Also note all specialty applications, such as motion control and temperature control, and the type of communications modules needed to interface with the various system components. After completing this spreadsheet you will be able to determine the amount of memory necessary, the number of input/output modules and communication modules needed, and all other aspects of your ControlLogix system. The following tables list the various options available to complete your ControlLogix system. The order in which they are presented is the most logical way to configure your system. For instance, you cannot determine which ControlLogix Controller(s) to select until you have analyzed the number of Input/Output modules needed.

Allen Bradley ControlLogix Controllers

Several options are available, including standard controllers, GuardLogix safety controllers, and ControlLogix-XT extreme temperature controllers. User memory options range from 2 MB to 32 MB.

You will need to select the appropriate controller with sufficient memory to operate your system. If there is any doubt, always select the next larger memory option. You'll also be choosing optional memory cards as needed. Controllers can be placed in any slot of a ControlLogix chassis, and multiple controllers can be mounted in the same chassis. Multiple controllers communicate with each other but can operate independently. Refer to the following tables for specifications. Controller USB ports are intended for temporary local programming. USB ports are not suited for permanent connections or hazardous locations.

Redundant ControlLogix Controllers

All ControlLogix controllers support controller redundancy. A redundant controller system requires two 1756 Chassis per redundant system with these identical features:

1. Total number of slots
2. Modules in same slots in each chassis
3. Redundancy firmware in each chassis
4. Two additional ControlNet Nodes outside the redundant chassis pair
5. One 1756-RM Redundancy Module per chassis to support one 1756-L64 or L65 controller or one 1756-RM to support two 1756-L71, L72, L73, L74, L75, L61, L62 or L63 controllers
6. Maximum seven communication modules. Choose from 1756-CN2/B, CN2R/B, EN2T, or EN2F Modules
7. One 1756-RMCx cable

Allen Bradley ControlLogix Communication Modules

Available options include EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, DeviceNet, Data Highway Plus, Remote I/O, Foundation Fieldbus, Serial, DH-485, and SynchLink. Multiple communication modules can be installed in the ControlLogix system to allow control and/or sharing of data over different networks.

After determining the networks you will be using you will be able to select the communication modules your system will require and the necessary cables and network equipment. Remember to plan for extra modules and cables if you are designing a redundant system. It is possible to route a message through up to 4 different chassis (8 communication hops). A ControlLogix controller is not required in each chassis to accomplish this. The following tables list the various communication modules available to interface with your system. The first table lists normal usage applications for the industry protocol communications networks.

Allen Bradley ControlLogix I/O Modules

Choose from digital, analog, RTD, motion, thermocouple, and specialty modules. Further options include field-side diagnostics, individually isolated inputs and/or outputs, and electronic fusing. Each module requires a remote terminal block (RTB).

Your selection process will include not only the I/O requirements of the system but also the characteristics of the modules. Input/Output modules can cover many applications, from high speed digital to process control. By the use of a “producer/consumer” model, the ControlLogix system can share input information and output status with many controllers over the entire system. Some modules feature field-side diagnostics, electronic fusing, and/or individually isolated inputs or outputs. You will need to select a remote terminal block (RTB) or a 1492 interface module (IFM) to connect all field wiring for each module. The following tables list the various input/output module options available.

DC Digital Input and Output Modules

Allen-Bradley delineates between the various digital DC modules by sorting them into two categories: Sinking and Sourcing. As an engineer designing your own system it will help you to understand the difference between these two options. Here is the definition as given by Allen-Bradley:

"Sinking and Sourcing are terms used to describe a current signal flow relationship between field input and output devices in a control system and their power supply.

• Field devices connected to the positive side (+V) of the field power supply are sourcing field devices.
• Field devices connected to the negative side (DC Common) of the field power supply are called sinking field devices.

To maintain electrical compatibility between field devices and the programmable controller system, this definition is extended to the input/output circuits on the digital I/O modules.

• Sourcing I/O circuits supply (source) current to the sinking field devices.
• Sinking I/O circuits receive (sink) current from sourcing field devices.

Europe: DC sinking input and sourcing output module circuits are the commonly used options"

Input/Output Module Accessories

There are two methods of providing wiring connections between the 1756 Input/Output Modules and your plant wiring system: Removable Terminal Blocks (RTBs) and prefabricated wiring cable systems that attach directly to the module. Descriptions of both options are listed below. Note that if you select the RTB option and are using 14 gauge or heavier wire you will need to select an extended depth RTB housing (1756-TBE) for each RTB used.

Screwdriver Width	8 mm – 5/16 in. Maximum

Wiring Cable Systems

Instead of using RTBs and connecting the module wiring on-site you can elect the following wiring system options:

• Interface Modules (IFMs) provide output terminal blocks for digital input/output modules. You select pre-wired cables matching the digital I/O module to the IFM.
• Analog Interface Modules (AIFMs) provide output terminal blocks for analog I/O modules. You select pre-wired cables matching the analog I/O module to the AIFM.
• I/O Module Ready Cables are a prefabricated wiring assembly in which one end is an RTB that plugs directly into the input/output module. The other end of the assembly has color-coded conductors that connect directly to an industry standard terminal block.
