Intersil's Security Link Over Coax (SLOC) Solution to Enable Wider-Spread Adoption of Digital IP Vid
today introduced an advanced modem solution designed to simultaneously transmit analog CVBS video and digital IP video over a single coaxial cable. The Intersil Techwell SLOC™ (Security Link over Coax) solution uniquely allows modern mega-pixel IP cameras to operate in the existing CCTV coaxial cable infrastructure without the need for new wiring or cable modifications, providing significant cost and resource savings.
Moreover, the Intersil Techwell device enables digital IP camera functionality on existing coaxial wiring infrastructure without disrupting existing CCTV services. In addition, the embedded analog CVBS video enables latency-free live viewing and controlling of digital IP cameras. Surveillance system manufacturers can now architect an effective hybrid surveillance system that supports latency-free analog CCTV functions as well as networked IP surveillance functions.
The solution is comprised of the TW3801, a SLOC-based camera modem PHY device, and the TW3811, a SLOC-based receiver modem PHY device. Based upon Intersil Techwell technology, the combination of TW3801 and TW3811 provides the security surveillance industry with a seamless migration from a traditional analog system to an IP security system. The SLOC technology leverages the installed coaxial cable infrastructure and enables networked IP functions without requiring significant change to either the IP camera design or the DVR (digital video recorder) design.
Both the TW3801 and the TW3811 are highly integrated modem PHY subsystems that include an analog front end (AFE), a digital modem and two Ethernet media independent interfaces (MII). The TW3801 accepts an analog CVBS signal and an Ethernet MII signal and internally combines these signals into one proprietary output signal for transmission over a coaxial cable. The TW3811 accepts a SLOC output signal from a SLOC-based camera modem PHY IC and decodes it into an analog CVBS and an Ethernet MII signal. The result provides customers with the ability to upgrade their existing analog-based system to the highly feature rich IP security system, including latency-free functionality.
The Intersil SLOC solution provides high-performance and robust communications between the IP camera and the receiver at coaxial cable lengths of up to 500 meters. Downlink throughput is up to 36Mbps (from camera to receiver); uplink throughput is up to 11Mbps (from receiver to camera).
Demonstration Showcases SLOC Technology at Security Essen 2010
Intersil Techwell will provide a demonstration of its SLOC modem PHY IC devices at the Security Essen 2010 show, which will be held in Essen, Germany from October 5th to 8th in Hall GA Booth155. Attendees will experience first-hand the simultaneous transmission of analog CVBS video and digital HD 1080p IP video over a single commodity-priced coaxial cable, streaming from an HD 1080p IP camera to a monitoring station.
Pricing and Availability
Both the TW3801 and the TW3811 are available in engineering samples in the 100-TQFP (12x12mm) package. Mass production samples are slated for Q1, 2011. Pricing for the chipset is estimated at $35.00 each in 1,000-piece quantities. For more information please visit: http://www.intersil.com/Video/SLOC.asp

Can I keep My Unlimited 3G Service If I Switch To A New Modem?
While the 5GB monthly allowance is standard these days, many 3G service providers used to offer \"unlimited\" service. In March of 2008 Verizon switched to the 5GB limit, and Sprint followed suit in the summer of 2008, but both providers did something special for their existing customers: they \"grandfathered in\" their contracts and allowed subscribers who signed up before the terms of service changed to keep their unlimited accounts. As long as those customers don\'t make any changes to their accounts, they can continue to use their 3G service without having to worry about overage charges.
Since overage charges can really add up if you\'re a heavy user who often goes beyond 5GB in a month, customers who have an old unlimited Sprint or Verizon contract understandably don\'t want to lose that benefit. Most customers understand that if they don\'t do anything at all to their accounts, they don\'t have to worry about losing their unlimited status, but what if you need (or simply want) a new modem? We often hear customers tell us, \"I need a new modem, but I\'m on the old unlimited data plan - am I going to lose that if I get a new modem?\"
As a general rule, as long as you don\'t sign a new 2-year contract and are swapping to a 3G-only device, you will KEEP YOUR UNLIMITED STATUS. To replace your modem while preserving your account status, you need to make sure you do an ESN swap, NOT a true upgrade. Upgrading is very tempting - the mobile broadband carriers will typically offer you a cheap or even free modem if you upgrade and extend your contract by another two years, but this will automatically put you under the new terms of service, which include the 5GB allowance! Doing an ESN swap will cost you more than an upgrade, because you will need to purchase the modem outright instead of getting a subsidized one from the carrier, but you will be able to keep your unlimited status. 3Gstore has a variety of low-cost refurbished modems that are perfect for folks who want to swap to a new device without losing their unlimited account status.
There is one very important exception to the \"doing an ESN swap will not change my contract or plan\" rule, and it applies to Sprint 3G/4G devices. Sprint\'s 3G/4G devices (like the Overdrive, 250U, and U600) REQUIRE Sprint\'s 3G/4G plan, which provides unlimited 4G service but has the 5GB allowance on the 3G side, with overage charges thereafter. This is the ONLY plan that you can activate Sprint\'s 3G/4G devices with - you CANNOT activate a 3G/4G device on a 3G-only plan. For people that live in a 4G area, this isn\'t a problem since the 3G/4G plan provides unlimited 4G access, but for people that will mainly be relying on the 3G side, giving up your unlimited 3G service might not be worth making the switch just yet. If you have a 3G device with an unlimited Sprint plan and are considering doing a swap to a 3G/4G device, you should only do so if you actually have access to 4G and plan to use it; otherwise, you may want to wait until 4G is available in your area.
One more thing to note is that while an unlimited contract is important to heavy users, most users don\'t use anywhere close to 5GB - if you fall into that category, it may make more sense for you to do a traditional upgrade (so that you can get a cheap or free Sprint or Verizon device) or even consider the no-contract DataJack 3G service, which has the 5GB limit but costs less per month.
If you have an unlimited 3G account, the bottom line is that you CAN switch to another device and keep your unlimited status, as long as it\'s another 3G device that you\'re swapping to and you don\'t do a true upgrade - but you should evaluate your usage habits to see if it might make more sense to accept the 5GB allowance and save some money.

Netgear Tells Customer to Call Geek Squad -- WTF? Posted
What\'s even worse -- and we thought unthinkable -- is when the manufacturer of one your computer parts suggests calling Geek Squad to diagnose your failing gear before they\'ll replace it. That\'s exactly what one user who wrote into The Consumerist claims happened when his Netgear DGN2200 wireless router with DSL modem went on the fritz.
\"Five calls to [Netgear\'s] tech department and it is still not working,\" the user claims. \"On the fifth and final call they suggested I call the Geek Squad (approximately $139 for them to come to our home) to troubleshoot it and if it proves the modem is bad they will send me a new unit at that time (which I only paid $79 to begin with).\"
It doesn\'t take a math whiz to figure out that\'s a bum deal. Assuming it all went down the way the user claims it did, let\'s hope this was an isolated incident.

Telstra finally gets Wi-Fi modem
Telstra has launched its Pre-Paid Mobile Wi-Fi modem, which will compete with Vodafone's Pocket WiFi modem and Virgin Mobile's Wi-Fi modem.
The portable Wi-Fi hotspot can connect up to five devices simultaneously and is compatible with both Windows and Mac platforms. It is the first Wi-Fi modem available through Telstra; both Vodafone and Virgin Mobile have similar devices on the market. Unlike Telstra's Ultimate USB modem, which is capable of theoretical speeds of up to 42Mbps, the Wi-Fi modem is a 7.2Mbps device. Telstra says a similar wireless device capable of 21Mbps speeds should launch in early 2011.
The Telstra Pre-Paid Mobile Wi-Fi modem will sell for $149 on a Telstra prepaid data plan, and will officially be available in Telstra stores on 26 October. A starter pack will include 5GB of data with a 90-day expiry period.
Telstra also unveiled a new Elite Pre-Paid Mobile Broadband modem ($129) and announced its prepaid mobile Christmas line-up. Among the new smartphones to hit the shelves by the end of October are the Nokia C6 ($299), Nokia C5 ($199), the LG Craze ($149), the Samsung S5510 ($129) and the Samsung Galaxy 5 ($199). The Galaxy 5 is a Telstra exclusive and the cheapest Android-powered smartphone to launch in Australia.
More options for mobile Internet access
The growing number of options we now have to access the Internet – fast – is some sort of “a dream [gradually] come true”.
By fast, I mean broadband, with speed exceeding the 56 Kbps we used to endure with our V90 modems and a fixed telephone-based connection.
As you should know by now, WiMAX will soon be available in more places in Indonesia. According to Berca, one of the companies with WiMAX licenses in Indonesia, WiGO service will soon be launched in Medan and Balikpapan next month, followed by Batam and other cities in Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Bali and Nusa Tenggara.
In fact Sitra Wimax, a subsidiary of First Media, has already launched its WiMAX service in Karawaci, Tangerang, and plans to cover the greater Jakarta area in a couple of years. This provider also has other zones in Indonesia to work on, i.e., the northern part of Sumatra and Banten.
In my last article, I took a look at Aha from Bakrie Connectivity, which I found quite useful. The advantage of mobile broadband services, whether using wireless technologies such as 1xEV-DO, 3G UMTS, HSDPA and — in a few years time — the LTE, is that these services allow us, in theory, to move from one place to another without our connection being disrupted. It is just like talking on your cellphone. Of course, in reality we still get disconnected as the network hands us over from one network cell to another.
While the choice of access methods is widening, the number of devices we can use has also increased.
The first-generation USB modem device used to look like a conventional stick drive. Today, it has become stylish and more importantly, it has more functionality and performs better than its predecessors.
Last month, I spoke with Rahmad Widjaja Sakti, PT MLW Telecom’s product and marketing director. His company makes and sells a broad range of products under the brand SpeedUp, including Mobile Broadband Gateway, USB modem sticks, mobile routers and even netbooks bundled with operator services.
If you have been following the news on Telkomsel, you will know the operator has been working closely with MLW in marketing the SpeedUp products. These products are labeled Telkomsel Flash and Telkomsel Xircle Edition. However, the products are also available at sale outlets of other operators including Indosat, XL and Telkom Flexi. Yes, SpeedUp is also available for the CDMA side.
Too bad I have not had the chance to really test drive the capability of any of MLW’s products, although I have been loaned their “My Wi-Fi” MW100. The reason is Telkomsel’s GSM signal into my study is unfortunately not strong enough. I need to go out to get the real experience, which is on my schedule.
The download speed of the 3.5G HSDPA can reach up to 7.2 Mbps, while with the EV-DO it is 3.1 Mbps.
Interestingly, all SpeedUp HSDPA products use the chips made by Qualcomm. But it is the innovations that are most interesting. The MW100, for example, is not only a USB modem, it is also a router and Wi-Fi access point. I will tell you more about it after my test drive.
MLW Telecom also offers a sleek mobile phone under the brand Growell. The specific model is Growell P300. “Growell actually means ‘grow well’, and it belongs to us,” explained Rahmad. I remember the name quite well, as in the old days, when I was still thinking of buying my own USB modem, a good friend of mine recommended Growell. It was actually the modem used by Mobile-8’s Fren Internet service.
MLW has been aggressively marketing its products, which range from Rp 300,000 to Rp 1,500,000.
Two important considerations to take into account with devices like the USB modem is the ease of use and compatibility with the operating system used by the host PC, notebook or netbook. MLW knows this quite well and ensures product compatibility with popular operating systems.
