He has taught at New York College (Info Technology Institute), Rutgers College, and Stevens Institute of Technology (1984–2003).

Additionally, he was a Technology Analyst At-Massive, for Gartner/DataPro (1985–2001); based mostly on in depth hand-on work at monetary corporations and carriers, he tracked applied sciences and wrote CTO/CIO-level technical scans within the space of telephony and information methods

Together with matters on safety, catastrophe restoration/enterprise continuity, community administration, LANs, WANs (ATM, IPv4, MPLS, IPv6), wi-fi (LANs, public hotspot, wi-fi sensor networks, 3G/4G, and satellite tv for pc), VoIP, community design/economics, provider networks (akin to metro Ethernet and CWDM/DWDM)

And e-commerce. For a number of years he has been Session, Tutorial, and now general Technical Program Chair for the IEEE ENTNET (Enterprise Networking) convention

ENTNET focuses on enterprise networking necessities for giant monetary corporations and different company establishments (this IEEE group has now merged and has develop into the IEEE Technical Committee on Info Infrastructure [TCIIN]).

He has additionally acted as Knowledgeable Witness in a (received) $11B lawsuit relating to a VoIP-based wi-fi Air-to-Floor radio communication system for airplane in-cabin companies, in addition to for a big lawsuit associated to digital scanning and transmission of financial institution paperwork/devices (particularly, scanned checks).

He has additionally been engaged as a technical professional in quite a few patent infringement proceedings within the digital imaging, VoIP, firewall, and VPN area supporting legislation corporations akin to Schiff Hardin LLP, Fulbright & Jaworski LLP, Dimock Stratton LLP/ Good & Biggar LLP, Munger, Tolles, and Olson LLP, and Baker & McKenzie LLP, amongst others.

Preface to Innovations In Satellite Communications and Technology

Quite a few technical and service advances affecting industrial satellite tv for pc communications have been seen up to now few years. This textual content surveys a few of these new key advances and what the implications and/or alternatives for end-users and service suppliers is likely to be.

Satellite communication performs and will proceed to play a key function in industrial, TV/media, authorities, and army communications due to its intrinsic multicast/broadcast capabilities, mobility facets, world attain, reliability, and capability to shortly help connectivity in open-space and/or hostile environments.

Enterprise components impacting the business at the moment embrace the will for greater throughput and less expensive bandwidth. Improved modulation strategies permit customers to extend channel information charges by using strategies akin to 64APSK.

Excessive throughput can be achieved by way of using Ka (and Ku) spot beams on Excessive Throughput Satellites (HTS), and by way of the discount of transmission latency (as a consequence of higher-layer protocol stack handshakes) utilizing Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites that function in a 5,000-mile orbit over the equator (also referred to as MEO-HTS)

However the place customers should use two steerable antennas to trace the spacecraft and retain sign connectivity by transferring the trail from one satellite tv for pc within the constellation to a different.

Offering companies to folks on-the-move, notably for transoceanic airplane journeys is now each technically possible and financially advantageous to the service supplier stakeholders.

M2M (machine-to-machine) connectivity, whether or not for vehicles on transcontinental journeys, or for plane real-time-telemetry aggregation, or mercantile ship information monitor, opens up new alternatives to increase the Web of Issues (IoT) to broadly-distributed entities, notably in oceanic environments.

Rising Extremely Excessive Definition Tv (UHDTV) supplies video high quality that’s the equal of 8-to-16 HDTV screens (33 million pixels, for the 7,680 × 4,320 decision), in comparison with a most 2 million pixels (1,920 × 1,080 decision) for the present highest high quality HDTV service clearly, this requires much more bandwidth.

Satellite operators are planning to place themselves on this market section, with generally-available broadcast companies deliberate for 2020, and extra focused transmission beginning at press time.

On the core-technology stage, electrical (as a substitute of chemical) propulsion is being sought; such propulsion approaches can cut back spacecraft weight (and so, launch value) and probably prolong the spacecraft life.

Moreover, new launch platforms are being dropped at the market, once more with the objective of decreasing launch value by way of elevated competitors.

Satellite networks can’t actually exist (ceaselessly) as stand-alone islands in a sea of connectivity; therefore, hybrid networks have an necessary function to play.

The widespread introduction of IP-based companies, together with IP-based Tv (IPTV) and Over The Prime (OTT) video, pushed by continued deployment of fiber connectivity will finally re-shape the business.

In specific, Web Protocol Model 6 (IPv6) is a expertise now being deployed in numerous elements of the world that can permit true express end-to-end machine addressability.

Because the variety of clever methods that want direct entry expands to the a number of billions (e.g., together with smartphones, tablets, home equipment, sensors/actuators, and even body-worn bio-metric units), IPv6 turns into an institutional crucial, within the remaining evaluation.

The mixing of satellite tv for pc communication and IPv6 capabilities guarantees to offer a strong networking infrastructure that may serve the evolving wants of presidency, army, IPTV, and cell video stakeholders, to call only a few.

This e book explores these evolving technical themes and alternatives. After an introductory overview, Chapter 2 discusses advances in modulation strategies, akin to DBV-S2 extensions (DVB-S2X).

Spotbeam applied sciences (at Ka but additionally at Ku) which represent the technical foundation for the rising HTS methods and companies are mentioned in Chapter 3. Aeronautical mobility companies akin to Web service whereas on-the-move are lined in Chapter 4.

Maritime and different terrestrial mobility companies are lined in Chapter 5. M2M functions are surveyed in Chapter 6. Rising Extremely HD applied sciences are assessed in Chapter 7.

Lastly, new area expertise, notably Electrical Propulsion and new launch platforms finally driving decrease cost-per-bit (or cost-per-MHz) are mentioned in Chapter 8.

This work will probably be of curiosity to expertise buyers; planners with satellite tv for pc operators, carriers and service suppliers; CTOs; logistics professionals; engineers at tools builders; expertise integrators; Web Service Suppliers (ISP), telcos, and wi-fi suppliers, each domestically and in the remainder of the world.
