TRANSCRIPT

  • Starting off in our Cable Sales & Marketing

    department as a Sales Executive on Google

    Adwords, Mr. Waqar worked in numerous

    departments of Skylite Networks. His keenness

    prominent place among our employees. He

    introduced many new techniques and

    strategies in each of these departments and

    brought healthy and fruitful changes in them.

    Because of his aptitude to contemplate new

    things he broke a considerable measure of

    protable myths and tricks, which took the CPC

    campaigns of Skylite Networks to a new level.

    After his productive phase in Adwords, the

    management decided to shift him to the newly

    i n t r oduced p ro j ec t : Wes tCab les , an

    ecommerce website of Skylite Networks. He

    worked on the major key points for the

    marketing of WestCables, researched and

    visualized the concept of EthernetPedia with

    other colleagues. After his successful efforts on

    both the projects he was handed over a brand

    new task of Vendors, a project of selling relevant

    products of other vendors on our e-commerce

    Websites. Mr. Waqar single handedly

    masterminded and completed the docum-

    completing his four years

    certication of BBA (Hons.)

    from COMSATS and working

    in some of the eminent

    organizations of Pakistan.

    The Future of Internet of Things (IoT)

    Its been predicted that by the end of 2015 , there will be 25 billion devices connected to the internet

    and the number will double by 2020. This makes an average of seven devices for each person

    living on the earth. Information will be generated from machine to machine by robots and sensors,

    machine to people via wearables, and people to people via social networks. Internet of things

    includes natural or man made object that is embedded with sensors assigned an internet address

    and that transfer data from sensors and devices to servers located in the cloud wirelessly.

    The connected home includes digital door locks connected to the cloud that can be unlocked via

    the internet, animal collars that enable owners to track their pets regardless of their whereabouts.

    A connected refrigerator will sense the levels of grocery, re-order and get it delivered. A small

    device in the bed side pillow will sense the sleep level and activate house lighting, coffee maker,

    slow cooker or oven in a timely manner. Developments in the area of personal health are very

    interesting. Today sensors monitor level of sugar constantly and administer insulin as required.

    Tomorrow a connected toothbrush will send data to a dentist, on frequency, effective cleaning and

    health of your teeth. Similarly other wearable and health related monitoring devices will be

    connected to a health-care organization database. The organization will analyze a member's

    activities and create individual incentives for each member to stay healthy. Businesses are

    installing special devices to attract the customers carrying their apps in the smart phones. A

    merchant will learn as soon as a consumer enters the store. The

    In the future most of the products and services will be

    connected to the internet. This connectivity constitutes a

    major part of the Internet of Things. To educate our youth, I

    would like to offer some of the basic denitions in this eld

    The Internet of everything was initially introduced by Jeff

    Chambers of Cisco Systems. It's a world-wide system of inter-

    connected computers, networks, sensors, actuators, and

    variety of devices utilizing internet protocol. This process holds

    so much potential to change, how we live, feel and interact.

    system will guide the customer towards desired area/products,

    pricing and discounts. Connected wearables include Google

    Glass, smart gear, Nike Fuel, cap, headset and related devices.

    Tomorrow this will include clothing with embedded sensors,

    gadgets to monitor the emotions, GPS equipped devices to

    navigate and help location sensitive activations. I'll further

    elaborate this area in the future issues. The Internet of things will

    play an important role in how we live and conduct our business. It is

    predicted that over the next 3-5 years, a huge transformation will

    happen with the internet of things.

    Tech News

    The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) is looking to add mesh networking capabilities to the

    Bluetooth Smart wireless technology, making it easier for devices to network together as part of the

    Internet of Things (IoT).

    Smartphones have swapped nearly every believable device, but computer scientists are teaching

    them some new tricks. The scientists are familiarizing accelerometers, GPS chips, gyroscopes and

    other sensors to make phones that can read a user's mood, eliminate passwords, protect nancial

    transactions and more.

    A new study nds that users on OKCupid and mobile-based Tinder aren't able to determine social

    norms or effective match-making techniques on the services, so they use Reddit to learn tips about

    online dating. Once there, they also nd ways that allow them to cheat the system to interact with

    more potential dates.

    The evolution of Parkinson's is monitored in real time through a new portable system, with results sent

    to the doctor to improve the prescription of medication, developers report.

  • A brief history of Android:The Android platform is the product of the Open Handset Alliance, a group of organizations collaborating to build a better mobile

    phone. The group, led by Google, includes mobile operators, device handset manufacturers, component manufacturers, software solution and platform

    providers, and marketing companies. From a software development standpoint, Android sits smack in the middle of the open source world. The rst Android-

    capable handset on the market was the G1 device manufactured by HTC and provisioned on T-Mobile. The device became available after almost a year of

    speculation, where the only software development tools available were some incrementally improving SDK releases. As the G1 release date neared, the

    Android team released SDK V1.0 and applications began surfacing for the new platform.To spur innovation, Google sponsored two rounds of "Android

    Developer Challenges," where millions of dollars were given to top contest submissions. A few months after the G1, the Android Market was released, allowing

    users to browse and download applications directly to their phones. Over about 18 months, a new mobile platform entered the public arena.Google is allowing

    every Tom, Dick, and Harry to build Applications for Android by making it open source. All you need is to Setup your environment and have an introduction to

    following languages.

    Java - primary android development language

    C++ - NDK for libraries, not apps

    Python, bash, et. al. - Via the Scripting Environment

    Google Fiber

    What is it? Google Fiber is gigabit (or 1,000 megabits per second) Internet, supplied by ber-optic cables rather than the

    century-old copper ones currently providing Internet at speeds of about 9.8 megabits per second.

    Where is it? Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kan. were the rst markets selected for Google Fiber implementation in

    2010, chosen from nearly 1,100 community and 200,000 individual applicants. Since then, Google has begun work on

    launching networks in Provo, Utah and Austin, Texas.

    How is it set up? Google Fiber is powered by a hub-and-spoke cable system, according to information provided by the

    company. A ber ring surrounds the city where the network is located. From that ring, bers branch inward and connect to ber

    huts, where each strand passes through the devices that receive and transmit signals between your computer and the

    Internet. From there, bers connect to telecom cabinets, which divide bers into small bundles that travel outward to clusters

    of homes. At that point, cables pass through neighborhoods via telephone poles or underground and, ultimately, a single

    strand connects to an individual home for Internet and television connections.

    What happens if Nashville is selected? Google builds the primary infrastructure for cities selected, and then asks

    "berhoods" -- groups of homes served by the same cabinet -- to reach a certain interest goal for their network to be "lit up."

    Once that signup goal is reached, berhoods are activated and technicians visit users' homes to nalize Internet and

    television connections. Google has three different plans available for customers, including combined television and Internet,

    and two different Internet options.

    How will Google Fiber change my service? Google cites a few benets from ber service, such as improved ability to share

    bandwidth across multiple devices, less buffering when streaming HD video and the ability to download a digital movie in less

    than two minutes.

    What will it cost? In Kansas City, an Internet-only package costs $70 a month. A TV and Internet package goes for $120 per

    month. Google also offers a free Internet package at "today's basic speeds" for customers willing to pay a one-time construction fee of $300.

    What about businesses? Google Fiber as currently designed is primarily for individuals and homes, according to the company, but a small-business network

    is being developed.

    Is Google the only company offering this? No. In fact, shortly after Google announced Austin as the next site for Google Fiber, AT&T announced its own

    plans to bring a similar high-speed network to the city, and Time Warner is undertaking a similar effort.

    How does the US stack up in terms of gigabit Internet? Here's a by-the-numbers breakdown from Google of ber Internet as at stands today:

    7.7 percent of home Internet connections in the US are ber

    68 percent of Japanese connections are ber

    62 percent of Korean connections are ber

    9.8 Megabits per second, the average connection speed in the US, ranks No. 9 in the world

    66 percent of Americans have connections slower than 10 megabits per second

    Nearly 150 ber-to-the home projects and dozens of gigabit Internet projects are currently underway

    Android Application Development

    Environment: There are a lot of Environment tools free of cost and paid which have made a

    developers life easy by assisting him in Developing Efcient and user-friendly applications.

    One of the most commonly used Tool is Google's Android Studio and SDK Tools which are

    dependent on each other and need to be installed simultaneously. Google has made it even

    easier to set up environment by packing all the tools in to a single package called ADT Bundle. Just download the pack and run the tool.

    Developing: After installation of environment comes the monster called developing. What you need here is your programming skills along with the knowledge of

    above mentioned Languages especially JAVA. There are a lot of books that can be consulted for learning Android Development like Android Programming: The

    Big Nerd Ranch Guide. Besides that you can also join online communities or forums like Stackoverow where you can always get answered to any question in

    no time and can also answer others questions. Developed your Application? What Next? After you have developed your own application you can throw it to

    the world by buying an account on Google Play. After paying for an account you will get a console where you can upload and publish you application. After

    Publishing others will see your app on google play and can download it.

    I think right now it's a battle for the mindshare of developers and for the mindshare of customers, and right now iPhone and Android are winning that battle.
