1.- Samsung Demos Ultra-Low Power Next-Gen HDTVs
The increased definition of HDTV has motivated consumer premise manufacturers to move to ever-
increasing TV sizes. With these increases in diagonal dimension, TV power consumption has grown
at a rapid rate. The home TV is now a major consumer of power.
At SID Display Week in Los Angeles, May 17-19, Samsung is exhibiting a technology, developed
with its affiliate Nouvoyance, which enhances ultra-low power HDTV display products. In this
demonstration, frame sequential color (FSC), PenTile technology, and red, green, blue (RGB) local
dimming have been combined to produce a TV display technology that features a wider array of
colors, virtually eliminates color breakup, and operates at approximately 25 percent of the power
of legacy LCD TV technology, according to Samsung.
Samsung and Nouvoyance have been able to blend fixed color filters with clear subpixels of FSC
using a PenTile RGBCW (red, green, blue, cyan, and white) color filter array. A 2D dimming RGB
backlight has been highly localized to work in conjunction with the PenTile RGBCW array. The
PenTile technology’s white (W) subpixels are clear and capable of crisply transmitting Red, Green,
or Blue light from the backlight as needed in any given display zone.
For this technology demonstration, a 15.1-inch 816 x 490 LCD is used, but the panel can be readily
scaled to larger sizes and finer resolutions.

2.- Infonetics: ROADM WSS Component Market On Pace For Growth
Infonetics Research has released excerpts from its ROADM Components report, which tracks the
Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer optical network equipment market and the
wavelength selective switch (WSS) components within it, measured by spacing technology and
degree-count.
"Sales of WSS components used for ROADM optical network hardware and ROADM subsystems
more than doubled in 2010 over 2009, and we forecast continued strong revenue growth through
at least 2015, with the market growing at a 20 percent CAGR," said Andrew Schmitt, Infonetics
Research's directing analyst for optical, in a statement. "WSS unit growth will actually outstrip
revenue growth due to price reductions and an eventual shift to smaller degree counts as ROADMs
are deployed further toward the edges of networks. Carriers large and small continue to embrace
ROADMs as a way to lower lifetime capex."
ROADM WSS Component Market Highlights:
• The WDM ROADM optical equipment market is the fastest growing segment of the optical
transport equipment business, outstripping the growth of the overall WDM optical market and
taking share from the declining SONET/SDH market.
• Within the WDM ROADM space, the key component is the wavelength selective switch (WSS),
which allows wavelength route provisioning to become dynamic and protection switching to
take place at the optical layer rather than the electrical layer
• In 2010, WSS component revenue as a share of overall WDM ROADM equipment revenue grew
to 13% from 7% in 2009 and is expected to climb to 15% by 2015

• The huge increase in ROADM WSS sales in 2010 was due to a massive shift towards higher
degree counts, as well as unit volume growth that outstripped the growth of the end
equipment market
• With demand outstripping supply, the average selling price (ASP) of WSS components actually
increased in 2010
• Finisar and JDSU are neck-and-neck in the ROADM WSS component revenue market share
race, with Finisar edging past JDSU for the first time in 2010.

3.- FCoE SAN multi-hop technology primer
Stephen Foskett, Contributor

What you will learn in this tip: Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) storage-area network (SAN)
technology is becoming more popular in data storage environments, but there are performance
issues, primarily the lack of multi-hop switching support, that need to be addressed that could
potentially stunt the growth of the technology. Find out what vendors and users are doing to
improve FCoE SAN performance.
FCoE SAN is gaining broad support from storage and network vendors, and customer adoption is
also rising. Because it's a new protocol and relies on many new features, FCoE remains somewhat
limited in terms of interoperability and flexibility. One often-criticized element is the lack of multi-
hop switching support in FCoE SANs, but what exactly does this mean?
A quick Fibre Channel primer
Fibre Channel (FC) initiators contain a number of Node Ports (“N_Port”) that connect to the Fabric
Ports (“F_Port”) on switches. FC switches talk to each other using Expansion Ports (“E_Port”)
before finally communicating with the N_Port on the storage array. This allows them to route
traffic through the SAN to avoid data loss and congestion. FCoE SANs adopt a virtual version of this
configuration, with a “VN_Port” talking to a “VF_Port,” and (if they support it) the network switches
using “VE_Ports” to exchange data over an inter-switch link (ISL).
One major difference between a Fibre Channel fabric and Ethernet network is intelligence: The
fabric itself actively participates in access and routing decisions. Although it's distributed, the FC
fabric has some intelligence and thus FC switches are more involved in the network than basic
Ethernet switches. In particular, each switch participates in making decisions about where to send
data traffic, so each stream of initiator-to-target traffic gets its own route through the SAN rather
than sharing a single route as in an Ethernet LAN with spanning tree path management.
FCoE allows various Ethernet switches to be part of the SAN. Many assume the FCoE ideal is for
each Ethernet switch to be a full FC Forwarder with ISLs, and thus an active participant in the SAN
just like a traditional FC switch. But it's possible and sometimes desirable to skip some or all of the
SAN processing, and this causes much confusion in the press and among end users. A given Fibre
Channel over Ethernet SAN might have a simple Ethernet edge for connectivity, a multi-tiered
Ethernet switch infrastructure or be a full end-to-end fabric, depending on which features are used.
Edge-only FCoE
The earliest implementations of FCoE restricted Ethernet to the edge facing the hosts. This allowed
FCoE to function in the absence of many data center bridging (DCB) technologies, and gave Cisco
Systems Inc. and EMC Corp. bragging rights for being early implementers of the new storage
protocol.
Edge-only FCoE relies on a full FC SAN, including storage arrays, switches and fabric services, but
allows hosts (or initiators in storage lingo) to connect using 10 Gb Ethernet (10 GbE) rather than
FC HBAs. This Ethernet edge provides some cost and flexibility advantages, though these were
modest at the start. But, more importantly, edge-only FCoE allows the protocol to see some real-
world deployment and experimentation.

But edge-only FCoE doesn't deliver on the “unified networking” promises made by proponents. At
best, it's a transition technology for companies wishing to leverage a large existing Fibre Channel
investment and vendors that don't yet support advanced FCoE and DCB protocols. Edge-only FCoE
will be phased out along with the base FC protocol, with multitiered and multi-hop FCoE SANs
evolving to replace them now.
A natural multi-hop FCoE SAN evolution?
Although not the only approach for Fibre Channel over Ethernet, most would expect the final
evolution of the protocol to be Ethernet switches with full FC fabric capabilities. This includes fabric
login and ACL enforcement, VE_Port ISLs and A/B fabric isolation. Such an FCoE switch is truly a
complete FC switch, and maintains the assumptions and best practices employed in the Fibre
Channel world today.
But this may not be the ideal situation. “Domain ID sprawl” might force the use of NPV even for
fully capable FCoE switches, and many sites won't want the learning curve and operational load
that comes with full FCoE SANs. Also, this political aspect might kill full FCoE before it starts:
Network administrators might push back on building out Fibre Channel over Ethernet fabrics, and
iSCSI or NFS might halt the growth of the protocol. Ultimately, it’s possible that the demise of FC
might also fatally stunt the growth of FCoE.
Three FCoE alternatives
For now, there are three different approaches taken by various vendors and architects to improve
the integration of Fibre Channel over Ethernet:
1. Ethernet-only bridging: As long as all of the Ethernet switches include the DCB extensions
required to deliver FCoE traffic correctly, they don’t need to participate in the SAN at all. They can
simply pass Ethernet frames as always, relying on the edge switches to integrate with the Fibre
Channel endpoints. Such “non-participating” switches can't pass traffic along multiple routes
without extra functionality, such as Brocade Communications Systems Inc.’s VCS Ethernet fabric
technology.
2. FIP snooping: One technique to improve the integration of FC SANs is to allow the Ethernet
switches to “snoop” on the FCoE traffic. These switches can then enforce FC settings and assist in
fabric login without being full participants in the FCoE fabric. These devices exist in a grey area,
with some architects calling such SANs “multi-hop” and others preferring the term “multitier” to
differentiate them from full Fibre Channel or Fibre Channel over Ethernet fabrics.
3. NPV switches: One issue with large Fibre Channel SANs is the proliferation of so-called “domain
IDs” and resulting limits in scalability. Both of the alternatives listed above avoid this situation
simply by not participating in the SAN fabric, but there is another alternative: NPV switches
virtualize the devices “behind” them, similar to how NPIV or NAT enable one endpoint to serve
multiple devices. This technique is also popular for FC switches, and such SANs can rightly be
called “multi-hop” even without ISLs and VE_Ports.
Each of these alternatives is a valid approach to building a multi-hop FCoE SAN when used
appropriately: Each allows multi-switch scalability beyond the limited “edge-only” approach that
was the hallmark of first-generation FCoE. But none matches the textbook multi-hop FCoE SAN
envisioned by those familiar with existing FC technologies.

4.- Satellite Role in Bin Laden Operation Emphasizes Importance of R&D
According to accounts and details of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) operation to
locate Osama bin Laden that have emerged over the past two weeks, satellite technology should
be credited for its silent, crucial role in the mission’s success.
Once the CIA located bin Laden's potential hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan, the agency was able
to share intelligence with the Pentagon, which was then able to draw upon its military satellite

imagery constellation, in a variety of wavelengths, to trace the history of the Al-Qaeda stronghold
as far back as 2001. While the reports are short on details due to the classified nature of the
operation, the satellite industry is well aware that this intelligence came courtesy of imagery
companies such as GeoEye and DigitalGlobe. Satellite also were used to track the progress of the
Navy SEAL operation that ended in bin Laden’s death, as well as to intercept calls coming over
satellite networks.
What’s both ironic and tragic about this situation is that the U.S. military’s research and
development budget, which is largely responsible for acquiring the technology used to bring bin
Laden to justice, is now under the congressional chopping block. The situation brings me back to
an interview I once conducted with a particular satellite imagery company, during which an
executive told me that when U.S. military forces first arrived in Afghanistan nearly 10 years ago,
they relied on Russian maps from the 1980s for geolocation intelligence. It took the military years
to acquire the technology it needed to properly plan and execute its operations. The latest budget
resolution tells me that congress hasn’t learned its lesson and is willing to wait another 10 years if
it has to bring another wanted terrorist to justice.

5.- Fuga de Información, el principal incidente del mes de Abril
Durante abril, un acceso no autorizado al sistema de Sony expuso los datos de 77 millones de
cuentas de usuarios de PlayStation. Entre la información extraída se encontraría nombre, dirección
(estado, ciudad y código postal), dirección de correo electrónico, fecha de nacimiento, contraseña
y usuario de PlayStation Network y, posiblemente, datos de tarjetas de crédito.
El incidente ocurrió entre el 17 y el 19 de abril y aún se desconoce cómo logró el atacante ingresar
a la base de datos. La empresa asegura estar conduciendo una investigación exhaustiva sobre la
que no dará más detalles, por tratarse de un problema de seguridad.
“Dado que todos los usuarios de PlayStation Network han sido afectados, es recomendable cambiar
la contraseña y, si desean una mayor seguridad, siempre es factible cancelar la tarjeta de crédito y
pedir su reemplazo, ya que es posible que esos datos hayan sido comprometidos y podrían afectar
su economía. Por otra parte, la exposición de datos puede hacer que circulen correos fraudulentos,
por lo tanto, recuerden siempre verificar la legitimidad de los mismos”, aseguró Federico Pacheco,
Gerente de Educación e Investigación de ESET Latinoamérica.
En relación a este incidente, vale destacar que los resultados obtenidos en el ESET Security Report
2011, muestran que una de las principales preocupaciones en materia de seguridad informática de
los profesionales latinoamericanos es la pérdida de datos o fuga de información, llegando al
42.52% del total de las respuestas. Tal como lo demuestran los últimos casos de resonancia
internacional, este tipo de ataques inquietan profundamente a las organizaciones no sólo por los
costos asociados a los mismos sino también por los riesgos relacionados a la reputación de la
empresa.
Sin embargo, el mismo estudio reveló que sólo 4 de cada 10 personas indicaron que cuentan en su
empresa con herramientas de detección de incidentes, un valor por demás bajo si tenemos en
cuenta la gran preocupación por la pérdida de datos.
Por otra parte, durante Abril, los usuarios de Skype reportaron llamadas no identificadas
informando que su equipo había sido atacado por un malware y debían visitar una página web
para desinfectar el sistema. Pero en realidad, se trataba de una amenaza denominada vishing, una
modalidad de phishing combinada con telefonía de voz sobre IP (VoIP) que hace uso de la
Ingeniería Social con el fin de obtener información sensible del usuario, como puede ser número
de tarjeta de crédito, PIN, etc.
Al atender la llamada, una voz grabada afirma que el sistema ha sido infectado y que todos los
usuarios de Microsoft Windows XP, Vista y 7 se encuentran en situación de riesgo. Por último invita
en reiteradas ocasiones a visitar una página web en la que se encuentra una amenaza del tipo
rogue, es decir, un falso antivirus que intentará cobrar al usuario por desinfectar su equipo.

“Si bien el usuario que realizó estos ataques ya ha sido reportado, es muy probable que aparezcan
nuevos intentos, por lo que se recomienda cambiar la configuración de Skype y habilitar
únicamente las llamadas entrantes de usuarios que se encuentran en nuestra lista de contactos.
Como queda evidenciado, los ciberatacantes están continuamente explorando nuevos medios para
acceder a los usuarios, por lo que es importante mantenerse atentos”, concluyó Sebastián Bortnik,
Coordinador de Awareness & Research de ESET Latinoamérica.

7.- DOCSIS Provisioning of EPON Draws More Interest
At an April interoperability testing event focused on DOCSIS Provisioning of EPON (DPoE), 13
industry suppliers converged on CableLabs to participate. The second DPoE interop event attracted
five new suppliers while overall participation increased 30 percent. Suppliers participating in the
event included Adva, Arris, Atheros, Broadcom, Ciena, CommScope, CTDI, Finisar, Huawei, MRV,
Sumitomo, Telco Systems, and ZTE.
The interop focused on the DPoE v1.0 specifications. In addition to providing provisioning
requirements for Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) equipment, version 1.0 of the DPoE

specifications defines requirements and functionality to support Metro Ethernet services such as
Ethernet Private Line (EPL).
“Significant progress has been made since the first interop event," said Curtis Knittle, director of
Digital Video Services at CableLabs, in a statement. "This interop featured several combinations of
equipment from multiple suppliers to create a DPoE network that supports Metro Ethernet services.
For these network services, all devices were provisioned using the same back-office systems
normally used to provision DOCSIS equipment.”
The next interoperability event for DPoE products is scheduled for August 22.

9.- Femtocells Important To LTE Rollouts
London’s The Femto Forum just published what it describes as an “operator-friendly” guide to Long
Term Evolution (LTE) femtocell architecture options now contained in the 3GPP standard.
According to the report, the three femtocell architecture options outlined in the LTE standard
support a wide variety of operator deployment scenarios. It details what operators need to
consider to make the most prudent architecture choice, based on their specific business and
technology circumstances. It also finds that operator choice should be dictated by how quickly they
wish to bring a femtocell service to market, their current network architecture and how widely they
intend to deploy femtocells in the longer term.
Says Professor Simon Saunders, chairman of The Femto Forum, “Femtocells bring powerful
benefits to LTE by ensuring that users receive the best possible experience and operators maximize
their investment in the new networks. The operator and vendor community in the Femto Forum
have examined the LTE standard in detail and this guide for operators firmly establishes the virtues
of the different architecture options.”
Adds Peter Jarich, mobile ecosystem service director at Current Analysis, “LTE femtocell
endorsements and trials from operators including China Mobile, NTT DoCoMo and Telefonica point
to growing interest. Of course, just as LTE requires new network architectures in the macro-cell
RAN, operators looking at LTE femtocells need to carefully plan out their small-cell architecture.”

10.- Synchronization Still a Mobile Backhaul Challenge
Network operators worldwide have commercial deployment of Ethernet backhaul underway on a
large scale now, but most of them continue to leverage time division multiplex (TDM) timing or
synchronization because it is the approach they understand best.

As operators begin the transition to packet backhaul that will ultimately see TDM timing eliminated
altogether, three primary methods have emerged as contenders for the de facto synchronization
standard that will eventually allow network operators to retire their TDM networks: The Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ (IEEE) Precise Time Protocol 1588v2 and Synchronous
Ethernet (SyncE) standards and the U.S.-based Global Positioning System. While each of these
standards has its own strengths and weaknesses, 1588v2 is the only one that possesses three key
characteristics. It can be deployed easily at any cell site irrespective of its design and location; it
has no commercial political barriers to operators adopting it; and, critically, it supports frequency
synchronization but also has a roadmap for time and phase synchronization.
For the next few months, Light Reading will be operating a Mobile Backhaul Synchronization
Briefing Center at http://www.lightreading.com/mobile_bh where you can follow the industry’s
progress on deploying 1588v2 in large-scale commercial volumes. To get started, check out these
articles and analyst notes for a discussion of the challenges network operators face in deploying
Ethernet backhaul and how they have finally begun pushing the technology out of trial mode and
into commercial deployments:
• At Last: Ethernet Backhaul Booms for Carriers

• Ethernet Europe: Busting the Backhaul Bottleneck

• Packet Backhaul Busts the 'Pain Barrier'

• P-OTS for Mobile Backhaul
For more a more detailed discussion of proposed synchronization standards, listen to this Webinar,
hosted by Heavy Reading’s Patrick Donegan. Originally broadcast in April, it provides an excellent
explanation of the key approaches and their advantages and disadvantages:
• Synchronization in Ethernet Backhaul Networks
These recent video clips from CTIA 2011 and Ethernet Europe also give us Donegan’s assessment
of the importance of a recent Symmetricom announcement regarding 1588v2 and give us insight
into how network operator BT is planning to roll out the 1588v2 standard for synchronization with
its wholesale Ethernet backhaul service for operators such as Vodafone UK:
• CTIA 2011: Backhaul Bravado

• Ethernet Europe: BT's Backhaul Boss
A comprehensive Heavy Reading Insider report, "Ethernet Backhaul Testing: Confronting the
Timing & Synchronization Challenge," which details the synchronization challenges associated with
Ethernet backhaul, is also available here for purchase.
Information is also available directly from the standards bodies and interoperability forums hashing
out synchronization issues. Check out these white papers:
• Synchronization in Packet-based Mobile Backhaul Networks.

• Progressing Advanced MPLS & Carrier Ethernet Solutions Public Multi-Vendor Interoperability Test.
Finally, be sure to mark your calendars for June 6 when Light Reading will present a Webinar that
brings together leading vendors and network operators to discuss 1588v2 implementation.

11.- LEY DE TV DIGITAL EN CHILE CONTINÚA CON POLÉMICAS

Según el Observatorio de Medios chileno, FUCATEL, sigue la controversia por un artículo del
proyecto de Ley para el tránsito a la televisión digital, que obliga a los cableoperadores a llevar en
su parrilla a los canales locales y regionales de la TV de libre recepción, en cada zona de cobertura
del territorio nacional y, además, la posibilidad que tendrían los canales abiertos de tener hasta un
50% de sus señales de pago.
La semana pasada, la Comisión de Transporte y Telecomunicaciones del Senado, donde se debate
actualmente el proyecto de ley de TV digital, escuchó, entre otras organizaciones, a Anatel que
agrupa a los canales de la TV abierta y a diversos operadores de la TV de pago, tanto satelital
como por cable. Los dos sectores en discordia reafirmaron las posturas mantenidas en este último
tiempo.
Por parte de operadores de pago intervinieron representantes de VTR, Direct TV, Telefónica
Movistar, Entel y GTD Manquehue, entre otras. Advirtieron ante los parlamentarios respecto a los
peligros de la llamada “retransmisión consentida”, ya que según ellos deja abierta la posibilidad de
que los concesionarios de radiodifusión televisiva abierta puedan cobrar a la TV de pago por el
traslado de sus señales, lo cual atentaría contra el espíritu en virtud del cual fueron otorgadas las
concesiones de libre recepción y generaría nuevos costos en los consumidores.
Anatel, por su parte, hizo un llamado a regular las relaciones entre la TV abierta y de pago, citando
los casos de Europa y Estados Unidos donde se han establecido normas de must y may carry,
reconociendo los derechos que tiene los canales de libre recepción sobre sus contenidos

en funcionamiento el sistema de portabilidad en el país.
De este modo, el Comité de la Portabilidad, entidad que representa al 100% de las empresas de
telefonía presentes en el país, dio inicio al proceso de licitación en el que sólo podrán participar
compañías internacionales con al menos dos instalaciones exitosas en mercados similares a Chile y
que actualmente operen o hayan operado este tipo de sistemas.
La empresa que se adjudique esta licitación deberá tener un único giro e instalarse físicamente en
Chile, para lo cual contarán con 120 días hasta completar el despliegue de sus sistemas.
Adicionalmente, las bases de licitación estipulan la obligatoriedad de la implementación de dos
sitios redundantes con una distancia mínima de 200 kilómetros entre ellos, para asegurar un
correcto respaldo de la información.
"Este es un paso muy importante para avanzar en la implementación de la portabilidad numérica.
Con el inicio de este proceso podemos proyectar que el 4 de julio estaremos recibiendo los sobres
para determinar qué empresa asumirá esta función", explicó el presidente del directorio del Comité
de la Portabilidad, Cristián Cortés.

El Organismo Administrador de la Portabilidad será el ente encargado de administrar los sistemas y
actuará como intermediario entre los usuarios y las distintas empresas en el proceso de validación
de las condiciones para que las personas puedan realizar el cambio de compañía telefónica.
Por su parte, el Subsecretario de Telecomunicaciones, Jorge Atton, resaltó el avance en el proceso:
"como Gobierno aprobamos la Ley, dictamos los reglamentos y ahora visamos las bases de la
licitación presentadas por el Comité de la Portabilidad, para que la industria telefónica pueda seguir
adelante con la implementación conforme al marco fijado en la legislación".
"La puesta en marcha de la Portabilidad Numérica es un gran anhelo de los usuarios y todos
debemos bregar por una implementación rápida, cautelando ante todo la calidad técnica y
eficiencia de los procesos que darán garantía de un funcionamiento óptimo del sistema", indicó el
Subsecretario.

13.- World Telecommunication and Information Society Day marks ITU’s
146th anniversary
Geneva, 17 May 2011— The 2011 World Telecommunication and Information Society Award was
presented to three eminent personalities: President Tarja Halonen of Finland, telecommunication
innovator Sam Pitroda, and CEO and co-founder of Inveneo Kristin Peterson. The Award ceremony
took place on World Telecommunication and Information Society Day, 17 May.
ITU Secretary-General Hamadoun Touré lauded the laureates who have devoted their attention
towards promoting ICTs as a means of providing a better life through global sustainability,
particularly in rural communities. “ICTs are the powerhouses of the global economy and offer real
solutions towards generating sustainable economic growth and prosperity,” Dr Touré said. “ITU is
committed to connecting the world and to ensuring that the benefits of ICTs reach the remotest
corners of the world as well as the most vulnerable communities, especially in rural areas.”
President Tarja Halonen of Finland
In her message of acceptance, President Halonen said the Award was in recognition of Finland for
its efforts to promote the use of and equal access to ICTs, both nationally and internationally.
“Finlandhas worked hard to develop an equitable and inclusive information society,” President
Halonen said. “We were the first country in the world to ensure — by legislation — that all our
citizens have the opportunity to use digital services, irrespective of their place of residence,
whether in the city or the countryside, or the level of their income.”
President Halonen added, “Communications technology can provide effective tools for the
empowerment of people and development of democracy, the respect for human rights and the rule
of law. ICTs can help raise the standard of living in all places of the world.” She said, “We have
recognized that, in order to attain the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, access to
ICTs is of key importance — especially in areas such as health care, the prevention of illnesses and
of course education. These are among the core areas of the Millennium Development Goals, and
also vitally important to the promotion of the role of women.”
President Tarja Halonen was represented by Minister of Communications Suvi Lindén.
Sam Pitroda
“I strongly believe that technology is a great social leveller and has the potential to bridge barriers
across domains, enhance access and enable a move towards a more participative and open
society,” Sam Pitroda said. “In the present information society, ICTs can play an unparalleled role
in linking people, communities, driving collaborations and improving service delivery to the poorest
of the poor.” Recognized as the architect of India’s telecom revolution, Pitroda noted that when he
decided to work in India on building India’s telecom infrastructure, he “was greeted by a fair
degree of scepticism” as it was “unheard of in the development paradigm of the time to bring
state-of-the-art technology to a third world country”. However, Pitroda saw an opportunity to make
a difference in the lives of people: “I saw in technological development an opportunity for radical

social transformation, enhancing capacity and delivering benefits and opportunities which would
allow people to cross the threshold of development.”
Sam Pitroda is currently Adviser to the Prime Minister of India on Public Information Infrastructure
and Innovations and chairs the country's National Innovation Council and the Smart Grid Task
Force set up under the aegis of the Ministry of Power. He also heads the Expert Committee on the
use of ICT in Railways. He is widely considered to have been responsible for India’s
telecommunications revolution and has been a leading campaigner to help bridge the global digital
divide.
Kristin Peterson
In accepting the World Telecommunication and Information Society Award, Kristin Peterson noted
that delivering technology to rural communities can present many challenges, including
environmental factors such as heat, dust and humidity as well as lack of power. “At Inveneo we
have made it our mission to find the right technologies that can help organizations in these
communities — schools, clinics, relief camps — successfully use ICTs to deliver better vital
services,” said Peterson. “So we’ve been building an eco-system of certified in-country ICT
entrepreneurs that we partner with around the world. Together, with these partners, we are
implementing projects that range from solar-powered computer labs going in to hundreds of
schools in Uganda and Tanzania, to building a rural broadband network in rural Haiti.”
Kristin Peterson is the co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Inveneo, a non-profit social
enterprise focusing on information and communication technologies in rural areas throughout the
developing world. She has led Inveneo’s efforts to provide ICT to deliver education, health care,
economic development and relief projects in Haiti and in 25 countries throughout sub-Saharan
Africa and South Asia. Inveneo has also worked in partnership with ITU in delivering training in
low-cost rural wireless networking in developing countries, such as Kenya, Uganda and the
Caribbean.
World Telecommunication and Information Society Day
The World Telecommunication and Information Society Award was presented on World
Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD), which marks the establishment of ITU
on 17 May, 1865. It highlights the potential of information and communication technologies (ICT)
in meeting the development and economic aspirations of societies and on the importance of the
Internet as a global resource.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
In a message delivered on videotape, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said, “On World
Telecommunication and Information Society Day, let us resolve to connect the entire world as a
means to foster peace and prosperity for all.” Noting that Information and communication
technologies continue to transform the global landscape, drive the world economy and help people
communicate across distances and cultural divides while providing access to critical resources such
as healthcare and education, Mr Ban added: “Recent events in North Africa and the Middle East
have also highlighted the catalytic role that mobile phones and social media can play in galvanizing
public opinion against repression. And in the aftermath of natural disasters, these technologies are
a vital part of the aid response, establishing lines of communication that save lives, reunite families
and help emergency relief reach people in need.”
This year’s theme for WTISD, “Better Life in Rural Communities with ICTs” brings attention to
those who reside in rural districts and far flung communities — half the global population, or nearly
3.5 billion people — representing the poorer, less educated, and more deprived cousins of the
world’s urban citizens. Among them are as many as 1.4 billion of the world’s extremely poor
people, who are also among the least connected to ICTs.
The WTISD ceremony was wrapped up with a demonstration of rural connectivity through cloud
computing. Claudio Giugliemma of the Dominic Foundation presented the Digital Inclusion Initiative
in Tanzania and the Lucy Portal on the cloud, which can provide easy access to e-services to users
in rural communities and has built-in assistive technologies in the browser for persons with
disabilities.

15.- Huawei Wins Two Awards at LTE World Summit 2011
[Amsterdam, 17 May 2011] Huawei, a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications
network solutions for operators around the world, today announced that it won two awards in
recognition of the company's achievements in LTE commercialization and product solutions at the
LTE World Summit 2011. The awards are: "Significant Progress for a Commercial Launch of LTE by
a Vendor" and "Best LTE Network Elements."
As of May 2011, Huawei has deployed over 100 SingleRAN commercial networks, which are
capable of evolving into LTE, and of those that have deployed SingleRAN networks, more than 40
operators have announced the launch or the imminent launch of distinct LTE services.

In 2010, Huawei's LTE eNodeB shipment was ranked number one in the world, and Huawei won
the "Significant Progress for a Commercial Launch of LTE by a Vendor" award at the LTE Summit
2011, which recognized Huawei's endeavors and achievements in the commercial rollout of LTE.
Huawei's SingleRAN 5-Band 3-Mode 1-Cabinet solution (BTS 3900L), which won the "Best LTE
Network Elements" award, leverages a sole cabinet to support up to three technologies across five
frequency bands, allowing for the coexistence and interoperability of GSM/UMTS/LTE networks to
make true convergence a reality and to minimize costs for operators. This solution has been
selected by leading operators worldwide, including Vodafone Germany and TeliaSonera Norway, to
replace their outdated legacy base stations while simultaneously initiating their LTE network
deployment.
"Huawei has invested heavily in the development of the LTE industry since 2004, having
contributed world-class LTE technologies, patents, standards and commercial experiences," said
Ying Weimin, President of LTE Product Line, Huawei. "Huawei's advanced LTE technology and
SingleRAN LTE solution incorporates GSM/UMTS/LTE as three features to help operators realize
network development strategies from the perspective of end-to-end O&M and to maximize the
value of each carrier's core assets. Huawei has managed to create a successful business model
that enables operators around the world to remain profitable while meeting an unprecedented
demand for mobile broadband services anywhere and anytime."
