The devastating earthquake which struck in Haiti on January 12th 2010 merely 10 miles from the capital city of Port-au-Prince created a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions affecting more than 20 per cent of Haiti’s 9 million residents.

Governments worldwide immediately offered their support. The United States and China sent planes full of supplies with other countries and millions of individuals joining to pledge their support and donations during this humanitarian disaster.

Disasters in the form of natural catastrophe, such as earthquakes or hurricanes, or terrorist attacks and accidents can occur at any time and the usual modes of communication might be lost or cease to work in such a crisis. These disasters have a devastating impact on human life, economy and environment.

The response phase following any disaster involves the immediate mobilization of the necessary emergency services and first responders in the disaster area. This is likely to include a first wave of core emergency services, such as the fire service, police, military and ambulance crews who may have their own existing local or tactical form of communications systems and ...

Communication is a key component in human life and the world has been transformed by the ability to communicate more efficiently. Society has grown from oral communication, to written text, telephones, and now the power of the internet. It would seem as communication technology increases such as the power of internet ready cell phones that the world itself has been made a little smaller. Consider that 50 years ago it was impossible for 200 nations to chat simultaneously and now with Twitter and Facebook whole nations are connected in each other’s languages shooting the breeze about the daily news. What if I told you today there was a social network so powerful that you could chat in the throne room of Heaven from your living room in a matter of seconds? What if God were to ask you can we talk?

The truth is that technology to speak to God in heaven has always existed it is called prayer. The beautiful thing about prayer that no matter where I am in the world I can instantly be in the presence of God without even batting an eye. I could be in Canada and tell God about an earthquake in Haiti and spiritually God is working in Haiti on my behalf even though I never left ... Read More >>

A recent Harris Interactive survey for Whitepages.com released findings on what communication modes are most open to misunderstanding. Not surprisingly, 80% of adults found it most easy to misinterpret the tone of e-mail. Seventy-eight percent found text messages to be misleading, while 71% could also be put off by letters. Consider this: all these modes are flat, one-sided genres that allow the reader to intuit just about anything into the mix.

In our crazy busy world, how often do we automatically push the send key and instantly regret that action? Or how about the mistake of using upper case letters and the reader thinks he is being shouted at? Then too, in the rush to respond and be brief, single line messages can come across as terse, harsh and often inflammatory. Small wonder that e-mail might also stand for escalation and error.

Words are just that: words. But in the English language, the nuances of verbal inflection and facial expressions make all the difference in true communication. Read the phrase “What ever possessed you to come to this conclusion?” The text message version might even be “Are you nuts!” Chances are that you ... Read More >>

The cordless phones have taken communication to next higher level. Unlike other landline, these are portable phones and based on the wireless technology. These phones are basically makes use of radio waves to transmit and receive digital signals. The analog or digital signals are first transmitted from handset to the base station.

The phone works on the concept of DECT technology which was first introduced by European countries. As its name suggest, these phones don’t contain any wire which allows users to roam from one place to another. With advances in technology, these large boxes became compact and speaker/receiver was integrated as one.

Cordless phone was not popular enough because of its short battery life. But technological advancements like long battery life with other added advantages made it more popular later on. Due to light weight, trendy looks, pocket-sized, free from wires etc. They are now competing with the cell phones in terms of look, features and facilities.

The main benefit of this is that as these devices are wireless so these can be used in various places such as homes, offices, factories and other work places.It can be ... Read More >>

Two way communication systems are revolutionizing the world today. New applications are being invented to enhance the communication properties and to ensure secured data transfer modes. Highly top secret data or information that needs to be transmitted require a high frequency and totally secured radio frequency distribution system/equipment. Especially military and government sources are in dire need of such a highly competitive system to maintain a safe transfer of their data and information.

Radio communication used to cover a huge area or a place that needs proper distribution channels. This will provide uninterrupted radio frequency control to and from the antenna. Remote areas or during war time the need for such undisturbed communication is very important. Generally the equipment used consists of routers. These routers are capable of transmitting and receiving multiple signals to and from the antenna or small set of available antennas with the help of frequency agile interference. Using this technology allows complete communication range even during simultaneous operation of the communication system.

Communication Technology is being updated day to day and ... Read More >>

Wireless technology has literally changed our lives. This up and coming method of communication has literally changed the way we live. Many of us cannot imagine a day without using a wireless device. In fact, we use them so much, that we barely recognize them as wireless anymore.

Telephone lines were originally designed to send news reports. Ever heard of getting something over the wire? Journalists still refer to their Associated Press reports as coming over the AP wire, though they most likely travel through the air like all other pieces of information. The invention of the radio demolished the idea of news sent over a wire. In fact, it completely destroyed the concept of the telegraph and eventually the landline telephone.

Computer networking works in a similar manner. Who would choose an immobile stationary system over a wireless one? Why would you choose to actually be chained to a desk when you could move freely about, accessing the internet and other files on a network from the comfort of a couch, a recliner, or a coffee shop. Additionally, while many believe that wireless costs more, this price too is going down, and soon anyone will be able to afford a ... Read More >>

There has been a lot of press coverage lately about a new option for getting online if you’re too far away from a cable internet connection and if DSL isn’t a viable source. Just like with satellite tv, this satellite version of getting on the internet relies on sending signals into space and back again to provide coverage just about anywhere on the whole planet, not just in the United States. In short, it’s a great and incredible option for those who previously didn’t have a way to get online, or for anyone whose only option was the increasingly slow and impossible-to-use dial-up.

But before making the switch to satellite internet, it’s helpful to understand how the technology works. Here is a simple how-to that explains exactly what goes on from the reaches of space to your very living room. Best of all, unlike other sources, that try to over complicate things with technical terms and difficult concepts, anyone will be able to understand this.

First, it helps to understand what a satellite actually does, and how it differs from other options for getting online. Unlike terrestrial services, which rely on connections that are based on ... Read More >>
