I work at a company where they are having problems because PPPoe authenticated by Juniper is not reaching speeds above 400mbps on WiFi, when we authenticate outside of Juniper it already gives one gig, which is the limit of the OLT port. And many partners say that the Huawei Ne8000 works very well (in addition to being cheaper) and also goes much faster. Anyone to give an opinion?

I'm from Brazil, don't really know if things are different in this business out there.

Hey everyone,

Looking for a new W2 position and casting a wide net here.  We are in the process of relocating to Pleasant Prairie, WI and on I’m the hunt for work.  I’ve been in telecom for 15 years and have done everything from hands-on field work to managing deployment/construction programs.   I have served multiple roles from been an individual contributor to leading medium sized (+/-50 folks) teams and everywhere in between. I have deployed all sorts of networks/networking equipment from SCADA systems, typical carrier builds (cell, wireless, AAV, OSP… all the hits) , private networks for utilities, civil work, raw lands, lots of rooftops, typical tower stuff, you get the idea.  I’m more than competent to take any project/program and run with it from an administrative standpoint with minimal ramp time.  Not afraid to get into the field for site visits and customer interactions but I’m best at managing budgets/milestones/forecasts etc.; typical P&L duties.

I’m more than comfortable working remotely or, Pleasant Prairie is half-way between Milwaukee and Chicago so if I need to be ‘in the office’ it’d need to be somewhere between Milwaukee/Chicago areas.

If you/somewhere you know is looking for a competent PM please connect the dots as I’m ready to jump in wherever.  

Curious what positive experiences IT leaders have had with VoIP providers. Who are the best and why?

I’m looking into starting a business for building turnkey telecom sites Any thoughts? Would there be any market for this?

Hey y’all, I have a question(s) regarding comm tower leases.

I live in SC and have two properties that I would like to discuss tower lease possibilities. However, I have no idea how to go about it.

Any input? TIA

Hello all,

Just wondering if anyone could answer a question regarding BT business 4g assure.

I have a BT business broadband line and included is the 4g back up. I currently don't use the BT hub or any kit (have ubiquiti gear) so the 4g assure portion of my broadband plan isnt used as it won't work with the ubiquiti gear.

I've just bought a house which doesn't currently have a phone line installed. It's going to be 10-14 days. (The house is about 100meters away from the business premises)

Does anyone know if the BT hub and 4g assure is rather advanced and if I were to take it to the new house would the 4g portion of the gear check to see if my ubiquiti gear is connected and working on the line and not work or is the BT hub and 4g assure quite basic in so much as. Hub can't connect to broadband (as theres no working line), please turn 4g on and my business premises can still work online as well?

Just wondering if this is a way I can tie myself over until the install happens.

Good day, I am an electrical engineering student specializing in telecommunications. For my project, I am creating an app that allows the transmission of text messages between mobile phones without relying on the cellular network or the Internet. But I really just need help with the connectivity of the devices for the project. It is limited to only two (2) phones. The objectives are

1. Design a customised mobile application for Android and IOS phones that enables text communication over a WIFI network to an application running on a Linux/Unix server.

2. Design and develop a communication converter system (CCS) that sets up a communication channel between devices on a Wi-Fi network and other devices on other Wi-Fi networks interconnected over a low-power, wide-area wireless network.

3. Choose a wireless radio and use it to design a low-power wide-area mesh network (LPWAMN) that allows communication over a 10-square-mile radius. Design and implement a scale-down network that allows communication on the UWI Mona campus. Use text communication between nodes on the network to demonstrate interconnectivity.

4. Attach two CCS to WIFI hotspots at different sections of the network. Use two mobile phones at each location and start text communication between them.

5. The emergency communication network should be self-powered.  Conduct a power analysis of the CCS and WIFI router and design a solar PV system that can power the devices for 48 hours without sunlight.

The low power wide area mesh network (LPWAMN) should be implemented with off-the-shelf radios. Use a single-board computer (raspberry pi) to communicate between the device on the WIFI network and the devices over the LPWAMN. Develop the necessary protocols that allow communication between mobile applications on the devices on different sides of the network. This project requires a mobile application development suite, Python, Linux/Unix.

From my understanding, at each node, there is a phone that communicates to an esp32 using Wifi, then we connect a LoRa module to the esp 32 to send the message over a long range. The message is then sent to the raspberry pi which stores the message and is also connected to another LoRa module to send to another node. Does this configuration work? I am using flutter to build the app and arduino for hardware. Any recommendations for improvement ?

Hi! I live in an area that has notoriously high terrestrial radiation levels. (Average households radon at around 1342 Bq/m3 )
My problem is - i cannot use internet to play video games due to extreme latency. My mobile network has too high latency and it is super unstable. This is something that is very common in the area. They can't build cables since it's a tightly build old wooden houses in a steep gravel esker, so everyone has to rely on mobile network.
The city centre is 2km away and there should be plenty of base stations, macrocells and picocells nearby, nearest being 150m away. Still, the whole area suffers from this.

I've been wondering that could these 2 be related to each other, or what is causing this phenomenon? Could the high ground radiation (high radon levels from the ground) block signals kinda like a faraday cage? Like i don't have problems with my 4G or 5G elsewhere at least in Finland, basically 5G is almost in every corner.

Speedtest gives me 0,15mbps and 2000ms latency from time to time with 5G and 1mbps and 800ms latency on 4G. Randomly works around 10mbps, even if the max speed is 300mbps - i've only ever gotten those speeds while not at home here.

I don’t know if it will be call forwarding but here is what I am trying to implement. When I get a call from a certain number based on how I configured it I want to place the call to another number in my contact list. The person that this call will be routed to should see the caller ID of my phone number and not the call that I’m getting.

TRAI's introduction of a ₹20 recharge plan with a 30-day validity is a fantastic move, especially for low-income and budget-conscious users. This is a much-needed step towards affordability and fairness in the telecom sector.

For years, users have struggled with confusing validity cycles and higher costs for short-term plans. A 30-day cycle for just ₹20 ensures predictability and makes telecom services more accessible to everyone, especially those who only need basic connectivity.

Kudos to TRAI for prioritizing consumer welfare! This will undoubtedly make a big difference for rural users, students, and people with limited income. Hopefully, we see more such initiatives in the future.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you think this will lead to more competitive pricing in the telecom market?

Before implementing 5G, they promoted an innovative technology called D2D (Device-to-Device), which would be natively integrated into the protocol.

It would be like Bluetooth, but with a range of up to 500 meters, capable of connecting to multiple devices simultaneously.

This would bring several benefits, P2P networks with smartphones, long distance local area networks, routing in mesh networks, communication between cars and homes, etc.

However, today 5G is massively implemented and D2D technology has been forgotten, abandoned. Nobody talks about it anymore in relation to 5G. Could it be fear on the part of the big operators and the government of losing control? What happened??!!

Hello, I've just acquired a second generation Adtran Total Access 924 and an RJ21 to RJ11 "hydra" cable. I'm looking to use this and a bank of modems to provide low speed dial up internet to hobbyists who have old equipment and would like to experience it, or have no other choice. The modem bank is already operating and ready to go (Tested locally with a Teltone TLS5).

My question is regarding setup for the Adtran, I would like to forward any 6 analog lines to an external VoIP service or server. Are there any good resources or documents I can use to learn how to set this device up for this purpose? Can I make all ports ring with the same number, to ease connections from users and allow the server to load balance itself?

I'm led to understand that this is probably a massively overkill unit for my purposes, but it was a whopping give dollars at my local surplus store.

My father worked in the telecom industry his whole career, specifically AT&T in the 90s to 2009. He passed away recently and left an account that we have no idea where it came from. I am looking for information on AT&T employee savings accounts that the company offered in that timeframe. Specifically IRAs or 401ks.. financial institutions they used?

Hi! Is there anyone who can help to receive dvbs2 from es'hail satellite (Beacon) with a gnuradio application?

Hi! Is there anyone who can help to receive dvbs2 from es'hail satellite (Beacon) with a gnuradio application? I do not have some blocks: two decoders.

Anyone know of a service that offers virtual numbers from foreign countries where I can receive calls, but more importantly, Text Messages via web?

A company I used to work for in the past was part of the AT&T partner exchange, and they released a list several times a year that showed all of the fiber lit buildings and high rises on their network. It was in the form of a huge Excel spreadsheet. Any AT&T partners on here that can share with me the updated most recent list? Thanks.

I'm based in the UK and doing a telecom job for a big company. I am responsible for messaging kits in the lab 5 years for SMS MMS CMAS and etc. I'm holding a cyber security MSc as well. So I do need advice to boost up my CV and learn new skills. Can anyone suggest or guide me please?
