in hand technology there's no better place in the mobile world congress in barcelona. now this city is more often associated with sun sightseeing and sangria into february the regional capital was transformed into the center of the mobile two left in the universe is biggest tech firms were there to show off their latest offering and highlight what to expect in the future mainstays like samsung extolling the virtues of its note and hype coming the release of the next generation galaxy which by the way took home the prize for smartphone of the year but also making a splash was a name not everyone's familiar with china's such a break from its low cost past and mix it up with the big boys according to the latest estimates there are more than six. thousand people right now and that's. by two thousand and fifteen which means one point three connections for each person

on the planet and whether you're interested in content or the behind the scenes nuts and bolts the gathering has something for everyone all told around seventy thousand people descended on the field exhibition center week from high tech fun. and motion companies some with their own entertainment weren't going to be left out of the party on hand to show off its video messaging technology and there were those that do the work site and peter service which make sure your mobile purchases are carried out smoothly there were also big hitters like the search engine enticing device makers quit their. three d. interface there's also the point you started off the clock which is created a multipurpose after platform and sells its services to any company needing their experience development skills regardless of the country of origin one topic that was on everyone's lips was how to deal with growing data demand. we're moving through what we call the gigabyte society basically means we're using more and more

data on the move. we are believing now that all of us in average joe you think you go by earth day in two thousand and twenty and you give customers all the access they need russian companies like yoda have been doing all the chance to boost capacity with a mind to get ahead of the curve this state petersburg based innovative company rolled out one of the world's largest why max networks on the globe and given that growing traffic is a worldwide issue they even took their know how and technology abroad meeting of the central american state of nicaragua december two thousand and nine saw the launch of their four g. network in capital managua and since that time they also got a foothold with the imax networks and improved however since all that work there's been a major shift in the world of mobile internet despite its initial advantage why macs appears to be losing the fight against top incoming l.t.e. . when to migrate our existing why not start work over the next few months.

to l.t.e. as well as launching signals so we're presently in the progress of launching novosibirsk and we will. look to swap moscow in the very near future in april and we have sochi across the north and st petersburg and. you know periodic way after that you know there's still a good amount of just based as to the relative bandages of why mexico t.-e. the two seem to offer roughly equivalent optimal performance and despite the lean towards it. t.-e. is actually considered by the international telecommunications as a technology. like higher potential speeds in the future and lower latency operators around the globe decided that l.t.e. is the way to go and the other early adopters of why mix technology. of existing links and launch

a brand new. despite the costs involved there seems to be a pressing need to do so. their traffic in russia is huge our network of why max. has. one characteristic of data compared to other countries just from. if you compare to two or three g. networks. you know our capacities are someplace in the neighborhood of one point. two terabytes per subscriber. this is a beta. or two and three g. world that's unheard of so l.t.e. will give us new opportunities to expand that and give us much more greater rewards and originally it looked as if all the top operators in russia were going to hook up and develop l.t.e. networks together all those plans for one you have since fallen by the wayside. and

made a phone are still plenty piggybacking off of your own t. exchanging equipment for access to the eventual network. one of russia's so-called big three operators again she yes has decided to go it alone and is developing its very own l.t.e. network. and that's expected to come to moscow this april with further expansion plans to other cities in the following months. of the company's technicians watchful traffic flows. along with the existing two and three g. ones here station in central moscow companies should have. serious competition those it in ts in terms of size does matter as a major integrated operator when serious second and third generation network infrastructure already in place will be able to rollout on new networks much more quickly it's no secret that at least initially l.c.d. networks will be relatively limited in their coverage in situations where all four g. network is unavailable will be able to give our clients and users the opportunity to

take advantage of all our network similar taney asli in the so-called see mode where you can switch from one network to another without losing your connection and in order to offer such an instruction service for more pay stations like this have to be installed that's because the l.t.e. network in russia requires significantly more really points. in moscow alone several thousand stations are to be equipped for it hasn't been officially announced nokia siemens networks has been chosen to provide the necessary equipment for moscow and that hardware will be produced right here in russia at the company's facility in thomson nokia siemens has opted to rely on the country's solid engine european research base to help design many of the companies of those products and that's something the exact same as worked out quite well. we're happy to be counted among the leaders at the very least where the first to have launched a plan to operate according to the specific needs of russia and countries of the

c.i.s. i'm not able to disclose any names or comment but well ready have two large l.t. contracts for russia i think good solid evidence that our strategy has been successful. woman the reasons the company has done so well is that they teamed up with a top micro chip maker. in a high tech hub in siberia that encourages investment in the country's engineering and production base with over twenty years experience mostly superfast semiconductors gives nokia simmons something that other partners simply couldn't for example the russian for this team. every year. so russia. on the world. all. the preparation is still quite low so.

as we speak actually it's happening right now. into russia. all of the operate. from able. to do other things on people's minds in barcelona the beautiful weather during the congress was just begging for visitors to go well pleased with the city with so many signs however it was hard to know what to see first. some of the. street. unfamiliar has never been easier for a more convenient thanks to the growing computing power in the palm of our hands. and as the technology continues unabated leak the best way to find out all you need to know requires nothing more than a few probing questions to weave the weather today show.

the new fifty both the help of some of the latest. you'll be sure not to miss a thing. and one of the newest such apps comes from innovations congress not. just in the field this firm has expanded from its humble beginnings of just a handful employees to a skilled team of several hundred strong ever friends is a kind of one program that's similar to apple's much hyped voice activated siri. according to these developers they can buy serious usefulness with a little fun instead of a simple black screen they have a whole host of characters with which to interact. we all sorts of animated characters such as girls cute pets and all kinds of other personalities that the user can interact with so they can have a range of moods from good to bad and can hold various conversations we focus more

on entertainment in this application rather than on functionality. it's quite an ambitious task to try and make something better than apple so we have a lot of work ahead of us. but what we're trying to achieve is not to be better but to be a bit different. so in an effort to make it more fun and perhaps more interesting the team has created characters like brazier but in particular a couple others like the charm school early on with the latest voice recognition technology this hopeful little guy who killed all of your requests with a simple command looking keep you abreast of the latest news and make further suggestions based on your reaction to what he's already shown you also can give you an early heads up about the weather so you will be stuck in the rain with no umbrella if you're looking to kill a little time a winter friends in real life we can show you videos to make the time fried by.

another ever friends app the still work in progress but they're doing all they can to add new features for example designers here offices in st petersburg are currently working to come out with new personalities different wardrobes and expanded functionality it's more interesting for people like me are there plans to come out with real time rendering a three d. interface and improvements in artificial intelligence. also constantly working to better their. five piece voice recognition software. early success they're confident that the best is still yet to come. it's nearly one million subscribers in just the first six weeks that it's been on the market and it currently has the highest rating with a score of four point six out of five among similar products on the market which are as yet few in number but keep emerging there will be a lot of animated characters and they will be able to do all sorts of things including assisting you with mobile shopping but you'll be able to tell them to

show tickets for you via voice commands all this will be available through voice feature and as they kid track of your preferences and interests they'll be able to suggest things like what to do in your free time also for instance if you have a child prior to his or her birthday and can suggest a gift appropriate for the child's age. book and also recommend a cell it can deliver right to. dissent truth is that behind every blond looks the beast interested mostly in you spending money but seriously most roads in the world seem to lead to retail many of the latest programs including those from high freq look to match potential buyers with prospective retailers the company's deal hunter out for example not only shows you nearby stores and restaurants but to those with special deals at the moment there's also a pair of apps to get you in the air there smartest programs can help you find temporary sales as well as compare prices for flights in general certainly useful for you and me but even more so for the sellers taking part. one retail technology

that. is near field communication and the ever active team that i free is visiting themselves here as well earlier this year they signed a partnership agreement with conductors no i freeze goal is to find solutions for. infrastructure an application in russia like these interactive ads for the basics of this technology have been around for a while but only recently has it found its way into your very pockets. so what we have today is very big. the emergence of an iffy in from our phones going for it we're going to have additional smartphone for example there are forty eight smart phones on the market today within a few technology and that equates to an you know tens of millions of units by a share the estimates are between thirty to forty thirty five forty million units going into next year we're talking about something in the estimates of seventy two hundred million units or the market analysts and then as you go forward you'll see

the higher tax rate even if the not just going to work on devices but also in tablets of well as a number of compatible devices grows so too will the companies investing in the necessary infrastructure as i free show room highlights there are more uses than you might expect. i'm going to ball phone is better than a plastic card because it has a screen and it can use a wireless connection to upload applications and there are a variety of areas where you can use these mobile phones in plastic cards but in your face since using n.f.c. to pay at a vending machine is simple well you have to do is launch the relevant application and click the make payments i call and then you put your phone next to the receiver and the retail operation is carried out or furthermore i can use my mobile as a pos through ten stalls i just let the receive a scan rates and walk through. my laces project is the only one school company which provides a kind of service was simply just but schools the student receives an id card which serves as a pulse for entering an x.

thing the school students paired so notified via text message each time they come into a leaf and students can also use the same color to pay for lunch the school will also know how many students that they have that day and therefore how many meals they need to prepare for the prospects of and see technology come from the fact that it's a universal instrument for making payments and keeping track of assorted discounts and other applications offered to an individual if they were able to usual mobiles wireless connection to upload electronic documents a money various discounts to sex trafficking we hope this technology will become a universal tool in the future will become quite commonplace. and technology. company tronics manufacturers.

another.

are working to put. in a new way simply by downloading their good roads after anyone can help the new school authorities spot that roads more quickly and ideally more effectively and it's something we can all help with just by going about their daily routines. do you remember that we need to get the gaming component done by april.

also we have to drop the game logic and us crystal into finish drawing older vehicles yeah after graduation we'll have more time to get it done. was that one there was the yellow one. beautifully simple idea to harness computing power spring from a project here at the st petersburg state polytechnic university. as you drive around with your smartphone a sensor with it called an accelerometer takes readings noting the vibrations caused by bumps or potholes their application puts that information into a file and onto their server where it's integrated with a map based on g.p.s. readings all this at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods of the right number of ways to monitor roads such as photo monitoring and laser monitoring which is special mobile laboratories that can cost up to one million dollars. one of those other certainly

options is more vile laboratory operated by the russian company craigie own it drives around and gathering useful data about the roads themselves as well as just about any other object within sight using digital cameras on the top of the vehicle that records information about the surface below the collected data are available for an operator. but also how it fitted with a g.p.s. module to navigation system which allows all the info to be synchronized and later processed in the office. board is developed and produced by the company which means it could be fitted to be attached to any make. these mobile labs at least in part also use an excellent they're basically big boxes on wheels about two meters i strive around town essentially do the exact same thing that i was small mobile phones are capable of doing. all of this young. only as useful accurate. bodies are going to be able to use information innovators it has to be spot on

that's why it's important for them to refine their algorithms and integration programs as much as possible. and the more information that comes in from app users the more accurate their measurements will be considering that russian federal authorities around seven million dollars a year. to such costs. and thanks to their program can differentiate between potholes that need attention and things like speed bumps. are more inclined to leave in place. previously these sensors were mainly used for games and other quite silly things. come up with a way to use them in a totally different way. with experience and working with programming these kinds of sensors that should be doing things that would make our world better. and anyone wanting to make life

a little smoother will soon be able to peacock teams good roads program is due to hit the app store on april first. another thing that was evident at the mobile world congress back in barcelona is the rise of enjoyed an impression only aided by apple's absence from the festivities at their sprawling exhibition you can feel the excitement energy is turning their platform into a constant rich ecosystem and with the recent launch of latest version of ice cream sandwich it's likely only going to grow. but despite what it looks like it's more than just games for those committed to the further development of enjoy all the apps and other developments are useless if your mobile device is corrupted by malware or even worse stolen as a platform grows in popularity the threats to android based products are on the rise as well just last december security firms an explosion in the number of programs targeting android open operating system to guard against those increasing

risks there's one russian company that announced their response to these would be bad guys. with us for a long time now we've got a product for small which protects uses of such devices called kaspersky mobile security and this year we've expanded our product range to cover tablets by introducing can spend template security now this program is a one stop shop for protecting the device as you might expect it comes with a powerful antivirus program upon which conspiracy has built its reputation and it's incorporated the latest cloud technology to give you one more layer of security there's also an extremely handy g.p.s. location function so even if you're the most forgetful person in the world you can always rest assured you know where your tablet is for example if you left it in the cab all it takes is a few clicks of the mouse and while you know precisely where to find it. they share the same platform that is android the way people use tablets and smartphones is

actually quite different it would be rather difficult to make calls with a template. security software include school restriction text message anti spam features they're not included in the program for tablets and on the flip side tablets are more convenient for surfing the web so we added as special web access to malicious phishing websites and as a result of the many years spotting those nasty computer codes is one of the best companies out there to keep your device safe they recently announced that. where samples in their database they seeded ten thousand and in an independent test their software was only one of two that identified all the malicious programs in the same test over half the forty one antivirus programs fail to stop most of the six hundred malicious apps but like so many things in this world their technology could be used not just for good but also for evil. security as

well as all of our products employs powerful technology like low level access to files and what not true this technology could be used in malware but of course it all depends on how it's applied. i'm one hundred percent sure that not a single antivirus software vendor is doing that well actually i do know one exception but i won't give the name of a competitor here. they don't use these technologies to hama anyone. because if they do it once all of their business will be ruined overnight. so you can be sure that there are no programs or software gathering some kind of information that we're going to actually need information that could be strictly confidential. but as mobile devices like tablets become more popular viruses aren't the only threat out there for that reason because spears his latest project comes equipped with antitheft software if someone happens to nab your tab all you have to do is

log into your personal account and switch on the program that triggers kaspersky secret mugshot application which snaps a series of pictures of the thief you can also log into a link in a confidential files on your android tab whatever your preferred to buy or operating system developers like those you see today will help make sure that you stay connected wherever you might be so that they can buy to barcelona and the mobile world congress will be next time until then enjoy the ride. the ticket. into. the.
