the very latest in handheld technology there's no better place in the world congress in barcelona. now this city is more often associated with sun sightseeing and sangria for the end of february the regional capital was transformed into the center of the mobile to lessen the universe only gives biggest tech firms were there to show off their latest offerings and highlight what to expect in the future mainstays like samsung were extolling the virtues of its note and hype the upcoming release of the next generation galaxy which by the way to come the price for the best smartphone of the year but also making a splash were some names not everyone's familiar with china's cool way sought to break from its low cost past and mix it up with the big boys according to the latest estimates there are more than six billion viruses in people's hands right now and that's set to jump to nine billion play two thousand and fifteen which means one point three connections for each person on the planet and whether you're interested in content devices for the behind the scenes nuts and bolts the

gathering in barcelona had something for everyone all told around seventy thousand people descended on the fuel exhibition center become high tech fun. and motion companies some with their own entertainment were going to be left out of the party the boss was on hand to show off its video messaging technology and there were those that do the work out of sight 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 with their. three d. interface there is also the point you started october which is created a multi purpose after platform and sells its services to any company needing their experience development skills but regardless of the country of origin one topic that was on everyone's lips was how to deal with growing data demands. we are moving through what we call the gigabytes of science basically means that we're using more and more data on the move. we are believing now that all of us

in average will use to go by earth day in two thousand and twenty and to give customers all the access they need russian companies like yoda have been doing all the chance of boost capacity with a mind to get ahead of the curve this a petersburg based innovative company read 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 grabbed a foothold with y. maps networks embellished improved however since all that work there's been a major shift in the world of mobile internet despite its initial advantage why max appears to be losing the fight against top incoming l.t.e. . we plan to migrate our existing one that's network over the next few months.

to l.t.e. as well as launch incidence so we're presently in the progress of. launching novosibirsk and we will. look to swap moscow in the very near future. and we have sochi across the north and st petersburg and. you know theoretically after that now there's still a good amount of debate as to the relativist manages of why mexico t.-e. the two seem to offer roughly equivalent formats and despite the leader with the. eve is actually considered by the international telecommunications as a. higher potential in the future and lower latency operators around the globe decided that l.t.e. is the way to go and. technology. existing links and launch a brand new. pressing need to do so. traffic

in russia is huge our network. has. a beta compared to other countries. compared to two or three g. networks. are someplace in the neighborhood of one point. two terabytes per subscriber. this is a beta so. that's. will give us new opportunities to expand that and give us much more greater. originally it looked as if all the top operators were going to hook up and develop one major l.t.e. networks together all those plans for when you have since fallen by the wayside. and maybe are still plenty piggybacking off of. exchanging equipment for access to

the eventual network. of russia's so-called big three operators n.-g.'s has decided to go it alone and is developing its very own l.t.e. network. and that's expected to. further expansion plans of other cities in the following months. of the company's technicians. traffic flows. along with the existing. station in central moscow well the companies should have. serious competition those it in ts hope that in terms of size does matter as a major integrated operator with serious second and third generation network infrastructure already in place will be able to roll out on new networks much more quickly there's no secret that at least initially l.t.e. 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 use the opportunity to take advantage of all our network simultaneously and the so-called seamless 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 because the l.t.e. network in russia will require significantly more really points. in moscow alone several thousand stations are to be equipped but 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 the shop 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 say was worked out quite well. that you were happy to be counted among the leaders at the very least where the first to have launched a plan that operates according to the specific needs of russia and countries of the c.i.s.

i'm not able to disclose any names at the moment but will ready have two large contracts for russia i think it's solid evidence that our strategy has been successful. one of the reasons the company has done so well is that they teamed up with a top micro chip maker out 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 because it gives nokia siemens something that other partners simply couldn't for example the russian for just. technologies to make. around ten thousand such every year and. those could soon be needed so russia has. the world. all. the preparation is still quite low so we can expect the. operating in russia as we speak it's happening right

now are additional technologies coming. into russia. so all of. the other things on people's minds in barcelona the beautiful weather during the congress was just begging for visitors to go well at least for the city with so many sites however it was hard to know what to see first with. some of the. street. getting around an unfamiliar area has never been easier for a more convenient growing computing power in the palm of our hands. and as the technology continues to develop. the best way to find out all you need requires nothing more than a few probing questions still with the weather today heat kills. it's always tough

for the new city to help us on the way to staff here in barcelona not to miss. the will of the newest such apps comes from a free innovations congress not just there to check out the latest in the field this fast growing firm has expanded from its humble beginnings of just a handful employees to a skilled team of several hundred strong. is the kind of program that similar much voice activated siri. according to these developers they combined series usefulness with a little fun instead of a simple flat screen they have a whole host of characters with which to interact. we all sorts of animated characters such as girls kid pets aliens and all kinds of other personalities that music 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 misapplication 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 me a bit different. so in an effort to make it more fun and perhaps more interesting the team has created characters like drain easier for your particular couple there are others like the charming spoony armed with the latest voice recognition technology this helpful little guy who feels all of your requests with a simple command you can address 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 and grow up if you're looking to kill a little time when your friends in real life to show you new video to make the time ride by. another ever friends apt is still

a 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 the more interesting for people like me are the plans to come out with real time a three d. interface and improvements in artificial intelligence. closer constantly working to better their l u eight and h.t.m.l. five piece voice recognition software despite their early success they're confident that the best is still yet to come. posts 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 philby a lot of animated characters and they will be able to do all sorts of things including assisting you with shopping you'll be able to tell them to shop for you

via voice commands all this will be available through voice commands and as they keep 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 a week prior to his or her birthday and can suggest a gift appropriate for the child. book and also recommend a seller that can deliver it right to. the center it is that behind every blond looks of beast interested mostly in you spending money but seriously most roads in the arab world seem to lead to retail many of the latest programs including those from my free looks to match potential buyers with prospective retailers the company's deal hunter app 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 they're smartest programs can help you find temporary sales as well simply or prices for flights in general certainly useful for you and me but even more so for the sellers taking part. one retail technology

. near field communication and the ever active team i free is is in themselves here as well earlier this year they signed a partnership agreement with conductors. to find solutions for. infrastructure an application in russia like these interactive ads and 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 this. the emergence of an iffy in from our phone going forward to have additional smartphone for example there are forty eight smartphones on the market today within a few technology and that equates through and you know tens of millions of units last year the effort for between thirty to forty thirty five forty million units going into next year we're talking about something in the estimates of seventy to one hundred million units for the market analysts and then as we go forward you'll see the higher tax rate even if the not just in the smartphone devices but also

into tablets as well as the 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. a mobile 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 and plastic cards in your face since using n.f.c. to pay at a vending machine is simple only have to do is most of the relevant application in click the make payment icon and then you put your phone next to the receiver kind of retail operation is carried out furthermore i can use my mobile as a pos through its hands i just let the receive a stand and walk through. this project is the only school company which provides a kind of service was impeached but schools the student receives an id card which serves as a policy for entering and exiting the school students parents and notified via text

message he's time may come into a leaf and students can also use the same color to pay for lunch disco will also know how many students are there that day and therefore how many meals they need to prepare for the prospects of an f.c. 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 you'll be able to usual mobiles wireless connection to upload electronic documents a money various discounts to cetera if we had this technology will become a universal too in the future it will become quite commonplace. you. know some of you out there might be frightened by the mere mention of things like n.f.c. and its peace technology radio frequency identification. but in reality. for example. russia's leading michel electronics company say tronics manufactures chips and. three

hundred million chips every year. they're finding their place in an increasing number of devices and not just. the same. energy free memory chips. can transmit over different frequencies at different distances. passing through automatic another for. being used to keep track of their collections and. to look after all their goods and. there's a similar project underway. thanks to. products.

you don't have to. and if you haven't. even. just. your way. over. that make a world a better place. time. a group of enterprising students in st petersburg. are working to put the powerful c p u's in every day vices to. work in a new way simply by downloading their good roads after anyone can help in this pool of forty spot bad 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 to sloan's a finish drawing all the vehicles yeah after graduation we'll have more time to get it done. was that one there was a yellow one. to for the simple idea to harness talk that size computing power sprang from a project here at the st petersburg state technical university. as you drive around with your smartphone a sensor within called an accelerometer takes readings noted in a sharp vibrations caused by bumps or potholes the application puts that information into a file and says it on to 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 a number of ways to monitor roads such as photo monitoring and place and monitoring which is special mobile laboratories that can cost up to one million dollars or. one of those other certainly full care options is more while laboratory operated by

the russian company breaky own it drives around 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 all the collected data are available for an operator on an ordinary laptop it's also outfitted with a g.p.s. module and built to navigation system which allows all the info to be synchronized and later processed in an office. on board is developed and produced by the company which means they could be fitted to be attached to any. these mobile labs at least in part also use an excellent there are basically big boxes on wheels. by two meters and strive around town essentially do the exact same thing that i was small mobile phones are capable of doing. all of these young. useful accurate. bodies are going to be able to use information these innovators.

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

a little smoother will soon be able to peacock teams good program is due to hit the app store on april first. another thing that was evident the mobile world congress in barcelona was the rise of enjoying an impression only aided by apple's absence from the festivities. exhibition you can feel the excitement energy is turning their platform into a content rich people system and with the recent launch of its latest version of ice cream sandwich it's likely only going to grow. but despite what it looks like it's more than just funding 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 noted 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. a long time now we've had a product a small fire which protects users of such devices called kaspersky mobile security and this year we've expanded our product range to cover topics pointed using kaspersky 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 a 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 tablet. 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 a special web access to malicious or 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 the new. samples in their database exceeded 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. 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 the products employs powerful technology like low level access to files and what not or truth to stick knology could be used in malware and 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 don't 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 product comes equipped with the anti-theft software if someone happens to nab your tab all you have to do

is log in to your personal account and switch on the program that triggers conspiracy secret mug shot application which snaps a series of pictures of the thief you can also log in the confidential files on your android tab whatever your preferred or operating system developers like those you've seen today make sure that you stay connected for ever you might be. taken by to barcelona and the mobile world congress will be next time and until then enjoy the right.
