Research In Motion Ltd (RIM.TO)(RIMM.O)

(Reuters) - Research In Motion Ltd (RIM.TO)(RIMM.O) said on Thursday it has won much-coveted U.S. government security clearance for its BlackBerry 10 devices which are due to hit store shelves in the first quarter of 2013.

The company said the new enterprise management platform has received certification that would allow government agencies to deploy the new smartphones as soon as they are launched.

But RIM must still convince the agencies to stick with its security-focused smartphones and deploy the new BB10 devices, which will come in keyboard and touchscreen models. Some agencies are already looking at alternative providers, eroding a market that RIM has dominated for years.

RIM pioneered mobile devices for email, but its fortunes faded as rivals like Apple Inc (AAPL.O) and Samsung Electronics Co (005930.KS) came up with faster, snazzier devices.

RIM's stock and market share have slumped, and its fate is tied to the success of the new BB10 (BlackBerry 10) devices.

RIM, based in Waterloo, Ontario, said it was the first time a BlackBerry product had won Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 certification ahead of launch.

Last month, RIM said it had begun carrier tests on the BB10 devices, which the company hopes will help it regain some of the market share it has lost to Apple's iPhone and devices that run on Google Inc's (GOOG.O) Android operating system.

FIPS certification, from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, is one of the minimum criteria for products used by U.S. government agencies and regulated industries that collect, store, transfer, share and disseminate sensitive information.

The stamp of approval gives confidence that data on smartphones running BB10 can be properly secured and encrypted.

"I think this was a prerequisite for the new platform," said Atlantic Equities analyst James Cordwell. "Although government agencies are exploring other options, there's still a significant installed base of enterprises that use BlackBerry."

The certification provides a bit of a boost to RIM after the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency said last month it would end its contract with the BlackBerry maker and instead buy iPhones for more than 17,000 employees.

The Pentagon recently said it will continue to support "large numbers" of BlackBerry phones, even as it moves forward with plans to allow the U.S. military to use iPhones and other devices.

MIXED RECEPTION

RIM says BB10 will be much smoother and faster than its existing devices and can manage corporate and personal data separately.

The company has been showcasing the new phones to developers at BlackBerry Jam sessions around the globe, seeking a critical mass of apps for its new devices to succeed.

The devices have been well received by the developer community, but financial analysts have mixed views on their likely reception in an ultra-competitive market.

Pacific Crest analyst James Faucette warned earlier this week that BlackBerry 10 is likely to be DOA - dead on arrival, with an operating system that gets "a lukewarm response at best," due to the unfamiliar user interface and a shortage of apps.

But Paradigm Capital analyst Gabriel Leung said the devices could help push back RIM's market share losses in such crucial markets as North America.

"We believe the company has significantly improved its ability to attract developers to build apps for the BB10 ecosystem," Leung said. He has a $14 price target on the stock and recommends buying it.

Shares in RIM were unchanged at $8.24 shortly after midday on Nasdaq, while its Canadian-listed shares rose less than 1 percent at C$8.30.

The stock has fallen more than 90 percent from a peak of over $148 in 2008, but it has risen about 20 percent over the last two months as the launch of the BB10 devices drew closer. (Reporting by Euan Rocha; Editing by Chris Gallagher, Jeffrey Benkoe, Janet Guttsman and Richard Chang)

5G 

5G (5th generation mobile networks or 5th generation wireless systems) is a technology used in research papers and projects to denote the next major phase of mobile telecommunication standards beyond the 4G/IMT-Advanced standards. 5G is not officially used for any specification or official document yet made public by telecommunication companies or standardisation bodies such as 3GPP, WiMAX Forum, or ITU-R. New standard releases beyond 4G are in progress by standardisation bodies, but are at this time not considered as new mobile generations but under the 4G umbrella.

Prognosis

The 5G family of ITU standards could be implemented around the year 2020.^[1] A new mobile generation has appeared every 10th year since the first 1G system (NMT) was introduced in 1981, including the 2G (GSM) system that started to roll out in 1992, 3G (W-CDMA/FOMA), which appeared in 2001, and "Real 4G" standards which is set at 1000mbps speeds might be deployed as early as 2013^[2]. Predecessor technologies have appeared on the market a few years before the new mobile generation, for example the pre-3G system CdmaOne/IS95 in 1995, and the pre-4G systems Mobile WiMAX and first release-LTE in 2005 and 2009 respectively.

The development of the 2G (GSM) and 3G (IMT-2000 and UMTS) standards took about 10 years from the official start of the R&D projects, and development of 4G systems started in 2001 or 2002.^[3][4] However, still no transnational 5G development projects have officially been launched, and industry representatives have expressed scepticism towards 5G.^[5]

New mobile technologies are generally assigned new frequency bands and wider spectral bandwidth per frequency channel (1G up to 30 kHz, 2G up to 200 kHz, 3G up to 5 MHz, and 4G up to 40 MHz), but skeptics argue that there is little room for new frequency bands or larger channel bandwidths.^[5] From users point of view, previous mobile generations have implied substantial increase in peak bitrate (i.e. physical layer net bitrates for short-distance communication). However, no source suggests 5G peak download and upload rates of more than the 1 Gbps to be offered by ITU-R's definition of 4G systems.^[3] If 5G appears, and reflects these prognosis, the major difference from a user point of view between 4G and 5G techniques must be something else than increased maximum throughput; for example lower battery consumption, lower outage probability (better coverage), high bit rates in larger portions of the coverage area, cheaper or no traffic fees due to low infrastructure deployment costs, or higher aggregate capacity for many simultaneous users (i.e. higher system level spectral efficiency). Those are the objectives in several of the research papers below.

EE's 4G network irresistible for new mobile customers

As Boris Johnson’s booming tones rang out across the Imax theatre at the Science Museum, a new era dawned over London. The Mayor hailed the launch of the “greatest 4G network in the world”, and said that new brand EE were the now masters of “digital penetration”. Olaf Swantee, the chief executive of EE, formerly Everything Everywhere, said the move to a service that was five times faster than anything currently available would make customers feel like they’d gone from steam to jet engines. Mobile phones would finally be fit for “the gigabit generation,” he said. Later he told the Telegraph that his business has a headstart over its rivals because it had asked communications regulator Ofcom first. “Other businesses could have done it,” he claimed. As it is, Vodafone and O2 will need to wait until the middle of next year to launch rival services, and even EE’s own ambitions to reach 98 per cent of the UK population by the end of 2014 must wait until the conclusion of the spectrum auction that will truly herald a new competitive age of British mobile services. It seems hard to argue that EE’s investments, which began 12 months ago, will not give it a huge advantage over its rivals, but a headstart does not necessarily equate to a guarantee of success. Today there were announcements about devices but not prices and the mobile phone market is so saturated that growth demands users switch from one network to another. Previously, mobile networks were competing only on data tariffs and price but EE is now the only brand with real differentiation. When 4G is up and running in 16 cities by Christmas, Samsung, Huawei, Nokia and HTC handsets will be very different products on their network. The iPhone now looks certain to join them tomorrow too.

4 G Technology

One of the most important features in the 4G mobile networks is the control of high-speed packet transmissions or come to one side traffic in the channels. The same codes used in the 2G-3G networks will be applied to future 4G mobile or wireless networks, the detection of very short bursts will be a serious problem due to their very poor partial relationship properties. Recent study has indicated that traditional multi-layer network architecture based on the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model may not be well suited for 4G mobile network, where contact of short packets will be the major part of the traffic in the channels. As the packets from different mobiles carry fully different channel self, the receiver should execute all necessary algorithms, such as channel belief interactions with all upper layers and so on, within a very short time to make the detections of each packet sound and even to lessen the mess of traffic.

Mobile Technology

Mobile technology is a combined period used to express the a choice of types of cellular communication technology. Mobile code division multiple access (CDMA) technology has evolved fast above the past few years. Since the start of this millennium, a standard mobile device has gone from being no more than a simple two-way pager to being a mobile phone, GPS navigation device, an fixed web browser and instant messaging client, and a handheld game console. Many experts argue that the future of computer technology rests in mobile computing with wireless networking.

The United States Military is now using mobile technology as a tool for information diffusion and collection on battlefields.
