A report released in mid 2010 analyzed the impact of mobile VoIP on next gen cellular networks. Both mobile and wireless industry has unbelievable growth expectations as this technology becomes more accessible, whether through WiFi or 3G and 4G networks.

The question is, can voip wireless phone actually fulfill customer’s expectation for saving, or will mobile carriers carry on to block access to technology that many people think that it is an almost free of charge wireless solution?

The adoption of VoIP for mobile by some telecommunication leaders has effected the growth of better availability, better quality audio, and faster data connection. However, Flat rate mobile pricing continues to change wildly and each mobile start-up has its own restrictions and deals designed to get the most out of each client.

IP is expected to become the primary transport for future data access, and carriers are being forced to accept the fact that mobile VoIP will be the key player in integrated IP-based communications and also next gen wireless processes.

While smartphone vendors are including applications so users can download and use third-party VoIP clients over WiFi and broadband networks, many cellular operators keep on to prohibit the use of wireless voip on their cellular networks, or force hefty surcharges.

The primary argument that mobile operators use to fight the cost effective lure of VoIP is the claim that VoIP used on the cellular networks can’t offer good quality, reliability, and efficiency compared to that supplied by GSM network. 60% of European mobile operators restrict or prohibit the usage of VoIP on their mobile data plans, and the US is also no much better.

However, while high definition voice have become standard on all smartphones, the argument that mobile IP communications is udner standard will cease to hold water., Even though mobile carriers can be expected to keep on trying toblock access where possible, mobile VoIP is here to stay.

Some Not-So-Fun Facts

Cell Phones are environmental hazards! If not disposed of properly cell phones are damaging to our air, soil, and water:

1. One cell phone can pollute up to 132,000 liters of water.
2. Cell phones (and other electronic devices) contain toxic substances such as arsenic, lead, cadmium, and beryllium that can pollute the air when burned in incinerators and leach into soil and drinking water when buried in landfills.
3. Cadmium can damage the kidneys and it is transferred through the air and through our food.
4. Lead accumulates in landfills and can cause damage to the central and peripheral nervous systems.
5. Mercury gets into our water supply and accumulates in living organisms and travels up the food chain. The principle exposure pathway is through our food and it causes braid damage.
6. Cell phone recycle campaigns are good for our environment because all collected cell phones and electronic devices are either refurbished or disposed of using only the most ecologically sound methods.
Here’s a great idea. Why not take those used & unused wireless devices lying around in some box at your home of office and recycle them to the benefit of the environment and a selected Not-For-Profit (NFP) who needs your help. A little ‘GREEN’ initiative can go a long way.

This is how your mobile phone donation can help!

If only 10% of 5,000 donors send in just one cell phone… that would be 500 basic mobile devices at approximately $2.50 per device to the benefit of the selected NFP… which would equal $1,250.
Let’s say 10% of the devices where BlackBerry’s or smart phones… that would be 50 devices at approximately $20 a device and the NFP would receive… $1,000
Combined that would be $2,250 for this one major effort!

Corporate accounts usually update their mobile cell phones every 12 to 18 months. Most of these are high-end or smart devices and bring greater value to the donated cell phone for the selected NFP. These retired devices still have some value but not to their corporate owners, which make them perfect for donation. As the corporate donors are continually retiring devices or having the retired devices placed in a box or being thrown away… it just makes sense to GO GREEN and donate these phones for recycling to the benefit of your favorite NFP.

THINK BIG!

If 100 Corporate Sponsors provide an average of only 10 wireless devices for each donor that would equal a 1,000 devices donated. If 25% of the donated devices are Blackberries or smart phones that would equal 250 device x $20 a device = $5,000. The remaining 750 devices at $2.50 = $1,875… The approximate NFP contribution would be =$6,875 from corporate sponsored donated phones!!!!
(Remember: The above is approximated; actual averages are affected by age & conditions of the donated devices)

Company’s like Integrity Communications offers businesses, consumers and friends of your Not-For-Profit (NFP) an outstanding ‘Green’ charitable cell phone donation opportunity. This provides your NFP’s participating donor base, business sponsors, friends and associates ‘non cash’ donations fulfilling much-needed fund requirements during these very difficult economic times. Such companies will recycle (liquidate and/or re-purpose) the donated used and unused cell phones and provide additional financial support to your NFP as the vision of creating an even greater culture of generosity is expanded and as God’s creation is further blessed by keeping harmful cell phones from being carelessly disposed of in our local landfills.

Bottom Line: Choosing to donate used and unused cell phones will not only help the environment, but also benefit your selected Not-For-Profit organization with an infusion of much needed cash.
Help The Cause

Are you passionate about helping the environment and Not-For-Profit Organizations? Are you at least interested in learning more? A cellular phone recycling representative would be happy to further describe how Cellular Phone Recycling programs could be an effective fund-raising tool for your NFP’s greater benefit. Who knows, maybe you could be an advocate for this globally good cause within your company!

Individual Inventors & Mobile Phone Patents

Dr. Martin Cooper for Motorola.
US03906166
09/16/1975
Radio telephone system
Inventors: Martin Cooper, Richard W. Dronsuth, ; Albert J. Mikulski, Charles N. Lynk Jr., James J. Mikulski, John F. Mitchell, Roy A. Richardson, John H. Sangster

Dr Martin Cooper, a former general manager for the systems division at Motorola, is considered the inventor of the first modern portable handset. Cooper made the first call on a portable cell phone in April 1973. He made the call to his rival, Joel Engel, Bell Labs head of research. Bell Laboratories introduced the idea of cellular communications in 1947 with the police car technology. However, Motorola was the first to incorporate the technology into portable device that was designed for outside of a automobile use. Cooper and his co-inventors are listed above.

By 1977, AT&T and Bell Labs had constructed a prototype cellular system. A year later, public trials of the new system were started in Chicago with over 2000 trial customers. In 1979, in a separate venture, the first commercial cellular telephone system began operation in Tokyo. In 1981, Motorola and American Radio telephone started a second U.S. cellular radio-telephone system test in the Washington/Baltimore area. By 1982, the slow-moving FCC finally authorized commercial cellular service for the USA. A year later, the first American commercial analog cellular service or AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone Service) was made available in Chicago by Ameritech.

Despite the incredible demand, it took cellular phone service 37 years to become commercially available in the United States. Consumer demand quickly outstripped the 1982 system standards. By 1987, cellular telephone subscribers exceeded one million and the airways were crowded.

Three ways of improving services existed:

• one – increase frequencies allocation
• two – split existing cells
• three – improve the technology

The FCC did not want to handout any more bandwidth, and building/splitting cells would have been expensive and would have added bulk to the network. To stimulate the growth of new technology, the FCC declared in 1987 that cellular licensees could employ alternative cellular technologies in the 800 MHz band. The cellular industry began to research new transmission technology as an alternative.

Cellular: A type of wireless communication that is most familiar to mobile phones users. It’s called ‘cellular’ because the system uses many base stations to divide a service area into multiple ‘cells’. Cellular calls are transferred from base station to base station as a user travels from cell to cell. – definition from the Wireless Advisor Glossary.

The basic concept of cellular phones began in 1947, when researchers looked at crude mobile (car) phones and realized that by using small cells (range of service area) with frequency reuse they could increase the traffic capacity of mobile phones substantially. However at that time, the technology to do so was nonexistent.

Anything to do with broadcasting and sending a radio or television message out over the airwaves comes under Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulation. A cell phone is a type of two-way radio. In 1947, AT&T proposed that the FCC allocate a large number of radio-spectrum frequencies so that widespread mobile telephone service would become feasible and AT&T would have a incentive to research the new technology. We can partially blame the FCC for the gap between the initial concept of cellular service and its availability to the public. The FCC decided to limit the amount of frequencies available in 1947, the limits made only twenty-three phone conversations possible simultaneously in the same service area – not a market incentive for research.

The FCC reconsidered its position in 1968, stating “if the technology to build a better mobile service works, we will increase the frequencies allocation, freeing the airwaves for more mobile phones.” AT&T and Bell Labs proposed a cellular system to the FCC of many small, low-powered, broadcast towers, each covering a ‘cell’ a few miles in radius and collectively covering a larger area. Each tower would use only a few of the total frequencies allocated to the system. As the phones traveled across the area, calls would be passed from tower to tower.
