South Pacific’s Vanuatu grabbing fiber internet connection, sidesteps ‘remote’ stereotype
April 14, 2011 No Comment
Ever been to Vanuatu ? Neither have the vast majority of the world’s inhabitants — particularly those who simply can’t function off the grid. For ages, the island archipelago has relied on sluggish, unpredictable satellite connections for eBay bids and liveblog following, but it looks as if fares to the blossoming nation are about to head even further north. Around this time next year, the Pacific Island destination will be connected to the real internet, thanks to an undersea optical fiber backbone cable linking it to nearby Fiji. Interchange and Alcatel-Lucent will be working to lay and operate the 1,230 kilometer cable system, which will “link directly into the high capacity Southern Cross Cable between Sydney and Hawaii.” At first, the system will be equipped to handle 20Gbis/sec — a figure that dwarfs the country’s current capacity by 200x. In time, that should creep up to 320Gbit/sec, enabling your future vacation videos to hit YouTube in record time. Total cost? $30 million, or a drop in the bucket compared to the economic boom that’s bound to transpire.

April 14, 2011 No Comment
The minimum specs for Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 OS have taken a nice bump upwards, it has been revealed at this year’s MIX . Current WP7 handsets are all running the Qualcomm MSM8x50 Snapdragon, the original 1GHz part with Adreno 200 graphics, but Microsoft has now upgraded the requirement to Qualcomm’s second-gen part, the MSM8x55 and the more powerful Adreno 205 GPU. That’s already seen widespread adoption among devices like the HTC Thunderbolt and Xperia Play , but Microsoft isn’t content with just one option and is also throwing in Qualcomm’s MSM7x30 , a fine multimedia performer that’s already hit the market inside the T-Mobile G2 . The latter part also comes with Adreno 205, making it a constant of future Windows Phone devices, while the option to include a gyroscope has also been provisioned for. Video of the MIX 11 session explaining these tweaks and much more about WP7 architecture can be found after the break.
