Faster Wireless Connection (Wi-Fi) in Windows Vista

In Windows Vista the networking components were designed to be much more intelligent and automatically adjust the network settings to optimize the connection speed. This is a great new feature. Your network components basically tweak themselves for optimal performance. In most situations, these components automatically adjust perfectly for best performance. However, with wireless WAN cards the detection of network conditions is flawed and can result in slower network performance.

To fix this problem, Microsoft has released a hotfix for users affected by this issue. If you have a Wireless WAN device, I suggest you give this hotfix a try.

KB 940646 details:

This problem occurs because of the way that TCP receive window auto tuning is used in Windows Vista for connections that only receive data.

Windows Vista obtains a round-trip time (RTT) estimate at the time of connection setup and every time that a new segment of data that is transmitted. A connection that only receives data is limited to the single RTT sample that is obtained at the time of connection setup. Because the connection only receives data, the connection cannot "converge" to the actual RTT of the connection. For example, because the RTT data may fluctuate for various reasons, a "converge" operation is performed to estimate a meaningful RTT by using blending current and previous RTT data. However, if the connection cannot converge to the actual RTT of the connection, the bandwidth delay product (BDP) estimate that Vista obtains is also incorrect. Therefore, the connection's receive window is limited, and throughput of the connected transmission network is reduced.

HDTV Video Streams

HDTV Video Streams; Provides IP-Based, Uncompressed HDTV Video Editing Environment for the Broadcasting Industry

TOKYO -- Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation today announced a PC cluster-based, video stream product, named the i-Visto eXmedia server, which can simultaneously handle up to ten 1.5-Gbps of uncompressed high definition television (HDTV) video streams in real-time using an IP network. The i-Visto eXmedia server is intended for professional use in the broadcasting industry. The product's high performance will enable broadcast professionals to simplify and improve the sharing of video over IP networks.

NTT Network Innovation Laboratories developed a new PC clustering(1) process that integrates multiple general purpose PCs into a video stream server that can handle more than one gigabit of video streams using a commercially available, low-delay interconnection network.

Based on NTT's PC clustering approach, the i-Visto eXmedia server (Figure 1) can simultaneously handle up to ten, uncompressed HDTV video streams using IP, for a combined throughput of 15 Gbps. This processing capability will support up to ten users who can simultaneously retrieve or store uncompressed HDTV video materials or can concurrently process 100 high-definition, digital VTR-quality materials.

Bosch dives into IP surveillance

BOSCH is jumping onto the IP CCTV bandwagon with the German company bringing with it over 13 years of expertise in providing security solutions to local enterprise and home customers.

According to Bosch Security Systems Sdn Bhd general manager Sivakumar K Pichai, IP surveillance is the next big thing in the world of electronic surveillance and Bosch wants to be part of the revolution.

It aims to be a “one-stop IP CCTV solution shop” by providing a complete line of products for video and audio streaming, recording, playback and archiving.

Bosch is building on its strengths to present leading-edge products to a wide range of customers from homes and small businesses to multi-user configurations for corporate, transport, traffic and public applications, Sivakumar said.

In its product portfolio, customers have a choice of 40 products that range from megapixel-based cameras, multi-channel video recorders as well as IP servers.

The company pointed out several advantages in migrating to these type of security solutions.

IP CCTV installations are typically easier to set up and can be done in a much shorter time because they can be connected through a standard wireless communication system instead of requiring extensive co-ax cabling like their analogue counterparts, the company said.

Customers can also cut down on operating costs since less staff is needed to operate the system. Monitoring can be done from a centralised location and video can also be stored remotely compared to traditional CCTV systems.

Bosch works with its local partners — it currently has 25 — when it comes to the installation and maintenance of its IP CCTV offerings, Sivakumar said.

Y-Max begins broadband rollout

Y-MAX Networks Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of YTL e-Solutions Bhd (YTL-e), has started to roll out its services to selected businesses in the Bukit Bintang area of Kuala Lumpur.

The company recently announced an introductory service that is focused on providing high-speed enterprise data and wireless Internet broadband access to a selected number of corporate customers.

According to Y-Max, subscribers can currently enjoy speeds of up to 2Mbps (megabits per second) and are charged between RM80 and RM160 a month.

“The service is now being deployed at two five-star hotels and a cafe in Bukit Bintang,” a company spokesman said. YTL-e said the service is being offered to a limited number of corporations in order to get valuable feedback that will help it improve its full-scale WiMAX service rollout.

The spokesman added that Y-Max chose to deploy its services in the Bukit Bintang area because its headquarters is located there.

“It is also a high-profile business area and fits in very well with our plan to offer our WiMAX Enterprise Connectivity service to businesses,” he said.

YTL-e plans to roll-out a WiMAX broadband service for home users once it has established an extensive WiMAX network coverage area.

However, the company could not confirm when this will be ready.

Django for web perfectionist with deadline

www.djangoproject.com

According to the official site, “Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.”

What that means to me, as a non-programmer, is that Django is a set of core components that takes care of a lot of the programming work that goes into building web applications and other database-driven websites so I don’t have to. Those things that must be done for nearly every web site are built-in, so I can ignore them and focus on what makes each site unique. Here’s an (incomplete) list of things Django provides out-of-the-box:

* Authentication and authorization (users, groups, and permissions)
* Database connectivity (several supported databases, no SQL needed)
* Administrative interface (for adding/deleting/modifying items in the database)
* URL configuration (for making simple, clean, sexy URLs)
* Internationalization (makes localization easy)
* Feed syndication (RSS/Atom)
* Comments on any type of object (both anonymous comments, which Django calls “free comments” and comments that require registration)
* “Flat pages” (simple HTML content stored in the database and passed into a template)

Now, if you’re used to building sites using a blogging app (Wordpress, TXP, etc.) as a CMS, you’re used to getting all that for free. But you’re also getting a lot of things built-in that maybe you don’t want (unless, of course, you’re building a blog). The limitation I ran across in using a blogging app for my personal site is that I wanted it to be more than just a blog. As soon as I tried to hack a blog into a photo gallery, or a links feed, or a statistics database, a game of Sudoku, or whatever else I could think of, things started to get crufty. I also built a website in which I tried to use a discussion forums app (vBulletin) as a CMS, and that had the same results. It worked — sort of — but it wasn’t extensible, was very hackish, and just generally was inelegant.

With Django, you get all of these things and none of the limitations of a blogging app.
