This thumb-drive-sized device is available in three versions to connect to WiMAX networks in each of the three bands approved for use around the world - 2.3GHz, 2.5GHz and 3.5 GHz. The Motorola USBw 100 plugs directly into laptop computers to provide mobile and nomadic wireless broadband connectivity, both indoors and out. The USBw 100 delivers increased range and higher throughput when compared with single-antenna solutions. When used with Motorola’s dual antenna Diversity Access Point (DAP) /Wireless Access Point (WAP) 400 Series, both uplink and downlink performance are significantly enhanced. The device, which easily plugs into the USB port, seamlessly connects the laptop computer to a WIMAX broadband network for reliable, easy, high-speed connection for e-mail, web surfing, video and audio streaming, GPS services, Internet phone calls and other uses…

The Virtex-5 TXT platform consists of two devices that deliver the highest number of 6.5Gbps serial transceivers available on any FPGA, and are fully supported with application-specific IP, development tools, and reference designs for implementing high-bandwidth protocol bridging. The innovative ASMBL(TM) architecture first introduced with Virtex-4 FPGA family enables Xilinx to rapidly develop and deploy domain-optimized silicon platforms targeted at the technical requirements of specific markets and applications. With its forty-eight (48) 6.5Gbps GTX transceivers, the new Virtex-5 TXT platform is uniquely optimized for 100GE applications. It is designed to improve signal integrity for reliable operation of 10/100Gbps links, lower power consumption per channel for better reliability, and provide programmable support for multiple protocols, thus easily adapted to evolving standards for the interface between 100Gbps optical modules and the media access controller (MAC). The high-bandwidth capabilities of the Virtex-5 TXT platform are also well suited for high-performance computing and video broadcast applications. The high-transceiver count and ability to support multiple standards on a single programmable Virtex-5 TXT device delivers the flexibility, performance and low-risk required by these markets…

The 50mm single-focal-length lens AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G (when attached to a DX-format SLR, picture angle is equivalent to a focal length of 75mm in FX/35mm format). The NIKKOR lineup features a large maximum aperture of f/1.4, enabling it to be used for easy handheld shooting in dark settings, such as a dimly lit room. It also allows photographers to easily create beautiful large blur effects. The lens’ Silent Wave Motor (SWM) ensures quick, quiet autofocus. Autofocus shooting is made possible with SLR models that do not have a built-in motor, such as the D40 series and D60. The AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G is a high-performance large-aperture, single-focal-length lens especially suitable for professional and advanced amateurs who use Nikon FX-format cameras such as the D3 and D700, and frequently shoot human subjects as well as night landscapes and astronomy. What’s more, when attached to a DX-format SLR, this f/1.4 lens with 75mm equivalent picture angle is capable of shooting portraits with beautiful blur effects…

Motorola’s HT750 two-way radios have stood the test of time, providing professionals in the private and public sector with reliable voice communications. Enterprises in the mining industry can now take advantage of this proven technology with the introduction of the MSHA-approved HT750 radio models. Approved for use in underground gaseous mines containing methane, these affordable two-way radios, including compatible audio accessories, can help maximize worker safety by enabling users to communicate with one another, while allowing them to concentrate on the job at hand. In addition, Motorola’s innovative X-Pand technology ensures audio quality is clean and crisp even in the noisiest environments. Operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, MOTOMESH Solo provides broadband connectivity well beyond the capabilities of WiFi technology. Motorola’s proprietary Mobility Enabled Access™ (MEA) technology automatically adapts to high multi-path, highly mobile environments. Its dynamic frequency assignment feature avoids other 2.4 GHz traffic automatically, while the client-router architecture extends the network as the subscriber units move throughout the mine environment. The recently launched One Point Wireless Manager enables complete visibility and control of this entire wireless network from a single computer console, with Google Earth network views…
