Increasing complexity has long been a major embedded systems developer concern. Some industries have seen this trend earlier than others but it appears none will escape the trend. It is just a matter of time until this is a concern across every market segment.
[ + ]How SIP is unifying radio communications
SIP (session initiated protocol) technology, developed for IP communications, has moved radio communications from being an isolated system to being truly unified with the broader communications infrastructure allowing for communications between digital and analog radio, PBX, mobile phones, computers and more.
[ + ]Flying high with field operations
The ACMA’s field operations section has many responsibilities, including the role of identifying and resolving interference to radiocommunications services. Recently, the team received notice of interference to the new 6.8 km CLEM7 tunnel in Brisbane. An ACMA team was assembled to investigate the issue.
[ + ]It just keeps on growing
I keep on saying it and now I’m going to say it again - RadioComms Connect was the busiest, the biggest and the best in its relatively brief four-year history. From small beginnings it has grown to last year’s size that even forced onto the concourse of the stadium two companies. But they didn’t seem to worry as people passed to and from on their way to the presentations.

[ + ]ARCIA clarifies 400 MHz issues
The ACMA has released details of forthcoming changes to the 400 MHz band following its extensive review. These changes are likely to affect operations of two-way radios, and the Australian Radio Communications Industry Association (ARCIA) has issued a statement that, it says, clarifies some of the points raised by the authority. Headed ‘ACMA changes to radio licences’, the statement goes on:
[ + ]Bringing safety to underground mines
Traditionally, the basic mobile communication requirements of underground mines have been analog two-way voice radios and low-speed data links. With the tremendous development of open standard data communication products, safety and monitoring systems and protocols for wired and wireless applications, TCP/IP and 802.11 are now the de facto standards. These standards have paved the road for the realisation of the mines’ high-speed communications systems.
[ + ]Project: Updating NZ rail
In a move to improve system reliability and flexibility, while providing a platform for mobile data capability, KiwiRail, the organisation responsible for managing New Zealand’s rail network, has begun a major upgrade to the nationwide radio system used to help the safe movement of trains and track workers around the country.
