Aeris.net and Dobson Cellular Systems, Inc. Agree to Expand MicroBurst Deployment to Include Dobson's Digital Network.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 4, 2003 Deal Is First Step Towards Enabling MicroBurst mi·cro·burst n. A sudden, violent downdraft of air over a small area. Microbursts are difficult to detect and predict with standard weather instruments and are especially hazardous to airplanes during landing or takeoff. Digital And Analog AMPS Connectivity Throughout Dobson Cellular Dobson Cellular Systems, Inc., is a wireless telecommunications provider in several regions of the United States, including Alaska, Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Systems' Coverage Area Aeris.net(R) today announced that it signed an agreement with Dobson Cellular Systems to expand its MicroBurst(R) deployment to include Dobson's digital network. "Dobson Cellular Systems is a highly valued partner and an important part of our plan to deploy MicroBurst across several networks throughout Canada, the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. and Mexico," said Dick Gossen, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Aeris.net. "As the leading provider of machine-to-machine (M2M M2M Machine-to-Machine (communication, mainly mobile) M2M Minutes to Midnight (Linkin Park album) M2M Mobile to Mobile (cellular phone) M2M Member-to-Member M2M Month to Month ) communications services, we are pleased to bring digital technologies to the M2M application community." By expanding MicroBurst throughout the digital infrastructure, both analog and digital technologies will be available simultaneously. This added capability will provide MicroBurst customers with more robust coverage and it will protect their applications as carrier's eventually transition from analog to digital networks. MicroBurst is very attractive to carriers because it is easy to deploy, has no impact on current voice and data services and provides an additional revenue stream that would otherwise be unattainable. The technology uses the existing control channel systems and SS7 networks of both analog and digital networks to exchange small amounts of data with remote devices. Because MicroBurst uses standard equipment with standard interfaces, set-up involves minimal configuration and programming changes with no network modifications. MicroBurst is a great opportunity for carriers to generate additional revenue from their wireless infrastructures. Remote devices, equipped with new dual-mode (AMPS and Digital) and dual-band (800 and 1900 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. ) MicroBurst compatible modems, will communicate with the network through both digital and analog technologies. The modems will automatically switch between Digital and AMPS technologies depending on network and technology availability. "By combining analog and digital technologies we create a more ubiquitous and robust solution for M2M application solution providers," said Mark Chiarelli, senior vice president, networks at Aeris.net. "Our agreement with Dobson Cellular Systems ensures digital and analog coverage throughout the Midwest and Northeast United States, and is a first step in our quest to incorporate infrastructure across North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. ."
