HP Supplies Spectrum Monitoring Solution to the Republic of Zimbabwe; As Zimbabwe Expands its Wireless Communications Infrastructure, HP Helps Create an Efficient System That Detects Unlicensed Users.GENEVA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 4, 1995--In the Republic of Zimbabwe, Hewlett-Packard Company will play a vital role in meeting the country's spectrum monitoring needs for detecting and identifying unlicensed users of its airwaves, HP today announces here at Telecom '95, an international trade show.HP will act as a subcontractor One who takes a portion of a contract from the principal contractor or from another subcontractor. When an individual or a company is involved in a large-scale project, a contractor is often hired to see that the work is done. to Technology for Communications International of Sunnyvale, Calif., which has received a contract from Zimbabwe for an ITU-compliant spectrum monitoring and management system. HP will provide computers and networking hardware Networking hardware typically refers to equipment facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, this includes routers, switches, access points, network interface cards and other related hardware. , test and measurement equipment, and a portion of the operating software for the system. The value of the agreement was not disclosed. The spectrum monitoring and management system automatically detects and identifies unlicensed users, ensuring that a country's limited radio spectrum is available to authorized users authorized user Radiation physics A person who, having satisfied the applicable training and experience requirements, is granted authority to order radioactive material and accepts responsibility for its safe receipt, storage, use, transfer and disposal . Under terms of the contract, the system will be operational in Zimbabwe in 1997. Demand for new wireless communications wireless communications System using radio-frequency, infrared, microwave, or other types of electromagnetic or acoustic waves in place of wires, cables, or fibre optics to transmit signals or data. and monitoring systems is expected to be strong in countries without extensive telecommunications capabilities. "In particular, we expect this technology will be widely used by many countries that are expanding their wireless-communication infrastructures as a means of strengthening their economies," said Scott Wright Scott Wright (born 2 October 1974) is a British actor, best known for his two year stay in ITV1's Coronation Street, playing Sam Kingston from 2000 to 2002, who famously stripped in the Rovers Return. , general manager of HP's Santa Rosa Santa Rosa, city, Argentina Santa Rosa, city (1991 pop. 80,629), capital of La Pampa prov., central Argentina. It is a modern city and road junction surrounded by a rich agricultural and cattle-raising area. (Calif.) Systems Division. "Our expertise in measurement, communication and computation allows us to provide fully integrated, automated, nationwide networked solutions for applications such as regulatory compliance, interference detection and spectrum occupancy -- all of which are critical to the success of an economically viable network." As part of its strategy to promote standards-based technologies, HP is increasing its focus on ITU (International Telecommunication Union, Geneva, Switzerland, www.itu.ch) A telecommunications standards body that is under the auspices of the United Nations. Comprising more than 185 member countries, the ITU sets standards for global telecom networks. spectrum monitoring and management solutions. Hewlett-Packard Company is a leading global manufacturer of computing, communications and measurement products and services recognized for excellence in quality and support. HP has 99,900 employees and had revenue of $25 billion in its 1994 fiscal year. -0- NOTE TO THE EDITOR: Subscribers to NEWSdesk may access this news release via http://www/newsdesk.co.uk.
