The British university of Coventry in cooperation with Cisco® and Guinti Labs has created the unique modern educational environment uniting technologies of mobile and virtual training. The university has set for itself a problem to introduce in division Serious Games Institute (SGI) a technological platform on which basis it would be possible to construct digital model of buildings of institute so that depending on a site of the student in a real building and its digital similarity access to corresponding teaching materials was given to it. Thus the way of delivery of teaching materials should correspond not only to a site of the student, but also devices which it uses at present. In the decision are combined platform Cisco for the wireless services considering a physical site of the user, and a control system of a teaching material learn eXact® companies Guinti Labs. Software Guinty Labs allows redirecting instantly a material to virtual SGI environment or on any device connected to wire or wireless networks Cisco, developed in university. Introduced at university of Coventry the system possesses variety of other outstanding characteristics. It is the largest centralised wireless system in system of higher education of the Great Britain and the first centre of processing of calls Cisco in the higher education system, established in the central counties of England. transform university of Coventry into the advanced educational institution where students and scientists from other countries would aspire, - John Letem (John Latham), the assistant to the rector on business development has declared. - Leaning against technologies and experience Cisco and Giunti Labs, institute SGI has received in the order the whole set of functions of virtual training, such as reception of a virtual teaching material by means of simple technology drag-and-drop, three-dimensional positioning of points of access (hostpots), the order and tracing of delivery of a teaching material by means of avatars. We also have tools for creation, packings and managements of a content corresponding to specification SCORM (Shareable Content Object Reference Model) which can be adjusted depending on a concrete context and is delivered to the mobile devices working under control of OS Windows Mobile 5, by means of network Wi-Fi SGI constructed on equipment Cisco. We also can use a content on other platforms of the virtual worlds, such as Forterra and Second Life ". |

Intel Corporation , according to Electronics Weekly, develops a universal microchip which will provide support at once several standards of wireless data transmission.
Under the available information, the new microcircuit will represent program-depending radio chip (Software-Defined Radio). Differently, practically all operations on signal processing will be carried out by the software. As a result, becomes possible creation of flexibly configured system, capable to accept and transfer various kinds of radio signals. Electronics Weekly notices, that the devices equipped with new chip Intel, can work in networks Wi-Fi, WiMax, and also will support the standard of mobile digital TV DVB-H. The chip prototype has the surface area in 24 мм2 and consumes 79 мВт energy at reception of the information with a speed in 52 Mbit/with. Power consumption makes 72 мВт in a signalling mode. |
