NTC INTRODUCES 4G LTE NETWORK FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NEPAL

To bridge the gap between cutting edge technology, Nepal Telecom introduces 4G/LTE Network service to its GSM mobile subscribers for the first time in Nepal at an affordable cost.[1]

Nepal Telecommunication

Telecommunication services in Nepal dates back to 1970 B.S. While Nepal Telecommunication was formally established in 2028 B.S as fully owned Government Corporation after the enactment of Communication Corporation Act 2028. Vision of Nepal Telecom is to remain a dominant player in telecommunication sector in the Country while also extending reliable and cost effective services to all. Goal of Nepal Telecom is to provide cost effective telecommunication services to every nook and corner of country.[2]

4G/LTE Network Coverage

Nepal Telecom mentions on its official website that "the network will initially cover most parts of Kathmandu and Pokhara". Hence we can call this launch as an experimental one. Further it mentions that "soon the coverage will be expanded throughout the country. Where 4G network is not available, you can still enjoy the data browsing using NT 3G and 2G networks."

4G is the fourth generation of wireless mobile telecommunications technology, succeeding 3G. 4G technology includes applications like mobile web access, IP telephony, gaming service, high definition mobile TV, video conferencing and 3D Television.[3]

Bandwidth of 4G/LTE

Nepal Telecom plans to provide a bandwidth of 20Mbps. The bandwidth of 4G Network is 5-15Mbps while it can reach to its optimum of 40Mbps.

How to take advantage of 4G?
To use 4G/LTE service, your mobile device needs to support 4G/LTE and in case you have older version of SIM card, you will need to replace it with newer 4G enabled SIM(Universal SIM i.e. U-SIM). Subscription to 4G/LTE service and configuring it in your handset is easy – in case of any confusion feel free to contact our customer care center. There is no service activation fee for 4G/LTE. And usages charges are the same as before – it’s not more expensive.[1]

Nepal Telecom encourages its customers to get optimum benefit of this new feature provided for the first time ever in Nepal. While Nepal Telecom Launched its new feature 4G/LTE, Ncell (An Axiata Company) another competitive private Telecommunication Company of Nepal is experimenting 4G Network in Kathmandu. NCell has applied for the 4G License with NTA. An article was published by The Himalayan Times entitled "NTA to soon approve 4G service for NT, Ncell". While Nepal Telecom did launch it today, NCell is still exercising to get it done and launch among its subscribers.

THE EVOLUTION OF 5G

G. Marconi, an Italian inventor, unlocks the path of recent day wireless communications by communicating the letter ‘S’ along a distance of 3 Km in the form of three dot Morse code with the help of electromagnetic waves. After this inception, wireless communications have become an important part of present day society. Since satellite communication, television and radio transmission has advanced to pervasive mobile telephone, wireless communications has transformed the style in which society runs. The evolution of wireless begins here and is shown in Fig. 1. It shows the evolving generations of wireless technologies in terms of data rate, mobility, coverage and spectral efficiency. As the wireless technologies are growing, the data rate, mobility, coverage and spectral efficiency increases. It also shows that the 1G and 2G technologies use circuit switching while 2.5G and 3G uses both circuit and packet switching and the next generations from 3.5G to now i.e. 5G are using packet switching. Along with these factors, it also differentiate between licensed spectrum and unlicensed spectrum. All the evolving generations use the licensed spectrum while the WiFi, Bluetooth and WiMAX are using the unlicensed spectrum. An overview about the evolving wireless technologies is below:

From Generation 1G to 2G and from 3G to 4G, this world of telecommunication has seen a number of improvements along with improved performance with every single passing day. This fast revolution in mobile computing changes our day to day life that is way we work, use, interact, learn, implement etc. Until now we have achieved 4G technology and yes the smartphones manufactured now a days are a featured example of this generation. The underdeveloped countries such as Nepal itself had not been able to use of this generation unlike other countries where the research and innovation towards the next generation has already been on its way. All we can say is that 4G is a significant achievement for the further development of the 5G technology.

Now, let’s dig up what 5G is all about. The 5G aims to achieve the vision of essentially unlimited access to information and sharing of data anywhere and anytime for anyone and anything by providing affordable broadband wireless connectivity at very high speed (higher than 1 Gbps, 4G offers the wireless internet connectivity of about 1Gbps). The in use EDGE technology in 3G devices and now, Wi-fi using LTE in 4G will ultimately be developed into WWWW( World Wide Wireless Web ) to provide global sharing in a large scale through a common connected network from different devices also called ubiquitous (global) computing which means the user can simultaneously be connected to several wireless access technologies (2G, 3G, 4G or 5G mobile networks, Wi-Fi, PAN ) and seamlessly move between them and result in multiple concurrent data transfer. It’s not just about super-fast internet connection and capacity, it’s about not compromising the needs of thousands of people. Suppose if you are in a Stadium along with other 30,000 people who are accessing mobile data to upload a photo in a social media then by 4G it’s a great deal but 5G uses innovative technology that can allocate each users with their own antennas. So, that makes 5G almost 10 times faster than 4G.

Additionally, it focuses on (Voice over IP) VOIP enabled devices that user will experience a high level of call volume and data transmission. It will give you the concept of intelligent Internet phone where the mobile can prefer the finest connections. It will support IPv6 where a visiting care-of mobile IP address is assigned according to location and the connected network. 5G will also provide wireless connectivity for a wide range of new applications and use cases, including wearable devices, smart homes, traffic safety/control, and critical infrastructure and industry applications, as well as for very-high-speed media delivery, documentation, supporting electronic transactions (e-Payments, e-transactions), and multimedia newspapers, also to watch T.V programs with the clarity as to that of an HD T.V. It is expected that the initial Internet philosophy of keeping the network as simple as possible, and giving more functionalities to the end nodes also using 5G with cloud computing and nanotechnology in real wireless world with no more limitation to access and zone issues.

Evolution beyond mobile internet from analog through to LTE (Long Term Evolution), each generation of mobile technology has been motivated by the need to meet a requirement identified between that technology and its predecessor, the next generation must be about the advancements in all existing mobile technology so smart that it can ultimately result in artificial intelligence. By 2020, 3D movies and games, real-time streaming of ultra HD 2K content and remote medical service will be common on a smartphone resulting in need of 5G networks.

KU IT MEET 2017, ONE HUGE TECH FESTIVAL OF NEPAL

Kathmandu University Computer Club (KUCC) is a non-profit, independent Club formed by students of Department of Computer Science and Engineering in the year 1997 with registration number in Student Welfare 001/1997. Celebrating its eighteen years of success in the field of Information and Communication Technology, KUCC organizes many ICT related workshops and events. IT MEET is an event organized by KUCC every year to showcase the emerging innovative technology.

KUCC has more than 1000+ members from Department of Computer Science and Engineering. Every student from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering are general members of KUCC. Apart, from these members, KUCC is supervised by the experienced Professors in any event conducted by the club. This club collaborates to conducts various project and workshop in and outside Kathmandu University. It has executed various small to large scale programs to raise awareness of ICT in different levels.

“IT MEET 2017” is an ICT event organized by Kathmandu University Computer Club (KUCC) and Department of Computer Science and Engineering to encourage interaction between students from various institutions of Nepal and youths from various walks of life. The event is a platform that gives momentum to the ICT Campaign. KUCC envisions to empower youths to promote their technical talent that will ultimately produce a technically reinforced society. KUCC advocates that the existing problems be solved using an innovative approach by bringing IT students and professionals together in a podium and share the solution to the general public.

KUCC has been organizing the IT MEET every year, commencing from 2006. The IT MEET of 2010 was conducted at IT Park, Banepa and that of 2011 conducted at Kathmandu University premises and it had been a trend until 2016, which was conducted at IT Park again. IT Meet 2017 assures a similar event, where we tirelessly probe the enhancement of IT throughout the nation and assist the overall development.

Development, however, is a vague notion. It is the consequence of various individual developments. Without collaboration and cooperation, the development process becomes fragmented, resulting uneven distribution and grotesque arrangement. Thus, at IT MEET 2017, we hope to work together with several institutions beside the IT institutions. Institutions such as School of Science, School of Law, School of Arts, School of Management and many more might have diverse areas of interest as well.

We have anticipated together about 20,000 people. Among them, most of which will be students and general public from colleges in and around Kathmandu Valley, Youth working in social sectors, Media personnel, ICT enthusiasts, Entrepreneurs, local audience from Kavrepalanchowk and others. The event, however, is open for people from any field. The event is planned as a series of three days’ festival dated January 20, January 21 and January 22 at the premises of Kathmandu University, Dhulikhel, during the office hours.

Mahabir Pun The Unsung IT Hero of NEPAL

Everything we wanna know about Mahabir Pun is available and well documented at Wikipedia. So you may be thinking why am I writing a blog about him here again? Well there are few reasons behind it. First is respect towards his contribution and second is again respect as a guru who followed his dreams and make it come true. Like him it's my dream and also dream of many of us to make our dream of a developed village, community and all together a developed country.

It was our third semester at Kathmandu University, where we got this opportunity to participate in Community Education Project. A team of 10 members headed to the various places of Dolkha district of Nepal. There we stayed for seven days providing training to the government officials of District Headquarter Office, Department of Forest. One day we went to the Gaurishankar Hospital with the application from University searching if we can provide any help regarding IT/ computer technology. There from the doctors we encountered a Workstation Setup with a huge monitor and a dedicated CPU. Doctor told us this device came here from Mahabir Pun's Project called Telemedicine.  We explored the workstation and explored how the telemedicine was set up. 

TELEMEDICINE is a concept of providing medical service in such areas where doctors cannot reach physically during the emergency. So with the help of technology i.e. Internet doctors make their virtual presence through video conference and assist online during a treatment. Local health assistants, or any other health personnel take advice from them and help the patient.

I've read about him during my high school as the man who provided access of internet to the people of Mountain regions. I always wanted to meet him and this quest is yet not fulfilled, although we have had timely conversations on phone.

And one day I saw this video recommended in youtube. I watched it and again I was mind blown with his new project of initiating Research and Development Centre at Nepal "National Innovation Centre". He was already an inspirational character for me. And here again he owns a huge respect. 

Theme of this R&D centre is development of country through investment in every aspects of infrastructure of development. Just the concept is that this Organization acts as a supporting cnetre which does research, analysis and also development for the country. He has estimated an approximate 2.5Million USD budget program for the organization. He proposes development of a micro hydropower which will cover most of the expenditure. On top of that he donated all his lands for the project. 

There is a reason for calling him an unsung hero. Since the time of this project initiation four government came and went from the parliament. All government leaders just listened to him, gave consolation and fake promise that they will help but nothing is done yet. If such project is accomplished then it would take no time for a country to swift to the edge of development.

I'm happy that I am also on the same track of contributing the community. With Help Nepal Network's E-Library Project many volunteers from Kathmandu University have contributed to the community and will be helping in anyways I can to his project. 

I request everyone online to take a look at what he has to say. Every information regarding his project and him is transparent. He is a down to earth, humble and genuine person. Let us together be a part of his campaign.

[SEO] How to Add Google SiteMap in Blogger?

We will show you to generate a complete sitemap of your website whichever be its domain name (domain.blogspot.com or domain.com)

What are Sitemaps?Sitemaps are an easy way for webmasters to inform search engines about pages on their sites that are available for crawling. In its simplest form, a Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL (when it was last updated, how often it usually changes, and how important it is, relative to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site. Sitemap 0.90 is offered under the terms of the Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons License and has wide adoption, including support from Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft.

Note: Above definition was adapted from the Sitemaps.org

How to Begin?

Problem with blog hosting with blogger is that unlike other hosting (Wordpress, Jumla, Drupal), you cannot upload any custom files to the blogger. All you can do is just select new post and write text in there and post the blog. Also the problem with sitemaps in blogger is that google adds only twenty six most recent blog posts in its sitemaps. So all the posts before these 26 may never be crawled as well as indexed by Google.

How to Generate A Complete Sitemap?

• You can find many free sitemap generators, select one of them. I use the sitemap generator developed by Famous Blogger Amit Agrawal
• Open Sitemap Generator and enter your site name.
• Now Click Generate Sitemap
• Copy all the texts you get as generated sitemap.
• Now under your blogger dashboard, goto settings -> Search Preferences -> Enable Custom robot.txt option.
• Paste your generated sitemap. Now from next time the google search engine crawlers will index your pages.

How to alias bash scripts and execute from terminal?

You wrote a bash script and now you have to run it, but you don't know how.  Well this is an easy task. We can do this with just few terminal commands.

• First you need to make the file as an executable. Use chmod to do so. chmod changes the file mode bits of each fiven file according to the mode , which can be either symbolic or numbr.
  In your terminal type:  chmod +x filename.sh
• Now add an alias in the .bashrc file
  gedit .bashrc
   at the last line of file type this:
  alias filename ='filename.sh'
• Save and close the file 
• Type source ~/.bashrc  to apply the changes you made to this file
• Now open terminal and just type the alias you provided to your application. Now you need not create the directory path and execute again and again to run a specific file. Just use the alias.

Open Street Mapping with MAPS.ME

"Like wallet, your smart phone is also nowadays part of your journey." 

I travel a lot within my country during holidays.  It was my last trek to Namche Bazar where my Friend Ramesh Tiwari suggested me to try MAPS.ME. After that day, I've only one map application installed on my phone i.e. MAPS.ME. This map is so precise that when we were on our trek it would navigate us and show every house and routes.

My friend had downloaded the map of Nepal offline, so we were able to browse the map ofline. This application is so awesome also because it is an open source project. Unlike Google and Bing it doesn't claim it's proprietary ownership to the maps which we contribute. Following reasons made me to contribute to OSM:

• It's OpenSource. So the main advantage will be that all those researchers and developers who need information about my place can get all the information and data for free from this map or the Open Street Mapwebsite
• Nepal is a country with huge scope in tourism. Many tourists come to visit our country, so it's our duty to at least provide information about places like, treking routes, hospitals, busstands, homestays and restaurants, parks forests mountains etc.  This open initiative can also imprint a good impression of a country whole over the world.
• Being offline, also you can get directions, bookmark your places and also the 3D view feature is interesting.  

I wanted to show this contribution panel of MAPS.ME. After last trek to Namche in March, I have added 188 new places to the open street maps. Not only that I sometimes keep the GPS traces of my route which I upload to the website so that other can see it.  At the end of the year 2016 MAPS.ME was successful to map more than a million of object which was all contributed by volunteers like us. Picture below shows the number of schools, bus stop and more categories that we were able to map.Open Street Mapping is interesting, so I would like to invite every travelers to install the app and take benefit of it as well as contribute whenever they explore new places or new tracks during their journey.
