Reasons Why You Need a Faster Broadband

Leave a comment

 

“Everything is relative. Is the Internet fast? Not for most people. Is it always on? Yes, for cable modem and DSL  users, but that represents a tiny percentage of users.” -John Patrick

In a modern world wherein most individuals would demand to stay connected online, only the fastest internet connection would do. Today, more and more devices can connect to the internet such as phones, game consoles, tablets, laptops and even watches so that people who would need to stay online can do so without so much of a hassle. However, being perpetually connected online would be all be for naught if your internet connection is fraught with problems such as slow download and upload speeds and the like.

In an average household where most of its inhabitants are connected to one system, having an internet connection that moves at the pace of a turtle can be incredibly frustrating. For this reason, it is best if you opted for faster connectivity by installing a broadband connection at home. It can make a significant difference especially if it is faster than your conventional broadband. Most broadband connections equipped with faster speeds utilize fiber-optic technology which can send and receive date more quickly. As a result, your connection allows you to do more.

Still unconvinced?

Here are the top reasons why you need a faster internet connection or a faster broadband:

1.) Enjoy HD streaming

Have you ever tried streaming video only to experience a grainy definition midway? Or even worse, have it buffer or stop in the middle of an important scene? Well, with a faster internet connection, you would not have to contend with this. Additionally, faster broadbands allow for high-definition video streaming which is far superior to that of standard-definition. Individuals with ordinary internet connections would have a hard time managing to stream these videos as they need faster speed. With a faster connection, you would not only be able to stream these videos seamlessly, but you would enjoy amazing picture quality as well.

2.) It allows for multiple users

More often than not, having a lot of people connect to the internet simultaneously can put a lot of stress on your connection. Because of this slower speeds and downloads will ensue. If you wish to have, your kids connect to the Playstation Network while you take a video call and while someone else is streaming an HD movie in the living room then it is high time to switch to a faster internet connection as it would allow multiple users to get a better online experience.

3.) Faster downloads

One of the most frustrating things about having a slow internet connection is having to wait long stretches of time just for downloads to finish. For some users, this would mean leaving the PC or laptop on for longer periods of time in order to allow for the downloads to finish. As a result, electricity bills would rack up. However, if you opted for a faster internet connection, you would have less waiting time for downloading your favorite movies and music.

4.)  Faster web browsing

It can be incredibly infuriating to surf the Internet if each page you load turns out clunky or would take more than just a few seconds to load. This is especially true for web pages that are filled with photos and videos or are heavily laden with graphics. A faster internet connection would allow for these pages to load more quickly so that you can get the information you want in no time.

5.) Video calls

If you have family, relatives or friends living on the other side of the world, making video calls would be something you would regularly do. One way to keep in touch is through Skype or Facebook Messenger Video Chat, but with a slow internet connection, it can take quite a long time to get connected, and the chances of the picture dropping out are more likely. Having a faster connection would address all this and makes sure you stay connected and in touch with your loved ones better.

6.) Backing up Documents

Files such as photos, videos, and important documents are incredibly important, so it is only appropriate that you back these digital files. A cloud service addresses this and is an easy solution. Having a faster internet speed would mean you can upload these files faster.

Know All About Polymer Surge And Lightning Arresters

Leave a comment

What are Lightning Arresters?

If you want to protect the conductors and insulators of a telecommunication system or electrical power system from getting damaged by lightning, you need to affix a device called the lightning arrester. The typical gadget consists of a ground terminal and a high voltage terminal. The arrester works on the following principle: whenever there is a lightning or a switching surge, the extra current travels along the arrester that has the capacity of then diverting the surge into the earth or elsewhere.

Whenever the wires from telegraphy and telephony enter a building or premises, the polymer surge is placed there so that no harm whatsoever is caused to the electrical and electronic instruments, as well as the persons standing nearby are also left unharmed. There is additionally a device called a surge protector, which is connected with the electrical conductor in the communications system on one hand and the ground on the other. This instrument arrests the increase in voltage when there is a lightning surge. Lightning Arresters is absolutely essential for the electrical and communications systems as a sudden surge of thousands of kilovolts of current may not only damage the wires and transmission cables and lines, it can also damage household electronic and electrical appliances as well as may cause death to anybody within the reach of the extreme voltage spikes.

Description of Some of the Best Polymeric Surge and Lightning Arresters

  • The best quality medium voltage surge and lightning arresters are so designed that they can give effective protection to transformers and the distribution systems against harms caused by lightning.
  • The arresters are built in a robust and hardy way to withstand the most severe weather conditions in the outdoors
  • The reliability of the arresters is beyond question, and they can work equally efficiently in both underground and overhead installations.

The best quality arresters come with the following basic specifications:

  • 5 kV to 33 kV system application voltage
  • 5 to 33 kV related discharge voltage
  • 5 kA or 10 kA related discharge current
  • Line Discharge Class of I, II, III
  • 65 to 100 kA high current withstanding capacity
  • The types of arresters used are also called distribution Type or Station Type of arresters.
  • The technology of the arresters is basically metal oxide gapless.

How does the lightning surge cause damage?

The lightning causes a huge amount electrical current to flow from high voltage area to low voltage area. It will try to find the path to theground that offer sit the least resistance. Thus, the telecom towers and electrical grids form the best path ways for the current to flow. On its way down, the lightning causes immense damage to the components of the electrical system.

The addition of a lightning arrester diverts the electrical current to the ground. The arrester is fixed in the following way: the device has one end of the arrester attached to it, whereas the other end is fixed to a wire or rod having very low resistance that is well buried in the earth.

The On Demand Workforce in the On Demand Industry

Leave a comment

The on demand economy is fast spreading its wings and is disrupting the traditional business models across the globe. Today people expect goods and services on demand when they are on the move as most of them don’t have time to get them with increased working hours and busy schedules.This has led to the fast paced growth of these business techniques. If one side is the customers of the business the other is operational side.

The operational side has become increasingly complex with the need for technology and lot of people to deliver the goods and services.

 

Delivery of goods

In case of delivery of goods people who can drive around and have good knowledge of getting around the location the company is based on. However the workers of on demand are not considered as full time employees in most of the companies. They are paid based on the number of hours they work or the number of trips they take up.

They are taken as contract workers and are not part of the organization. This scenario has both advantages and disadvantages. This gives the workers the flexibility to work whenever they want to and get paid accordingly.

However these workers do not get any additional coverage or basic perks a normal worker can avail. This means the companies can get a free hand in exploiting the workforce. There is no minimum basic pay that has to be followed or any guaranteed work conditions. The governments’ around the globe are still holding to the 20th century industrial labor norms and are not ready to cope with new work force.

The workforce can be fired and hired as they feel like and reduce the pay to minimal levels as someone who is struggling to meet the ends will be ready to work. The labor organizations across the world fought to avoid such sort of exploitations. But there is a huge debate around this that whether there is any true exploitation going on. As the workers have a free will and flexible timing which is not the earlier case. The companies can cut their cost but have to deal with ever changing workforce and maintain the standards of the operation. Goods delivery includes food, groceries and similar products.

Delivery of services

There are a plethora of services that are being catered on demand. Parlor services, transportation, photography etc. The companies develop a network of these professional and create a common platform from which the customers can select the one of their wish.

The pioneer of on demand companies, Uber itself is network based Transportation Company.

Again these companies give the flexibility of working in their own terms and money. Certain companies with the benefit of fixing you prices for your service but some of them do not. Uber has fixed prices but not every one of them. All these service providers have to give back to the platform they are based on is how much market they gain through it. That is how many customers you got. This is a huge advantage to the professionals or service givers as they don’t need to establish themselves elsewhere. They have a ready made platform and a guaranteed recognition.

In case of uber drivers the chances of them operating as an independent taxi driver and earning as much is less. Though they are on their own terms in terms of everything they do need to maintain standards established by the platform. Now this creates the questions whether they are employees or contract workers. When they are contracted the company has no right to control them.

This is the reason Uber has been vehemently opposing to finger print its drivers. Once they finger print the drivers would go on o demand the rights of an employee which is exactly what uber doesn’t want. Not just Uber and Lyft in US, but all the clones of Uber across the globe do not want to face the problem of keeping their drivers as full time employees.

All the companies which perform in the similar way to Uber have certain restriction over the people operating through them. This is intended to maintain the standards and reputation of the company across the customers.

Customer side troubles

While on demand has been very comforting for people there are several issues faced by the customers as well. In case of Airbnb which is a on demand company which provides places for stay has been accused of bad host experience during the stay. The hosts tend to be rude arrogant or to the extent of abusers. But this behavior is not restricted to hosts there are rude customers as well. Airbnb has no coverage or limited coverage in such cases.

They do try to maintain their standards through rating and removing such hosts and customers from their platform. But they do not come with the safety standards of traditional hotel business nor they are subject to one.

In case of Uber there are several cases where the drivers are accused of sexual harassments and also there are restrictions imposed on their operations in many countries. The traditional industries have stringent norms and safety checks to keep a lot of these issues in bay. This has also caused lot of clashes between the drivers of traditional taxis and uber taxis.

Taxation

So who should be taxed for what? Uber takes its earnings and says it has got only 10 percent of the commission and pays a very little tax and so here the drivers are required to pay tax. Not many countries have a check over this income and though a thriving business model it has paid very less to the government

Unfair advantage

Traditional industries have blamed the governments for letting these companies have unfair advantage over them. First is that they do not follow norms as they do not need to shell out money as much as they are doing. Drivers need to carry lot of papers and finish up lot of government procedure to run a taxi. But many uber drivers do not follow the same. They just drive around whenever they feel like. This will lead to the reduced rates in case of uber rides giving them an unfair edge among customers.

Once you are a taxi driver they have o pay taxes without dogging but tuber drivers can do it easily without proper registrations. Similarly hotel industries have to shell out so much of taxes to run their business not the same with Airbnb owners.  Recently many countries are drafting laws for this type of business and coming up with a taxation regime. European Union too has taken up this issue with on demand companies themselves approaching the union due to backslash Uber has faced.

Conclusion

One can expect a lot of companies to take up this model despite the disadvantages it has. Mainly due to the customer comfort it gives and also some of the operational benefits. The governments have to come forward to regulate them to avoid labor exploitation and they too should not lose out on tax money that is generated and to ensure costumer safety.
