SEA ME WE 6 | Bangladesh will Connect with New Submarine Cable



Bangladesh is going to be connected with the third submarine cable for the development and to provide better Internet services in the country using 5G technology. The government expects that the connected submarine cable will be a milestone in economic development and growth in the age of communication technology. The government will sign an agreement to join the international SEA-ME-WE-6 consortium in April 2020.

Bangladesh will have access to the main cable of the submarine from June 2023. It will meet the demand of the Internet bandwidth up to 2030. Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Limited-BSCCL sources said that Bangladesh has become a member of the SEA-ME-WE-6 consortium which has been formed for the new submarine cable line. The cable will be connected to the SEA-ME-WE-6 consortium between Singapore and Sri Lanka.

Through the consortium, Bangladesh will get a total of 5 terabytes of bandwidth internet from Cox's Bazar to Singapore and 5 terabytes from Cox's Bazar to France. To get connected with it, the distance from the Cox's Bazar Landing Station to the main line beneath the deep sea will be 1850 km long. The connection will cost Tk 690 crore. Almost 89 percent of the amount will be spent on cable only. The final decision will be taken at a high level meeting soon. Bangladesh will sign the original agreement with the consortium in April. A memorandum of understanding was signed last September for this.



In this regard, Postal and Telecommunications Minister Mostafa Jabbar said, "We are now in the age of five-G technology. But still we are using low quality broadband facilities. In this reality, the third submarine cable will be a milestone in technology development and economic growth”. The final agreement to join the international consortium will be done in April. As a result, Bangladesh will connect to the main cable of the third submarine in 2023. This connection will meet our bandwidth demand for the next 10 years. The minister also added that Bangladesh has made huge technological progress. With it, the new submarine cable will meet our long-term demand.

The cable distance of the Singapore-France connection to the SEA-ME-WE-6 consortium is 20 thousand kilometers. Apart from Bangladesh, other 16 countries will be connected to this information super highway. Three companies will be connected from China. There will be 20 landing stations. Bangladesh joined the consortium on September last year. The main route between Singapore to France will be 1850 km away from Bangladesh. This distance is the route of Bangladesh itself. And Bangladesh will bear the full cost of installing its own route cable.

Members of the SEA-ME-WE 6 consortium will collectively pay for the main line, which is located between Singapore-France. Basically, Bangladesh's own station will be set up in the middle of the Bay of Bengal between Singapore and Sri Lanka. All the consortium work will be done by the company. The company that will get the job of SEA-ME-WE 6, the tender evaluation and finalization program of the consortium in Singapore, will be finalized after doing a pre-survey.

The cable would come from the branching station and connect to the landing station of Cox's Bazar. This present landing station is for SEA-ME-WE 4, which is the country's first submarine cable landing station. This will be extended and will be used for SEA-ME-WE 6. The meaning of SEA-ME-WE is Southeast Asia - Middle East and Western Europe. The cable is placed through this area and the name of each area is connected.

For the last time in the SEA-ME-WE 5 line connected countries of this area were Bangladesh, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, UAE, Djibouti, Egypt, Turkey, Italy, France, Myanmar and Yemen. These 19 countries are linked through 19 landing points.


Internet users and demand is increasing day by day in Bangladesh. To meet the future demand of internet bandwidth this SEA-ME-WE line 6 will definitely play an important role in the technology and communication industry of Bangladesh.

Thanks,

New Facebook's LOGO 2019 | It is Coming


Facebook is changing their logo. Facebook is not just an app anymore. Various other companies or organizations like WhatsApp, Instagram, Oculus, Portal, Calibra, LiveRail etc are owned by Facebook. With one logo ‘FaceBook’ it is very much inappropriate to accurately depict the entire organization. So Facebook's logo is changing. The logo is supposed to be put to use in the “coming weeks” within Facebook products and marketing materials.

The popular and famous online THE VERGE says on their report, "This new logo will surely solve all of Facebook’s problems, New logo represents Facebook the parent company'.

Facebook's chief marketing officer Antonio Lucio said in a blog post that the new branding - which has the Facebook name spelled out in a different font than the one that's adorned its namesake service for years - was "designed for clarity, and uses custom typography and capitalization to create visual distinction between the company and app."

On Monday, 4 November 2019, Facebook unveiled a new logo as a parent company in their newsroom. In this logo, only the word Facebook is highlighted in a generic font. A GIF made logo uses few colors combination to show all the organizations, such as Facebook with blue, WhatsApp with green and Instagram with pink etc. The new Facebook logo will be seen in various marketing products and services along with Facebook soon.

In their blog post on Facebook, they said, they started out as a single app. After 15 years, the number of Facebook products and services has increased. Different businesses have been added here. That’s why Facebook is changing the brand logo to give clearer idea of ​​Facebook products and services.

FaceBook's AI Tool | Facial Recognition System


Facebook's Artificial Intelligence (AI) Research Team has developed a tool that can fool the Facial Recognition System. This will prevent identifying anyone faces by mistake from a video. This system is called 'de-identification' system. It also works on live video. The main facial feature of a video's content is changed using machine learning in the system.

A report by famous tech website VentureBeat says, face recognition may cause privacy issues. In addition, there may be abuse of technology such as changing the facial appearance of the video. Facebook's new tool will prevent such type of misuse. Earlier the de-identification system used on images.

This tool will be presented at a conference called ‘International Conference on Computer Vision’ in Seoul, South Korea, next week. The tool of facial recognition has been announced when $ 35 billion class action lawsuit against Facebook is not over.

According to an IANS report, Facebook has had a $ 35 billion class-action lawsuit in the US state of Illinois. Facebook requested to dismiss the facial recognition related lawsuit case in the state. But a three-member of San Francisco judge panel rejected Facebook’s appeal.


The complaint stated that Facebook did not seek permission before identifying people images by scanning of Illinois people. They did not even know how long that information would be stored on Facebook. Facebook has begun mapping their facial identities since the beginning of the 2011.

If Facebook loses in this case, then they have to pay every person a fine from $ 1,000 to $ 5,000. For total 7 million users FaceBook will have to pay around $ 35 from their pocket.

The judge in the court said that facial recognition software violates a person's personal affairs and factual preferences. This violates the Illinois Bio-metric Information Privacy Act.

Now we can wait and see what’s going to happen next!

Thanks,

The tech world is constantly changing through inventing new technologies. At present, the most updated technology in the world of wireless connectivity is WiFi-6 which has not yet been officially launched but tested successfully.

Another name for the Internet is called speed. The fastest 5G technology has already begun to spread across the world. Now another high-speed internet service is coming to the user's Smartphone screen with the new Wi-Fi technology which will be called as Wi-Fi 6. Before launching this service, all the steps involved in developing a new Wi-Fi technology have been done. Networking hardware manufacturing has already been started for this technology. Even world-renowned tech companies have started producing various products that supports Wi-Fi 6.

Analysts say ‘Wi-Fi version Six’ will bring some radical changes in the Internet world. Wi-Fi 5 is currently running. Compared to Five, the Wi-Fi Six will provide nearly three times faster speed. At the same time, Six will be able to continuously provide high speed internet service to multiple users. Updated security technology has been added to it.

Number of Mobile gadgets, Internet of Things (IoT) and various hardware devices connected to the Internet are increasing worldwide. After the launch of the WiFi Six version, if manufacturers start making their supported devices then the use of version 6 will start thoroughly.

About Wi-Fi 6:
Wi-Fi technology is standardized by an international organization called the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). Another International organization called 'Wi-Fi Alliance' gives certificates to Wi-Fi technology supported devices or certifies the quality. The Wi-Fi Alliance is made up of more than eight hundred companies and manufacturers around the world. It has Apple, Microsoft, Google, FaceBook, Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Samsung, LG Electronics and more.

These two international organization works to bring new radio technology in every five years. The task of updating Wi-Fi technology has also done in five years. Wi-Fi Five was introduced in the year 2014 and it’s another name was 'IEEE 802.11AC'. Wi-Fi Five is commonly used on almost all Smartphone, Laptops or various IoT devices. That continuation of developments has brought the WiFi - or IEEE 802.11AX.

Features and Specialties Wi-Fi 6:
  • The big surprise of the new Wi-Fi technology is high-speed. The maximum speed of the WiFi-5 is 3.5 gbps (Gigabits per second). On Wi-Fi 6, it will be about 9.6 gbps.
  • Usually when multiple devices get connected to a Wi-Fi network, the Internet slows down. But that won't happen on Wi-Fi Six. Rather, this new technology will ensure the same level of internet service and information flow to multiple users on the same network.
  • Compared to the version five, the speed of internet will increase by about four times.
  • Wi-Fi Six can run on two types of frequencies, these are the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands.
  • The security measures have been further strengthened by adding security standard WPA3 which is mandatory. The users will use encryption to exchange information. Apart from this, the WPA3 will help the user to be safe from hackers.
  • WiFi-6 will also increase the battery performance of devices connected to the Internet. This will not drain the device's battery even for long internet usage. The device will last for a long time.
  • Analysts say Wi-Fi Six can comfortably use the Internet on various IoT devices, including Smartphones, smart TVs, Laptops etc.
  • Under the same WiFi zone, one user will be able to watch movies on Netflix, another user will be able to play online games without any interruption and at the same time another will be able to watch videos without buffering.





WiFi-6 in the Future:
The technology world is all set to enter to the new generation of Wi-Fi 6. Before this service officially launched, manufacturing of hardware and device such as Routers, Smartphone and Chipsets to support this technology has been started. Samsung recently introduced their new flagship Smartphone 'Galaxy S10' which will support Wi-Fi 6. Asus, Netgear, TP-Link have brought Wi-Fi 6 Router to market. HP and Dell brought new laptop that supports Wi-Fi 6. Qualcomm has brought a processor in the market.

Wi-Fi Six will be officially announced soon. It will take time to available in everywhere. The entire networking system of the Internet needs to be transferred to use of WiFi-6. The hardware will have to be replaced, it is also mandatory to use a Wi-Fi Six supported router. Devices will also have to adapt to this technology. This will not be possible to use on older devices, as this requires a change in hardware.

At the beginning, Wi-Fi Six supported routers, processors and devices will also be quite expensive. The routers or devices that currently support Wi-Fi Six are priced higher on the market. That is, the world of Wi-Fi technology will change slowly.

Every user wants high-speed Internet service and this trend will draw users to WiFi-6 in the future.

Thanks,
