WHAT IS MOBILE ?

A mobile phone, or cell phone,[a] is a portable telephone that allows users to make and receive calls over a radio frequency link while moving within a designated telephone service area, unlike fixed-location phones (landline phones). This radio frequency link connects to the switching systems of a mobile phone operator, providing access to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Modern mobile telephony relies on a cellular network architecture, which is why mobile phones are often referred to as 'cell phones' in North America.

Mobile phones also support a variety of multimedia capabilities, such as digital photography, video recording, and gaming. In addition, they enable multimedia playback and streaming, including video content, as well as radio and television streaming. Furthermore, mobile phones offer satellite-based service

The first handheld mobile phone was demonstrated by Martin Cooper of Motorola in New Y

Mobile phones are considered an important human invention as they have been one of the most widely used and sold pieces of consumer technology.[7] The growth in popularity has been rapid in some places, for example, in the UK, the total number of mobile phones overtook the number of houses in 1999.[8] Today, mobile phones are globally ubiquitous,[9] and in almost half the world's countries, over 90% of the population owns at least one.[10]

History

Main article: History of mobile phonesMartin Cooper of Motorola, shown here in a 2007 reenactment, made the first publicized handheld mobile phone call on a prototype DynaTAC model on 3 April 1973.In 2001, the third-generation (3G) was launched in Japan by NTT DoCoMo on the WCDMA standard.[15] This was followed by 3.5G or 3G+ enhancements based on the high-speed packet access (HSPA) family, allowing UMTS networks to have higher data transfer speeds and capacity. 3G is able to provide mobile broadband access of several Mbit/s to smartphones and mobile modems in laptop computers. This ensures it can be applied to mobile Internet access, VoIP, video calls, and sending large e-mail messages, as well as watching videos, typically in standard-definition quality.

By 2009, it had become clear that, at some point, 3G networks would be overwhelmed by the growth of bandwidth-intensive applications, such as streaming media.[16] Consequently, the industry began looking to data-optimized fourth-generation (4G) technologies, with the promise of speed improvements up to tenfold over existing 3G technologies. The first publicly available LTE service was launched in Scandinavia by TeliaSonera in 2009. In the 2010s, 4G technology has found diverse applications across various sectors, showcasing its versatility in delivering high-speed wireless communication, such as mobile broadband, the internet of things (IoT), fixed wireless access, and multimedia streaming (including music, video, radio, and television).

Uber? Lyft? What the hell is going on?

Ever had to contact customer support and heard over an automated voice instead of a human? How about contacting them and once you explain to them your issues only for them to give you ready-made responses as they haven't clue of what you're talking about? Well, that's been my excrcuiating experience as a driver for both companies at the same time. So, let's dive into how ludicrous it's been.

Let's start with Uber since it's rich with crazy stories. Uber has kind of a fair hourly wage going $25-30. You can receive payments on weekly basis like most jobs and contracts. Or you can have instant access to your money and even cash out once you've finished your shift with the Pro Card. Of course, I would choose the latter because why not? Normally I cash out directly to my debit card and needed I new one some time ago. I went in to change the details for the new card and had to undergo a security code verification via text message. I never received it so I had to contact support. I explained the issue I had and was told to whilelist my phone number from a text message. That's strange. How come I can receive text messages from Pro Card just fine when logging in, but not for this? Because this didn't work. I thought that this had to be a problem in their end. Now, a good tech support agent would troubleshoot such an issue should a solution like that not work. Not here; they "took it to further support" (Bear with here. I couldn't remember exactly what they said.) in order to resolve my issue. Their response: logout and in, reinstall the app and restart my phone. None of that worked because it's the most half-assed set of solutions of all time. Imagine if EA told you do that with their games you try to boot up. It'll just add the notoriety they're known for having.

It didn't feel like I was chatting with a human, so I decided to call support for a better chance. I had to wait (Get ready for this) ONE MOTHERFUCKING HOUR just to talk with someone. I can't believe I had the patience for that. I finally get to talk with an agent, only for them to tell me the same. Damn. Thing. Dude, what the fuck? Is Uber run by Skynet or something?! I kept contacting until I remembered why I had to whitelist the phone number I've been using with my account: it's because it's believed that it was being blocked by the provider. The number here is one I had setup for business reasons via TextFree, so I contacted them about it and they told me there was no issue on their end. Is Uber screwing with at this point? But, I went and switched the number on my account to my personal one, thinking that the business number is being assumed to be a VoIP, which is not allowed with some services. I finally get the code needed to finalize debit card changes to my Pro Card account.

Now this next story really interfered with my job significantly. I've been doing rideshare look normal, steady with a consistent schedule I setup for myself. The one thing that annoys me is that I have to verify my facial identity every once in a while. I mean, you know what I look like. Nothing too drastic has changed about me. So, why do I gotta go through this as I begin the job at a desired time? One day, I randomly go into the trip preferences menu to see it go from this:

To this:

Note: the Uber Eats food delivery preference is suppose to be there, but I didn't take a screenshot before it disappeared.

Of course, I had to talk to an agent. But this was more aggravating. I tried my damnedest to explain this issue. The agent, however, couldn't seem to figure out what I mean. Did they not have any job training? Once that was sorted, the agent said things like "This should be the type of experience for you to have" or "We understand your concern". Do ya, really? Because you should've went deeper into it by now. Continuing with this chat, guess what they told me then: the same solution from the Pro Card "troubleshoot", but that didn't work because THE APP IS NOT THE FUCKING PROBLEM! I disconnected and got in contact with a different agent. This bullshit repeated, but I got a whole new response. I got confirmation of my eligibility to have these preferences, including UberXL, and it was still approved. They also actually spent the time to look into it for a few minutes, although it was longer than. The problem involved the inspection of the vehicle I have registered. They wanted me to show an image of a newly documented inspection, but I don't have to worry about it for another 6 months. In my state at least, (I'm from the USA) I have to perform an annual inspection for legal validity of driving the vehicle, and it's $100. Doing this every 6 months makes no sense and it feels like it'll lead to an endless money pit, as a certain mechanic would say.

After that was sorted, I went back to doing the job like normal, only for it to happen again the next week. Starting to feel like Uber has a grudge against me. I go back to dealing with the same ol' crap more frustrated than ever, even angry, and get an unexpected response: I'm not eligible to perform UberXL rides. Well, isn't this the most inept thing to happen here? I drive a minivan, goddammit. What do you mean I'm not eligible? I just disconnected and almost didn't bother to reach another agent. But, I'm managed to collect myself and get it sorted out like last time. I'm certain this will happen again however.

On the Lyft side of things, the same issue with support, except this is about emblems. Speaking of those emblems, the adhesive is weak sauce. So, I needed new ones. You can order new ones from the site or app with the push of a button. It's suppose to arrive within week, but didn't as that time range passed. I had to contact an agent, but it was hard to do it on the app because for some reason, they have too high of expectations that problems are solved with FAQs. But this is a troubleshooting issue; there's no way they can believe things can work fine that easily all the time. I had to go to the site to get help, and they responded by arranging a new order, which did arrive. Thing is, I've had this problem since I first signed up. I didn't even get my training kit with the cool pink mustache. After those emblems wear out too soon, I had to order another pair. Here's me thinking "Maybe they sorted out that issue with the delivery". But something even worse happened:

And as of the date of this blog post, it's still like this. Why? I even contacted them with this screenshot and they just gave me an automated message saying they'll just reship the emblems. This shouldn't have to be the only way to obtain new emblems beside the Express Hubs, which is too far from where I live. And they didn't arrive this time. If I contact them about any other problem, it'll just be the same type of response instead of troubleshooting.

Now, I don't know too much about the experience with support for riders since I've not used rideshare often. But I'm sure there's similar issues. The fact that this is the type of support we receive is unacceptable. It's as if they only measure their success financially based on the quantity of users. With the money they make, you'd think they could hire more competent employees for tech support, but they just found some random people with barely any tech skills to speak of and brought them in. There's got to be some kind of union strike or something because we can't keep letting them get away with this.

PoE injector: A New Way For Enhanced Performance

A PoE injector can be really helpful for setting up cables, but you might have some questions about it. So, what exactly is a PoE injectors, and how do you use it? Well, you can use a PoE injector to power devices like IP cameras through an Ethernet cable. But which PoE injectors is the best for you? Don’t worry, we’ll answer all these questions. And if you ever need help, just reach out to the AE Connect team.

What Is a PoE Injector?

Utilizing PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices such as PoE switches, PoE media converters, and PoE injectors simplifies the process of transmitting both power and data simultaneously through Ethernet cables. Imagine setting up devices in spots without nearby power outlets—a power injector comes to the rescue! They convert regular AC power from a wall socket into a special DC power signal that works perfectly with PoE standards. It’s like giving your devices a power boost through the Ethernet cables themselves!

How Does a PoE Injector Work?

PoE injectors is basically like a power booster for Ethernet cables, which allows devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and access points to get both data and power through just one cable.

Here’s how it works:

Power Source: Power is obtained by the injector through either a wall outlet or an adapter.

Power Conversion: It turns this power into a type that devices can use, usually between 48V and 57V.

Power Input: The injector itself is powered by a direct cable connection.

Device Detection: It talks to the device over the cable to figure out how much power it needs.

Data and Power Together: It sends both power and data through the same cable.

Device Power-Up: The device gets power from the injector and can then do its job on the network.

This setup keeps things simple and tidy, reducing the need for extra cables and power outlets.

Key features of PoE injector

PoE injectors are like power boosters for Ethernet cables, making it simple to power devices like cameras and phones over the same cable used for data. Here are some key features that make the power injector handy:

1.   Plug-and-Play Setup

You can easily get started with a PoE injectors without any complicated setup or special software. They’re designed for convenience.

2.   Compatibility with Different Devices

Most injectors can power a wide range of devices that follow standards like IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt, ensuring their good cooperation.

3.   Adjustable Power Levels

Depending on the model and standard, the PoE injectors can provide different amounts of power, ranging from 44W to 150W. This flexibility lets you match the power to what your device needs.

4.   Safety First

PoE injector include safety features such as protection against short circuits and overvoltage, ensuring the power they deliver is safe and dependable.

5.   Protection Against Surges

With surge protection of up to +/- 2kV, PoE injectors are great for both indoor and outdoor setups, keeping your devices safe from sudden electrical surges.

Types of PoE injectors

The PoE injector comes in different types, each with its own way of sending power through Ethernet cables to devices. Knowing these types can help you pick the right one for what you need.

1.   Active PoE injector

Active Poe injectors are sophisticated devices that actively communicate with PoE-enabled devices to determine their power needs. They negotiate and deliver the exact amount of power required by the device, optimizing power usage and efficiency. This dynamic power delivery ensures that devices receive sufficient power without wasting energy.

Active PoE injectors are particularly beneficial for scenarios where precise power control is essential, such as in high-power devices like PTZ cameras or feature-rich access points. Although they may be slightly more expensive due to their advanced power management capabilities, their effectiveness justifies the investment in situations that demand accurate power management.

2.   Passive PoE injector

Passive PoE injectors deliver a fixed amount of power to PoE-enabled devices without negotiating power requirements. They provide a simpler and more cost-effective solution compared to active injectors. However, because they deliver a set amount of power regardless of the device’s actual needs, they may not be as efficient in power utilization. Passive Poe injectors are commonly used in simpler setups where precise power control is not critical, such as in basic IP cameras or VoIP phones.

3.   Midspan PoE injector

A Midspan injector, also known as PoE midspan or PoE++ injector, is a device placed between a non-PoE network switch and PoE-enabled devices. It adds PoE capability to existing networks without needing a PoE-enabled switch. This is great for updating older systems to support PoE devices without changing the whole network setup.

4.   Endspan PoE injector

Endspan PoE injectors, or integrated PoE switches, do double duty by combining a network switch and PoE injectors in one device. They’re perfect for new setups needing PoE support right away. Endspan injectors make things simpler by integrating PoE++ injector directly into the switch, reducing the need for extra equipment and making installations cleaner.

How to Use a PoE Injector?

Using a PoE injector is easy. Start by connecting one end of an Ethernet cable to the injector’s “Data In” or “LAN In” port and the other end to your network switch or router. Then, plug the injector into a power source using its AC adapter.

Next, connect another Ethernet cable from the injector’s “Data and Power Out” or “LAN Out” port to your PoE-enabled device, like an IP camera or access point. The injector will automatically figure out how much power your device needs and send both power and data through the cables, powering up your device without needing extra power cords.

Conclusion

PoE injectors are valuable tools that improve network connectivity by transmitting power and data through Ethernet cables simultaneously. They simplify installations, reduce clutter, and offer flexibility in network setups. With compatibility across various PoE standards, they power devices like IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones reliably. Whether upgrading existing networks with midspan injectors or setting up new installations with endspan injectors, PoE injectors plays a crucial role in modernizing and optimizing network infrastructures. Do visit us at https://aeconnect.co.in/  for any queries related to the PoE injector.
