Bharti Airtel has awarded a telecom infrastructure expansion contract worth around Rs300 crore to embattled Chinese gear major Huawei , multiple people aware of the development said. "This is kind of a deal which is considered massive in this space. Airtel has already issued a procurement order (PO) to Huawei," a senior executive working with Huawei's rival company told ET. "...the value of this deal is a major part of Airtel's overall capex budget for non-radio network." The deal is part of an ongoing Airtel process to find replacements for its National Long Distance (NLD) network which is currently run by Huawei. NLD optical transport network is considered to be crucial as it carries inter-circle and international traffic and helps manage the network capacity. It also carries internet traffic and traffic from main landing stations. Huawei and Airtel didn’t respond to ET’s emailed queries. The contract comes as a respite for the Chinese company which is facing huge … [Read more...] about Huawei bags Rs 300 crore network expansion contract from Bharti Airtel

T-Mobile announced some new services for enterprise customers today, including wireless Home Office Internet. Part of a trio of services T-Mobile is calling WFX, Home Office Internet is designed to complement customers’ standard home internet with a separate cellular-based Wi-Fi network. The goal is to provide a reliable, secure connection for business customers without having to worry about sharing bandwidth with the rest of the household. Home Office Internet is an extension of the LTE-based wireless home broadband consumer service that’s being piloted now, and it works in basically the same way. Users receive a router and can self-install the network. It uses 4G and 5G signals and, like the consumer service, includes a potentially important caveat: customers are subject to deprioritization slowdowns at times when the network is busy. That’s an annoyance for anyone but would be particularly bad for customers trying to conduct business on the network. Home Office Internet will … [Read more...] about T-Mobile’s home office internet is a separate cellular-based Wi-Fi network for enterprise customers

Thalang Police were notified of an incident on Thepkrassattri Road in front of the Thalang District Health Office at 11:50 last night (May 14).

PHUKET: The Mai Khao region in Phuket’s northwest has long been home to breeding Andaman sea turtles, not to mention an abundance of other species of flora and fauna, although Homo Touristicus remained noticeable by their absence until quite recently. Nowadays, that’s all changed, as a gathering influx of both tourists and residents flood this formerly quiet corner. The opportunities for quiet, traffic-free cycling in beguiling surroundings, it seems, are certainly still a major draw for Phuket’s lycra louts. Peace and quiet are becoming rare on Phuket and are now found only in a few places, of which Mai Khao is definitely one. Here, there’s still a vision of a tropical island as it used to be. The sand stretches for miles, palms sway in the breeze and the sea is begging for you to swim, although seasonal rip tides need to be carefully researched prior to jumping in. There are a few big-name Mai Khao resorts now, but on the whole the area has yet to be overtaken by development. … [Read more...] about Go north to Mai Khao and the Sarasin Bridge

PHUKET: Medical tourism and the hordes of foreign customers it brings to Thailand and Phuket’s shores is on a steady rise, with the Tourism Authority of Thailand reporting more than 2.5 million international patients travelling to the Kingdom for treatments in 2012 and predicting an increase of 13% per annum. One dental clinic conglomerate, Dental Corporation Co Ltd, started filling the market cavities years ago, and its business-savvy CEO recently sat down with the Phuket Gazette to talk about the changing tides of medical tourism and what his company has in store for Thailand and Phuket’s tourists and local residents. Dr Pornsak Tantapakul, DDS, who graduated with an orthodontic certificate degree from New York University before moving on to earn a degree in lingual orthodontic technique from Eastman Dental Institute at the University College in London, told the Gazette he saw a significant increase in the number of overseas patients visit his clinic soon after his return to … [Read more...] about Visionary dentist bridges gap in Phuket dental market
