Any smart grid is a telecommunications network for the utility and the communities it serves. 4G technologies provide any power utility with the most cost effective technology in monitoring the grid from power production to power consumption. Not only will a 4G smart grid read meters, they will also provide a range of cost saving services to the utility and the community as a whole. Mind Commerce’s new research 4G and WiMAX for the Smart Grid: Enabling Access, Applications and Affordability proposes WiMAX as a Last Mile or “Access” solution to provide a range of smart grid solutions or “Applications” which, when compared with other smart grid technologies such as Broadband over Power Line (BPL) come in at less than half the cost per household reached offering industry leading “Affordability” figures.

The research indicates that given the dilemma of US Department of energy awarding billions of dollars in smart grid grants while standards making bodies dither in providing the industry with standards, the power industry should look to the latest and greatest standards in telecommunications (Internet Protocol and 4G technologies such as WiMAX) to take advantage of federal dollars available for smart grid deployments while saving money on operating expenses. In addition, the deployment of a 4G network would enable the utility to offer wholesale and retail telecommunications services contributing new revenue streams for the utility while shortening the Return on Investment (ROI).

Any utility manager studying their smart grid options is no doubt concerned about the security of any smart grid network (foreign agents have been known to attempt to hack some parts of the US power grid), Quality of Service (QoS) issues, reliability of the technology and the potential for harmful interference to take down their smart grid network. This publication tackles those objections head-on in easy-to-understand language addressing both Last Mile and Middle Mile portions of a 4G smart grid network.

Most importantly, the paper analyses a BPL deployment in Boulder, Colorado where the power utility deployed a BPL-based smart grid at a cost of $1,000 per household reached. The research finds that a more powerful, mobile, 4G, standards-based network could have been deployed at a cost of $440 per household reached. The financial analysis offers a worksheet for power utilities to determine return on investment.

With its exhaustive analysis of 4G and smart grid, there is no other research currently available as comprehensive as 4G and WiMAX for the Smart Grid: Enabling Access, Applications and Affordability.

Key Findings:

4G Smart Grid can be deployed at half the cost of broadband over Power Line (BPL) via an off-the-shelf solution
Incremental revenue streams can be enjoyed via wholesaling telecommunications services supported by 4G smart grid applications
4G smart grid solutions provide utilities with cost savings on internal operations (mobile work force applications, etc)
Ubiquitous broadband services can be realized through the deployment of 4G in the power utilities’ market providing greater efficiencies for smart grid subsidies

Target Audience:

Power utilities companies
Renewable energy companies
Telecommunications service providers
Telecommunications vendors seeking entry to the smart grid market
Government regulatory authorities
Power sector vendors
Telecommunications and utility investors

If there is one mobile phone manufacturer which releases new models one after another, it is none other than Nokia. Unlike Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Samsung and other popular mobile phone manufacturers, Nokia releases models quicker than the average consumer can actually keep up with.

This is probably due to the fact that they are the world’s largest mobile phone manufacturer. But how does this affect the average consumer? What if the mobile phone that you purchased now becomes available with a newer, better version after a month or so?

Basically, it is a matter of what is important to you as a mobile phone user. If you want to have the latest that a mobile phone manufacturer has to offer – then you can grab the latest models that they release in the market. Or, if you are more patient, you can wait until a newer, better model comes along.

Nokia 6300 versus Nokia 6301

The Nokia 6300 and the Nokia 6301 is one classic example. At first glance, these two phones could have been different colors of the same model. The appearance of the Nokia 6300 and Nokia 6301 are almost the same.

However, the difference between the two lies in the intricacies of the features.

Here is a comprehensive look into the varying features of the Nokia 6300 and Nokia 6301 mobile phones.

1. Standby Time

With the Nokia 6301, the standby time is 310 hours. With the Nokia 6300, there are 348 hours of standby time.

2. Internal Memory

The Nokia 6301 has a 30 MB internal memory, while the Nokia 6300 only has 10 MB of internal memory or less.

3. Connectivity

When you purchase the Nokia 6301, you will have the Wi-Fi and UMA connectivity feature. This is not present at all with the Nokia 6300 model.

4. Dimensions

The Nokia 6300 has slightly smaller dimensions that the Nokia 6301 – making it a little on the lighter side.

The Features which the Nokia 6301 and the Nokia 6300 Have in Common

If there are differences, here are the features which are common to both Nokia mobile phone models:
- 240×320 pixel, 16M color display
- 3.5 hours of talk time
- 2-Megapixel camera
- USB and Bluetooth connectivity
- FM radio

Also, when it comes to the design, both phones are of the candy bar type. The material is made of stainless steel frame – and the units are really easy to handle.

The downside to the features of both the Nokia 6301 and the Nokia 6300 s that there is no auto-focus or flash included in the camera. Also, there is no 3G connectivity feature.

If you are looking for a unique feature in the design, there is a blue light on either side of the Nokia 6300 phone which glows when you have unread text messages. This is one ‘cute’ feature that users would most likely have fun with.

Now that you know about the main differences between the Nokia 6301 and the Nokia 6300, which phone would you most likely buy? If you are looking for more standby time and more internal memory capability, then the Nokia 6301is definitely the better choice.
