How big (or small) is femto?

by Prakash Sangam
A femto is incredibly… infinitesimally… extraordinarily small! It’s actually one quadrillionth of a unit, which, in other terms, is one part of a number that has 15 zeros! Well, the femto that I am going discuss here is not that femto. The one I’m talking about is femtocell, which has lots of buzz around it these days.

by Prakash Sangam
We hosted an exciting webinar with Fierce Wireless a few days ago. We introduced a new format, in which our audience was the focus, and we dedicated most of the session to their CDMA/EV-DO questions. The response was very enthusiastic – it was a constant flow of questions that were either pre-submitted before the webinar or were asked live. After the seminar, the flow of queries continued on our Twitter and Facebook pages.

by Prakash Sangam
When does a split-second separate life from death? Can you think of any real-life practical situations? How about when you’re playing the World of Warcraft® multi-user game? How much would it be worth to get that split-second edge over your opponent? Within the game, it could be worth everything. But...how much would you actually pay for it?
