App A Month – Plan for 2011
I had said previously that there is an interesting announcement to be made for the new year. Its just a small project I am going to take up called “App a month”. Actually its 12 small projects one for each month.
Yes, in the year of 2011, I am going to develop and release an app every month. The reason I am going to try this experiment is simple. I guess many of you must have experienced this.
- I waste loads of time reading hacker news and Google Reader.
- I read about lots of cool stuff, but never end up building something.
I am going to see if atleast by publicly announcing this app-a-month project, I will be able to beat my laziness and get some value out of the hours of seeing the laptop.
I will be blogging about my experiences and things I learn at appamonth.blogial.com and would also be tweeting at @appamonth. Do follow me and encourage me into completing each project.
And Happy New Year to all you guys. Have a great year ahead.

LTE – Long Term Evolution
We have all used several wireless networks for multiple tasks, yet one thing they all lack is the concept of singularity in communication. For cellular we use HSDPA/HSUPA( our latest 3.5 G) or 2G networks in some countries, WIFI – IEEE 802.11a/b/g for our Internet access also some of the land lines are wireless differing in technologies. For each of this technology to exist different equipments and frequency bands are used. What LTE does is unify all this into a single entity for communication making the end-user save money and feel the comfort. WiMAX is a serious competitor to this technology but it loses to LTE one all grounds except for its deployment, which is complete in few countries.
Background :
Evolution Of networks
LTE – Long Term Evolution is one of the latest communication technology that is currently being tested and deployed. LTE falls under 3G dubbed as 3.99G and LTE-Advanced is 4G compliant. 3GPP Release 8 defines the standards for LTE and Release 10 pertains to defining the standards for LTE-Advanced. LTE was formulated as a result of study on Evolved UTRA(Universal Terrestrial Radio Access) done by 3GPP. The System Architecture Evolution(SAE) – all IP based network is the core Network Architecture for establishing a LTE Network.
Happy Birthday Anish
Today is Anish’s birthday and even though I had known him for more than 12 years, I hadn’t known or remembered his birthday all these years. But this year, I had asked him earlier and set up alerts in my mobile and Google Calendar. So, Happy birthday Anish.
