The Long Trip From HSDPA To LTE

Most of we Internet users are familiar with the term HSDPA. Of course, when you want to buy the modem you are presented some information on HSDPA, there are states with 7.2 Mbps also some accompanying figures 3.6 Mbps. However, what is the difference in these numbers?

From the information available, HSDPA stands for High Speed Downlink Packet Access, which means as the communication protocol third generation mobile telephony, better known by the family of 3G HSPA (High Speed Packet Access).

It protocols of this type is providing support to all networks using UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System), which has a transfer speed and data capacity is higher. Today, HSPA support downloads speeds of 1.8 up to 14.4 Mbit / sec. The first phase of HSDPA is specified in 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) Release 5. This phase introduces basic functionalities that aim to achieve the speed downloading up to 14.4 Mbit / sec. This 3GPP-based system was implemented so that the speed in the surf using HSDPA USB modem is very pleasant.

The second phase of the HSDPA of course also influenced by the 3GPP, but, in this second phase is determined by what is now the seventh release HSPA Envolved. Data's speeds can reach about 42 Mbit /sec, with the help of an array antenna technology such as beamforming and MIMO (Multiple Input and Multiple Output). 

Where are beamforming to focus on the performance of the power delivered from an antenna in a beam toward the user so that the MIMO using many antennas on the sending and receiving data.

After HSPA Evolved, the next direction is the E-UTRA which was formerly known as HSOPA. It is a technology that is being developed for the specification of 3GPP Release 8. The project is now known as LTE (Long Term Evolution), which provides support in the form of download service with speeds above 320 Mbit /sec and upload at 170 Mbit / sec.

Best Android Emulators For PC

Android emulators have become increasingly fashionable in recent years. This isn’t surprising since they’re easy to access and they offer the perfect way of benefiting from the range of Android apps directly on your computer. Scroll down for our list of the best Android emulators on PC.

Which Android emulators are best for a Windows PC?
Remember: firstly, it’s important to know that the fluidity and speed of the task execution with these emulators depends on your computer’s performances, although some of them have additional optimizations for some processors and graphics chips. In addition to this, you’ll notice that the interface doesn’t change much, apart from the number of options displayed, which are more or less numerous depending on what the user opts for. All the emulators listed here can be installed and used for free, but additional features and removing any adverts will require payment.

BlueStacks (Android 4.4.2 emulator for PC)
To date, BlueStacks has been the most popular emulator, and probably the most stable, in terms of reliability in apps. Why is that? Having used it myself for a while on some of my devices, I never had to pay for anything; this can often appear to be rather intrusive. Unless you do Ctrl + Alt + Delete to kill the tasks running in the background of Windows, BlueStacks gives you the option – and it tells you in an explicit message – to display advertising that promotes apps in order to continue using the service for free. Otherwise, you'd have to pay a sum of money to stop the advertising and you can then use the service without any interruptions.

Anyone can use BlueStacks for free and without limits, with or without a Google account as it will simulate a submarine OS on your PC. Currently, BlueStacks is the most reliable Android emulator offered for Windows, in addition to offering foolproof compatibility with all kinds of PCs. You don’t need to have a brand new PC for the emulator to work properly as it can run on a 2013 desktop without too many issues, although an additional graphics chip is recommended. In conclusion, BlueStacks works hand in hand with streamers with its openness towards Twitch.

Nox App Player (Android 4.4.2 emulator for PC)
Nox is just as fluid as BlueStacks and even faster. It's a solution that was released not too long ago and looks promising. Far from being as remarkable as a normal PC, I was pleasantly surprised by the task execution speed of the emulator, although some elements did give it a run for its money. This was particularly an issue with power-hungry games. I didn't notice many problems with regard to app usage, aside from the non-compatibility of some apps.

Although a longer test period would be needed to verify this, my first test of the Nox App Player made me want to install it. Currently, Nox App Player has a significant advantage over BlueStacks: it’s free. In addition to being free, there’s also no advertising. To perfect the user experience, the emulator replicates a range of functions, just like those on an Android smartphone. If you have a touch screen, you can simulate the touch feature. And that’s not all: you can also do screenshots (of photos or videos), volume control, installation of an APK file, restarting and multiple sessions.

Droid4X (Android 4.4.2 KitKat emulator for PC)
Droid4X, which is also free, may not have the most attractive interface but it works perfectly. Unlike other closed off emulators, this one is more open as it allows the user to have control, including all basic Android settings. In terms of fluidity, it’s good but far from being as successful as the two other emulators mentioned above.

Like the previously mentioned emulators, you can also store videos, as well as pictures of your face (with the help of a webcam). For those who want to give gaming a go, it's worth noting that gaming controllers are also compatible. To verify the controllers, Droid4X asks you to scan a QR code. In the emulator’s settings, you can change the display resolution as well as the emulator’s performance level. As a general rule, it’s recommended that you allocate no more than half of your PC’s capacity to this. For example, you'll need to allocate 2 GB out of the 4 GB of RAM and 2 out of the 4 quad-core processor cores.

Andy OS (Android 4.2.2 emulator for PC)
Although I have had little to do with it over the years (because I didn’t need it), Andy OS was the alternative that I used for a long time to get away from some of the boring/cumbersome aspects of BlueStacks. The Andy OS emulator, which is completely free, has developed significantly over the last few months resulting in an improved navigation mechanism that is more responsive with a mouse. Prior to this, Andy OS couldn't process a long tap. In the game Clash of Clans, I’ll let you imagine the ordeal that I experienced in creating squads. As well as being great ergonomically, the interface is also more attractive with its mix of KitKat and Marshmallow. It’s different but pleasant to use.

Unlike the three other emulators installed on KitKat (Android 4.4+), Andy OS isn’t as advanced as it was shut down during the second version of Jelly Bean (Android 4.2.2). In terms of features, it’s also slightly less comprehensive than the others. On the other hand, it offers excellent stability at all levels. In summary, the emulator is completely free if you download it for personal use. If it’s for business, Andy OS charges $12 per month or $99 per year. By purchasing this version, professionals or users that wish to contribute are provided with emulator compatibility on Mac and Linux, as well as Windows, and also with Premium support and access to all of Andy OS’s previous versions.

How To Make Your Videos The Most-Viewed On YouTube

In order to appear in the first few spots on Google and YouTube, uploading a video to your channel and putting a catchy title isn’t enough, instead there are a series of YouTube SEO techniques necessary for you to know so you can get the most out of video marketing, whether it be to attract more traffic to your website, increase your visibility, become known, increase engagement, generate more leads, increase conversion rates or whatever other objective you have set.

Below, we’re going to share the 10 techniques you must apply to do well on YouTube:

Take care of your YouTube channel’s appearance:
First impressions count, so tend to your YouTube channel’s design and make it attractive and pleasurable to look at.
Choose a user name that identifies with your brand and with what you want to transmit, the same goes for your profile picture and cover photo.

What’s ideal is for you to choose a responsive design, meaning, one that’s adapted to different types of devices, and also try to make a good channel description with keywords related to your niche or market sector.
Additionally, you can put an opening video in the upper part of your channel so it will be displayed to new visitors who have not yet subscribed to your channel (in fact, this is a highly recommended option that more and more brands are utilizing).
The video should be brief, introduce your channel to your audience, and engages or invites users to subscribe by inserting several notations.

Create play lists:
Having all your videos classified and listed on various play lists is going to be very useful for organizing your information.
Not only this, but playlists also appear in search results which, if you use them to group different videos in addition to facilitating replays of all the videos on this list, you will also be helping your channel appear in YouTube results which can increase your visibility.

Research your audience, and don’t lose sight of your competition:
One of the advantages of YouTube SEO is that it’s very simple, among other things, because the platform provides you with various reports and statistics on your visits; age, gender, and location for example.
All this will help you to know who has seen your videos and who your audience really is so you can get an idea on how to continue.

Analyzing your competition will also be very useful to you since not only will you be able to see what they’re doing, how they’re doing it and how things are going for them, but you can also see what keywords they’re using to position their videos.

Define your video’s keywords:
One of the most important steps for obtaining success in YouTube SEO is taking the necessary time in researching what your keywords are going to be, thus playing it safe when you optimize your video.
There are numerous ways to do this, for example, checking out what the most common searches are in your sector by using YouTube’s search, or you can even use Google Trends to compare various similar terms searched for and see their trends. There is also Google AdWords Keyword Planner for seeing how many monthly searches a specific words have.

Create interesting, unique and relevant content:
As much as videos work well, they still need to be optimized so when your audience views them they do it because they want to find something of value.
This means that you have to create content that is interesting, useful and unique and that is oriented towards satisfying your audience’s needs. Remember, there is nothing more direct than content marketing so try to respond to your audience’s possible questions and concerns in your videos.

Furthermore, try to make your videos evergreen, meaning that the content never dies: and before wrapping up your video, add calls to action based on your goals: visiting your blog, commenting or sharing it on social networks.
And remember, Google classifies videos based on how people interact with them, so the more visits and interactions, the better the positioning.

Select a “SEO friendly” title for your video:
Your title is a key piece for YouTube SEO and one of the most forgotten, thus you must include a keyword -even more so at the beginning of the title-.
Furthermore, a video’s title is one of the reasons people chose to click on it or not, both directly from YouTube and if you share it on social networks or send it via email. Thus you need an appealing and flashy title that calls to action. And above all, try not to exceed 60 characters.

Reduce the number of adverts displayed on a particular video:
As much as we would all like to monetize our videos for income, we should also bear in mind that not all users would love to stand and watch them. Thus leading to a higher bounce rate. Ads should be short and simple and even added to the end of every successful video upload.

I would personally advice not to place ads on videos that are trending or going viral, your channels reputation should be all that matters and with time you would have more views and subscribers.

Final words: Keep in mind that words such as “advice”, “mistakes”, “how to” and other similar ones peak your audiences interest and make more clickable titles. If have any contributions or question drop them in the comment section below.

Business Ideas To Grow, A Business That Will Outlive You

Startups are appearing on the tech scene almost every day. This is good news because it shows that quite a number of people have embraced the Internet as a means of transacting business.

But at the same time, many of these startups with great potentials have disappeared due to the wrong execution of their growth and marketing strategy.

Growth is key, yet growing a startup is really hard and most founders struggle with it.

Do things you do not require in the long run
When your startup is taking its first step, make sure you get your friends and family to work with you and use your product. Don’t just stop there, you can also share what you do on blogs and engage with potential users over social media. You will get useful comments that will make your product more attractive and acceptable.

Focus on a small niche
Since you are just starting, it is better to focus on a small niche or market because it will be much more manageable. So, don’t go too broad quickly. You are more likely to grow by narrowing your target audience, better understanding customer needs, building more focused products, and tailoring your marketing message to a specific audience.

Don't chase money
Having a startup should never be about getting rich quick. Successful startups that achieve growth early on are the ones that focus on innovation and providing unique, valuable solutions for consumers.

Regularly review strategic areas of your startup
In the beginning, you probably laid out clear plans the strategic areas of your startup, including operations, sales/marketing, and finance. But if you want your startup to achieve growth, you need to regularly analyse and review these areas.

Delegate and trust, but verify
One of the key problems many entrepreneurs have is trying to do too many things at the same time. If you manage everything yourself, you can ensure it works out in the smoothest way possible. But know that doing this will make you experience entrepreneurial burnout and this can hinder your startup's growth. So, trust the members of your team and know when to delegate. The important thing is for you to follow up and verify whatever they are doing.
