O2 Broadband price hike!

O2 Broadband has increased prices for the second time now in three months. The price change will be a high rise in some plans whilst some plans will see a very nominal low price rise. Recently there was a price hike due to the VAT rate being revised to 20%. Customers were still adjusting to the VAT increase and O2 has already announced another revision to its prices. But O2 says this prise hike is very essential at this moment to help them continue with their investments.

According to a recent O2 statement these investments are very essential as internet has changed over years and the quality of service too needs to go hand in hand with this change. The needs of users are increasing each day be it in terms of speed or usage and O2 with these investments are trying to meet every requirement of its user. They also added that from the time they have introduced their Home Broadband and Home Packages they have kept a constant price level across all their different packages.

And along with maintaining these price levels they have made sure to not compromise on their service level. But now it is difficult to do so in this climate if the prices remain the same. Thus they believe the prices have to increase that small bit to continue their world class service.

The high price will be observed mainly on the old unlimited packages which O2 users have been enjoying at a nominal cost till date. But now there will be a high price hike to be able to meet the higher costs involved in delivering these unlimited packages.

There will be a standard hike of £5 on all the Access products. Again there is a high hike rise in the Access plan as O2 was previously offering this plan at a very low cost to gain customers at an introduction price. But now to cover up those losses, O2 will hike the Access plan by £5 straight.
The rest of the plans will see a low price hike. Home phone price will also be changing but the price changes will be nominal.

Antenova launches the new GPS Antenna

Antenova who is a leading supplier and manufacturer of integrated antennas to enable wireless communication launches a new GPS Antenna named Acuta A10415 GPS Antenna. It plans to release Acuta A10415 as a substitute to the existing ceramic patch antenna. This ceramic antenna with a dimension of approximately 12x12mm is currently used as a standard antenna in most of the GPS enabled devices which include navigation systems, cell phone device and other such similar handhelds.

But Antenova now wishes to replace these existing ceramic patch antennas with a much thinner Acuta A10415 Antenna hoping to retain the performance as the present antenna. The Acuta A10415 will have a dimension of 25.0 x 5.0 x 4.0mm. But being thin will not reduce the capability of this GPS device. This high performance antenna will in fact cost less than the current bulkier antennas and will operate at 1575MHz which is apt for L1-band and A-GPS systems.

The CEO of Antenova, Mr. Greg McCray says Antenova realized the need of thinner antenna at the right time as more and more portable devices are coming up with GPS capabilities and GPS antennas like the Acuta A10415 will become very essential to maintain the portability of the device. He also added that the Acuta A10415 will be a very simple device and can be fitted in almost any GPS device without the need of any physical modification. This is possible as the Acuta A10415 can be easily tuned on any of the host PCB.

BT Broadband Home Hub – designed for maximum convenience with minimum hassle for you and your family. All your bases covered in terms of internet use in your house and communications.

The Research and Development Director for Antenova, Mr. Devis Iellici says the low cost of Acuta is possible to achieve as most of the materials like costly RF connectors, coaxial cables and mounting frames are not required at all. All of these advantages over the standard ceramic antenna will definitely help replace those old bulky antennas.
