Full-Featured Single Fiber Fusion Splicer

October 28th, 2009 Posted inGAO Comm News

Toronto, Canada – GAO Comm has rolled out its innovative single fiber fusion splicer featuring auto-check of fiber end-face, auto-calculation of the splicing loss, auto-select suitable fusion program and simultaneous X and Y views. It is intended for splicing dispersion shifted, non-zero dispersion shifted, and erbium doped fibers; it is suitable for both single mode (SM) and multi-mode (MM) fiber optic applications. Fusion splicing is preferred over mechanical splices for its inherent durability and strength.

This fusion splicer, model 1202, has an optional outer heater which can heat 4 protecting sleeves simultaneously. It contains a large memory and is able to store 5,000 groups of splice results. The splicer automatically adjusts to environmental conditions using built-in temperature, humidity and pressure sensors which provide constant feedback signals to control the fusion arc temperature. The average splicing loss is 0.01dB in multi-mode and 0.02dB in single mode; the typical splicing time is ten seconds; the typical heating time is 60s.

NEDA: LTO’s RFID illegal

October 25th, 2009 Posted inGAO Comm News

MANILA, Philippines – The controversial radio frequency identification (RFID) or “spy chip” project of the Land Transportation Office (LTO) is illegal, according to the National Economic and Development Authority.

NEDA Director General Augusto Santos told congressmen during the recent plenary debates on the 2010 national budget that such a project must be approved by his agency’s investment coordinating committee as required by regulations.

Santos confirmed the statement of his predecessor, former economic planning secretary Ralph Recto, that NEDA did not pass upon the RFID plan as to its necessity and reasonableness of the fee that the public would have to shoulder because it was not submitted to the agency.

He made the confirmation in answer to questions raised by Agusan del Sur Rep. Rodolfo Plaza, who vowed to question LTO’s RFID project even before the courts.

Also in response to Plaza, Santos said if NEDA approves the RFID plan, LTO would have to conduct a public bidding for the supply of the chips.

The agency cannot negotiate with and give the multibillion-peso contract to a favored supplier, he said.

Plaza said LTO chief Arturo Lumibao wants to punish all motor vehicle owners for his agency’s failure to flush out unregistered vehicles and unauthorized public utility jeepneys and buses.

He said Lumibao would make each of the more than five million motor vehicle owners throughout the country pay P350 for his RFID chip just so he and his people could run after violators of transportation and traffic rules.

Under the plan, each vehicle would be required to have two RFID chips – one in its front windshield and one at the back – upon registration or renewal of registration.

The chip would contain information about the vehicle and its owner. LTO plans to give certain law enforcers with RFID readers to check on motor vehicles.

This has alarmed many motor vehicle owners and human rights and privacy advocates, who said the government could use the RFID chip for spying. They said it could also be used for harassment and extortion.

LTO’s favored chip supplier reportedly stands to make at least P2 billion from the project.

Because of the huge amount involved, Plaza said some LTO officials and their administration backers are obviously out to raise election campaign funds.

“This is a one-for-the-road deal that these corrupt officials and their padrinos in high places are making almost on the eve of the election campaign,” he said.

Because of the controversy it has generated, President Arroyo has ordered Lumibao to shelve his RFID project for further study.

Lumibao however has expressed determination to push through with his “spy” chip plan.

India poised to implement RFID highway tolling system

October 19th, 2009 Posted inGAO Comm News

Monday, October 19, 2009 in News

The Indian government is looking to adopt a nation-wide RFID-enabled open road tolling (ORT) system, in which motorists would pay one toll electronically as opposed to constantly stopping at toll booths.

On October 31, the ministry of road, transport and highways (MoRTH) will begin a six-month pilot project testing the merit of three different ORT systems, each on its own stretch of highway.


One of the highways will host an active RFID system, the second a passive RFID system, and the third an infrared system.

After six months an independent third party will evaluate the results and decide on a system.

The Indian government expects the new toll system will expedite highway traffic and greatly reduce the amount of time commercial vehicles spend at toll booths. There is a toll booth every 60 km in India, so a driver traveling from Delhi to Mumbai has to stop at approximately 20 toll booths, according to a report on the Hindustan Times.
