EM-TECH SEMINARS DAY2 (August 7, 2010)


FOURTH TOPIC: Evolution Business Intelligence
Business Intelligence is said to be a computer-based technique that can help spot, gather, analyze, or provide access to important data that can help users make better business decisions. The speaker gave us some preview on the evolution of Business Intelligence as well as how Business Intelligence is connected to Information practices. In addition to that, the speaker says that through the use of this, users can process massive volume of data, which can be expanded through the use of social networking sites.

Business Intelligence gives us some important benefits as discussed in the seminar. These benefits would be accuracy of data and at the same time improves data security. It also helps users to have faster decision making. Lastly, it enables users to generate meaningful analysis. I think Business Intelligence combined with information practices will help businesses improve efficiency when it comes to decision making. This seminar gives us some knowledge on handling business in the future, especially those who aspires to be one of those well-known businessmen in the future.

FIFTH TOPIC: 4G WiMAX-Tribe
4G WiMAX-Tribe is a wireless internet broadband service provider that is similar to the well-known Globe Tattoo that many people are currently using. It utilizes 4G technology called WiMAX or Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access that provides wireless transmission of data using a variety of transmission modes. It is said in the seminar that $G WiMAX is the fourth generation of cellular communications 10 times faster than they are on current. It says that it uses more bandwidth which is faster compared to other broadband. It can also access Multimedia rich websites and is said to have a long-term evolution. Discussing the trend of the 2G, 3G, and 4G in terms of browsing internet on the phone, Wi tribe is a 4G WiMAX which has a 1 GB data transfer rate of 2mbps.

In this case, the 4G WiMAX-Tribe is very useful especially for us students and for people who are working. We can access the internet anywhere we want and it is faster compared to other broadband. I researched its price and found out that Wi-Tribe will be offering its unlimited Starter Package at 998 pesos per month with 1Mbps actual speed (up to 3GB download volume per month, speed tapering at 256kbps in excess of 3GB). Surf between 1AM to 7PM and your 3GB download volume capacity will not be affected. It uses a wi-tribe BOOM 4G Broadband Modem (Motorola “MOTOWI4 CPEi 150″ Home Modem). I think this would be very useful for us especially people who loves downloading games, videos, music, movies, and the like in the internet. For students like us, it can be useful for our school researches and some video tutorials that we need.
