hMailServer

hMailServer is a free e-mail server for Microsoft Windows. It supports all the common e-mail protocols (IMAP, SMTP and POP3) and comes with an easy-to-use COM library that can be used for integration with other software. It also has support for virtual domains, distribution lists, antivirus, antispam, aliases, distributed domains and much more. E-mail data is stored in a database server, MySQL or MS SQL, depending on your choice.

The hMailServer installation contains a minimal MySQL-installation, so if you don't already have a database server in your network, MySQL is installed automatically when you install hMailServer.

Webmail ASP

Webmail ASP
A webmail server gives users the ability to view their e-mail from anywhere on the Internet. At work, at home, or on vacation, as long as they have an Internet connection, e-mail is always accessible from an easy to use web-based interface generated by the webmail server. The whole system consists of three pieces: the POP3/SMTP server (not included), which handles the communication with the other mail servers when sending and receiving messages; the webmail server, which adds GUI and DB services to that; and the web browser, which provides the front end where the interface is rendered. The webmail server is in between the actual mail box and the web client, using the POP/SMTP protocols on one side and the HTTP protocol on the other.

RoundCube

RoundCube webmail is meant to be a modern, ajax-driven webmail solution which is easy to install/configure and that runs on a standard PHP/MySQL configuration. The skins use the latest web standards such as XHTML and CSS 2. The project includes open-source classes/libraries like PEAR and the IMAP wrapper from IlohaMail.org.
Install RoundCube with IIS and hMailServer
There's a nice how-to about the installation of RoundCube on a Windows box with IIS6 and hMailServer. NOTE: Make sure you set temp_dir in main.inc.php to an absolute path as otherwise users may run into issues with attaching files to emails.

Introduction to Telecommunications Network Engineering

Introduction to Telecommunications Network Engineering

By Tarmo Anttalainen

Today's networking professionals can turn to this comprehensive, newly revised introduction to telecom and data communications for a clear and succinct explanation of the networking essentials they need to know.

The New US Military Radio System

The Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS, often pronounced "jitters") is planned as the next-generation voice-and-data radio for use by the U.S. military in field operations after 2010. Launched with a Mission Needs Statement in 1997 and a subsequent requirements document in 1998 (which has been revised several times), JTRS is a software-defined radio that will work with many existing military and civilian radios. It includes integrated encryption and Wideband Networking Software to create mobile ad hoc networks (MANet).

The functionality and expandability of the Joint Tactical Radio System are built upon the Software Communications Architecture (SCA), an open-architecture framework that tells designers how hardware and software are to operate in harmony. It governs the structure and operation of the JTRS, enabling programmable radios to load waveforms, run applications, and be networked into an integrated system. A Core Framework, providing a standard operating environment, must be implemented on every hardware set. Interoperability among radio sets is increased because the same waveform software can be easily ported to all radios.

The Object Management Group (OMG), a not-for-profit consortium that produces and maintains computer industry specifications for interoperable enterprise applications, is working toward building an international commercial standard based on the SCA.

My Comments

• More information
  
• it need to watch for future military radio network design
  
• The first JTRS ORD compliant radios that are expected to go into limited rate production (LRIP) are the MIDS-J and Small Form Fit A radios. Both are expected to enter LRIP in fiscal year 2009 (FY09). The JTRS Ground Mobile Radio, Manpack and Handheld Radios are expected to enter LRIP in FY11. The JTRS AMF-Small Airborne and Maritime radios are expected to enter LRIP in FY12.
• The JTRS program has been beset by delays and cost overruns

Parameterized Ionospheric Model

Propagation Models in AREPS

About AREPS
The Advanced Refractive Effects Prediction System (AREPS) program computes and displays a number of electromagnetic (EM) system performance assessment tactical decision aids. These are radar probability of detection, electronic surveillance measure (ESM) vulnerability, HF to EHF communications, simultaneous radar detection and ESM vulnerability, and surface-search detection ranges. All decision aids are displayed as functions of range, bearing, and or height. Detection probability, ESM vulnerability, and communications assessments are based on electromagnetic (EM) system parameters stored in a changeable database you maintain. Paths containing land features depend on terrain data either obtained from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s (NGA) Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) or specified from your own source. Using a mouse or other pointing device, you may display many additional pieces of information, including height, range, latitude, and longitude from the decision aid’s geographical center, terrain elevations, and propagation loss values.


Propagation Models
AREPS contains several EM propagation models for applications at various frequencies. For frequencies of 2 MHz to 57 GHz, AREPS uses the Advanced Propagation Model (APM). APM is a hybrid model that uses the complimentary strengths of both ray optics and parabolic equation methods to construct a fast, but yet very accurate, composite model. Depending upon the requirements of the tactical decision aid, APM will run in several different modes. For the full hybrid mode, APM has proven to be much faster than PE models alone, with overall accuracy at least as good as the pure PE models. With its airborne sub-model, APM can solve problems for very high elevation angles, that PE methods would not normally be used. APM includes the ability to model absorption by oxygen and water vapor.
For HF sky wave communications, AREPS uses a HF model suite consisting of a fully 3-dimensional ionosphere raytrace model, an HF field strength model, and an HF noise model. In addition to these EM propagation models, AREPS may optionally use two internationally recognized ionosphere models, the Parameterized Ionospheric Model (PIM) and the International Reference Ionosphere.

My Remarks

• Currently using in US Force
• Continental scale operation
• DoD property not for sell
• APM source code is no longer available but they seem willing to provide, if we contract them
