Accordingly, most of the applications are running on the web and this is an advantage in this application is compatible with other smartphones.

FireFox web browser using Mozilla's computer had achieved much success but before the explosion of mobile technologies FireFox become difficult competition especially when it is not licensed by Apple to run on the iOS platform also on the open source Android platform FireFox is limited pretty much by the binding.

Before such a situation, Mozilla had to build an operating system for FireFox. The study began in 2011 and was finally introduced. 

Mozilla event officially entered the war open-source mobile platform has surprised many people by main rival FireFox OS will be Android.

However, it is very difficult to say that FireFox OS does not make a story. First this was a completely free platform, similar to Android. Monday, FireFox OS can run well on low hardware devices, while Android is processed slow or even can't work in these devices.

Notably, FireFox next OS is an open source platform. Developers can edit arbitrary, provided that may help your application or service can be operated smoothly. If compared with the closed operating system is designed, it is clear that FireFox OS has a superior strength.

Also, FireFox OS also promises by written based on HTML 5 so developers easily build applications for the mobile operating system. It is also an advantage of the platform FireFox.

Another notable point is that Mozilla says it has persuaded its 18 networks and 4 support for FireFox mobile OS. Although, technology analysts say as if that was not enough to beat the power of Google Android and Apple iOS, but at least make sure FireFox OS not overshadowed before the official hand users.

Even in the early days of the new platform launch of Mozilla a number of technology companies has introduced the first product run FireFox OS as Alcatel One Touch Fire, ZTE Open and most recently as a model Geeksphone Peak.

However, more prominent in the number of technology companies and is promising to march into the mobile market with Mozilla FireFox platform, Sony. Page technology Slash Gear on 26/2, said the Japanese electronics company announced it would introduce to the market the mobile devices using open source operating systems FireFox in 2014.

Bob Ishida, Deputy CEO of Sony said that its engineers are working with with Mozilla technology companies to develop "one or more device run FireFox platforms".

In the context of South Korea's Samsung Electronics has publicly stated that there is no interest in open source operating systems FireFox because there must concentrate to develop Tizen platform the Sony is a chance to dominate segment smartphone running FireFox platforms OS and a real competitor of Sony when it only electronics company LG.

However, according to analysts, way ahead of Firefox OS is not flat, easy go. According to estimates by analyst firm Gartner as of Q4 / 2012 past rival Android platform is said to be in direct competition with the Firefox OS coming time accounted for 70% of global smartphone market share while iOS holding 21%.

Thus, to prevail, FireFox OS needs to attract more consumers as well as further application development.

Top 5 Developments Of The Telecommunication Systems In 2013

Top 5 Developments Of The Telecommunication Systems In 2013: At a press conference MWC 2013 Event Group President and CEO of Ericsson Hans Vestberg highlighted five trends will take place in 2013 comes from the increasing demand of consumers for quality and operational capacity of telecommunications networks.

Here are five trends that Hans Vestberg said:

Smartphones will account for over 50% of the number of telephone main warehouse and will be the average price line. Consumers will use more and more applications and data connections between a variety of devices such as in the transportation industry, the electricity industry.

The number of mobile Internet users will be greater than a fixed number of Internet users. Average each household has three people connected to the Internet. And service providers to extend service to the field of to conquer new revenue funds to leverage the power influenced the mobile industry to other industries.

The number of mobile broadband subscribers will surpass 2 billion. Interactive connections between people, devices and information will require methods of cost flexibility and diversity.

The average smartphone user will use 20 MB / day. Therefore the requirements of customers in diverse service experience and quality will make the telecommunications network to prioritize network efficiency and quality.

4G continues to grow with the number of LTE subscribers is expected to exceed 100 million. And the network will continue to create competition based on the quality of the network to ensure the provision of diverse services and quality for our customers.

At MWC 2013, Ericsson also announced significant project "window may participate in the transmission of mobile broadband" one of a series of solutions to realize the vision of "connected society".

Ericsson said it was a project to explore and test innovative applications when connected to conventional glass windows and turn windows in our daily living environment becomes transmission equipment.

Ericsson test antenna using transparent turn ordinary window into a part of the mobile broadband network  increasing coverage for indoor environments providing quality mobile environment between buildings or when use public transport to go to work. 

Thus a bus can be expanded or a custom office entertainment. Windows can become table notes the information and then email those notes.

Connect with windows to provide additional spectrum for the control automated curtains, with cloud computing management for ventilation, lighting. Solutions can reduce energy consumption in buildings. 

By attaching the device solar energy to produce electricity, the application can provide power to operate.

This approach will support the telecommunication network process the restrictions on the spectrum and the construction of the station in order to ensure the quality of mobile services.
