You can find almost anything here thick jungle as green as can be, crystal blue waters that feel more like a warm bath than a swim in the ocean, and food that can curl your nose hairs while dancing across your taste buds. Exotic, yet safe cheap, yet equipped with every modern amenity you need, there is something for every interest and every price bracket, from beach front backpacker bungalows to some of the best luxury hotels in the world. And despite the heavy flow of tourism, Thailand retains its quintessential Thai ness, with a culture and history all its own and a carefree people famed for their smiles and their fun seeking sanuk lifestyle. Many travellers come to Thailand and extend their stay well beyond their original plans and others never find a reason to leave. Whatever your cup of tea, they know how to make it in Thailand. This is not to say that Thailand doesnt have its downsides, including the considerable growing pains of an economy where an agricultural labourer is lucky to earn 3. BMWs. Bangkok, the capital, is notorious for its traffic jams and rampant development has wrecked much of once beautiful Pattaya and Phuket. In heavily touristed areas, some lowlifes have made scamming tourists into an art form. Immigration queues are often long, giving travellers bad first and last impressions. And in the extremely rare cases when tourists are attacked or murdered, there is often little police follow up. The Tourism Authority of Thailand TAT TAT, Tourism Authority of Thailand 1.

Ayutthaya, which ruled most of present day Thailand and much of todays Laos and Cambodia as well, eventually also absorbing the northern kingdom of Lanna. Ayutthaya was sacked in 1. Burmese, but King Taksin regrouped and founded a new capital at Thonburi. His successor, General Chakri, moved across the river to Bangkok and became King Rama I, the founding father of the Chakri dynasty that rules constitutionally to this day. Known as Siam until 1. Thailand is the only Southeast Asian country never to have been colonised by a foreign power, and is fiercely proud of that fact. A bloodless revolution in 1. During World War II, while Japan conquered the rest of Southeast Asia, only Thailand was not conquered by the Japanese due to smart political moves. In alliance with Japan during World War II, Thailand became a US ally following the conflict. After a string of military dictatorships and quickly toppled civilian Prime Ministers, Thailand finally stabilized into a fair approximation of a democracy and the economy boomed through tourism and industry. Above it all presided King Bhumibol Adulyadej Rama IX, the worlds longest reigning monarch and a deeply loved and respected figure of near mythic proportions. In September 2. 00. Thaksin Shinawatras democratically elected but widely criticized government, exposing a fault line between the urban elite that has ruled Thailand and the rural masses that supported Thaksin. Thaksin went into exile and a series of unstable governments followed, with the successors of Thaksins Thai Rak Thai party and the royalist conservative Peoples Alliance for Democracy duelling both behind the scenes and, occasionally, out in the streets, culminating in Bangkoks airports being seized and shut down for a week in November 2. The political scene remains in flux and the direction of the country once the ailing King passes away is a major question mark because of the perceived inadequacy of the current heir. PoliticseditThailand is in theory still a constitutional monarchy, with the king as a very highly respected and revered Head of State, but there have been repeated military coups and as of 2. A draft new constitution would greatly limit the power of elected governments. In practice, the kings role is largely ceremonial, with the Prime Minister holding the most authority in government. However, the king and the royal family are still protected by strict lse majest laws, which stipulate long jail terms for anybody convicted of insulting the king or any other members of the royal family. This can include jokes or even very indirect references. Cisco 8. 19 Series Integrated Services Routers FAQCisco Machine to Machine IOS Gateway. G Wireless WAN Technology. Q. What is 3. GWhat are the 3. G standards groups A. Third generation 3. G is the term for the latest generation of mobile services, which provide advanced voice communications and high speed data connectivity, including access to the Internet, mobile data applications, and multimedia content. The ITU, working with industry standards groups from around the world, has defined the technical requirements and standards as well as the spectrum for 3. G systems under the International Mobile Telecommunications 2. IMT 2. 00. 0 program. The ITU requires that IMT 2. G networks deliver among other capabilities improved system capacity and spectrum efficiency over 2. G systems and that they support data services at minimum transmission rates of 1. Mbps in fixed indoor environments. Q. What is the difference between EVDO and HSPA A. EVDO and HSPA are parallel 3. G data standards in the Code Division Multiple Access CDMA and Global System for Mobile Communications GSM environments. EVDO evolved from the Code Division Multiple Access 2. CDMA2. 00. 0 standards, whereas high speed packet access HSPA evolved from the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System UMTS standard that was developed for the countries using GSM technology. Q. In general, what is the level of adherence to the 3. G Partnership Project 2 3. GPP2 For example, does the Cisco. G PCI Express Minicard Standard Form Factor F2 support EVDO Rev A quality of service Qo. S A. Adherence to the EIATIA and CDMA Development Group CDG standards depends on the carrier implementation and a combination of modem hardware and firmware and software. All Cisco 3. G PCI Express Minicard Standard Form Factor F2 modems comply with the standards, but the specifics of carrier implementations vary by carrier. Q. Who are the carriers examples for CDMA and GSM 3. G standards A. 1x. RTT, EVDO Rev. 0, and Rev. A CDMA technologies used in the United States do not require SIM cards. The examples of such carriers are Verizon and Sprint. GSM based technologies require SIM cards to be installed in the device such carriers include AT T, T Mobile, Vodafone, etc. Please refer to the. Cisco 8. 19 Data Sheet for more information. Q. Does the Cisco 3. G PCI Express Minicard Standard Form Factor F2 support Mobile IP or Simple IP only A. The CDMA 3. G PCI Express Minicards Standard Form Factor F2 support Mobile IP MIP on the modem. Depending on the configuration on the carrier network, it could be set to either MIP only or MIP preferred mode. In the MIP preferred mode, when MIP fails, the modem falls back to Simple IP. The GSM 3. G wireless WAN WWAN does not have a Mobile IP stack. Q. How does the modem select the service to which to attach Does it switch to a better service when one is available A. Yes. For GSM networks, the modem always looks for HSPAHSPA as the first choice. If HSPAHSPA is not available, the modem downshifts to the next best available radio network that is, UMTS to EDGE and finally to General Packet Radio Service GPRS. If you have only EDGE service, the modem continues to scan in the background for UMTS or HSPA service. If the UMTS or HSPA service becomes available, the modem automatically switches to that service. Lotus Notes 8.5 4 For Windows. For CDMA networks, the modem always looks for EVDO Rev A first, then Rev 0, and then 1x. RTT. Q. What factors affect throughput on the 3. G WWAN A. Several factors can affect throughput and performance. Congestion 3. G WWAN data services use a shared wireless medium therefore, the number of active users in a cell site affects throughput. Coverage The distance from the cell tower affects throughput. The further you are located from the cell tower, the lower the achievable throughput. A site survey is recommended as part of the installation process to help ensure adequate network coverage. Interference RF noise from nearby devices can inhibit performance. Q. Are the Cisco 3. G WWAN interfaces suitable for use as primary links A. The 3. G wireless standards for data rate and latency performance have continuously improved. Today both Evolution Data Optimized or Evolution Data only EVDO and HSPA services offer fractional T1 data rates and latency below 1. For sites and applications that have low and intermittent data usage such as bank ATMs, kiosks, and gas stations, the Cisco 3. G WWAN interface may be suitable. Q. Can I run voice over IP Vo. IP traffic over Cisco 3. G WWAN Express Cards A. Yes. It is recommended to use the latest 3. G technologyEVDO Rev A and HSPAHSPAto run Vo. IP over a 3. G link. Q. Is latency a problem with the Cisco 3. G solution A. Latencies vary by technology. Depending on the service available in your area and the applications you are running over your link, latency may be a concern. The most advanced technologies support latencies of less than 1.
