Picture this

Article Abstract:

As telephones become increasingly sophisticated in what they can do, the look of them is changing as well. An Image Phone, which is worn like glasses, lets the user view images and documents while conversing. The Window Phone lets users decide what level of privacy they want when on the telephone, unlike a video phone. The Smart Card Phone is a wallet-sized casing with a receiver, transmitter and cards to customize the telephone's functions in it. Users will use voice activated command in conjunction with the cards for automatic dialing and entry through security systems. Communicator gloves are worn on the hand with the microphone and speaker on the thumb and the fourth finger. The transmitter is fastened with Velcro into the glove's cuff. Personal Action Devices are pocket-sized screens and wands that transmit on microwave bandwidths, activated by touch sensitivity. These can be linked to a computer for information access.

Phone technology is opening up new worlds

Article Abstract:

Telecom 1991 shows the innovations in cellular and satellite communications from the telecommunications equipment industry. The exhibits at the the trade show in Geneva, Switzerland, show off the newest products in cellular radio equipment, fiber optics, digital communications and satellite equipment. Industry analysts and those speaking at the trade show point to the low cost and shorter time frames for installing cellular communication systems compared to more traditional networks. This affects international communications, so that less developed countries are able to take advantage to the latest technology to accelerate the implementation of telecommunications networks. US West for example is installing systems in Leningrad, Kiev and other cities in the USSR. The cost of earth stations is dropping and thus they are being set up in such remote locations as Papua New Guinea.
