USALS and DisEqC 1.2 Since 1999, the main aim of STAB research has been to solve the problems associated with the dish motor installation and to enable end users to buy STAB motors from their retailer and install them easily, anywhere in the world. USALS is a calculation system processed by STAB of Italy and given free to all manufacturers of satellite receivers and PC cards. However, with USALS all you have to do is point the dish towards a satellite at the centre of the arc and USALD will automatically find and store the rest. www.satcure.co.uk /tech/usals.htm   (798 words)

Universal Satellites Automatic Location System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Universal Satellites Automatic Location System (USALS), also known (unofficially) as DiSEqC 1.3, Go X or Go to XX is a satellite motor protocol that automatically creates a list of available satellite positions in a motorised satellite dish setup. Software on the satellite receiver (or external positioner) calculates the position of all available satellites from an initial location (input by the user), which is the latitude and longitude relative to Earth. As it is not an open standard, for a receiver to carry the USALS logo it must undergo a certification test STAB's laboratories. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/USALS   (300 words)

My Broadband :: Telecoms : Viability eludes rural telecoms providers Given all these factors, the Usals can be blamed for their misery because they took this huge task with no clear understanding of how the telecoms market works. The chairman of the Usals Forum, Bule Mhlongo, says the problem with the government is that it does not know how to deal with the Usals. Critical to the Usals' success is the 800 megahertz spectrum allocation, which allows telecoms operators to offer wireless services. www.mybroadband.co.za /nephp/?m=show&id=4926   (910 words)

Gibertini 2ci0 85cm motorised satellite system USALS mathematically calculates where a satellite is located. Exceptionally quiet operation means you can move the dish at any time without waking the neighbors and proven durability with dishes up to 1 metre giving access to over 30 satellites so you get the best choice of satellite television programming. If your receiver is USALS T compatible, you can easily install an entire motorized system in just a few hours. www.fmdigitals.co.uk /complete/gbsat-2ci0-85-dish.htm   (255 words)

Another expensive failure Of the seven Usals, four generated a combined revenue of R2,4m in their first six months of operation, two have not disclosed any figures and one has yet to begin operating. For Usaasa, Usals are not only about providing a telecom service in underserviced areas but also about increasing the number of fl entrepreneurs participating in the sector. Kuzwayo recommends measures to improve their business case: radio frequency must be made available to Usals immediately, the subsidy must be raised and backed by other support measures, and Usals must be allowed to interconnect on a cost basis. www.hellkom.co.za /articles/view.php?id=2870   (589 words)

Media Centre - Vodacom and USALs bring cellular to rural areas Vodacom invited the USALs to select their appropriate employees and make them part of the learnership programmes in Vodacom that are available through the SETA grants. This will enable the USALs to get skills transfer into their respective organisations which are vital for a smooth start up phase of their businesses. Thus, USALs will be able to move their customers off the Vodacom network and services over time, as and when the USALs construct their own network infrastructure. www.vodafone.com /article_with_thumbnail/0,3038,OPCO=41150&CATEGORY_ID=210&MT_ID=pr&LANGUAGE_ID=5&CONTENT_ID=260098,00.html   (492 words)

H-H 120 by Stab | HH120   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) USALS is a calculation program, not a communication protocol as an alternative to DiSeqC 1.2. USALS calculates the position of the satellites with the precision of less than.01 degree, all in a totally automatic mode. USALS capable satellite receivers available on this website are: Arion AF-1500E, Arion AF-1900CI and the Samsung SFT702-M. The H-H120 will easily move dishes up to 120cm in diameter. www.primefocus.com /products/HH120.html   (627 words)

USALS and DiSEqC 1.2 For Mere Mortals - Al7bar .tk FTA Satellite Television Community, Audio/Video and more! The results of the USALS calculations for each satellite are stored in the receiver's memory and not in the motor controller's memory. USALS makes the same type of calculations from true south, therefore, the program must have both the latitude and longitude and satellite longitude as input variables. The primary objective of the USALS algorithm is to determine the number of degrees of rotation east or west from true south (the motor's primary reference point) is necessary to point the dish at the selected satellite. www.al7bar.tk /Forums/showthread.php?t=42795   (1540 words)

ICASA to conduct public hearings on under-serviced area licences: CommsUpdate : TeleGeography Research South Africa’s telecoms watchdog the Independent Communications Authority of SA (ICASA) is holding public hearings into the so-called ‘under-serviced area licences' (USALS) between 21 January and 26 February - part of the government’s ongoing drive to liberalise the market and stimulate access to poorly served rural communities. The USALS will license small operators to set up operations in areas of the country with a low teledensity: ICASA says it has already received 14 applications for the ten licences on offer. The regulator hopes to see a ministerial decree on the USALS by the end of April. www.telegeography.com /cu/article.php?article_id=2690   (126 words)

Fortec STAB HH MOTOR MOUNT HH90 DiSEQC 1.2 USALS GOTO X The principal of a motorized system is that the dish moves from east to west to track the satellites positioned along the Clarke belt. This is a DiSEqC 1.2 and USALS compliant motor mount. Once you initially setup the motor on the satellite arc and store the locations of the satellites, you will be able to move between satellites by simply changing the channel. www.sadoun.com /Sat/Products/STAB/HH90-Stab-HH-Diseqc-USALS-Motor.htm   (737 words)

World Dialogue on Regulation The deadline for applications for the second round of USALs was extended from February 21 to April 22 by communications minister Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri to give enough time to carry out a series of awareness raising road shows in the regions where they are due to be awarded. Moleele says that when ICASA makes this announcement, the next step in the process will be the opening of bids for public inspection and written comment, after which public hearings on the second round of bidding will be held. The USALs form part of government's commitment to a liberalised telecommunications sector, and will ultimately see small operators being established to serve 27 areas with a very low telecom service penetration, of which six have so far been licensed. www.regulateonline.org /content/view/395/32   (275 words)

IOL Technology - Struggling telecoms operators look to councils But according to a report released by research firm BMI-TechKnowledge, all the Usals are struggling to break even. Lyndall Shope-Mafole, the director-general of the department of communications, said late last year that the government was talking to the municipalities, which had a clear understanding of the information and communications technology (ICT) industry and how it could benefit their operations. It would be highly practical for municipalities and Usals to share the same frequency spectrum, as this would allow more efficient use of this resource. www.ioltechnology.co.za /article_page.php?from=rss_IOLTechHome&iSectionId=2883&iArticleId=3641680   (934 words)

Satellite dish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Overly small dishes can still cause problems, however, including rain fade and interference from adjacent satellites. Motorised satellite dishes are still popular with enthusiasts, and three competing standards, which are often all supported by a set-top box, DiSEqC, USALS, and 36v Positioners. A common misconception is that the LNBF (low-noise block/feedhorn), the device at the front of the dish, receives the signal directly from the atmosphere. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Satellite_dish   (562 words)

My Broadband :: 3G & Cellular : SA'S USALS GET OFF TO A SLOW START BY RESELLING MOBILE MINUTES The terms for the licence were set by ICASA in the invitation tenders issued in January 2005:“the licence shall include at a minimum local voice telephone services, fixed mobile, data services, emergency services, directory services, voice over internet protocol, public pay phone and operator-assisted services. The USALs shall take into account the requirements of business and residential users and the provision of modern information services.” As Amatole Telecom CEO Mike Matibe explained, there is no restriction on the type of telephony service offering nor on the technology used.

DiSEqC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia They are all back compatible - a DiSEqC 2.0 receiver can control a 1.0 switch; but a 1.0 receiver cannot control motorised features. The terms DiSEqC 1.3 and 2.3 are often used by manufacturers and retailers to refer to other protocols (1.3 usually refers to USALS receivers), but these uses are not authorised by Eutelsat, the developers of the system, who now act as the protocol standards agency. Eutelsat apparently developed the system to allow satellite users in Continental Europe to switch between the more popular SES Astra 1 block of satellites and Eutelsat's own Hotbird system. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/DiSEqC   (343 words)

IOL Technology - Rural telecom licensees face failure - report Johannesburg - The underserviced area licensees (Usals) were heading for failure unless their current financial model and licensing requirements were amended, industry experts warned yesterday. Usals do not have their own networks and have roaming agreements with cellular operators MTN and Vodacom. BMI-T director Mandla Kuzwayo said the Usals' hope to post a profit before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation in the third year of operation was "unrealistic". www.ioltechnology.co.za /article_page.php?iArticleId=3419567   (554 words)
