WiMax Is The Technology For Today

As if cable and DSL wasn't fast enough, now comes WiMax mobile-internet with average speeds of 3 to 6 Mbps and bursts of over 10 Mbps, this 4G WiMAX network gives you the speed you need to do anything you could do on your home PC or laptop except on-the-go! Stream movies, play online games and even video chat on the go. The options are endless! Why not take full advantage of the power of the Internet from wherever you are. It's amazing!

All you have to do is experience the speed of 4G for yourself and you'll know how powerful this technology can be. Today's 3G networks were built for making phone calls but the 4G WiMAX network was built just for the internet, wherever you are. This means that you have the bandwidth you need to download movies, upload videos, stream games and more-all at ridiculously fast speeds.

Think about being able to "take your business" on the road, in your car, on vacation or even just around the corner at the local coffee shop! How about just relaxing at the nearest Starbucks while chatting with your friend? What can't you do? 4G technology gives you the bandwidth to do all those things that it's slower predecessors of 3G network made so painful. Watch live soccer from Europe from the sideline of your son's soccer game in Seattle. Email a presentation from the road in seconds without having to find a coffee shop to make a connection. Download the video from that conference you couldn't attend on a train while commuting to work. The 4G speed let's you embrace the power of the internet in a whole new light.

3D Plasma Cutting Is the Technology of Choice in Structural Steel Fabricating

Structural steel is the framework or "skeleton" of a multi-story structure that is constructed with various elements including beams, columns, channels, angles, and plates. They are either welded together or connected with bolts to provide the framework to attach and secure the walls and floors of the building. These various elements are produced by steel fabricators in conformance with the designs typically drafted today with 3D CAD modeling as supplied by the building erector.

Traditionally, fabrication of the structural steel elements includes cutting and drilling using "metal against metal" techniques to create the final specified shapes and lengths of the components. The metal against metal technique utilizes the metal-toothed bandsaw to cut through a steel cross section and beam drill to cut holes or slots. Computer numerical control (CNC) technology provides increased accuracy and automation to these processes.

The plasma cutting technique emerged from plasma welding technology, offering significant advantages over metal against metal cutting. It performs clean, accurate cuts without the by-product of metal chips. It also has the ability to cut through greater metal thicknesses than laser cutting technology. Today's CNC technology allows for flexible, "on demand" cutting of diverse shapes using 3D systems with programmable industrial robots. Increased cutting accuracy and decreased cutting time is optimized by moving the robot plasma cutting head around the element being cut.

The advances in 3D plasma cutting technology replace the need for bandsaws, beam drill lines, and other older methods with a single unified, automated system for the fabrication of most structural steel components. The higher speeds, increased accuracy, and lower cost makes 3D plasma cutting today's technology of choice.
