Joomla!, OPen Source Content Management Systems Release Version 1.5If you’re new to Web publishing systems, you’ll find that Joomla! delivers sophisticated solutions to your online needs. It can deliver a robust enterprise-level Web site, empowered by endless extensibility for your bespoke publishing needs. Moreover, it is often the system of choice for small business or home users who want a professional looking site that’s simple to deploy and use. We do content right.

So what’s the catch? How much does this system cost?

Well, there’s good news … and more good news! Joomla! 1.5 is free, it is released under an Open Source license – the GNU/General Public License v 2.0. Had you invested in a mainstream, commercial alternative, there’d be nothing but moths left in your wallet and to add new functionality would probably mean taking out a second mortgage each time you wanted something adding!

Joomla! changes all that …
Joomla! is different from the normal models for content management software. For a start, it’s not complicated. Joomla! has been developed for everybody, and anybody can develop it further. It is designed to work (primarily) with other Open Source, free, software such as PHP, MySQL, and Apache.

It is easy to install and administer, and is reliable.

Joomla! doesn’t even require the user or administrator of the system to know HTML to operate it once it’s up and running.

To get the perfect Web site with all the functionality that you require for your particular application may take additional time and effort, but with the Joomla! Community support that is available and the many Third Party Developers actively creating and releasing new Extensions for the 1.5 platform on an almost daily basis, there is likely to be something out there to meet your needs. Or you could develop your own Extensions and make these available to the rest of the community.

Yangquan Coal Industry (Group) Co., Ltd, a large state-owned coal enterprise in China, has selected Nokia Siemens Networks as its major supplier to migrate its traditional fixed network to a Next Generation Network (NGN) Solution that will provide the company with new, converged voice and data applications and multi-media services. Nokia Siemens Networks’ solution will allow Yangquan to introduce these new communication services quickly and cost effectively.

The decision to upgrade was prompted by the inefficiency of Yangquan Coal Industry Group’s current company-wide network, which required support for two different PSTN switches. The NGN solution from Nokia Siemens Networks will optimize the company’s existing fixed network by replacing the legacy switches, provide an increased number of flexible access nodes, and implement an Integrated Access Device (IAD), a customer-hosted device that acts as a media gateway for accessing an IP network that will enable Yangquan Coal Industry Group to efficiently scale up to the number of users.

Says Zheng Haishan, Chairman of Telecommunications Technology Company Of Yangquan Coal Industry Group, “When we decided to upgrade our existing network and were evaluating between vendors, what struck us about Nokia Siemens Networks was their high performance products, rich, technical expertise, good service support and customer-focused attitude. We are keen to work with them to deliver new age flexible voice and multimedia services to our end users.”

As the first step, Yangquan Coal Industry Group will deploy Nokia Siemens Networks’ hiE9200 softswitch, the Trunk Gateway hiG1100, the Access Gateway Controller hiG1600, IAD and Digital Line Unit (DLU), which connects analog and PBX phones, in order to replace Yangquan’s existing access equipments. The company will simultaneously launch a SIP-based Application Server to offer VoIP-based voice & data converged service and multimedia applications such as video phone, color ring back tone, voice mailbox and soft SIP-phone.

Zhang Tong, Head of China Alternative Carriers, Nokia Siemens Networks Greater China region adds, “The deal is especially significant for us since it marks our first commercial NGN contract for a non-carrier customer in mainland China. It is a good showcase to other enterprise customers that we have strong capability to provide effective and flexible NGN solutions.”

Just over a year after it began operations, Nokia Siemens Networks has published its first annual corporate responsibility report. Amongst the goals outlined in the report is an overall commitment to have a net positive impact on the environment. In addition, the report provides the company’s initial position and activities on a number of other corporate responsibility issues.

“Although impossible to link local weather phenomenon to climate change, this year’s Vappu* marks the end of a record warm winter in Finland, an apt reminder that we can all act more responsibly with respect to our impact on the planet,” said Simon Beresford-Wylie, chief executive officer, Nokia Siemens Networks. “With this report we acknowledge the significant positive impact that a global company like Nokia Siemens Networks can have on the environment.”

In the report Nokia Siemens Networks has outlined specific energy efficiency targets for its operations. In addition, it outlines measures to improve the environmental impact of the communications services and solutions it provides to leading telecoms operators around the world. Further details of these can be found in the notes for editors*.

In addition to environmental factors, the initial report provides the company’s position on a range of corporate responsibility issues including ethics, employees, suppliers, health and society.

The report opens with a message from Beresford-Wylie which states: “Corporate responsibility is an essential part of our business. It begins with operating ethically and sustainably and extends to the broader impact of our actions and our industry. Telecommunications can bring tremendous benefits to society by connecting people and communities to new opportunities, creating economic growth, enabling the open sharing of information and reducing the adverse environmental impact of a wide range of activities. With our size and global reach, Nokia Siemens Networks can play an instrumental role in setting an example of corporate responsibility for the industry as a whole.”
