1. Field of the Invention
The present invention concerns a microwave antenna terminal applicable to two-way mobile in-motion communication systems using geostationary satellites, and capable of supporting concurrent two-way data transfer and satellite TV reception.
2. Description of the Related Art
Existing systems and technologies, which are known in the art provide for the following capabilities:
One disadvantage of existing two-way systems, whether fixed or transportable, is their considerable height and unattractive appearance, limiting applications and customer appeal for moving platforms. A further disadvantage is the inability of existing systems and technologies for land based vehicles to provide mobile systems with broad band two-way data communications, including Internet and telephone access, that would enhance communication capabilities for commercial, recreational and any other mobile-based activities, using a variety of vehicular transportation in both densely populated and remote locations. Yet another disadvantage is the inability of existing systems and technologies to provide mobile systems with a combination of concurrent two-way data communications and television reception capabilities for commercial, recreational and other activities.
As used herein, the term "transportable" refers to systems that may be moved by vehicles from one place to another, but wherein operation is limited to the case when the vehicle is parked, i.e. stationary. "Mobile" or "in-motion" refers to systems that may be operated while the vehicle is moving.
A low profile mobile in-motion antenna and transmit/receive terminal system for two-way data type communication using data service at frequencies in a first frequency band, supporting at the same time concurrent TV signal reception of signals broadcast in a second frequency band, such communication being with the same satellite or with two or more satellites located at the same or close geo-stationary orbital position. For purposes of the present invention, satellites at substantially the same orbital location would be within the beam width of the mobile in-motion antenna, typically within a range of 0 to 0.3 degrees of orbital location.
In particular, the present invention enables and facilitates the applications of broadband data communications and satellite TV reception at a wide variety of moving vehicles such as recreational vehicles (RVs), sport utility vehicles (SUVs), buses, trucks, trains, automobiles, boats, and even aircraft. For example, one application would enable passengers in a vehicle to make a wireless "always on" broadband connection to the Internet from a personal computer inside the vehicle at the same time that other passengers are watching satellite TV broadcasts from, for example, the DirecTV network. This could be done in a consumer vehicle and also in commercial vehicles such as buses and trains. In that case, passengers could open their laptop computers and perform customary Internet functions such as e-mail and Web browsing. Other passengers could be watching satellite TV.
In another example application, the two-way satellite connection and the Global Positioning System (GPS) information included with the invention system, which provides the location of the vehicle, could be interfaced with the vehicle's telematics system to provide up-to-date downloads of information for navigation, location of local hotels, restaurants, and local points of interest. The active two-way communication link could also be used to obtain real time emergency assistance where the vehicle's location would be communicated to the emergency assistance organization.
For commercial vehicles such as trains, buses and aircraft, the Internet connectivity enabled by the invention allows provision of wireless "hot spots" covering the inside of the moving vehicle. The satellite TV portion of the system could also be used to distribute programming to individual seats, if desired.
For commercial trucks, the invention combines vehicle location information and "always on" connectivity that may be used for dispatch and routing by a central authority.
Embodiments of the invention are described below in detail with reference to the following drawings in which like reference numerals refer to like elements wherein:
The following describes in detail exemplary embodiments of the invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The claims alone represent the metes and bounds of the invention. The discussed implementations, embodiments and advantages are merely exemplary and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention. The description of the present invention is intended to be illustrative, and is not intended to limit the scope of the claims. Many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
The present invention comprises a terminal system alone or in combination with a low-profile antenna, that is suitable for use with a variety of vehicles, for in-motion satellite communications in support of concurrent two-way data transfer and satellite broadcast TV reception. With reference to the illustration in
In an exemplary embodiment relevant to the U.S., two-way data communications is provided by using one or more satellites in the U.S. Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) frequency band of 11.7-12.2 GHz for reception (downlink or forward link) and 14.0-14.5 GHz for transmit (uplink or return link) and simultaneous TV programs reception in 12.2-12.7 GHz Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) or Broadcast Satellite Service (BSS) band from the same or close orbital location. The terminal system 120 includes an antenna 125 that is mounted on or into the roof of the vehicle and, preferably, has a low profile form that is attractive for application to mobile platforms, such as cars, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), vans, recreation vehicles (RVs), trains, buses, boats or aircraft. The lower profile facilitates terminal installation directly on or into the roof of the mobile platform, keeping the overall aerodynamic properties of the vehicle almost unchanged. The terminal system 120 also has a communications subsystem that is operative to provide the concurrent two-way data and television reception capability by appropriately processing the uplink and downlink signals at different frequency bands.
The components within the shell 201 are coupled by cables 202 to an interior unit 203, which can contain the components necessary for data and video processing that can be off-loaded in order to reduce the profile of the shell 201. The interior unit can be coupled by the cables 202 to a video display 206 or jack for a computer or other data interface device. As illustrated in
Another embodiment comprises an antenna panel (phased array) with fully electronic beam steering, along with polarization adjustment, of the type already mentioned. An extremely low profile of antenna package can be achieved, allowing antenna terminal integration within the vehicle roof. With reference to
The proposed low profile antenna terminal meets the above-mentioned objective, comprising low profile transmit and receive antennas, beam control system, sensors, down and up converters, modems, radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers, and interface with data and TV receivers.
It is clear that similar terminals for different frequency bands, e.g. portions of the bands available in Europe and elsewhere in the world (e.g., 10.7-12.75 GHz for reception and 13.75-14.5 GHz for transmission), are included within the field of this invention.
Such a system that functions as a low-profile in-motion low-profile VSAT and DBS reception system is not presently available.
The low profile transmit and receive antennas comprise one or several flat antenna arrays, in the form of panels according to a non-limiting example, each containing a plurality of dual port radiating elements (patches, apertures etc.), passive summation circuits and active components. Each antenna array has two independent outputs each one dedicated to one of the two orthogonal linear polarizations. In case of a multi-array or multi-panel antenna embodiment, signals coming or going to the different antenna arrays are phased and summed or divided by final combining block, with phase and amplitude controlling components.
The signals from the two antenna outputs with two orthogonal linear polarizations are then processed in polarization control devices in order to adjust the polarization tilt in case of linear polarization. Such adjustment may be implemented by using the information for antenna terminal position with respect to the selected satellite, received by a GPS device and for the vehicle inclination angle, received, for example, by an inclination sensor. At the same time, receive panel outputs are processed for circular polarization in the case of U.S. DBS reception. Another possibility for providing a polarization adjustment is to use the −3 dB symmetrical points (45 degree tilt) or by checking the antenna cross polarization at the hub station.
By one embodiment, the signals coming from the receive antenna outputs are divided and applied to two independent down converters comprising the polarization forming circuits and dedicated to reception separately in the FSS and DBS/BSS bands. It is convenient to form two orthogonal linear polarizations with adjustable polarization offset for processing the signals in the FSS band and at the same time two circular polarizations for processing signals in the DBS/BSS band.
By another embodiment transmit and receive antennas are arranged on the same rotating platform in order to ensure exact pointing to the selected satellite using tracking in receive mode.
It is useful to stack the signals at first intermediate frequency, connected with the two (LH and RH) circular polarizations, coming out of the two DBS down converters, and to transfer them to the static platform of the terminal using one and the same rotary joint device.
By another embodiment the signal transfer between static and rotary platform is made using a wireless connection (using for example Wi-Fi or Bluetooth technology) thereby eliminating the need for a rotary joint for the continuously rotatable azimuth platform.
By another embodiment the connection between outdoor unit set top box and the indoor equipment in the vehicle also may be accomplished using wireless technology (for example Wi-Fi or Bluetooth technology)
The beam pointing is accomplished by mechanical rotation in azimuth plane of the platform, comprising transmit and receive antenna panels, and by mechanical, electronic or mixed steering in the elevation plane. In certain cases, beam steering in azimuth and elevation could also be accomplished by entirely electronic means.
The motors or electronic steering components are controlled by a CPU using the information, supplied by the direction sensor (such as a "gyro") and received signal strength indicator (RSSI) blocks.
The preferred application for the invention is a low profile antenna terminal, of the type schematically illustrated in
The terminal 120 consists of a low profile antenna 125, rotating platform 11, static platform 13 and indoor unit 14. The rotating platform comprises: transmit (Tx) 30 and receive (Rx) 31 sections. The preferred shape of the antenna 125 comprises thin arrays, in a non-limiting embodiment flat panels, in order to decrease the overall height of the overall system. A terminal based on reflectors or lenses is feasible but generally will occupy a larger volume on the vehicle and may be less attractive.
The antenna array may be a panel constructed using phased array antenna technology and comprising a plurality of dual port radiating elements (e.g., the antenna panel architecture and technology used are described in detail in the patent application "Flat Mobile Antenna" PCT/BG/04/00011), designed to work in transmit mode in the 13.75-14.5 GHz frequency band, which is incorporated herein by reference.
As illustrated in
With reference to the illustration in
The two combining and phasing blocks 20, each one dedicated to one of the two independent linear polarizations (designated as V—vertical and H—horizontal) is operative to properly phase and combine the signals coming from the antenna panels outputs and to supply H-polarized and V-polarized signals to the polarization control device 9 and polarization forming device 4. Polarization control device 9 is operative to control and match the polarization offset of the linearly polarized FSS signals with respect to the satellite position, using the information supplied by GPS module 18 and possibly the inclination sensor 29. Polarization forming device 4 is operative to form a left hand circular polarization (LHCP) and a right hand circular polarization (RHCP) in order to process the DBS signals. The RHCP and LHCP signals are provided to down converter 3, and then forwarded to the receiver 17 in the indoor unit 14, as illustrated in
The down converter 10 receives the FSS signals, while the down converter 3 receives the DBS signals. In one non-limiting but exemplary implementation, a rotary joint 19 is used to supply down converted signals coming from the DBS down converter 3 to the indoor unit. The signals, which relate to the left hand (LH) and right hand (RH) polarizations, are stacked in frequency using a stacker circuit, integrated into the DBS down converter 3, in order to use one and the same rotary joint unit 19. The IF signals coming from the FSS down converter 10 are supplied to the IF/baseband transceiver block 21, which is connected to the indoor equipment (inside the vehicle). Preferably, the connection is wireless, employing wireless modules 22.
A received signal strength Indicator (RSSI) and recognition module 26 and the IF/baseband transceiver block 21 are connected to the FSS down converter 10 and the up converter 23, and all may be arranged on the same rotation platform.
As illustrated in
The static platform comprises DC slip rings 15 in order to transfer DC and digital control signals to the rotating platform, static part of the RF rotary joint 19, part of the azimuth movement mechanics, DC power injector 25 and the terminal supporting structure, which typically is in the form of a case.
The indoor unit 14 includes digital and DC power supply interface 16, satellite receiver 17 and power injector 25 in order to supply DC to the outdoor unit.
In the VSAT system for data communications, a digital interface may be provided for PC, telephone line, and the like, either on the rotating platform or in the vehicle.
The communications terminal as disclosed herein can operate in a manner that can provide in-motion mobile communication for direct broadcast satellite television reception and two-way data communication. According to the method, as illustrated in
The foregoing embodiments and advantages are merely exemplary and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention. The description of the present invention is intended to be illustrative, and is not intended to limit the scope of the claims. Many alternatives, modifications, and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

By MOISEKAPENDA BOWER
NEW ORLEANS - Rice coach Wayne Graham was making his way to the team bus before realizing that his input was requested following the Owls' stressful 11-8 win over Tulane at Turchin Stadium on Saturday.
After his progress was halted, Graham spun around, caught sight of an aluminum staircase nearby, and plopped down. This interview would be conducted with Graham in a seated position, and no one could blame him if fatigue, both physical and mental, clutched Graham that moment.
Senior righthander Mike Ojala (2-0) turned a 10-1 lead over to his bullpen only to watch helplessly as Tulane (21-11, 5-3 Conference USA) chipped away over its final four at-bats. By the time junior lefthander Abel Gonzales entered with one out in the ninth inning, he twice faced batters representing the tying run before retiring right fielder Brandon Boudreaux on a called third strike to seal the victory and set the stage for the Owls (18-14, 5-3) to claim their first road series win on Sunday.
"We had some guys do some good work with the bat, and we played an errorless game," Graham said. "We scored a lot of runs (but) some people we need to be able to count on we're horribly disappointed in."
In what proved to be a tale of two games, the Owls performed brilliantly through their sixth innings. Diego Seastrunk, who skewered his defensive effort in the series opener, recorded three singles and four RBIs through his opening four at-bats. His two-run single in the first gave Rice its first inning scoring more than one run since the second frame of the series finale against Houston last week. Seastrunk, serving as the designated hitter, added RBI singles in the third and sixth, the latter as part of a three-run frame that increased the Owls' lead to 10-1.
The exceptional offensive execution extended beyond Seastrunk. Left fielder Jeremy Rathjen reached and scored in each of his first four plate appearances, including a three-run home run off Tulane starter Robby Broach for a 7-0 lead in the fourth. Broach had already surrendered eight hits prior to facing Rathjen for a third time, and Rathjen was 2-for-2 against Broach before stepping in with Jimmy Comerota and Chad Mozingo on base. Despite those facts, and that Ryan Doiron had been warming in the Tulane bullpen for quite a while, Broach was allowed to face Rathjen, who promptly scorched 1-0 pitch out to left-center field.
"I wasn't really thinking about (the pitcher). I was just trying to see who was out there and hit them," said Rathjen, who was 3-for-5 with three RBIs. "I'm glad they left (Broach) out there. He was getting a little tired."
Mozingo finished 4-for-5 with two runs and two stolen bases atop the order while Comerota was 3-for-4 with two runs batting ninth, and by the time Ojala wrapped up his longest outing since his return from midsummer Tommy John surgery, the offensive explosion seemed gratuitous. But Tulane scored five runs in the sixth, two on bases-loaded walks, before closer Tyler Duffey snuffed the rally and pitched into the ninth, when Gonzales ably closed the door on the rallying Green Wave.
The late dramatics nearly spoiled what was a landmark outing for Ojala. Graham had carefully extended Ojala with each appearance, and aimed to make his third start last at least four innings. Ojala exceeded those expectations, thanks in large part to a six-pitch third inning. Ojala did allow an RBI single to Tulane shortstop Garrett Cannizaro in the fourth, but in the fifth he retired Brian Barry and Boudreaux on one pitch each to exit the game one pitch shy of his predetermined count of 60 pitches.
As Rice moves forward in attempting to establish a set weekend rotation and a reliable bullpen, the knowledge that Ojala is increasingly able to deliver such stellar performances only enhances that first goal.
"It was great because I haven't felt that in a long, long time - not since last year," Ojala said of finishing the fifth. "It feels good to come out of a game, be able to take a deep breath and say, `All right, you did your job.'"
Said Graham: "That's the biggest thing of all because if we can straighten out a little bit, that puts us in play having a quality starter like that."
The Owls are locked in a four-way tie atop the C-USA standings, and a victory over Tulane on Sunday would secure at least a slice of first place.

Sleep Brainwave for Mac1.1
editor's review
buy now $12.99
Sleep is a very important part of one's life, and can interfere with your energy level, enthusiasm, and other aspects of your day to day activity. A sleep cycle is formed from multiple stages, going from superficial to deep sleep.
Sleep Brainwave is a simple Mac app that includes a collection of Isochronic Tones that will help the listener go through the stages at a different rhythm, according to the sleep pattern you want to establish: dive quickly and deeply, short nap, counting sheep, or deep sleep.
Stylish audio player that integrates seamlessly with your desktop
Within the Sleep Brainwave main window you have the option to switch between different brainwave patterns in order to get to different stages of sleep. This way, you can either power nap or gradually dive into a deep and relaxing sleep.
The app comes with a simple track management bar that includes basic playback tools: play or pause, go back or go forward, and a slider bar to monitor the progress. In addition, Sleep Brainwave also comes with different graphic animations that can be visualized while listening to the Isochronic Tones recordings.
Improve your sleeping by personalizing the playback methods
By default, any of the Sleep Brainwave audio tracks will play once and then stop. Via the app's Time Settings panel you have the option to setup a timer that can play the recording in a loop for as long as you want.
Moreover, the app also includes an Informations panel that includes tips and tricks on what to do to sleep better, and a visualization exercise for submerging in a relaxing deep sleep.
Alternative solution for improving one's sleeping pattern
The Sleep Brainwave app is designed to help you get relaxing and restful sleeping sessions without having to use pills: simply listen to the Isochronic Tones and let yourself guided through different sleep stages.

Live updates: Israeli-Palestinian violence
Inside the hidden world of hostage taking
29 Jan 2013 08:26 GMT | Politics, Africa, Chad, France, Greece
French and Malian troops have taken control of the historic Malian city of Timbuktu, after rebel occupiers fled the ancient Sahara trading town and torched several buildings, including a priceless manuscript library.
The French-led coalition troops were welcomed by residents of the town, AFP news agency reported with some residents saying that the rebel fighters had left the city several days ago.
"The Malian army and the French army are in complete control of the town of Timbuktu. Everything is under control," a colonel in the Malian army told AFP on condition of anonymity.
A French military source said there were fears they could have dotted the city with mines, adding that they were in the process of "securing" it.
Al Jazeera's Jacky Rowland, reporting from Timbuktu said that the streets were almost empty when the coalition troops arrived.
"As we got deeper into the city the crowd got bigger."
Malians first
Malian troops have been leading the entrance into various towns, with the French troops numbering about 3,000 behind them.
Live Box 2013114135029352466
Our correspondent said that this was intended to give the impression that Malian troops were retaking the town while they were actually being reinstalled in the town by the French troops.
She said that there had been little fighting as the coalition troops retook various towns, and that the rebels had simply "melted away", possibly into Mauritania and other neighbouring countries.
"Some people say that this may look like a problem postponed," with likelihood of the return of the rebels at a later stage, she said.
Earlier on Monday, a breakaway group from the al-Qaeda-linked Ansar al-Dine group and Tuareg rebels announced that they had claimed control of a northern town, Kidal.
French President Francois Hollande said on Monday that France was winning the battle, but added that it would be up to African forces to tackle rebels in the northern part of Mali once the key towns in the region were retaken.
"Then the Africans can take over the baton," Hollande said. "They are the ones who will go into the northern part, which we know is the most difficult because that's where the terrorists are hiding."
Nearly 8,000 African troops from Chad and the west African grouping ECOWAS are expected to take over from the French troops, but their deployment has been sluggish with 2,700 split between Mali and Niger.
The African-led force will require a budget of $460m, with the African Union pledging $50m to the mission on the final day of its summit in Addis Ababa on Monday.
Ancient manuscripts
One resident who had cried out "Vive la France" was "burnt alive" as the rebels left the Timbuktu.
Fears also soared for the city's cultural heritage when a building housing tens of thousands of manuscripts from the ancient Muslim world and Greece was set aflame.
Mayor Ousmane confirmed the fire at the Ahmed Baba Centre for Documentation and Research which housed between 60,000 and 100,000 manuscripts, according to Mali's culture ministry.
However, Shamil Jeppie of the Timbuktu Manuscripts Project at South Africa's University of Cape Town said he had no news from the ground but believed some of the most important documents may have been smuggled out or hidden in recent months.
"I've heard from reliable sources on the ground that the private libraries took good care of hiding or taking out their stuff," Jeppie said.

Honors Options at the Community College Level
Alongside general credit courses, students eligible to enroll in honors courses are permitted to engage in these alternative learning venues to fine tune their critical thinking, writing, and speaking skills. While the objectives for standard and honors courses maintain the same focus, students enrolled in QCC honors classes typically experience more classroom involvement, alongside enhanced independent analysis.
The Benefits of Honors Courses at the Community College Level
As the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC) reveals, enrolling in honors courses at the college level demonstrates a student's skills, abilities, and work ethics. Adding to this, NCHC asserts, "Students in Honors programs are widely recognized as being the best students at a college, having both superior academic ability and the motivation to make the most of their college experience."
Furthermore, through the 1,000 community colleges that have honors programs available, students who are effectively enrolled in such venues tend to report greater satisfaction with their classroom interaction experience, especially since their peers share the same academic values. In addition, for students who have expressed boredom or a lack of motivation in regular paced courses, the honors pathway can help stimulate a new rigor, drive, and passion for one's education.
Additionally, as QCC further reveals, students enrolled in the honors program enjoy a myriad of benefits, such as:
- Greater opportunity to participate in cultural and social events
- Personalized guidance from advisers, instructors, and peers
- Increased opportunities for scholarships and transferring to four-year universities
- Potential access to a restricted "honors only" lounge, library, or other facility

Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?
Grade 3-6–William Blake's "The Tyger" and Edward Lear's "The Owl and the Pussy-cat" are just 2 of the 33 classic children's poems included in this collection, which is similar in style and format to earlier series titles. The book opens with an interesting five-page essay about different types of animal poems. Each offering is prefaced by information about the background of the poem or poet and some of the imagery used. The paragraphs are informative, but tend to overpower the shorter poems. Many of the pages contain a full-color illustration without borders or white space. The poems are superimposed on the art in small font, sometimes black on light, other times white on dark, which makes some of the entries difficult to read. However, Mulazzani's painterly style does a good job of mirroring the mood of each piece. This is a decent choice for traditional fare, but those looking for more contemporary poems about animals should consider Lee Bennett Hopkins's Hoofbeats, Claws & Rippled Fins: Creature Poems (HarperCollins, 2002).–Donna Cardon, Provo City Library, UT
Gr. 5-7. Although animal poetry anthologies for young people abound, this one from the Poetry for Young People series sets itself apart by featuring a number of writers more commonly encountered in high-school and college literature courses than in elementary and middle-school classrooms. A few of the poems appear in translation, but most represent the works of English and American writers such as Blake, Carroll, Dickinson, Emerson, Frost, -Keats, Lawrence, Lear, Melville, Roethke, Rosetti, Stevens, Swenson, Tennyson, Wordsworth, and Yeats. Each poem is preceded by a short introduction commenting on the poet and the verse, and most are accompanied by brief notes defining words and phrases. Handsome, stylized paintings fill the pages with color. Varying widely in the accessibility of their language, the poems are occasionally difficult to read in a mechanical sense because they are superimposed on a patterned illustration. Recommended for larger collections. Carolyn Phelan

Canal Front & Bayfront Homesites
We're diggin' it! Eagerly awaited and newly released are the canal homesites at The Reserve at St. Charles Bay. Digging has begun on our canals and these homesites will have water frontages ranging from 60 feet to over 100 feet overlook lakes spanning over 300 feet in places. This lagoon-style living is ideal for fisherman who want immediate access to their boat and the open water and for those who enjoy backyard living at its finest. Various options exist regarding the orientation of your homesite- choose to watch the morning sun rise above your back deck, or watch the sunset from your wrap around porch.
Only a limited number of bayfront homesites remain!
Our bayfront homesites are elevated and overlook our lighted boardwalk and the protected wetlands. The Water frontages range from 80 to over 200 feet and with the soil being 10 feet above sea level, your custom home can be one or two story, slab-on-grade construction and will meet all insurance standards to keep your home out of the flood zone. For boat owners, currently there are day slips available, but conveniently placed boat houses and head in slips are planned.Schedule A Tour View Our Available Homes Download E-Brochure

Niners Unite...around Babylon 5! - The Lost Threads

Re: Niners Unite...around Babylon 5! - The Lost Threads
Well, I can think of two telepath episodes that we might be talking about
: "Mind War" and "A Race Through Dark Places". I'm thinking he's referring to the former, because the episode after that is "The War Prayer" which has a pretty strong element of Homeguard in it - the "anti-alien Earth people".
If that is correct
Phily B
, then the episode called "Mind War" has perhaps the line most descriptive of the entire series in it. From G'Kar to Catherine Sakai:
"Let me pass on to you the one thing I've learned about this place: No one here is exactly what he appears. Not Mollari, not Delenn, not Sinclair .. and not me."
"The greatest tales are always over far too soon, for those who appreciate them." -

We went to the Bears and Titans game on Nov 4, 2012, so we knew that hotels would be booked and prices would be higher. My friends and I got the hotel on Hotwire. It was close to the stadium (provided shuttles all day). However, the rooms were not in great shape. One of the regular channels on our TV to watch Sunday night football was unclear, you could see rust in our bathroom, and the beds weren't particurlary comfortable (didn't even use fitted sheets). But I guess the biggest complaint had to be the pillows. Folks - bring your own!! They have huge pillows that will kill your neck....couldn't get comfortable for 2 nights. Restless sleep...oh and the vending machines on every floor only had cokes.

Nokia launches four phones for emerging markets
Nokia has launched four new mobile devices aimed at emerging markets with pre-tax prices ranging from 50 to 90 euros.
What's interesting about these new launches though is although the first-time buyer audience in young markets has been well publicised and commented on, these four phones are aimed as "replacement purchase" for emerging market consumers looking for a step-up handset, something Nokia describes as a "significant shift".
"People in emerging markets like Africa are increasingly demanding more from their mobile phone - their expectations and demands in terms of functionality and design are similar to people in any other part of the world - they simply have less income at their disposal", says Alex Lambeek, who oversees Nokia's efforts in emerging markets.
The Nokia 5000 offers a 1.3-megapixel camera, QVGA display, FM radio with recording functionality, MP3 ringtones, supports email, boasts Bluetooth and GPRS connectivity.
The Nokia 2680 slide - Nokia's first slide device for entry markets - is a basic cameraphone that offers an FM radio with recording capability and MP3 ringtones, and "core" features such as an expanded phone book.
The Nokia 7070 Prism is a fashion-led phone that has a "distinctive" folding design with geometric patterns and external light effects, it will offer personalised content, including themes and wallpapers, and MP3-grade ringtones.
The Nokia 1680 classic is apparently Nokia's most affordable cameraphone to date, with a VGA-quality camera and video recording featuring one-touch access for photos and videos.
As well as the new hardware, Nokia also announced Webmobile, a locally hosted mobile email solution exclusively for South Africa due to go live in Q2.
