Israel okays equipment to boost Palestinian cell coverage in West Bank
2018-11-01
The better to hear you with, my dears.
[IsraelTimes] Military okays request by Paltel telecom to import specialized circuit boards to improve phone service, speed up internet.

Following the Civil Administration’s final approval on Sunday, Paltel was expected to install the circuit boards this week and improve its cellular coverage almost immediately.

Earlier this year, Paleostinians in the West Bank gained 3G mobile telecommunications services, after years of negotiations with Israel.

However,
corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds...
the service remained weak for some Paleostinians in light of Paltel’s limited infrastructure. The new circuit boards are designed to address this issue.

Paltel maintains a near total monopoly over the Paleostinian telecommunications market, with some 1.5 million customers. The new equipment will only affect the firm’s network, not those of other companies in the West Bank, so Israeli settlers will not experience improved coverage as a result.

#8  In addition to voice recognition software, a good signals analyst can learn specific voices regardless of the selector (phone instrument, number, or location) used. Recording those conversations helps others learn as well.

#4  Don't forget to occasionally have a computer dial every single number in the area. "Workplace" accidents don't just happen on their own.

#3  And how much AI is involved that will analyze every call for location and content?

#1  So they just got 3G. Where might they be if they could just get along with their neighbors?
