Abstract: In one aspect, there is provided method. The method may include determining, at a base station, identity information for a mobile station, the base station configured to determine the identity information when the mobile station is in a proximate contact with the base station; and providing the identity information to a message generator. Related systems, articles, and methods are also described.

Abstract: Twisted pair termination using vacuum microelectronic circuitry. The invention is operable to increase greatly the number of subscriber lines to access any number of networks. Certain aspects of the invention employ vacuum microelectronic circuitry that offers a dramatic increase in matrix switch density compared with other technologies. The invention includes a reconfigured/modified version of vacuum microelectronic circuitry to perform any number of applications towards which such technology is not currently directed including line driving, voltage stepping, amplification, impedance matching, filtering, and over-voltage/surge protection including lightning protection. The present implementations of vacuum microelectronic circuitry are primarily directed towards performing large amounts of matrix switching, sometimes on the order of servicing 1500×1500 matrices.
