SANTA BARBARA, CA, Feb. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digital Locations, Inc. (OTCMKTS:DLOC), the developer of SatennaTM, a breakthrough technology that will enable delivery of high-speed Internet from satellites directly to smartphones all over the world, today announced that its technology team at Florida International University (FIU) is developing a solution that only requires modifications on the smartphone side. This breakthrough can potentially eliminate the need to make costly and time-consuming modifications to existing, as well as future satellites.

Key Points:

This breakthrough can potentially eliminate the need to make costly and time-consuming modifications to existing, as well as future satellites.
Leveraging decades of experience in antenna miniaturization and satellite communications, the FIU team is working with Digital Locations to develop a device-side only smart antenna solution, to enable high-speed Internet directly from satellites to smartphones anywhere in the world.
But current smartphone antennas are not designed for high-speed Internet applications, such as streaming Netflix from satellites moving at 17,000 mph.
Dr. Elias Alwan, lead researcher at Florida International University, commented, “The FIU team is developing a novel antenna solution that can dynamically and intelligently adjust for satellite positions, phase angle, beam forming and various satellite frequencies and user conditions.”
“This is a major breakthrough,” said Rich Berliner, CEO of Digital Locations.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Jan. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a recently published report by Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries, Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) has surged in recent years to support both residential and enterprise connectivity due to its ease of deployment along with the more widespread availability of 4G LTE and 5G Sub-6GHz networks, which offer increased throughput and reliability, comparable in many cases to more traditional fixed broadband technologies. Preliminary findings suggest total FWA revenues, including RAN equipment, residential CPE, and enterprise router and gateway revenue remain on track to advance 27 percent in 2023, driven largely by residential subscriber growth in North America, as well as growing branch office connectivity more globally.

Key Points:

"Fixed Wireless Access has proven that it can provide connectivity both in rural and underserved markets while also competing head-to-head with fixed broadband technologies in urban and suburban markets," said Jeff Heynen, Vice President and analyst with the Dell'Oro Group.
"Beyond residential connectivity, enterprises are relying more heavily on FWA-enabled routers and gateways to connect branch offices, vehicles, and kiosks as part of their own private wireless initiatives," added Heynen.
Additional highlights from the Fixed Wireless Access Infrastructure and CPE Advanced Research Report:
Global FWA revenues are projected to surpass $9 B by 2027, reflecting sustained investment and subscriber growth in both 3GPP- and non-3GPP-based network deployments.
The Satellite Broadband market will also be a key enabler of broadband connectivity in emerging markets, thanks to LEOS-based providers including Starlink, OneWeb, and Project Kuiper.

Boom in space tourism threatens to boost the amounts of space junk and climate emissions

Retrieved on:

Tuesday, November 7, 2023

Some, such as Houston-based Axiom Space, eventually want to build their own space stations in orbit, where commercial astronauts could make extended stays.

Key Points:

Some, such as Houston-based Axiom Space, eventually want to build their own space stations in orbit, where commercial astronauts could make extended stays.
This could also provide more money and opportunities for science to be carried out in low Earth orbit.
But it also raises a host of safety concerns, because it will add to the already troublesome issue of space junk.
There are also implications for the environment, because rockets produce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.
As such, it recently signed an agreement with the UK Space Agency for an all-UK astronaut mission to the ISS.

Space junk concerns

There are also major concerns about risks posed by the increase in the general number of space missions, particularly because space junk is already a major problem in low Earth orbit.
Since 1999, the ISS has had to manoeuvre to avoid large pieces of space junk 32 times.

However, less than 0.5% of internet traffic is currently carried by satellite communications. Despite the potential benefits to unconnected people in rural areas, upfront and subscription costs mean that Starlink’s current subscribers, make up less than 0.02% of the global population. They include many cruise ships, private jets and luxury yachts.

Environmental concerns

The other area of great concern is the environmental effect of sending more people to space.
There are other serious environmental concerns.
They provide us with environmental and disaster monitoring systems, weather and climate monitoring, vegetation and crop growth measurements, geolocation and navigation (such as GPS) as well as communications.
And we cannot just ignore the implications for the climate and environmental justice.
