There's a small army of adorable, little, (sometimes) phone-powered satellites out in space, circling the globe. And while they're damn impressive for their size, they face some challenges. They don't have much room for antennas, for instance. But MIT's new inflatable balloon antennas should change all that.
Advanced technologies are now allowing us to see and track wildlife, planetary-scale.
A researcher at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas revealed new attacks that can take control of SATCOM devices. Hackers could remotely attack planes, boats, and military tech, sending high-powered transmissions to fry electronics and biological tissue.
Think you know your antennas? What's the difference between an omni antenna and a directional antenna? What's a Yagi antenna? And which antenna makes the bes...
Intellectual property is complicated enough—then put it in space!
You probably think radio antennas when you hear the term "car antenna," but there are actually different types of antennae for your car.
As crucial as antennas are, the rigid metals they’re made of can limit what devices they can be built into. To help with that, researchers at Drexel University have developed a new kind of antenna that can be sprayed onto just about any surface.
The FCC bans restrictions that keep you from using a rooftop antenna or satellite dish.
Like with any network solution, there are some technical challenges and concerns with the deployment of multibeam antennas. To address these concerns and offer solutions, CommScope offers a new white paper titled “Multibeam antennas planning—limitations and solutions.” In it you will find detailed discussions about planning tips for minimizing coverage gaps, addressing physical cell identity (PCI) planning issues in LTE and overcoming neighbor lists’ limitations. Today’s…
Tonya Hall and Jeremiah Owyang, industry analyst & founding partner, talk about potential ways that satellites can become services and how you could potentially lease an individual satellite.
