Welcome to your weekly UAS news update we have 4 stories for you; Ascent AeroSystems releases the Helius, Blue UAS and Framework Changes, a Big SkyeBrowse Update, and Skydio sends Tracking Mailers to Police Department.First up, Ascent Aerosystems has released the HELIUS!This is a 249, coaxial system that mimics the design of the much larger Spirit. According to Ascent's website, this is an all weather, NDAA Compliant, aircraft with features like 4G LTE connectivity, 4K gimbaled camera, 45 MPH top speed, and 30+ minute endurance! The HELIUS is available for preorder and is priced at $4,499.Preorder can be placed through either Ascent AeroSystems OR Robinson Helicopter Company dealers, with deliveries occurring in Q4 of this year.The Blue List has had some significant changes! Several drones and manufacturers have been removed and a few have been added. Removed drones include: The AgEagle Ebee, Ascent Aerosystems Spirit, Blue Halo IE-V2, HoveryTech Spectre, Inspired Flight IF1200A and IF800, Parrot Anafi UAS GOV and MIL, Vantage Viper, and the Wingtra One Gen II. These aircraft are no longer on the Blue UAS List, which is a bit concerning.It's unclear WHY these aircraft were removed, but raises some serious questions, such as: Do these aircraft have data security issues? What happens to all the departments who have been forced to purchase aircraft that are Blue UAS and have now been removed? We're not sure. On the other side, a few drones were added, the FlightWave Edge130, HoverFly Technologies Spectre (Possibly a rebrand of the Hovery Tech), and the Zone5 Paladin. Along with these, Pierce Aerospace B1 also was added to the Blue List, though the parts side rather than the aircraft side of the list.We'll keep you up to date if we see more! Next up, Skydio appears to have sent marketing materials with tracking ability to Police Departments. As reported by DroneXL, a Sergeant from a large California police department revealed that promotional materials from Skydio appeared to have embedded tracking and a 4/5G SIM card.This was found after the device was disassembled by the department's forensic analysis lab.The marketing material in question comes from a company called “MARC Media”, who confirmed that each device integrates a screen, pause and play buttons, navigation, and a “Call to action button”. The device has a 9 month battery life and tracks things like interactions, use of the call to action button, and even the location of the device.Skydio came under fire for this due to their stance as being the “secure alternative” and citing risks of “data collection” by other manufacturers. The Sergeant stated “In addition to [privacy and security] concerns I found it ethically concerning because Skydio has been a strong proponent of data security and data safety but then did the thing they accused other UAS manufacturers of doing,”Not a great look for Skydio. Last up, Skyebrowse has another big update! There are several things to talk about here, starting with Pocket AI.This is a function that turns an image into a 3D model using AI. It's free for everyone, so give it a try and potentially win a year of Skyebrowse Lite! Skyebrowse also released model merging and Workspace images. Model merging allows you to link other models to connect multiple scenes within a workspace, again, available for everyone! Workspace images function similarly, and allow public safety to attach photos to the 3D model so that anyone who sees the images can also see the photos. https://dronexl.co/2025/03/10/skydio-tracking-mailers-security-concerns/https://www.diu.mil/blue-uas/frameworkhttps://dronexl.co/2025/03/06/major-shakeup-blue-suas-list/#google_vignettehttps://ascentaerosystems.com/introducing-helius/

Remember how it used to be that we had to worry about whether we had a Verizon or AT&T iPhone? And that the AT&T iPhone was the one that you can use abroad? While the Verizon one was just for America? Wasn't that weird? Now we don't have to worry about that. Because when we moved to 4G, the world chose a single global wireless standard: LTE. After the bruising battles of 3G, 4G LTE's dominance came far more smoothly. In this video, we look at how 4G LTE won the wireless world.

En México, la CFE Telecomunicaciones e internet para Todos otorgó dos contratos después de licitaciones lanzadas el 29 de agosto a empresas que deberían tener una revisión. La primera fue ganada por Altán Redes, para así ofrecer el servicio de Radiodifusión Celular, con lo que se emiten alertas por catástrofes a celulares. Altán tuvo un acuerdo con CFE Telecomunicaciones en donde la empresa estatal absorbe su deuda y se incorporaría Altán dentro de sus servicios, por lo cual, al ser socios debido a un contrato previo, hay conflicto de interés. Altán fue la única empresa que participó en dicha licitación. Para la segunda, la CFE TEIT buscaba adquisición de 10 mil routers portátiles 4G LTE, en donde participaron Altán, Satcomex y SBM Reve. La licitación fue ganada por Altán nuevamente, así como SBM Reve. Un reporte de Expansión revela que no hay información de la compañía ni del apoderado legal, y su domicilio corresponde a un departamento privado. Según el mismo reporte, no es la primera vez que CFE Telecomunicaciones otorga contratos a compañías fantasma.

2023 a été une année très chargée dans le secteur des télécommunications à Taïwan. Parmi les cinq opérateurs mobiles taïwanais existants en début d’année, seuls trois restent depuis le 15 décembre dernier. Graine de business établi donc un bilan en cette fin d’année 2023 sur l’état des réseaux des opérateurs mobiles après les acquisitions qui ont eu lieu cette année. En effet, l’an dernier deux opérateurs ont effectué des opérations d’acquisition sur des opérateurs plus petits : Taiwan Mobile (台灣大哥大) sur Taiwan Star (台灣之星) dont l’acquisition est définitivement actée depuis novembre dernier, d’autre part vous avez Far EasTone qui vient d’achever son acquisition le 15 décembre d’Asia Pacific Telecom sous le nom d’opérateur GT mobile dont l’offre finale sera connue en 2024. Parmi les trois opérateurs restants, lequel offre la meilleure solution entre Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile et Far EasTone ? Ce chamboulement dans le monde des télécommunications fait des inquiets avec un marché moins concurrentiel. C’est pour cela que ce sujet va tenter de répondre aux questions suivantes : Est-ce que la répartition en trois acteurs va influencer les services aux consommateurs ? Quelle entreprise est la meilleure ? Y aura-t-il encore une “guerre des prix” avec des forfaits illimités pouvant descendre jusqu’à 499 dollars taïwanais à l’avenir ? Après la fusion de Taiwan Mobile et Taiwan Star pour devenir le « Nouveau Taiwan Mobile » et la fusion de Far EasTone et Asia Pacific Telecom sous le nom d’opérateur Gt mobile pour devenir le « Nouveau Far EasTone » le 15 décembre, le chamboulement transitoire des solutions mobiles pour les Taïwanais touche désormais à sa fin. Le secteur de la téléphonie mobile était jusqu’alors définie en « cinq grands opérateurs de télécommunications », elle devient en cette fin d’année 2023, les « trois géants des télécommunications ». Cependant, le marché et l'environnement des télécommunications d'aujourd'hui sont assez différents de ceux d'il y a dix ans, époque à laquelle cette concurrence multiple était née. Commençons cette analyse par une comparaison des avantages et des inconvénients des nouveaux géants des télécommunications. Avant fusion Selon l'analyse de l'expérience de télécommunications OPENSIGNAL, un organisme de recherche tiers, avant la fusion de Far EasTone et Taiwan Mobile, Chunghwa Telecom avait la plus grande couverture 5G et la vitesse de téléchargement et de téléversement 5G la plus rapide ce qui en faisait un leader incontestable, loin devant sa concurrence. Cependant, Far EasTone a été reconnu comme un sérieux concurrent dans son offre global avec pour point fort la qualité d’appel, la couverture générale pour les appels dans tout Taiwan, et a également reçu de bonnes critiques pour son expérience vidéo 5G. La note de qualité cohérente de Taiwan Mobile est de 85,6 %, dépassant celle de Far EasTone Telecom qui atteignait alors 82,4 %. Après fusion Les données de bande passante sont un bon indicateur des changements après fusion. Tout d'abord, vous pouvez consulter ce tableau référencé à partir de l'annonce de la NCC (agence nationale des communications taïwanaise) qui nous permettra de comprendre clairement les évolutions concernant la bande passante et les fréquences. Si vous regardez uniquement les réquences 4G, le débit maximal pour les bandes passantes de Chunghwa Telecom et de New Far EasTone est établi à 200 MHz, tandis que celui de New Taiwan Mobile est de 180 MHz. Pour la 5G de Chunghwa Telecom le débit est de 690 MHz et pour New Far EasTone il est encore plus important avec 780 MHz alors que New Taiwan Mobile est loin derrière avec 300 MHz. Ce qui fait que la bande passante totale cumulée est de 980 MHz pour New Far EasTone qui est en tête, suivie de Chunghwa Telecom avec 890 MHz et enfin New Taiwan Mobile qui offre une bande passante totale de 470 MHz. Si on fait l’analogie avec une autoroute, la bande passante détermine deux facteurs importants pour la qualité de communication : la limite de vitesse (le débit) et le nombre de voies (capacité de connexion simultanée à un réseau sur une même zone). En général, nous n’utilisons pas qu’une seule fréquence pour communiquer sur Internet. Les téléphones portables transmettent des signaux en fonction de la bande passante du réseau environnant, et cela dépend également des bandes de fréquences prises en charge par le téléphone pour déterminer le réseau le plus adapté à la région et au lieu, ce qui a un impact direct sur l’expérience utilisateur. Par conséquent, lorsqu’ils marquent les fréquences, les opérateurs de télécommunications tiennent compte de la combinaison de fréquences qui offre la meilleure expérience utilisateur en termes de bande passante continue, de pénétration, etc., tout en envisageant l’avenir. Grâce à la bande passante cumulée des réseaux 4G+5G, mais aussi à la nouvelle technologie de 5G millimétrique déjà mise en place chez New Far EasTone, permettant une bande passante bien plus large, les situations de foule comme le Nouvel An, les concerts et les événements sportifs, les abonnés de New Far EasTone connaitront une connexion bien plus stable pour des activités très gourmandes comme la diffusion ou la réception de vidéos en direct ou bien pour jouer à des jeux en ligne. Grâce à la bande passante millimétrique, il est également possible de se connecter à des satellites en orbite basse, offrant ainsi une plus grande variété de points de connexion. Cela montre également que New Far EasTone est plus flexible dans la construction et la combinaison de ses stations de base, car elle peut obtenir une meilleure couverture réseau et une plus grande flexibilité dans son offre de fréquences de connexion. Par exemple, si une zone est entièrement résidentielle, la construction de la station de base peut utiliser en priorité les fréquences à 700 MHz qui ne posent pas de problèmes dans ce genre de configuration. En revanche, dans les zones combinant résidences et bureaux, l’opérateur préferera des réseaux utilisant les fréquences 5G NR. Pour les utilisateurs qui se rendent souvent dans des grands bâtiments pour travailler ou étudier, prennent le métro, le bus ou le train à grande vitesse, les signaux à basse fréquence de moins de 1 GHz peuvent offrir une meilleure expérience de connexion. Actuellement, Taïwan a ouvert deux fréquences de communication pour les réseaux mobiles : la fréquence 700 MHz et la fréquence 900 MHz. Si l’on veut simplement comparer ces deux fréquences en une phrase, on peut dire que le 700 MHz a une forte capacité de pénétration et le 900 MHz a une forte capacité de diffraction. Le nouveau leader en termes de bande passante étant New Far EasTone, je vous propose de détailler un peu plus les fréquences utilisées par l’opérateur pour obtenir ce résultat. Et c’est principalement grâce à la connexion privilégiée avec une plage de fréquences allant de 50 à 700 MHz que l’opérateur obtient de meilleurs résultats que sa concurrence. Cette plage de fréquences est considérée comme une “plage en or” dans beaucoup de pays en raison de ses avantages tels qu’une large couverture de signal, une forte capacité de diffraction et une faible perte de transmission. Cela permet non seulement à New Far EasTone de facilement tenir sa promesse d’une offre « sans distance », mais aussi d’utiliser une haute capacité de pénétration dans les fréquences inférieures à 700 MHz pour améliorer les problèmes de signal instable causés par les angles morts et les obstacles en intérieur. La fusion de Far EasTone et Asia Pacific Telecom a été approuvée successivement par la Commission nationale de la communication puis, le 15 décembre, la Commission de concurrence équitable du commerce. Suite à cela Far EasTone a récemment organisé un événement pour inaugurer lnouvelle entreprise « New Far EasTone ». Selon l’article 12 de la réglementation sur l’utilisation des fréquences radios, New Taiwan Mobile doit restituer une bande passante de 10 MHz pour la plage de fréquences de 700 ou 900 MHz. Ce manque de rendement pourrait laisser penser que New Taiwan Mobile finira par abandonner cette plage, car leur méthode de construction de réseau 4G LTE initiale était similaire à celle de Chunghwa Telecom, qui utilisait une combinaison bien plus performante de 900 MHz + 1800 MHz. La bande passante totale de New Taiwan Mobile a pour particularité d’avoir un peu de tout mais cela rend des connexions trop dispersées. C’est également la principale raison pour laquelle Taiwan Mobile a intenté une action en justice administrative auprès de la NCC. Une fois que la foule dans une zone unique est importante ou que la demande augmente considérablement, il est difficile pour les stations de base de Taiwan Mobile de supporter la charge de connexion, et les téléphones portables consomment également plus d’énergie lorsqu’ils changent de signal. Pour les bandes passantes dédiées à la 5G utilisant la fréquence de 3500 MHz, la position des priorités est stratégiquement très importante pour les opérateurs, elle se divise en trois parties appelées à Taïwan : tête, ventre et queue de poisson. Le ventre de poisson est le plus avantageux et à Taïwan, le réseau Chunghwa Telecom en est le propriétaire, alors que la tête et la queue ont été attribuées New Taiwan Mobile ne laissant rien à New Far EasTone. Cependant, après la fusion, la bande passante de la bande de fréquences 5G de New Far EasTone a augmenté de 50% par rapport au passé. À l’avenir, il sera possible d’utiliser la technologie Refarming pour agréger les antennes porteuses 5G (NR CA) de manière à combiner la bande de fréquences de 3500 MHz de Far EasTone avec la bande de fréquences de 2600 MHz (TDD) d’Asia Pacific Telecom pour former une bande passante totale de 1200 MHz pour la bande principale 5G, ce qui permettra de développer la connexion 5G la plus puissante des trois nouveaux géants. En observant la bande passante continue, Chunghwa Telecom a la bande passante continue la plus complète des trois nouveaux géants, avec 90 MHz, dépassant les 80 MHz de Far EasTone. Cependant, comme promis par Far EasTone, une fois combinée avec la fréquence de 2600 MHz (TDD) d’Asia Pacific Telecom, sa capacité de pénétration 5G devrait en théorie être meilleure que la fréquence de 3500 MHz actuelle. Va t’on revoir des forfaits à 499 dollars taiwanais La réponse est NON, la raison la plus évidente peut être observée à partir du nombre d’utilisateurs des trois nouveaux géants. Jusqu’en septembre 2023, Chunghwa Telecom a le plus grand nombre d’utilisateurs 5G, avec 2,96 millions, suivie de Far EasTone avec 2,14 millions, de Taiwan Mobile avec 1,86 million, de Taiwan Star avec 720 000 et d’Asia Pacific Telecom avec 330 000. Cependant, si l’on observe le nombre d’utilisateurs 4G, Chunghwa Telecom a jusqu’à 8,19 millions d’abonnés, suivie de Taiwan Mobile avec 5,37 millions, de Far EasTone avec 5,07 millions, de Taiwan Star avec 1,76 million et d’Asia Pacific Telecom avec 1,66 million. Cela montre que les utilisateurs de téléphonie mobile à Taiwan sont déjà clairement proches de la saturation. Dans la situation nouvelle des « trois nouveaux géants » qui est en train de se mettre en place, que ce soit Chunghwa Telecom, New Taiwan Mobile ou New Far EasTone, la chose la plus importante est de réfléchir à la façon de faire migrer directement les utilisateurs 4G existants vers des forfaits 5G et ainsi éviter la saturation des réseaux 4G. Pour les utilisateurs d’Asia Pacific Telecom absorbés par New Far EasTone et ceux de Taiwan Star par New Taiwan Mobile, bien que les tarifs soient la clé de la migration des abonnés 4G existants, le passage d’un choix de cinq opérateurs à trois ne semble pas être propice à une plus grande variété de forfaits. De plus, avec l’avènement de la 5G, sous l’impulsion du développement des objets connectés, du streaming vidéo, et d’autres combinaisons de produits divers, les entreprises de télécommunications disposent de plus de cartes à jouer en termes d’offres de connexion qu’auparavant à l’époque de la 3G et de la 4G LTE. Revenir en arrière pour se battre sur les prix ne fera que ralentir la progression des réseaux et c’est une option dont personne ne veut à Taïwan qui veut rester dans les pays leaders des offres de télécommunication aux consommateurs.

FlySense 286 Product Suite includes 4G/LTE, LoRaWAN, and YoLink capabilities to address worldwide connectivity and security needs Recently, Soter Technologies, a leading provider of innovative environmental sensor and software technologies, today released its FlySense 286 product suite incorporating expanded wireless network connectivity options. Addressing the needs of schools and enterprises around the world, FlySense is the first vape and bullying sensor in the market with embedded global cellular (4G/LTE), LoRaWAN, or YoLink support. In this podcast, Derek Peterson, chief executive officer of Soter, discusses how FlySense 286 not only delivers needed detection of vaping in places and spaces where vaping is strictly prohibited, Soter's innovations sets the product independent of the organization's network. Many organizations follow cybersecurity best practices or mandates to minimize the variety of devices attached to a network that also carries proprietary or private information such as email, browsing, cloud connections, and server access. Operating FlySense devices over wide area networks such as cellular or LoRaWAN, and alternative local networks using YoLink, provides this physical separation without raising concerns about any cybersecurity risks. “We're excited about our product roadmap,” adds Peterson, pointing out several verticals including education (school campus and facility), food service (including making detecting employee vaping), hospitality and more. We learn that selling and installation are “easy peasy”, and that the product line is makes for a ready sell for channel partners. Visit Soter Technologies

Although countries worldwide may be moving quickly to deploy 5G technology, the major Caribbean internet network carriers have indicated that they will not be doing so in the foreseeable future. Marc Kneppers and Sarah McNeill, of TTG in the Cayman Islands, discuss 5G and the company's innovation grants programme, and answer questions such as: What could be the benefit to Caribbean countries of 5G? Whether Caribbean internet carriers should focus on strengthening their 4G LTE networks before deploying 5G?

Andrea Caldini, VP of network engineering at Verizon, has seen a lot of wireless technology evolution during her 20 years at the telecom giant. This includes that carrier's initial 3G launch based on CDMA technology, its radical move to 4G LTE more than a decade ago, and its more recent push into 5G. “I remember at some point thinking 64 kb/s was really fast,” Caldini joked during an interview with SDxCentral. Caldini cited Verizon's early 5G work, including its early work toward 5G standards that were initially outside of the normal standards bodies. Verizon has also been able to inject a lot more spectrum into its 5G services based on that technology standards ability to support larger “chunks” of spectrum. Caldini cited the carrier's extensive millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum holdings that support significant capacity and its ongoing deployment of its C-Band spectrum that is providing a broader reach. As part of that push, Verizon itself has been able to expand those network updates broadly across the organization, including into its Verizon Business Group. That group has been a driver of Verizon's recent business operations. Verizon 5G and the Private, MEC Space That work has also begun to spread more into the private 5G space, which Caldini said is a “huge opportunity here,” and the is “a gateway into mobile edge compute.” Verizon's MEC efforts include agreements with all three major hyperscalers – Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) – to provide optionality to enterprises. This allows the carrier to support two deployment models: private MEC and public MEC. The private MEC path involves an on-premises device deployment that allows an enterprise to maintain total control over its data. The carrier runs this on top of its agreement with AWS, Microsoft, and GCP. The public MEC work taps into nearly 20 locations where Verizon is collocated with the hyperscalers. This model is one Verizon executives have previously stated provide a connection point to within 150 miles of most enterprises. “As you're creating these solutions, you're looking to have your workloads closer, so you might have a low-latency need and need to have that workload closer,” Caldini said, adding that this private and public MEC integration then allows an enterprise to adjust where they want to run applications and still have it all under strict control. “They all come together as you create these new services to support a business need.” Learn more about your ad choices.

This week's EYE ON NPI soars above the rest, it's the Soracom Onyx LTE USB Dongle for IoT Applications (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/soracom/lte-usb-dongle-for-iot-applications), a nicely designed, easy-to-use cellular dongle that you can plug into your Windows or Linux single-board-computer to add cellular connectivity super fast. Onyx features a Quectel® EG25-G (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/quectel/EG25GGC-128-SGNS/13278144) LTE Cat. 4 module providing global 4G/LTE, 3G, and 2G cellular connectivity in a single device and is optimized specifically for IoT and M2M applications. With a USB port and driver support for Windows and Linux, Onyx (https://www.digikey.com/short/f88n91qt) can be installed on a wide variety of devices to easily add global cellular data connectivity. The device includes built-in antennas for easy installation without extra wires or accessories, and provides two external CRC9 antenna connectors to support custom antenna configurations. We got this working smoothly on a Windows 10 computer in only 20 minutes - from signing up at Soracom (https://www.soracom.io/getting-started) to registering the SIM (https://developers.soracom.io/en/docs/air/registration/) to installing drivers (https://developers.soracom.io/en/downloads/drivers/) and plugging in the SIM card. We like how it's a cellular modem that shows up just like a network interface but ALSO gives you access to the AT commands in case you want to automate some of the cellular procedures or use the built in protocol managers for ultra-light network usage. (https://www.soracom.io/blog/sending-mqtt-messages-from-celllular-modem-via-at-commands/) We think the Onyx (https://www.digikey.com/short/f88n91qt) is ideal for folks with single board computers like Raspberry Pi - they have 4 USB ports but no M2 slots. For many uses, the built in Ethernet and WiFi is good for network access, but there's many use cases where you want to have cellular access as LTE or M2M. While there are HATs and accessories to add cellular, this a pretty straight-forward board that won't require updates when there's kernel or GPIO driver dependencies - simply plug it into the USB port for data and power and run the Linux install script that they kindly provide.(https://developers.soracom.io/en/start/soracom/soracom-cli-guide/) Since Soracom is maker-and-geek friendly, they do better than just providing the hardware and saying "use the PPP modem capability" - for optimized data usage there's documentation on using the native MQTT stack (https://www.soracom.io/blog/sending-mqtt-messages-from-celllular-modem-via-at-commands/) which means even the lightest-weight device can use minimal data while sending sporadic messages - it may also be faster than bringing up a full TCP/IP stack and then tunneling MQTT over it - there's Python example code available too for automated scripting. The Soracom Onyx (https://www.digikey.com/short/f88n91qt) is available at an excellent price, cheaper than a DIY solution, and it's in stock right now at Digi-Key for immediate shipment, you can also pick up a Soracom SIM for only a few dollars more (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/soracom/4573326590334/16653414). Order today and it'll be shipped in the blink of an eye: you'll be able to add instant cellular connectivity with LTE speeds and GSM/GPRS fallback to your product by tomorrow afternoon!

Taiwan is a country about half the size of Maine with about 17 times the population of that state. Taiwan sits just over a hundred miles off the coast of mainland China. It's home to some 23 and a half million humans, roughly half way between Texas and Florida or a few more than live in Romania for the Europeans. Taiwan was connected to mainland China by a land bridge in the Late Pleistocene and human remains have been found dating back to 20,000 to 30,000 years ago. About half a million people on the island nation are aboriginal, or their ancestors are from there. But the population became more and more Chinese in recent centuries. Taiwan had not been part of China during the earlier dynastic ages but had been used by dynasties in exile to attack one another and so became a part of the Chinese empire in the 1600s. Taiwan was won by Japan in the late 1800s and held by the Japanese until World War II. During that time, a civil war had raged on the mainland of China with the Republic of China eventually formed as the replacement government for the Qing dynasty following a bloody period of turf battles by warlords and then civil war. Taiwan was in martial law from the time the pre-communist government of China retreated there during the exit of the Nationalists from mainland China in the 1940s to the late 1980. During that time, just like the exiled Han dynasty, they orchestrated war from afar. They stopped fighting, much like the Koreans, but have still never signed a peace treaty. And so large parts of the world remained in stalemate.  As the years became decades, Taiwan, or the Republic of China as they still call themselves, has always had an unsteady relationship with the People's Republic of China, or China as most in the US calls them. The Western world recognized the Republic of China and the Soviet and Chines countries recognized the mainland government. US President Richard Nixon visited mainland China in 1972 to re-open relations with the communist government there and relations slowly improved. The early 1970s was a time when much of the world still recognized the ruling government of Taiwan as the official Chinese government and there were proxy wars the two continued to fight. The Taiwanese and Chinese still aren't besties. There are deep scars and propaganda that keep relations from being repaired.  Before World War II, the Japanese also invaded Hong Kong. During the occupation there, Morris Chang's family became displaced and moved to a few cities during his teens before he moved Boston to go to Harvard and then MIT where he did everything to get his PhD except defend his thesis. He then went to work for Sylvania Semiconductor and then Texas Instruments, finally getting his PhD from Stanford in 1964. He became a Vice President at TI and helped build an early semiconductor designer and foundry relationship when TI designed a chip and IBM manufactured it. The Premier of Taiwan at the time, Sun Yun-suan, who played a central role in Taiwan's transformation from an agrarian economy to a large exporter. His biggest win was when to recruit Chang to move to Taiwan and found TSCM, or Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. Some of this might sound familiar as it mirrors stories from companies like Samsung in South Korea. In short, Japanese imperialism, democracies versus communists, then rapid economic development as a massive manufacturing powerhouse in large part due to the fact that semiconductor designers were split from semiconductor foundry's or where chips are actually created.  In this case, a former Chinese national was recruited to return as founder and led TSMC for 31 years before he retired in 2018. Chang could see from his time with TI that more and more companies would design chips for their needs and outsource manufacturing. They worked with Texas Instruments, Intel, AMD, NXP, Marvell, MediaTek, ARM, and then the big success when they started to make the Apple chips. The company started down that path in 2011 with the A5 and A6 SoCs for iPhone and iPad on trial runs but picked up steam with the A8 and A9 through A14 and the Intel replacement for the Mac, the M1. They now sit on a half trillion US dollar market cap and are the largest in Taiwan. For perspective, their market cap only trails the GDP of the whole country by a few billion dollars.  Nvidia TSMC is also a foundry Nvidia uses. As of the time of this writing, Nvidia is the 8th largest semiconductor company in the world. We've already covered Broadcom, Qualcomm, Micron, Samsung, and Intel. Nvidia is a fabless semiconductor company and so design chips that vendors like TSMC manufacture.  Nvidia was founded by Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem in 1993 in Santa Clara, California (although now incorporated in Delaware). Not all who leave the country they were born in due to war or during times of war return. Huang was born in Taiwan and his family moved to the US right around the time Nixon re-established relations with mainland China. Huang then went to grad school at Stanford before he became a CPU designer at AMD and a director at LSI Logic, so had experience as a do-er, a manager, and a manager's manager.  He was joined by Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem, who had designed the IBM Professional Graphics Adapter and then the GX graphics chip at Sun.   because they saw this Mac and Windows and Amiga OS graphical interface, they saw the games one could play on machines, and they thought the graphics cards would be the next wave of computing. And so for a long time, Nvidia managed to avoid competition with other chip makers with a focus on graphics. That initially meant gaming and higher end video production but has expanded into much more like parallel programming and even cryptocurrency mining.   They were more concerned about the next version of the idea or chip or company and used NV in the naming convention for their files. When it came time to name the company, they looked up words that started with those letters, which of course don't exist - so instead chose invidia or Nvidia for short, as it's latin for envy - what everyone who saw those sweet graphics the cards rendered would feel.  They raised $20 million in funding and got to work. First with SGS-Thomson Microelectronics in 1994 to manufacture what they were calling a graphical-user interface accelerator that they packaged on a single chip. They worked with Diamond Multimedia Systems to install the chips onto the boards. In 1995 they released NV1. The PCI card was sold as Diamond Edge 3D and came with a 2d/3d graphics core with quadratic texture mapping. Screaming fast and Virtual Fighter from Sega ported to the platform.  DirectX had come in 1995. So Nviia released DirectX drivers that supported Direct3D, the api that Microsoft developed to render 3d graphics. This was a time when 3d was on the rise for consoles and desktops. Nvidia timed it perfectly and reaped the rewards when they hit a million sold in the first four months for the RIVA, a 128-bit 3d processor that got used as an OEM in 1997. Then the 1998 RIVAZX with RIVATNT for multi-texture 3D processing. They also needed more manufacturing support at this point and entered into a strategic partnership with TSMC to manufacture their boards. A lot of vendors had a good amount of success in their niches. By the late 1990s there were companies who made memory, or the survivors of the DRAM industry after ongoing price dumping issues. There were companies that made central processors like Intel. Nvidia led the charge for a new type of chip, the GPU. They invented the GPU in 1999 when they released the GeForce 256. This was the first single-chip GPU processor. This means integrated lightings, triangle setups, rendering, like the old math coprocessor but for video. Millions of polygons could be drawn on screens every second. They also released the Quadro Pro GPU for professional graphics and went public in 1999 at an IPO of $12 per share.  Nvidia used some of the funds from the IPO to scale operations, organically and inorganically. In 2000 they released the GeForce2 Go for laptops and acquired 3dfx, closing deals to get their 3d chips in devices from OEM manufacturers who made PCs and in the new Microsoft Xbox. By 2001 they hit $1 billion in revenues and released the GeForce 3 with a programmable GPU, using APIs to make their GPU a platform. They also released the nForce integrated graphics and so by 2002 hit 100 million processors out on the market. They acquired MediaQ in 2003 and partnered with game designer Blizzard to make Warcraft. They continued their success in the console market when the GeForce platform was used in the PS 3 in 2005 and by 2006 had sold half a billion processors. They also added the  CUDA architecture that year to put a general purpose GPU on the market and acquired Hybrid Graphics who develops 2D and 3D embedded software for mobile devices. In 2008 they went beyond the consoles and PCs when Tesla used their GPUs in cars. They also acquired PortalPlayer, who supplies semiconductors and software for personal media players and launched the Tegra mobile processor to get into the exploding mobile market. More acquisitions in 2008 but a huge win when the GeForce 9400M was put into Apple MacBooks. Then more smaller chips in 2009 when the Tegra processors were used in Android devices. They also continued to expand how GPUs were used. They showed up in Ultrasounds and in 2010 the Audi. By then they had the Tianhe-1A ready to go, which showed up in supercomputers and the Optimus. All these types of devices that could use a GPU meant they hit a billion processors sold in 2011, which is when they went dual core with the Tegra 2 mobile processor and entered into cross licensing deals with Intel.  At this point TSMC was able to pack more and more transistors into smaller and smaller places. This was a big year for larger jobs on the platform. By 2012, Nvidia got the Kepler-based GPUs out by then and their chips were used in the Titan supercomputer. They also released a virtualized GPU GRID for cloud processing.  It wasn't all about large-scale computing efforts. The Tegra-3 and GTX 600 came out in 2012 as well. Then in 2013 the Tegra 4, a quad-core mobile processor, a 4G LTE mobile processor, Nvidia Shield for portable gaming, the GTX Titan, a grid appliance. In 2014 the Tegra K1 192, a shield tablet, and Maxwell. In 2015 came the TegraX1 with deep learning with 256 cores and Titan X and Jetson TX1 for smart machines, and the Nvidia Drive for autonomous vehicles. They continued that deep learning work with an appliance in 2016 with the DGX-1. The Drive got an update in the form of PX 2 for in-vehicle AI. By then, they were a 20 year old company and working on the 11th generation of the GPU and most CPU architectures had dedicated cores for machine learning options of various types.  2017 brought the Volta, Jetson TX2, and SHIELD was ported over to the Google Assistant. 2018 brought the Turing GPU architecture, the DGX-2, AGX Xavier, Clara, 2019 brought AGX Orin for robots and autonomous or semi-autonomous piloting of various types of vehicles. They also made the Jetson Nano and Xavier, and EGX for Edge Computing. At this point there were plenty of people who used the GPUs to mine hashes for various blockchains like with cryptocurrencies and the ARM had finally given Intel a run for their money with designs from the ARM alliance showing up in everything but a Windows device (so Apple and Android). So they tried to buy ARM from SoftBank in 2020. That deal fell through eventually but would have been an $8 billion windfall for Softbank since they paid $32 billion for ARM in 2016.  We probably don't need more consolidation in the CPU sector. Standardization, yes. Some of top NVIDIA competitors include Samsung, AMD, Intel Corporation Qualcomm and even companies like Apple who make their own CPUs (but not their own GPUs as of the time of this writing). In their niche they can still make well over $15 billion a year.  The invention of the MOSFET came from immigrants Mohamed Atalla, originally from Egypt, and Dawon Kahng, originally from from Seoul, South Korea. Kahng was born in Korea in 1931 but immigrated to the US in 1955 to get his PhD at THE Ohio State University and then went to work for Bell Labs, where he and Atalla invented the MOSFET, and where Kahng retired. The MOSFET was an important step on the way to a microchip.  That microchip market with companies like Fairchild Semiconductors, Intel, IBM, Control Data, and Digital Equipment saw a lot of chip designers who maybe had their chips knocked off, either legally in a clean room or illegally outside of a clean room. Some of those ended in legal action, some didn't. But the fact that factories overseas could reproduce chips were a huge part of the movement that came next, which was that companies started to think about whether they could just design chips and let someone else make them. That was in an era of increasing labor outsourcing, so factories could build cars offshore, and the foundry movement was born - or companies that just make chips for those who design them.  As we have covered in this section and many others, many of the people who work on these kinds of projects moved to the United States from foreign lands in search of a better life. That might have been to flee Europe or Asian theaters of Cold War jackassery or might have been a civil war like in Korea or Taiwan. They had contacts and were able to work with places to outsource too and given that these happened at the same time that Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan became safe and with no violence. And so the Four Asian Tigers economies exploded, fueled by exports and a rapid period of industrialization that began in the 1960s and continues through to today with companies like TSMC, a pure play foundry, or Samsung, a mixed foundry - aided by companies like Nvidia who continue to effectively outsource their manufacturing operations to companies in the areas. At least, while it's safe to do so.  We certainly hope the entire world becomes safe. But it currently is not. There are currently nearly a million Rohingya refugees fleeing war in Myanmar. Over 3.5 million have fled the violence in Ukraine. 6.7 million have fled Syria. 2.7 million have left Afghanistan. Over 3 million are displaced between Sudan and South Sudan. Over 900,000 have fled Somalia. Before Ukranian refugees fled to mostly Eastern European countries, they had mainly settled in Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Pakistan, Uganda, Germany, Iran, and Ethiopia. Very few comparably settled in the 2 largest countries in the world: China, India, or the United States.  It took decades for the children of those who moved or sent their children abroad to a better life to be able to find a better life. But we hope that history teaches us to get there faster, for the benefit of all.

During the pandemic connectivity was very important and 5G came of age as it was rolled out. How easy was it to do this? One of the telecoms company's rolling out 5G was Three and how did they cope with the roll out and the increased usage of their network courtesy of hybrid and remote working? Ronan talks to Declan Gaffney, Director of RAN at Three Ireland about this and more. Declan talks about his background, the benefits of 5G, the future of 5G and if Three is planning for 6G. Declan also talks about rolling out 5G during a pandemic and how the pandemic affected Three Ireland and their customers. More about 5G: 5G is the fifth generation of wireless technology, providing higher speeds, lower latency and greater capacity than 4G LTE networks. 5G is being used more and more to power IoT devices, smart cities, and remote working. With speeds of over 1 GB per second streaming services, it is the perfect match for streaming services and online gaming. You also don't have to worry about latency as numerous devices can connect to the same network.

Cellular service providers are shutting down their 3G networks this year, a shift that could impact legacy wireless systems that some fleets are still using, some experts say. The 3G networks are being shuttered to free wireless spectrum for existing 4G LTE and still-expanding 5G networks. The move will support growth for systems, devices and applications that need more bandwidth for improved speed and latency. However, it will cause service issues for fleets using 3G-connected systems for equipment such as electronic logging devices. ABI Research on Feb. 14 released a report that estimated at least 350,000 Class 8 trucks nationwide will be affected by the overall shutdown of 3G networks.

Verizon One Talk is a mobile-first business phone system designed for how people work today—call, collaborate, and connect on the go. This SMB-focused business feature-rich solution includes robust call forwarding, voicemail-to-email, and simultaneous ring. All of these features come built into Verizon's wireless core network. Verizon's Diana Guerrero, Solutions Architect Manager and Derek Peabody, Sr. Product Manager, joined Chad Foos, Director for Digital Coast at SOVA, a key Verizon partner, and host Tyler Kern to discuss how to help implement One Talk to customers.Peabody spoke to the versatility of One Talk, which allows a user to link multiple devices whether it's Mac or PC. Beyond the multitude of features available with One Talk, it is easy for users to manage the service. Peabody notes,“You can manage One Talk through a smartphone app, in terms of configuring it, or through a portal. Again, that flexibility to manage the service in a lot of ways in a lot of different end-point types has helped our customers.”What has Foos excited? The new T67LTE Wireless Phone from One Talk, the nation's first 4G/LTE cellular, self-contained desk phone. “In my world, I deploy desk phones, I deploy phone systems for businesses…and I spend a lot of time dealing with firewalls, making sure cabling is connected throughout the office, maybe improving the Wi-Fi signal to make sure the phone systems work. With the T67, I don't have to do any of that”, says Foos. This system is ready to plugin. All it requires is a power source, and businesses will get the connection they need.Guerrero agreed with Foos that the T67LTE would be a game-changer for many businesses. She also touched upon how businesses truly had to reinvent themselves during the pandemic and that One Talk was a solution that helped companies continue their business as usual - even transforming them. She emphasized that Verizon has a great support system in place through Verizon's partner network to help implement efficient business solutions like One Talk.To learn more about One Talk visit www.onetalk.com.

What trends will shape the future of the private wireless 4G/LTE and 5G market in 2022? The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the enterprise world. Not least because it has acted as a wake-up call regarding the importance of accelerating digital transformation.  Everyone in the enterprise market, from vendors to the enterprises themselves, now understands that such a transformation is increasingly the result of a combination of innovative technologies. These include IoT, edge, 5G, AI and ML. In this pandemic-affected world, enterprises accept they must use any technology as part of a strategy to deliver a clear business outcome. They also need to be flexible in their processes and adapt to rapid change.  What does this mean for the future of private networks and digital enterprises in 2022? Should we expect momentum in the private 4G/LTE and 5G networks market? This market continues to grow significantly. According to a study by Omdia, in 2021 network roll-outs represented 20 per cent of all announcements. Growth is no longer restricted to first movers such as the USA. We are now seeing deployments in an increasing number of new countries such as Denmark and Poland. Deployments are becoming larger and more complex as private networks deliver the right RoI to enterprises. Will the appetite of enterprises for larger and more complex private wireless deployments increase? When private 4G/LTE and 5G networks were a novelty, organizations would start with a POC or trial. They might deploy in a single site or test a few use cases.  Now, with private networks delivering the desired results, verticals such as mining and ports have deployed private 4G/LTE and 5G networks across multiple sites and countries. There is similar momentum across all verticals, including manufacturing.  Omdia's survey of 451 enterprises found that by 2023, 34 per cent will have deployed a solution in more than five sites – significantly higher than the current figure of five per cent.  Should we expect to see private wireless networks leveraging developments in edge computing, cloud computing and cloud environment? This is one of the most exciting trends set to mature in 2022, which is shown in several examples: Cloud-based network monitoring platforms are becoming ever more relevant and popular Edge and cloud players are showing increasing interest; 50 per cent of enterprises will need cloud computing and storage as part of any private 4G/LTE and 5G network deal In this fragmented environment, edge computing as a distributed computing model to analyse data closer to its source brings latency and cost benefits OT applications will need different requirements in latency, workload, ML/AI support, data security and confidentiality – a combination of edge and cloud is the only way to support them fully What challenges can we expect in the private wireless market? Some are specific to this market: The ongoing struggle to educate enterprises on the benefits of cellular The challenge of integrating private 4G/LTE and 5G networks with existing IT systems and connectivity solutions Others derive from macro trends: Private 4G/LTE and 5G networks have been hit by chip shortages because of geo-political issues, the pandemic, and businesses double-purchasing to head off uncertainty This leaves vendors in an expanding market facing growing uncertainty over chipset availability Will 2022 be the year when 5G truly arrives? Although 5G has been a hot topic for a while, it is still moving slowly into this market. Release 16 in 2020 officially heralded the new era of private 5G, but this is yet to fully materialize. The expansion of 5G in supporting industrial specific features and requirements will remain gradual. Barriers to adoption include the lack of a wide system of 5G devices, especially in the industrial environment.  Until chipset vendors fully commit roadmaps and in-depth resources to accelerate this ecosystem, the pace of adoption will remain sedate.  Will enterprises be able to find the private wireless experience and expertise they need? Providers that have been active in recent years are now skilled in the design, deployment, management, and other facts of making private 4G/LTE and 5G networks a successful solution. Enterprises can now tap into that expertise. As more countries unlock spectrum, the potential market is increasing – Brazil and South Korea are recent examples. Other countries that have already begun this process are continuing to expand, including the USA. MulteFire has also rekindled its push to use unlicensed spectrum to use unlicensed spectrum to support the expansion of private network.  Ultimately, private 4G/LTE and 5G networks are delivering results – and it is time to understand how to use this solution to your advantage.

How MulteFire is creating and supporting opportunities in private wireless Nokia, along with Qualcomm, created the MulteFire Alliance in 2015. Its purpose was to create a global ecosystem for the deployment of 4G LTE in configurations that used unlicensed spectrums, and to create MulteFire specifications.  In the years since, these specifications have been embedded into the 3GPP standards. One example is the additive Listen Before Talk, known as LBT, which helps to ensure smart co-existence with local wi-fi networks. Industries have realised they need cellular connectivity, particularly LTE or 5G, to digitalize operations and activate new use cases. As a result, private wireless networks are now deployed across the world. However, in some cases deployment faces a bottleneck in the form of spectrum. In some countries, there is limited LTE spectrum; in the UK, for instance, there is less than 20MHz of spectrum bandwidth available for industries, which need a lot of capacity for data-hungry applications such as video surveillance. Some other nations do not have a coherent policy in terms of LTE license allocations for industrial sites. They are often too expensive, or not yet adapted to the context. There is also an increasing demand for temporary LTE cellular networks for events, field hospitals or even construction sites. MulteFire delivers a solution to all these problems. It has 450MHz of bandwidth in the 5GHz frequency band, comes with zero cost, is easy to access and is available in most countries. In the context of the scarcity of spectrum, MulteFire is a gold mine. MulteFire is much more than an enhanced version of wi-fi MulteFire is unlicensed, and it leverages some of wi-fi's spectrum bands. It is, however, far more than simply “wi-fi on steroids”. There are some critical advantages to MulteFire, particularly in the context of Industry 4.0. Coverage: Industrial sites are complex, with walls and panels and plenty of metal, which means radio planning can be a nightmare. MulteFire leverages the capability of 3GPP LTE 4G features, which means one of its access points can deliver the same coverage as more than four wi-fi access points. This makes it a far more compelling deployment than wi-fi. Mobility: This is vital for many industrial applications, such as autonomous mobile robots. They move around a site, which means network connectivity must be always on, everywhere. Wi-fi does not support handovers between access points, so it cannot support this type of business-critical use case, whereas MulteFire can. Security: MulteFire is a 3GPP technology with SIM authentication and end-to-end encryption, which makes it superior to wi-fi in an age of increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks. How Nokia's MulteFire modem is blazing a trail Nokia recently announced industry's first certified MulteFire user equipment, the MulteFire modem. This is a field router that connects to assets such as sensors and machines via USB or Ethernet, and enables them to connect to a private wireless network using MulteFire certified access points. We use the same architecture and core network as our private wireless network, the Nokia Digital Automation Cloud. The combination of MulteFire, where no spectrum authorization is needed, and NDAC makes it simple for anyone to deploy a private network anywhere in the world. Nokia is recognized by major industry analysts as not just a leader, but the leader in this field. We have several hundred customers and are adding dozens more every quarter. Our expertise and experience in the various sectors, regions and countries sets Nokia apart. While LTE licenses can be a barrier in some countries, with MulteFire it is possible to deliver connectivity in any country in the world. This new innovation will drive the MulteFire ecosystem via the MulteFire Alliance. For more insights around all things private, 4.9G, LTE and 5G, please contact the private wireless team at Nokia.

In this podcast, we put on our tin foil hat to talk about the possibility that we might be living in a simulation. We go through a few signs that point to the fact(or suspicion) that this world we're living in is simulated. But before we explore that, we visit some of the interesting topics I've come across since the last podcast. Curated Segment(4:16), Simulation Theory(1:14:30) Technology “The flip side of the argument, though, is that it would indeed be totalitarian for the government to dictate to a private company that it must allow certain speakers or irresponsible speech on its platforms, even when they run counter to its terms of service or even expose it to liability.” It Turns Out that Deplatforming Works | Washington Monthly Tesler's Law | uxtoast Tizeti's low cost 4G LTE service to be rolled out in Nigeria's Edo State Excerpt from Article by: Oladunni Adetula “Tizeti,  a startup with solar-powered Wi-Fi towers in Nigeria, has announced that it will be rolling out its 4G LTE network in Edo State. The service will be available to people in Edo for $8/month. According to Tizeti, they currently have 1,7 million unique users on their network.” https://iafrikan.com/2021/01/18/nigeria-tizeti-rolls-out-high-speed-4g-lte-in-edo-with-n4000-month-broadband-service/ Discovery From time to time, I indulge in shameless confirmation bias to justify over the top coffee use. A read an article from medical news today recently that states: “Numerous studies have suggested that caffeine has many health benefits. Now, research suggests that a dose of caffeine after a learning session may help to boost long-term memory. This is according to a study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience.” https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/270963 Simulation Theory(1:14:30) There was an article named 15 Irrefutable Reasons Why We Might Be Living in a Simulation written by Matt Stieb. I read it and thought it would be a great tinfoil hat concept to share and talk about. What is this simulation theory we talk about? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis https://www.vulture.com/2019/02/15-irrefutable-reasons-we-might-be-living-in-a-simulation.html#comments https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/entertainment/g28438966/mandela-effect-examples/ Historical Experiments that question our reality.

“5G” is the fifth-generation technology for cellular networks enabling greater bandwidth than current 4G LTE technologies. 5G began developing and being deployed in 2019 and is predicted to service 1.7 billion individuals by 2025. - Currently, new mobile phone devices are rolling out capable of using 5G infrastructure including the Samsung Galaxy S20/A71, the Motorola One, and the LG V60 ThinQ (among others), indicating 5G networks will become increasing integrated into the mainstream. - 5G networks will enable the “Internet of Things (IoT)” – a network of physical systems capable of exchanging data with other devices and systems over the internet. This includes SmartTVs, Smart appliances, Smart homes, etc. - Although 5G will enable a plethora of enhanced internet and technology capabilities, legitimate concerns, including weather prediction interference and privacy/security concerns have arisen. Furthermore, many conspiracy theories have emerged that are associated with 5G. - Herein, we dive into the basics of 5G networks and the main applications. We further discuss the pros and cons of 5G, dive into various conspiracy theories, and review scientific opinions and several current engineering/scientific review papers on the matter. - What say you? - Shoutout to pixundfertig for artwork used in this episode. #5G #technology #explained
