Recent weeks and months have featured increased coverage of Starlink especially due to its use in emergency-hit areas.
The largest satellite network
Starlink is the first and largest satellite network in the world. It uses low Earth orbit to provide broadband Internet that can enable streaming, online gaming, video calls, and other activities. Starlink provides customers with high-speed, low-latency Internet around the globe by utilising cutting-edge satellites and SpaceX’s extensive experience with both spacecraft and on-orbit operations. Single geostationary satellites orbiting the planet at a distance of 35,786 km provide the majority of satellite Internet services. Due to the significant round trip data time (also known as latency) between the user and satellite, it is extremely difficult to accommodate high data rate activities like streaming, online gaming, video calls, etc.
Starlink is a constellation of hundreds of satellites that spans the entire planet and orbits the planet considerably more closely to Earth, at roughly 550km. Starlink Business contributes to ensuring bandwidth for essential operations around-the-clock by increasing throughput allocation, improving performance in adverse weather, and providing a higher gain antenna.
Employees of Starlink Business can anticipate download rates of up to 350 Mbps and latency of 20–40 ms, providing a high throughput connection for offices with up to 20 users, retail locations, and demanding workloads around the world.
Even the most jaded of satellite observers were agog with excitement at SpaceX’s display of new array of Starlink communication satellites across the sky. SpaceX put 60 Starlink satellites into orbit on a Falcon 9 rocket on May 23 from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The first of a planned 12,000-satellite mega constellation to provide Internet access to anyone on Earth, the satellites are in good health. The satellites are currently orbiting the Earth at a height of around 273 miles (440 km), and as they move through the night sky, they are putting on an amazing show for on-ground watchers. The satellites were initially observed to be stretched out in a straight line with an apparent length of between 5 and 8 degrees. The satellite train is now moving across the sky at about the length of your clenched fist held at arm’s length, which is roughly equal to 10 degrees.
The satellites will slowly be lifted to their operational orbits of 342 miles, but it will take some time for them to seem less “bunched” together as they rotate around Earth at 90-minute intervals (550 km). Forty countries can access the Internet via satellite thanks to SpaceX’s Starlink fleet of satellites. After 2023, it also wants to provide satellite-based personal communications services with global coverage. Starlink satellite launches by SpaceX began in 2019. Controversy surrounds the rising numbers. As of July 2022, Starlink comprises more than 3,000 small, mass-produced satellites in low Earth orbit that connect to specific ground transceivers for communication. As of June 2022, Starlink also offers Internet access to more than 500,000 users.
Worldwide Internet access
The Starlink satellite constellation system intends to provide worldwide Internet access. This technique is best suited for distant, rural locations with poor or nonexistent Internet connectivity. People typically observe Starlink satellites. They are frequently visible for up to a day or two after launch. While some people can only make out the individual dots that make up each satellite, others may perceive them as a continuous, lengthy line of light traveling across the sky. Starlink beta testers have reported speeds of over 150 megabits per second, exceeding the range specified for the open beta test. Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada announced on November 6, 2020, that the Starlink constellation of low-Earth orbit satellites has received regulatory certification. Starlink’s satellite signal may be interfered with by rain. In general, light rain doesn’t create problems, but persistent downpours can interfere with your signal until the rain stops. Depending on how dense the moisture is, rain may or may not have an impact on the connection.
Trees, buildings, and other objects can hamper the Starlink satellite Internet transmission. However, prospective buyers can evaluate their area by using the Starlink app before making a purchase to see if their particular surroundings would support the field of vision required by Starlink. It was the 39th launch for SpaceX in 2022. On Wednesday, August 31, at 1:40 a.m. EDT (0540 GMT; 10:40 p.m. local California time), a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched 46 of the company’s Starlink broadband satellites into orbit from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
The two-stage Falcon 9’s first stage descended for a precise touchdown on the SpaceX robotic drones around 8.5 minutes after liftoff. SpaceX has already launched more than 3,000 satellites for Starlink, a massive Internet constellation that provides broadband connectivity to users all over the world. Many of those spacecraft have already been launched this year; SpaceX has flown 25 specific Starlink missions so far in 2022. Starlink currently accounts for the majority of SpaceX’s launch activity; the company has now completed 39 orbital missions so far this year. The gigantic constellation will keep expanding in size and scope. SpaceX has been given permission to launch 12,000 Starlink satellites, and it has asked a global regulatory body for authority to launch an additional 30,000 satellites on top of it. Elon Musk, the CEO and founder of SpaceX, has made plans to use Starlink to beam connectivity directly to cellphones. Coverage Above and Beyond, a joint venture between SpaceX and T-Mobile, will use Starlink Version 2 satellites, a larger and more powerful spacecraft that is anticipated to start launching next year. The large-scale satellite network Starlink aims to provide high-speed Internet service to even the most remote regions of the planet. SpaceX, a firm owned by Elon Musk, has been creating it since 2015.
In groups, the satellites are launched into orbit. There are currently 775 solar-powered satellites orbiting the Earth after 13 batches of spacecraft have been launched into space as of today. With a potential rise to 42,000 satellites in the future, SpaceX plans to eventually build a significant constellation of 12,000 spacecraft. There have been discussions regarding the potential issues that Starlink satellites could bring about. Around 5,000 satellites are already in orbit around the Earth. Our skies will be covered with man-made objects reflecting light if SpaceX’s plan is successful. Professional astronomers may experience difficulties since satellites will pollute their views of the sky. The possibility of so many objects colliding and causing space debris is another issue. SpaceX has already tested DarkSat and VisorSat, two model satellites with shaded surfaces, in answer to the first worry. Since the Starlink-8 mission, all satellites have had anti-reflective surfaces. Regarding the second issue, Elon Musk stated that in the event of failure, the satellites are intended to deorbit within five years. A train of bright lights in the night sky, and Starlink satellites make for an amazing sight. If you know where to look and when to look, you can readily see them with the naked eye.
Internet and war
Elon Musk fulfilled his promise by deploying SpaceX Starlink terminals to Ukraine in March 2022.
Ukraine’s Internet connectivity had been experiencing “severe delays” as a conflict raged there as a result of a Russian invasion that started a few months earlier. Then, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk gave Ukraine Internet service via the company’s Starlink satellites after making the same promise on Twitter.
Mykhailo Fedorov, the vice prime minister of Ukraine and its minister of digital development, posted a picture on Twitter on Monday (February 28, 2022) of a group of extra terminals being used to access SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service. Due to Ukraine’s severe lack of connectivity, Fedorov really asked SpaceX CEO Elon Musk for help on Twitter February 26th.
Towards an interstellar future
Starship and Super Heavy are the two biggest and most important parts of Elon Musk’s (opens in new tab) grand plan for SpaceX, his private spaceflight company. Musk has emphasized time and time again that the main reason he created SpaceX in 2002 was to assist humanity in colonizing Mars (opens in new tab). A wealthy businessman has stated that it is imperative that humans evolve into a multiplanet species, noting both a significantly decreased risk of extinction and the joy that genuine space travel will provide to billions of people worldwide.
Now, SpaceX is actively working to make this science fiction fantasy a reality. The company is designing the 100-passenger Starship spacecraft and the massive Super Heavy rocket, which when combined will, in Musk’s opinion, finally make it possible to settle Mars.


It takes something pretty unique to get my attention in the world of phone technology. With phones that can take pictures, record video, wake me with an alarm in the morning, search the Internet, send me an alert to remind me of an event on my calendar, send text messages in a blink and believe it or not, even make a phone call now and then, there isn’t much left to wow! me. We haven’t had a house phone for over six years, now, since our cell phones are (technically) always with us and there is no sense in paying two phone bills, when the house phone was rarely used. What I HAVE missed about having a house phone, however, is the multiple handsets, scattered through the house, so I could answer wherever I happened to be working or playing in our home. This becomes especially obvious to me, when I can hear my cell phone ringing, but can’t remember where I left my purse, where it normally resides. Or sometimes, I don’t hear it ringing at all because it’s in my purse in a completely different part of my house. Our home has a finished basement, main level and an upstairs, so if my purse is in the living room by my chair and I am in the basement doing laundry or upstairs in the bedroom, it’s very possible I won’t always hear it.
Enter VTech’s DS6421-3 Expandable Cordless Phones with “Connect to Cell“. I have been reviewing and testing this excellent system for about two weeks, now, and I’m absolutely hooked. Everything I loved and missed about having a house phone, plus so much more than I dreamed of, is connected directly to two of our family’s four cell phones – mine and my husband’s. We still don’t have house phone service, through a phone company, but now, those two cell phones can make and receive calls through the handsets in our new VTech house phones. This is not just convenient based on where I am in our home. It’s a great help with our nearly 10-year-old who doesn’t have a cell phone, has no need for one, but still needs to make a call now and then. If I’m gone and she wants to call my cell phone to reach me, she can just use the house phones to dial me up through her dad’s cell line. This is an important feature for her, since it is very common for my husband to not remember where his cell phone is. As long as it’s in the house, it doesn’t matter if he can find it, because she can use the house phone handsets to call me and they will just access his cell phone signal (wherever it is) to do it. It all works through Bluetooth and it’s the coolest new gadget we’ve had in awhile!
It was so easy to set up. I plugged in the base, made my cell phone’s blue tooth discoverable and just followed the menu prompts on the VTech handset. In seconds my phone was connected. I plugged in the other two bases in other parts of the house and from that moment on, I have been picking up calls coming to my cell, no matter where I am in our home. Love, love, love this phone system, but picking up our cell signal is only scratching the surface of its features.
- Intercom calling between handsets. (One of my favorites! A child on a video game in a different part of the house, can no longer say, “I didn’t hear you call me.” I use the intercom to call the handset which happens to be sitting on the desk in the room where the video games are. They “hear” me every time, now. I can use it to actually make the handset ring, so they have to stop and pick it up OR I can use PTT [press-to-talk] and simply allow my voice to burst into the room with them and speak through the handset, like a regular intercom.)
- Access your cellular phonebook directory – Download your cellular phonebook directory to this cordless phone system! (I did this, too. The Bluetooth connection transferred my cell phone directory to the VTech system in less than 60 seconds.) Dial a landline or cellular call from the directory for easy access. Stores over 6000 directories from up to four different cell phones?no need to input names and numbers into your cordless phone.
- DECT 6.0 digital technology provides the best sound quality, security and range in cordless phones.
- Protect yourself from identity theft with digital security. Your call is digitized and encrypted, making it nearly impossible for someone to eavesdrop.
- Excellent range, up to 500 feet.
- Audio equalizer allows you to choose from 4 different profiles to best match your hearing.
- Easy to use, standard wall mount capability.
- VTech supports RoHS initiatives by reducing the use of hazardous substances including lead, mercury and cadmium.
- Page/handset locator.
- Expandable up to 12 handsets using only one phone jack.
- Energy Star Compliant.
- Press any key to answer calls.
- Hearing Aid Compatible.
- Retrieve messages on the digital answering system from the handset.
- Remotely retrieve messages on the digital answering system.
- Selectable ring tones.
- Audible time and date stamp on recorded messages.
- Last 10 number redial.
- Conference an outside call between handsets and lines.
- 50 name and number phonebook directory.
- Caller ID/Call waiting stores 50 calls.
- Trilingual prompts allow you to choose between English, Spanish or French.
- Connect to CELL – Pair four different cell phones (or headsets) and have two devices actively connected. Cellular calls can be made or received from either of the two active cell phones. Landline service not required, works great for cellular only households.
- Transfer calls between handsets.
- Make and Receive Landline and cellular calls – Connects to BLUETOOTH enabled cellular phones to make and receive cellular calls with the ease and comfort of a home phone system. Two cell phones can be actively connected to the base and cellular calls can be made or received from either of these two active cell phones. Pair four different cell phones to the base unit and select and change which two are active.
- HD Audio provides an extended frequency band allowing for the signal to be reproduced and tuned for a fuller and clearer sound.
- Voice Announce Caller ID audibly announces the name and number of the caller on all of the handsets and base unit. No need to find the handset to see who is calling. Makes screening calls that much easier.
- Push-To-Talk acts as a multiple handset walkie talkie system to instantly communicate with any or all of the handsets within the system.
- Digital answering system with 14 minutes of recording time. No tapes or moving parts.
- Interference free for crystal clear conversations. Won?t interfere with wireless networks and other wireless devices.
- With the touch of a button, the handset speakerphones makes hands-free conversations easy.
- Adjust ringer volume from low to high, or turn the ringer off.
- Handset volume control.
- Backlit keypad and display allowing for easier viewing in dim light.
- Voicemail waiting indicator provides a text message on the handset to alert you when you have messages waiting on the voicemail service provided by your phone company.
The one minor complaint I have about the system is that the process for dialing a number directly from the directory is a little complicated. If I type a phone number into the handset, then I can just press “dial” and my call is placed. However, if I select a name from the directory, there is no “dial” option. When I choose a name from the contact list in my directory, I have to press the # key until the number is displayed in the correct format (area code +number) and then select the “cell” button to actually dial the call. Not a huge deal, but in the best of all perfect worlds, I would just be able to land on a contact and hit dial.
There are so many features to this phone, that I am still getting excited about new ones that I accidentally discover! I was so excited to be able to have the VTech DS6421-3 connected to our cells, I was content to just use that option for the first several days. Now, I use them as intercoms and have imported my cell phone’s contact list into them! The next big achievement will be a conference call and transferring a call from one handset to another or placing one call on hold to take another! The added bonus is that at this time of year, we can make all our holiday calls and connections and be able to have several people involved in the conversations, at once. You can add satellite units to this system, up to a total of 12! I’m feeling very technologically savvy and super frugal to be able to do all of these things without actually paying to have a home line installed. Needless to say, this phone system gets a big thumb up from me, for busy families on a strictly cell phone budget!
I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of VTech and received a product sample to facilitate my review. No monetary compensation was received and a positive review was not required. As with all Busy-at-Home reviews, the views and opinions expressed are wholly my own.


Evolution of internet
The evolution of the internet has been a remarkable journey that has transformed our world in countless ways. From its humble beginnings as a research project to the ubiquitous tool that it is today, the internet has impacted nearly every aspect of our lives. The evolution of the internet from its inception in the 1960s to its current state in the 2020s.
1960s - The Birth of the Internet
The internet began as a research project called ARPANET in the late 1960s. ARPANET was created by the US Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) to develop a decentralized communication system that could withstand a nuclear attack. This was the first time that computers were connected in a network, and it marked the beginning of the internet as we know it today.
The first message sent over ARPANET was on October 29, 1969, between two computers at UCLA and the Stanford Research Institute. The message was just two letters - "LO" - before the system crashed.
1970s - Expansion of the Internet
In the 1970s, ARPANET grew from a small network connecting a handful of research institutions to a much larger network connecting universities and government organizations across the United States.
In 1972, the first email program was developed by Ray Tomlinson, who used the @ symbol to separate the username from the host domain. This system is still used today for email addresses.
In 1974, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP) were developed, which provided a common language for different computers to communicate with each other over the internet. TCP/IP remains the foundation of the internet today.
1980s - The Internet Goes Global
In the 1980s, the internet began to expand beyond the United States and into other countries. In 1983, the Domain Name System (DNS) was created to provide a way for users to easily remember and access websites using human-readable names, like google.com, instead of numerical IP addresses.
In 1985, the first domain name was registered - symbolics.com - which was the first step in the creation of the modern internet as we know it.
In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee developed the World Wide Web, which provided a way to access information on the internet through a graphical user interface. The first website was created in 1991, and by 1995 there were more than 23,500 websites on the internet.
1990s - The Commercialization of the Internet
In the 1990s, the internet began to be commercialized. This period saw the emergence of the first web browsers, including Mosaic, Netscape Navigator, and Internet Explorer. These browsers made it easier for users to access the internet and navigate the web.
The 1990s also saw the emergence of search engines, including Yahoo! and Google, which made it easier for users to find information on the web. Online marketplaces, such as Amazon and eBay, also emerged during this time, making it possible to buy and sell goods and services online.
In 1994, the first online shopping site was launched, and by 1998 online retail sales exceeded $10 billion. The rise of e-commerce was a major turning point for the internet, and paved the way for the online businesses and platforms that dominate today's digital landscape.
In 1998, the first Google search engine was launched, which quickly became the dominant search engine on the internet. Google's search algorithm revolutionized the way people found information online, and made the internet much more accessible and useful.
2000s - The Internet Goes Social
The 2000s saw the rise of social media and user-generated content on the internet. In 2003, the first social networking site - MySpace - was launched, which quickly became one of the most popular sites on the internet.
In 2004, Facebook was launched, which eventually overtook MySpace as the most popular social networking site. Other popular social media sites like Twitter and Instagram were also launched in the 2000s, which helped to make the internet a more social and interactive place.
The 2000s also saw the rise of mobile devices, which changed the way people accessed the internet. Smartphones, in particular, became more prevalent, with the launch of the first iPhone in 2007. This led to an increase in mobile internet usage and the development of mobile apps that allowed people to access social media and other websites on their phones.
Another significant development in the 2000s was the rise of user-generated content. Sites like YouTube, which was launched in 2005, allowed anyone to upload and share videos on the internet. This led to a democratization of media, where anyone could become a content creator and potentially reach a large audience.
2010s - The Growth of E-Commerce, Streaming Services, and Artificial Intelligence
In the 2010s, the internet continued to evolve with the growth of e-commerce, streaming services, and the emergence of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT). E-commerce giants like Amazon and Alibaba transformed the retail industry, making it possible to buy almost anything online.
Streaming services like Netflix and Hulu also emerged during this time, revolutionizing the entertainment industry and changing the way we consume media. The emergence of artificial intelligence and IoT also paved the way for new technologies and innovations, including self-driving cars and smart homes.
2020s - The Acceleration of the Internet
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the growth and evolution of the internet in the 2020s. Here are some of the key points to consider:
1. Accelerated growth: The pandemic forced many businesses and individuals to rely on the internet for work, education, and socialization, accelerating the growth and evolution of the internet.
2. Online communication tools: Online communication tools like Zoom and Microsoft Teams became essential for remote work and virtual events. These platforms enabled people to stay connected and work together despite physical distancing requirements.
3. Increased adoption of e-commerce, online education, and telemedicine: With physical stores closed due to lockdowns and social distancing measures, online shopping became the go-to for many consumers, leading to a surge in e-commerce sales. Similarly, online education platforms like Coursera, edX, and Khan Academy saw a significant increase in users, as students of all ages and levels sought to continue their education from home. Telemedicine, the use of technology to provide remote healthcare services, also saw a significant boost during the pandemic.
4. Highlighted digital divide: The pandemic highlighted the digital divide, with many people lacking access to reliable internet connections and digital devices. This underscored the need for greater investment in internet infrastructure and digital inclusion initiatives, to ensure that everyone can benefit from the opportunities offered by the internet.
5. The future of the internet: The rollout of 5G networks is expected to usher in a new era of connectivity, enabling faster and more reliable internet access and enabling the development of new applications and services. Artificial intelligence is also expected to play an increasingly important role in shaping the internet of the future, with AI-powered chatbots, virtual assistants, and recommendation engines transforming the way we interact with the internet.
In conclusion, the evolution of the internet has been a remarkable journey, transforming the way we live, work, and interact with each other. From its humble beginnings as a government-funded project to connect computers for research and communication purposes, the internet has grown into a vast network of information and communication, connecting billions of people around the world. As we look to the future, it is clear that the internet will continue to evolve and shape our lives in ways we cannot yet imagine.

Asnet’s innovation was initially delivered as the first provider in New Zealand of Video as a Service, which is now known as Cloud Video. Building on this, Asnet is now the first to offer Audio Visual (AV) as a Service in New Zealand.
This service provides essential benefits to organisations, including low capital costs, plus high availability through proactive management and maintenance of the rooms. It also enables scalability to grow the services as our customers’ needs change, leading to increased sustainability and improved collaboration performance.
With an increase in client demand for services-based commitments (Service Level Agreements), Asnet’s nationwide Service Desk with centralized monitoring, management, room and facility reporting are key to maintaining very high levels of space and technology uptime availability.
Traditionally AV has been delivered as a customised complex solution in each room with fixed proprietary cabling. Technology has advanced rapidly and now enables the delivery of AV over the standard office LAN, thus providing an ability to send high-quality images, high definition video, audio, control and peripheral signals over a commonly available office Ethernet network. With the IT department being the new customer, this enables a greater focus on standards, manageability and monitoring as well as flexibility in device choice.
AV over IP significantly increases the scalability and flexibility of your audiovisual system. From a single output source, it is possible to connect to hundreds of devices, limited only by the number of ports in the customer’s network. Multiple displays can be managed remotely and individually for both content and performance.
The advent of customer room usage and device data collection through remote monitoring and reporting produces valuable information for organisations. This data can, for example, be used to analyse the utilisation of equipment, rooms and overall space, ultimately offering the Chief Financial Officer return on investment (ROI) decision capabilities essential in forward planning. This includes making the most of the two most expensive resources (people and space), by allocating suitable meeting space facilities, and reviewing actual technology deployments in the future, based on actual data of real usage in the present.

Slow fiber WiFi internet can be incredibly frustrating except that it’s worth knowing that it is the speed of one’s broadband service will not only be determined by the package you’ve enrolled in and your Internet Service Provider (ISP) provider but There may be other the key reason why your internet connection may be loading up slowly. Sometimes it only requires troubleshooting minor issues or a few simple tweaks in order to make your WiFi connection faster at home network set up.
It is good to notice that, the broadband service speed isn’t only influenced by the package and ISP at hand but there are numerous other reasons that may need to be addressed. Therefore, here are 10 tips about how to improve both speed and service;
i. Take full control of other set up computer programs
You should be in a position to identify and explain which programs already are running every time in your set up your individual computer. Without doing this, you might get surprised about the number of programs that set themselves automatically and run when you begin up your personal computer or fiber connection. A few of the two most frustrating culprits that totally slow down your fiber WiFi broadbands are Java and iTunes. Therefore, free registry cleaner programme could be use to investigate what’s automatically running when you either connect your fiber WiFi broadband or log on your PC. The programs will minimize starting up by themselves.
ii. Regularly Update the antivirus and web browser software
Any type of expired antivirus software discontinues updating its library. Which means that your computer will be susceptible to any newly created spyware, Trojans, malware and other nasty viruses. However, these can slow down fiber WiFi broadband and the computer generally, and in a number of cases may be making use of your allocated bandwidth to either download or upload additional data.
So, in order to make your fiber WiFi broadband faster always make sure that your computer is fully protected by ensuring your antivirus programme is current. Additionally, be informed an old unregistered antivirus programme starts swallowing your valuable bandwidth since it will keep attempting to update itself in a number of circles until you delete it manually or re-install it.
iii. Pick the best frequency and channel
WiFi router has channels. At times, it really is only by changing the channel on the router that may create a world of difference. That is mostly observed in those apartments with numerous interference from other WiFi broadband signals. setek wifi extender setup like microwaves and cordless phones can as well interfere with WiFi. Try channels 11, 6 or 1 and when they don’t really work, then go to 2 or 10 next. Peck and Hunt and soon you feel like your WiFi speeds are improving.
However, Modern WiFi routers too broadcast in dissimilar frequencies; such as 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. In simple terms, 2.4 GHz is far much better for bigger homes sufficient reason for multiple floors, because the signal travels farther and easily penetrates through/partitions walls. Otherwise for smaller homes or rooms, 5 GHz is the greatest way to go since it offers faster speeds, though in a shorter range.
iv. Identify your maximum WiFi broadband speed
Prior to you worrying about a problem together with your broadband service, it is advisable to check the utmost internet speeds assigned to your WiFi broadband package. For instance, if you signed up to an essential broadband deal that might be having speeds up to 8Mbps, then it’s unrealistic to anticipate for fast internet. But if you notice a huge discrepancy amid your ‘actual’ and ‘up to’ speeds, then there’s a concern that require to be resolved.
Resolving this requires one to; Reset the router, clear the net browser’s cache and flush DNS settings. They are the sure steps that may effectively get rid of any glitches and reset the bond hence faster WiFi broadband.
v. Set a distinctive password for your WiFi router
Setting unique password is essential because anyone could access your allocated bandwidth which and hence cause your WiFi internet speeds to gradually decelerate. Worse still, any an unprotected or unsecured wireless network is quite vulnerable to hacker’s attacks that may access it to either perform illegal activities or retrieve your personal information. So, always make sure that you use complex passwords e.g. the use of Lower and upper cases and numerical characters that can’t be guessed.

PQ2620 high frequency transformer
Advantages of high frequency transformer factory transformers:
(1) Current distribution A typical high-frequency transformer secondary winding has several parallel coils. Each secondary winding is coupled to the same primary winding. Therefore, the number of ampere turns generated by the secondary winding current is equal to the number of ampere turns generated by the primary winding (ignoring the excitation current). This feature is especially useful for parallel rectifier circuits. The winding currents are equally distributed, and no shunt resistors or other components are required in the parallel rectification circuit.
(2) Very high current density high frequency transformers have excellent temperature rise characteristics. Because of these characteristics, it achieves high current densities in a small package.
(3) High efficiency adjustment of leakage inductance, which enables it to have fast switching time and low crossover loss, which enables it to achieve high efficiency. The turn-to-turn conduction loss between the secondary winding of the transformer and the primary winding is small.
(4) High power density Because the high-frequency transformer component has a small size, it has excellent temperature dissipation characteristics, so it can be tightly packaged with related semiconductor devices and inductors to achieve high power density. Its current density is 30A/module.
(5) Low-cost The entire high-frequency transformer is composed of a small number of related inexpensive components, and the assembly is convenient, so the cost of the transformer is very low. (6) Savings and the cost of the components connected to it are small due to its leakage inductance. The switching loss is very low and the stress applied to the components connected to it is reduced. Therefore, the components connected to it can use lower cost, low power rating components.
(7) Excellent heat dissipation characteristics The high frequency transformer is a small component having a high surface area to volume ratio and a short heat passage. Conducive to heat dissipation. The interturn loss between the primary and secondary windings is small. This core's unique geometry effectively reduces core losses. So it can achieve high magnetic flux density. It can work between -40 ° C and 130 ° C.
(8) A good coupling between the low leakage inductor winding and the winding can keep the leakage inductance between the turns of the winding at a small value. The connection from the output to the auxiliary part is short and tightly assembled, so the leakage inductance of the windings between the windings is also small.
(9) Excellent high frequency characteristics Prior to this, when the transformer was operated at high frequencies, the switching loss was increased and the transformer was overheated. The emergence of flat panel transformers has solved these problems. The flat-panel transformer can be designed as a high-frequency transformer to provide a transformer module that is both economical and good. It can work between 100kHz and 500kHz.
(10) Simple structure The high-frequency transformer is composed of a small number of components and a small number of windings. This module is particularly suitable for use in automated assembly.
(11) Low profile The magnetic core used in the flat panel transformer is small and can be arranged on the surface of the flat plate. Each core unit has a shape ranging from 8mm to 25mm.
(12) Insulation strength High-frequency transformers are easily insulated according to the required number of insulation layers and thickness. It can be dielectrically insulated according to the customer's requirements for leakage distance. The withstand voltage between the primary and secondary windings is greater than 40,000V.


Connecting ethernet wired-only equipment to WiFi.
/etc/dnsmasq.confto setup DHCP server and
eth0, enable forwarding then manually set default routes.
There are lots of articles on using a Raspberry Pi as a WiFi AP (Access Point, aka "hotspot") and routing that traffic onto a wired eth0 connection: wlan0 to eth0. I want the opposite: take a Raspberry Pi STA (Station aka "client", already connected to some other WiFi) and route the local eth0 traffic into the wireless wlan0. Ideally, I'd like that eth0 to be bridged onto the WiFi network (DHCP relay onto eth0). Turns out that's not so easy. Google "can't add wlan0 to bridge br0: Operation not supported"
Why do this? Well, I started with my new Envox BB3 programmable power supply that has only a wired ethernet connection. What would it take to connect it via a Raspberry Pi to WiFi? Not as trivial of a matter as I had expected.
To get started, see my prior blog on setting up a headless Raspberry Pi.
This first operational example below uses somewhat of a brute-force method in using dhcpcd to manually configure the eth0 interface, and dnsmasq as a DHCP server.
First, install dnsmasq
sudo apt-get install dnsmasq --assume-yes
Essential to the RPi acting as a forwarding router, edit the
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwardfile and ensure a value of
1is there. Note that the change is immediate, although perhaps not permanent. Thanks to a comment on stackexchange, I found this to be very helpful:
grep -rn net.ipv4.ip_forward /etc/*
In my case:
Note the line is commented out. To make IP forwarding permanent, edit the
/etc/sysctl.conffile to uncomment the
/etc/dnsmasq.confand add these lines at the end to serve as a DHCP server on the RPi ethernet port:
#configure the eth0 interface interface=eth0 # The three modes are "wildcard", "bind-interfaces" and "bind-dynamic". bind-dynamic # Never forward plain names (without a dot or domain part) domain-needed # Never forward addresses in the non-routed address spaces. bogus-priv # Set the NTP time server address to be the same machine as is running dnsmasq dhcp-option=42,0.0.0.0 # enable the integrated DHCP server, you need to supply the range of # addresses available for lease and optionally a lease time dhcp-range=192.168.42.50,192.168.42.59,255.255.255.0,12h
/etc/dhcpcd.conf(see RPi docs and man page) and add these lines to assigned a fixed IP address to the RPi ethernet port:
interface eth0 static ip_address=192.168.42.10/24 # add the default route on the RPi on the line below. See command: # ip route | grep default # static routers=192.168.42.10 static routers=192.168.42.10, 192.168.1.10 # Don't solicit or accept IPv6 Router Advertisements and DHCPv6 noipv6 # Don't solicit or accept IPv6 Router Advertisements. noipv6rs # ensure this route has a high metric to not use it for regular traffic metric 900
Reboot the RPi.
Once everything is setup, a tiny bit of attention is needed to get routing working properly. This is because your default router does not "know" that a new network exists and is routed through a specific device interface. We need to know the IP address of the RPi that is now acting as router, shown here using the
My IP address in this case is 192.168.1.110, other WiFi IP addresses will likely be different.
pi@raspberrypi:~$ ifconfig -a wlan0 wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.110 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255
The best way to set the new default route is at the WiFi router itself. Given the many different types of routers, there are as many methods of setting a new route. For dd-wrt, see static routing.
Alternatively, this can be done on a local workstation (in my case the one running EEZ Studio that I want to connect to the BB3); On Windows in an administrative privileges DOS command prompt. connected to the same network WiFi as the RPi configured above, we need to manually tell Windows how to find the new Raspberry Pi routed subnet with the DOS
ROUTE [-f] [-p] [-4|-6] command [destination] [MASK netmask] [gateway] [METRIC metric] [IF interface]
In our case: route add [destination network] mask 255.255.255.0 [RPi address]:
route add 192.168.42.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.110
This basically tells windows: hey, to find the 192.168.42.0 network, route via the address of our Raspberry Pi at 192.168.1.110
To confirm operation:If you see an error "Timeout (no response to IDN query)" in EEZ Studio, try rebooting the BB3
And on Windows with the
pi@raspberrypi:~$ ifconfig eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.42.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.42.255 lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.110 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 pi@raspberrypi:~$ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 192.168.1.10 0.0.0.0 UG 303 0 0 wlan0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 303 0 0 wlan0 192.168.42.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 900 0 0 eth0
route printcommand (edited here, as I have VM's cluttering up the list):
C:\>route print IPv4 Route Table =========================================================================== Active Routes: Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.140 50 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 On-link 192.168.1.140 306 192.168.1.140 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.1.140 306 192.168.1.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.1.140 306 192.168.42.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.110 192.168.1.140 51 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.1.140 306 =========================================================================== Persistent Routes: None
In the end, although this technically works - it is still not the simple solution I am looking forward. It is too annoying to find DHCP address (or manually configure a static one), and the fuss with manual routes. In my next blog, I test drive wan_kabel. It is pretty cool!

Nowadays, we are surrounded by equipment and objects that rely on the internet and technology to perform their functions. Over time, we have seen a great evolution of technology and equipment, which are increasingly modern and connected to each other.
Gradually, different business areas are making use of IoT in order to operate more efficiently, for a better understanding of customers, and to provide better service. IoT becomes essential when it comes to adding value to business and decision-making.
Internet of Things: What is it?
The concept of IoT (Internet of Things) refers in general to the physical devices of people, institutions, companies or even cities (smart cities) that connect to the internet to collect and share data.
It can be described as a network of physical objects - 'things' - that are embedded with sensors, software and other technologies that enable connection and data exchange between devices, applications and systems.
Technology is about turning ordinary objects into simple smart devices that connect with other 'things', objects and people, so that a connection and exchange of information can be made via the internet, wifi, bluetooth or ethernet, for example.
It is not enough for devices to connect to the internet and exchange information with other devices, as the data needs to be processed and must be sent to a system that handles it - through computing, cloud, big data, analytics and mobile technologies physical 'things' can share and collect data with minimal human intervention.
In today's world, digital systems have the ability to record, monitor and adjust every interaction with connected 'things'.
It can then be said that the physical world has met the digital one and they cooperate with each other.
Why is it so important for business?
The use of IoT in enterprises is changing the world of business. IoT devices record and transfer data to monitor important processes, provide new insights, increase efficiency, and enable companies to make better decisions.
The "Internet of Things" is essential for business, as the efficient use of data collected from IoT devices enables much more accurate market analysis.
It also provides companies with real-time insight into the operation of systems providing insights into everything from machine performance to supply chain and logistics operations.
The many benefits of IoT for businesses include monitoring business processes; automating tasks to improve service quality; improving customer experience; optimizing time and reducing costs; increasing employee productivity; integrating and adapting business models; improving decision making; increasing transparency in customer transactions; improving communication between different connected electronic devices; and increasing revenues.
IoT is a form of incentive for companies to rethink the way they approach business and provides the tools needed to improve strategies.
Internet of Things will continue to gain momentum as more companies realize the potential of connecting devices in order to extract valuable insights to make better decisions and become more competitive and efficient!


Internet of Things (IOT)
It enables multidirectional communication among machines, persons and products, improving decision-making based on the information that technology gathers from the environment.
The aim of the Internet Of Things is to connect physical objects and reality with the Internet and cloud apps to make life easier at a personal and professional level. It makes communication among processes, things and persons possible.
The respective tasks are automated at a great scale in the administrative area of companies. Nowadays, they are simple tasks but, as time goes by, thanks to artificial intelligence, activities will become more complex.
The Internet Of Things intends to make digital and physical means meet, merging into one world. This is possible thanks to the possibility to communicate one device with others, the cloud and data centers. The Internet can be added to objects aiming at merging digital environments with everyday devices, using connectivity to make
devices more efficient or receive complementary features.
The Internet Of Things describes the network of physical objects (“things”) which incorporate sensors, software and other technologies with the aim to connect and interchange data with other devices and systems through the Internet. These devices vary from common household objects to sophisticated industrial tools.
What industries can benefit from IOT?
- Manufacturing. All type of manufacturing process can be connected and form part of the Internet Of Things.
- Construction. Sensored and connected machinery to analyze in real time its fuel, state of conservation, etc.
How do companies use this technology?
- In Disney, Orlando, the MagicBand was incorporated. It is a wristband which enables users to maximize their experience within the park. We can pay all over the park, access attractions without queuing, locate our relatives, receive photographs in our phones and obtain surprises along the park, among other things.
- Samsung uses the Internet in their Smart TVs to transmit information to Samsung so as to be analyzed and to activate voice recognition interactive functions of the tv.


The SSH protocol is used to provide an encrypted tunnel between the SSH client and a SSH server. It also provides a level of confidence that the client is communicating with a known host through the use of host keys, which can be configured to only allow a connection to a host whose public finger print is pre-registered with the SSH client. Many enterprises use SSH with either user/password authentication or Public Key Exchange (PKE).
Public Key Exchange (PKE).
Enterprises use PKE as it replaces the need for a user to enter a password. This is ideal for where every user of an application connects to the host using a generic user and then is presented with an application logon where the users logs on with their user ID/password. Also system administrators will often have the need to logon to multiple UNIX/Linux servers which means managing passwords across servers can be a big issue.
If we take a look at how PKE works (see figure 1 below) we can see that the user (owner) has the private key within their profile directory. When they connect to an SSH enabled host the server checks to see if the user holds the private key matching the public key held on the server in the user’s home/profile directory – if they do then the user is logged on without the need of a password.
The problem is the user may connect to many servers, especially if they are a system administrator as illustrated in figure 2. As we can see, each server that they connect to has to have the user’s public key in the user’s home/profile directory. This is not too difficult to manage across a couple of servers – but beyond that it becomes a problem; especially if there are a number of users as this has to be done for each user.

Internet download speeds are no longer limited by phone line transfer rates. Internet access occurs at speeds of five times to twenty times as fast as a 56K modem, and communication between wireless users can be as fast as a wired network. In addition, client computers connect instantaneously at startup and the dialing delay when initially accessing the Internet is eliminated.
Because the wireless network uses the unlicensed 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz ISM frequency bands, there is no telephone cost associated with the physical connection. No fees to the phone company results in lower costs for us and lower prices for our customers.
KASINET access points have antennas attached to wireless routers which pass data between wireless clients and the Internet portal.

Ambarella, Inc. is a semiconductor design company that focuses on the development of low-power, high-definition, and ultra-high definition chips for image processing. Their chips are used in many types of imaging devices that require accuracy, precision, and detail and that are time-critical. Their chips are in wearable cameras, sports cameras, and automotive cameras. Ambarella is known for system-on-chip design, which refers to the high resolution and 4K processing speeds. In January 2017, Ambarella released its automotive multi-camera chips that provide the powerful processing performance that self-driving cars need in their cameras for capturing information about the immediate environment.
Ambarella’s Automotive Chip Technology
Ambarella has developed an automotive camera system-on-chips for use in self-driving cars. The chip features 4K resolution and ultra-high definition display. Ambarella touts its technology as a single-chip solution for autonomous cars that have single or multi-camera electronic mirrors. The chips allow for the capturing of a 360-degree surround view and video recording of the environment around the vehicle. Also built into the chip is an 800MHz dual-core central processing unit that uses Ambarella’s proprietary design technology. This central processing unit allows it to be used in autonomous cars that have driver-assist technology, wireless networking, and a user interface. The chip can handle up to three side-view cameras and one rear-view camera simultaneously. Because traditional cameras are challenged by dim and dark lighting conditions, Ambarella has also included an LED setup into the chip.
What Ambarella’s Technology Does in Autonomous Cars
This chip enables a self-driving car to perform multiple functions as it gathers the data from the immediate environment. For example, the chip could supply the necessary information for the vehicle’s autopilot to park the car without a human driver having to do it. According to Fermi Wang, who is the president and CEO of Ambarella, this chip technology presents a “unique architecture and a high level of system integration simplify automotive camera designs and lower overall system cost.” Lowering the cost of the technology that is built into autonomous cars is key to making the vehicles commercially viable.
Partnerships With Automakers and Other Self-Driving Car Technology Developers
Ambarella is working on its technology in conjunction with Gentex. The Gentex company is a supplier of rear-view mirrors that are able to integrate the display from a rear-view camera into the glass of the mirror. This partnership could allow for further enhancement of the digital display features for the passengers of the autonomous car.
How Ambarella’s Technology Works in Self-Driving Cars
In March 2018, Ambarella tested a self-driving car that makes use of its vision-processing chips. The test car uses stereo-vision cameras and computer vision algorithms for the processing of information in real time. The cameras and chips are designed to handle information in low-lighting and a high-dynamic range. This means that the autopilot could detect shadows in high-contrast scenes. The 8-megapixel resolution allows the artificial intelligence system to detect objects and potential hazards at a greater distance than the cameras and sensors that have been installed on other types of self-driving cars. Those algorithms allow for higher accuracy in processing information and reduce the number of chips required to handle the information from all the cameras.
Testing Ambarella’s Chips on Real Roads
The testing of Ambarella’s chips has taken place on a Lincoln MKZ that is outfitted with six cameras. The cameras allow for long-range detection of objects, road signs, weather, and other vehicles. The cameras are arranged in a hexagonal configuration on the top of the autonomous car, and each of the cameras provides a 75-degree view of the environment. The overlap allows the artificial intelligence system to sync the images and analyze them with accuracy and precision. Ambarella claims that this setup of cameras and the processing chip can detect a pedestrian from as far away as 150 meters. If the autonomous car were set up with additional neural networking software, that detection distance could increase to 180 meters. To complete the sensor, camera, and detection setup, the test vehicle also has a forward-facing radar and a computer for planning out the vehicle’s path. The radar engages in times of poor visibility and for redundancy of the images captured by the array of cameras.
Future Developments for Ambarella’s Technology
Ambarella has recently launched a second version of its chip. The newer version offers 20 times more processing power while only drawing 4 watts of power. The company aims to have the chip running all the self-driving car’s stack of technology on its own without the need for an additional PC. This sort of development could decrease the cost of autonomous cars, making them more feasible for commercialization. The tests of the autonomous vehicle showed a few issues with path-planning, so further GPS integration refinements are in the works.

What is IP Telephony?
Traditionally voice calls, fax and other forms of information have been carried out over dedicated circuit-switched connections. IP Telephony allows you to tap into your computer’s IP (internet protocol) packet-switched technology to carry out voice calls, fax and other forms of information.


The redBlocks communication abstraction layer makes datagram and stream based communication transparent to higher software layers. No matter what programming interface the underlying TCP/IP stack offers, the interface that can be used by the application layer components stays the same. The redBlocks component library provides adaption layers for posix sockets and several embedded TCP/IP stacks.
Due to the abstraction layer, it does not even matter for the higher software layers whether the used protocol is a standard protocol like TCP or UDP, or if a custom protocol implementation is used.
For custom protocol implementation there are several classes that take care of framing, byte stuffing, checksum calculation, checksum test, ...
In order to conveniently define application layer protocols, on top of packet oriented or stream-based protocols, the redBlocks Component Library provides the Application Layer Protocol Framework.


The digitalization of physical places also applied to Hotels and Resorts and as for retailers, the use of location technology plays an important role in improving the guest experience while increasing cross-selling and up-selling opportunities.
Geomarketing for connected travelers
Today's travelers are mobile and looking to act quickly. Geomarketing is an effective way to reach and connect with your audience through mobile at scale. It incorporates location intelligence in order to improve audience segmentation and the delivery of personalized messages.
The most common location technologies that can be used to implement this strategy are geofencing, beacons and Wifi. Geofencing is an example of a real-time geomarketing tactic that uses geolocation data to target users within an established geographic area and delivers content based on where they are or on what locations they have previously visited. On the other hand, we have beacon technology which is very useful to microtarget users. It used the same principal of geofencing but for a small geographical area such as a room or a specific zone.
For its part, Wi-Fi access points can also be used as beacons, a mobile app can detect when a user enters or leaves the Wi-Fi signal area and trigger proximity actions. Moreover, the data provided by location technology are key to multiply the efforts made by Hotels and Resorts. Using location data, you can discover similar profiles and identify if guests are on a business trip, leisure, or if they are local, in order to provide them better services and personalized experiences during their stay.
From geofencing to beacons, location-based technology is opening up a world of possibilities for hoteliers but it needs to address specific needs of guests in order to create effective campaigns.
How Hoteliers can use geomarketing
Now, Hotels and Resorts can interact with guests in ways that haven't even thought about and everything because of mobile apps and location technologies. For example, with the use of a hotel app, guests can receive contextual-triggered notifications from the moment they enter the lobby. Welcome messages, in-room food options, coupons, spa and massage offers and room upgrade opportunities are some examples of location powered campaigns that can be used by marketers to engage with hotel guests.
By placing Bluetooth sensors such as beacons at the pool, bar, restaurant, lobbies, and other areas, Hotels owners can identify the most visited zones, the time spent by guests, so they can adjust the hotel’s offers and improve the overall guest experience.
Geomarketing can also be leveraged using geofencing or Wifi access points. They can be applied to understand the guest’s behavior, so hoteliers will be able to know what are the best time frames and physical touchpoints to engage them more. For example, an easy metric could be how much time of their stay the guests spend inside the hotel vs the time guests spend outside the hotel.
Some examples of the use of geomarketing in Hotels and Resorts:
The James Hotel
This chain of hotels developed a beacon-enabled app an app to give hotel guests a better experience providing location-based alerts for activities or shopping. In fact, the hotel app offers the possibility to check-in, check-out, order a room service or to communicate with the front desk.
Location technology plays a central role in Hilton’s Hotels. They partnered up with a music streaming service Spotify and a concert promoter Live Nation in order to increase brand loyalty. The Hilton’s members were able to receive special offers for concert experiences as well as curated walking tours of Hilton locations via Spotify.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts
Starwood is hyper-focused in understanding their consumers’ needs, preferences, and pain-points. For example, the check-in process is time consuming, inefficient, and redundant. To address this issue, Starwood leveraged the use of beacons, to enable keyless entry. Currently, the keyless entry lives within the Starwood mobile app along with many other guest features.
The evolving demand of connected travelers for more personalized experiences are pushing to Hotels and Resorts owners to embrace new technologies. But, to get a full adoption of location- based technologies, geolocation and beacons need to address specific needs and solve hotel’s guest and staff pains.


In February 2023, during the annual Mobile World Congress – the world’s biggest and most influential meeting for the mobile tech industry – Huawei’s representative in a keynote speech revealed that milestones achieved by the 5G mobile networking technology in the first three years since its launch were ‘equivalent to those that 4G made in its first five years.’ Globally, over 240 5G networks have been put into commercial use. During the first round of deployment of this technology, the Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) of the world’s top 20 5G operators increased by 10%. The number of 5G users worldwide exceeded one billion by December 2022.
5G is harnessing a digital revolution by providing ‘1,000 times higher mobile data volume per area, 100 times the number of connected devices, 100 times higher user data rate, 10 times longer battery life for low-power massive-machine communications and five times reduced end-to-end latency.’ Since this ultrafast technology vies to offer higher internet speed, and more intelligent internet systems, nations across the world are adopting this fifth generation technology for a host of communication, commercial, as well as military purposes.
A study by the PwC analysed use cases of 5G in healthcare, smart utilities, media, industrial manufacturing, and financial services. Although, the economic impact of 5G will vary by industry and country based on adoptive capacity, the study found that adoption of 5G would add USD 1.3 trillion to global GDP by the year 2030. Moreover, a report by GSMA, analysed ‘the socio-economic benefits of mid-band 5G services’ and predicted that in South Asia, the GDP contribution generated by the latter would be more than USD 32 billion by 2030, with India claiming the major chunk at 84%, Bangladesh 9%, and Pakistan only 5%.
Even after three years of its launch, 5G has still not been introduced in Pakistan. An official document of the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication (MoITT) announced that 5G would be launched commercially in three big cities of the country in the first quarter of 2023. However, last month, the same Ministry told a parliamentary panel that the launch of 5G technology would not be possible. The reasons cited for this rather indefinite postponement included recent electricity price hikes and minimum profit margins for the telecommunication firms due to the prevailing economic crisis. Moreover, the financial crunch rendering banks unable to furnish letters of credits hampered cellular companies’ efforts to import telecom-related gadgetry. Low 5G-supported handset penetration (less than 1%), low optic fibre cable penetration across the country, rising operating expenses (OPEX), and higher taxation are also hindering telecos.
According to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority’s recent data, the number of 3G/4G users had crossed 121 million by the end of 2022. Out of Pakistan’s 220 million population, 60% include young people. When one has a large, young population, which is aware and familiar with mobile technologies, the launch of 5G would better equip them to exploit the benefits of the digital age. For example, with a growing e-sports and video gaming potential in the country, fast internet technologies will help Pakistani gamers and developers to enhance their revenues. 5G can also generate newer revenue streams in e-health and 3-D print.
Companies around the world are already discussing the 5.5G era. Unfortunately, Pakistan does not even seem to be interested in even crawling towards the 5G era, let alone catching up with 5.5G. Although, the economic crisis is inhibiting the ability to harness futuristic technologies, failure to execute the later has direct impacts on the economy too as the country misses out on the monetary benefits promised by the same. This generates a never ending loop of crisis-causing-lags and lags-causing-crisis which reverberates for many years to come, as one lag leads to another and so on.
It also needs to be pointed out that at the root of the 5G launch delay also lies in bureaucratic inefficiencies prevalent across the board, not just the economic situation. Resultantly, mismanagement and policy short-sightedness come at the cost of innovation and technological sophistication. It is ironic that in a country like Pakistan, crucial ministries like ITT and Science and Technology are considered ‘spare’ and in political gimmicking, assigned to return or garner political favours.
Geoffrey Chaucer said, ‘Time and tide wait for no man.’ With the rapid pace of technological advancements, this is more true now than it was back in the 15th Century. If Pakistan fails to get on board the tech revolution now, as a nation, we may never be able to catch up.
