The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) has successfully demonstrated 2 Tbit/s Free-Space Optical (FSO) communication using small optical communication terminals that can be mounted on satellites and HAPS, marking a world first […]
When a natural disaster strikes, time is of the essence if people are trapped under rubble. Conventional search-and-rescue methods use radar-based detection or employ acoustics that rely on sounds made by victims.This post was originally […]
As disruptions to GPS services increase globally, radio signals from low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites could become reliable navigation alternatives, a new study suggests.This post was originally published on this site.
If you use a mobile phone with location services turned on, it is likely that data about where you live and work, where you shop for groceries, where you go to church and see your […]

High-voltage, higher-order PAM-8 signals are essential to achieve data rates beyond 100 Gb/s, requiring highly linear receivers to maintain excellent signal-to-noise ratios.This post was originally published on this site.
The world’s online population grew by more than 240 million people in 2025, according to Facts and Figures 2025 released today by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The new estimates confirm continuing progress in expanding […]
Korean researchers have successfully verified the world’s first real-world maritime Internet of Things (MIoT) communication network, which collects marine data by installing sensors and communication devices on ships, ports, and marine facilities and can be […]
The next generation of wireless communication will move into signal frequencies even higher than those of today’s 5G systems, allowing signals to carry vastly more data at much higher speeds. These high-frequency bands, expected to […]
