A federal multibillion-dollar effort that subsidized internet service providers to bring broadband to underserved areas has provided much-needed high-speed internet to some of the country's remote and rural areas. However, according to UC Santa Barbara researchers, once the federal subsidies ended, so did much of the service....

A new system aimed at improving the monitoring and detection of forest fires through advanced real-time image processing is reported in the International Journal of Information and Communication Technology. The work could lead to faster and more accurate detection and so help improve the emergency response to reduce the environmental,...

High-precision positioning in urban areas faces obstacles such as frequent signal blockages and interference from buildings, which compromise the performance of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) systems. These conditions lead to reduced accuracy and reliability, making it difficult for traditional solutions to meet precision demands....

Communication satellites and flying antenna platforms can contribute to the comprehensive and resilient operation of global mobile networks of the fifth and sixth generation (5G, 6G). However, as large parts of the millimeter wave (mmW) frequency spectrum must be reallocated for this purpose, more powerful radio frequency technologies are required...
