Geospatial software for construction monitoring has become a key technology for expanding economies and developing our world. Building information modelling (BIM) using the geospatial data of satellites has established itself as the future of construction, and a vital pillar of developing smart city technology. Its efficiencies may even give us the tools to accelerate the development of the developing world.

Satellite connectivity has the potential to change the way we do business across the globe, with those operating in remote and rural locations particularly expected to benefit. Right now, potential consumers await the up-and-coming small satellite constellations in order to take advantage of high-speed, low latency, affordable connectivity.

Increasingly high customer expectations require providers to re-think the provision of services that deliver digitalization, safety, and welfare.

The massive boom in unmanned aerial system (UAS) technology in the last decade has seen the rapid advancement of a relatively new major source of threat. With militaries the world over jumping on board with their own UAS for offensive missions, the sector has scrambled to come up with solutions to protect against this new form of adversary.

So far, the tools to create actionable, high resolution observations of earth have been in the hands of sophisticated users with deep pockets. Mobius Labs contends that next generation computer vision AI technology will not only simplify the user interface but also dramatically lower the price of entry, thereby enabling the democratization of satellite imagery.

The inflight connectivity (IFC) segment has taken a major hit since the COVID-19 outbreak, with the majority of global flights effectively grounded for months at a time. With so few flights, operators and service providers have been pushed to breaking point.

We live in a world of looming fear of cyberattack. With headlines of ever bolder hackers and hostile state action gaining nefarious control of critical systems or stealing data and other digital assets becoming more common, industries and consumers are becoming more vocally in favour of secure solutions and practice. With intelligence officials starting to sound warning bells, it could be time for more decisive action.
