The Earth’s total population is growing, and with this, so is the amount of crop production around the globe. However, food production is still highly sensitive to local weather and regional climate conditions. Technology is, therefore, set to these conditions and is built around the process of crop production.

The COVID-19 pandemic so far spanning 2019-2020 has brought about big changes to the world and has acted to highlight the need for connectivity more than ever before. Satellite is playing a key role in keeping the world running amid an unprecedented pandemic, keeping pace with the changing needs of global users.

Security is key in all walks of modern life, and nowhere is this truer than in governments and military groups. With so much now achieved remotely or online, computer security is key to fulfilling secure operations.

Remote telemetry units (RTUs) and SCADA systems have been essential to support the roll out of mobile communications and broadcasting mediums, especially those in remote locations. Moving from a nice-to-have to a must-have, remote monitoring of systems and assets is absolutely necessary in the 21st century broadcasting sector.

Cloud gaming is the latest next-generation technology taking the video games industry by storm.
Unlike the clunky peripheral sensations of years past, cloud gaming stresses its innovation through the power of connectivity, making use of emergent cloud technology to stream video games to users, just as they would with satellite cable TV. The broadcast industry stands to be forever changed by the inclusion of gaming media as a streamed product.

Earth observation is one of the oldest applications of satellite technology, and one that provides a huge amount of value to everyday life without the general population being particularly aware of it. In times like these, with pandemic upon us, satellite enabled Earth observation is more important than ever before for continued remote environmental monitoring, and to track staple utility, energy and agricultural patterns.

The world at large is going digital, with wireless connectivity playing an increasingly important role for consumers, businesses, governments, and military groups alike. This is particularly true for oil and gas operators, who have felt the effect of COVID keenly in an industry where feet on the ground is depended upon. The embrace of new technology gives the Asia’s operators the opportunity to improve productivity and manage cost.

For disaster response teams, time is always of the essence and in order to respond rapidly to unfolding events the connectivity available to them is essential. In this article, ST Engineering iDirect explores the challenges posed in the aftermath of the recent Hurricane Laura and the importance of satellite connectivity in re-establishing communications.

Man portable communications play a key role in governmental and military operations worldwide to ensure safe, reliable, and secure communications. Requiring extremely complex technology to achieve all of the above, there are many things to consider, with the size, weight, and power (SWaP) attributes of the highest import.

Recab offers bespoke, ruggedized PC and computer-on-module design and production services, and has a proven track record on long-term projects, in collaboration with railway authorities such as TfL. According to Martin Frederiksen, Managing Director of Military Embedded Computing, Recab UK, the company is looking to cut through the incredible range and complexity of computing technology to instead offer thorough, consultative customer services rather than a simple storefront.

This paper on 'Considerations for Selecting the Right 5G-Rejection Bandpass Filter' reviews some of the BPF design parameters that may help you select the right 5G-rejection bandpass filter (BPF). The key specifications of a few leading BPFs in the market are discussed in the paper for easy comparison.

Through this comparison, AsiaSat's BPFs are demonstrated to be among the best performing BPFs in terms of the filter electrical and physical specifications.

Isotropic Systems is a pioneer of satellite terminal design, striving to deliver new heights of high-throughput, adaptable, low-power sophistication. The company has recently optimized its optical beamforming modules for manpacks, as well as marine vessels and UAVs. Emil Reynolds, Product Line Manager, Government Terminals, opines on how the new technology can revolutionise mission-critical communications.
