News : Doosan Infracore 5G based remote control - 0 views

  •  
    Doosan Infracore introduced its 5G-based construction machinery remote control technology to the European market for the first time at the trade show. It demonstrated how to remotely control an excavator in Incheon, Korea while sitting 8,500 kilometers away from the 5G Remote Control Station (Control Center) set up in Munich, Germany.

Wearable Computers Create New Security Vulnerabilities | Gadget Lab | Wired.com - 0 views

  • Google Glass is a pre-production device made for developers. It has bugs, and it has problems, some of which are related to security.
  • Thus for the first time, this has provided malicious folks with the opportunity to gain access to your device through these machine-readable blobs of black and white blocks.
  • They could connect it to a Bluetooth device of their choosing and stream images from its camera to a remote display, all without the wearer’s knowledge.

  • these devices are so new, and have increasingly broader capabilities, it’s difficult to predict what forms those vulnerabilities will arrive in.

The Next Star Wars Movie Has Recruited a Team of Drones to Protect Its Secrets - 1 views

  • Accessible drone technology is creating a bizarre future in the world of movie making
  • A Croatian website, MosCroatia first reported the drone detail in a larger update about Episode VIII will be doing some location filming in Dubrovnik, a popular tourist destination in the southern part of the country. Aside from reportedly having six hundred guards being deployed on location to try and prevent the public from snapping any sneaky pictures, the skies above filming will be protected by a team of remote-controlled drones that will target anyone attempting to fly a drone of their own over the set.

Project Skybender: Google's secretive 5G internet drone tests revealed | Technology | T... - 0 views

  • Google is testing solar-powered drones at Spaceport America in New Mexico to explore ways to deliver high-speed internet from the air
  • Project SkyBender is using drones to experiment with millimetre-wave radio transmissions, one of the technologies that could underpin next generation 5G wireless internet access
  • High frequency millimetre waves can theoretically transmit gigabits of data every second, up to 40 times more than today’s 4G LTE systems. Google ultimately envisages thousands of high altitude “self-flying aircraft” delivering internet access around the world.

  • “The huge advantage of millimetre wave is access to new spectrum because the existing cellphone spectrum is overcrowded. It’s packed and there’s nowhere else to go,” says Jacques Rudell
  • However, millimetre wave transmissions have a much shorter range than mobile phone signals. A broadcast at 28GHz, the frequency Google is testing at Spaceport America, would fade out in around a tenth the distance of a 4G phone signal. To get millimetre wave working from a high-flying drone, Google needs to experiment with focused transmissions from a so-called phased array. “This is very difficult, very complex and burns a lot of power,” Rudell says
  • The SkyBender system is being tested with an “optionally piloted” aircraft called Centaur as well as solar-powered drones made by Google Titan, a division formed when Google acquired New Mexico startup Titan Aerospace in 2014. Titan built high-altitude solar-powered drones with wingspans of up to 50 metres
  • Project SkyBender is part of the little-known Google Access team, which also includes Project Loon, a plan to deliver wireless internet using unpowered balloons floating through the stratosphere.
  • In 2014, Darpa, the research arm of the US military, announced a program called Mobile Hotspots to make a fleet of drones that could provide one gigabit per second communications for troops operating in remote areas.

    Could this be a next gen. technology that would bring hi-speed internet access literally to every place in the world?
