How $56M In Funding Will Help One Mobile Antenna Connect With Thousands Of Satellites

[email protected]_84 NEW IN TECHNOLOGY

Can you imagine the ancient Romans inspiring a potential revolution in space communications?

In the fourth century, the Romans created a cup that shows red light when lit from behind, and green when lit in front. The Lycurgus Cup showed artists and innovators how to play with and bend light, using glass embedded with tiny flecks of gold. And that was 1,600 years ago, when the best long-distance communication available was through networks of fast horses and nimble riders.

Nearly two millennia later, Isotropic Systems is building a satellite antenna to do the same thing as the cup: bend radio waves, which also fall on the light spectrum. Using minute alterations in its positioning, the hope is to make an antenna that can communicate with just about any satellite in any Earth orbit. That ranges from the

A year ago, the self-described “in-your-face” activist had never even used Zoom online video conferencing, but it is now a constant presence in his life in lockdown to connect with fellow activists instead of taking to the streets.

Veloz’s newfound digital lifestyle reflects the demand on seniors to move their lives online because of the threat of Covid-19. The adults with the least exposure to the internet, people 65 and older, are also at higher risk to the illness from Covid-19, which has still not been controlled in the US.

Veloz’s virtual routine also includes online bill pay, grocery orders and restaurant deliveries. He is especially excited about being able to

After Building Community At Nike And VSCO, Discord’s New CMO Wants To Help More Than Just Gamers Connect During Isolation

[email protected]_84 TECHNOLOGY NEWS ARTICLES

Tesa Aragones is hoping to use her past experience fostering communities in the photography and fitness worlds to now do the same for Discord’s growing social network.

Aragones, who left her role as the chief marketing officer of VSCO to become the new CMO of Discord last week, is now leading marketing for the San Francisco-based platform that allows people to chat in private conversations using video and chat features. And while it’s long known for being used by gamers since its founding in 2015, that categorization is quickly changing—especially during the current era of social distancing.

Building community within a platform is something Aragones is familiar with, having created Nike’s digital training community along with the brand’s first iPhone app and winning a variety of patents for various projects. And at VSCO, she focused her efforts on

Ars Electronica Festival Expanded Online To Connect Art, Science And Technology

[email protected]_84 SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Since 1979, the Ars Electronica Festival in Austria brings together artists, scientists, engineers and a curious public. This year seemed no different. The exhibits, performances, workshops, talks, and discussions attracted thousands of visitors and hundreds of artists to the main festival sites in the city of Linz. Still, this year was different. Due to the ongoing pandemic and travel restrictions, many people weren’t able to visit Linz in person. But fittingly for an arts and technology festival, Ars Electronica found a creative digital solution.

Certain parts of the festival were available via online video channels and attendees could connect in digital hubs. The channels not only broadcast some of the events in Linz, but also gave a platform to various science art sites around the world.

It’s difficult to make virtual events engaging. Attendees will never have the same sense of connection and the feeling of “being there” as if

Facebook Announces New Campus Pages To Connect College Students Amid Coronavirus

[email protected]_84 NEW TECHNOLOGY ARTICLES

Topline

Students will need to use their college email as verification in order to join their school’s page.

Raytheon wins contract to connect military aircraft to commercial internet satellites

[email protected]_84 LATEST TECHNOLOGY NEWS

Raytheon is one of several major defense contractors selected by the U.S. Air Force for the program known as “defense experimentation using commercial space internet.”

WASHINGTON — Raytheon Technologies on Sept. 10 received a $13 million contract to test the use of commercial space internet services on military aircraft.

Raytheon is one of several major defense contractors selected by the U.S. Air Force for the program known as “defense experimentation using commercial space internet,” or DEUCSI.

The program was created to help the military figure out the steps involved and the potential cost of using commercial satellite broadband services — such as SpaceX’s Starlink, SES’s O3B and others — to connect military aircraft, ground vehicles and ships.

The military wants to know if military platforms can communicate with multiple commercial space internet constellations using common terminals.

The selection of Raytheon for the DEUCSI program follows a $9 million award to

Oculus Quest Marked Unavailable Ahead of Facebook Connect

[email protected]_84 TECHNOLOGY NEWS TODAY

The Oculus Quest is no longer available from some retailers, less than two weeks before Facebook’s annual conference for virtual reality projects.

U.S. retailer B&H Photo Video marked the Oculus Quest as discontinued, while the wireless virtual reality headset is no longer available on U.K. retailer Overclockers, as reported by UploadVR. The device is also out of stock across many official retailers.

A sales representative from another U.K. retailer also told UploadVR that the Oculus Quest was marked as end of life and that there were no scheduled shipments for the device.

The headset’s disappearance, however, is not a sign of a failed product. Oculus dropped its Oculus Go headset to focus on the Oculus Quest, which was a turning point for the Facebook-owned company as it balanced the ease of using a standalone device with enough power to come close to the capabilities of wired headsets.
