BSNL Brings Satelite Based Internet

BSNL on Thursday announced the launch of a satellite-based internet of things (IoT) device service that can be used across India where mobile towers are not present, including the seas within the country's jurisdiction. The state-run telecom firm said it is the world's first satellite-based narrowband-IoT network.


The service has been launched in partnership with US-based firm Skylo, which has developed the device for use in India.


According to a BSNL official, the device developed by Skylo will be provided only through the state-run firm at a price of around Rs 10,000 a unit. The square-shaped device can be carried by users across any part of the country and connect with their smartphones for two-way communication.


"The solution is in line with BSNL's vision to leverage technology to provide affordable and innovative telecom services and products across customer segments.


"Skylo would also help provide critical data for the logistics sector to enable effective distribution of COVID-19 vaccine in 2021 and will be a big contributor in service to the nation," BSNL Chairman and Managing Director P K Purwar said in a statement.


This new 'Made in India' solution, which is indigenously developed by Skylo, will connect with BSNL's satellite ground infrastructure and provide pan-India coverage, including Indian seas, the statement said.


"The coverage will be so vast that it will not leave any dark patch within the boundary of India, from Kashmir and Ladakh to Kanyakumari, and from Gujarat to the North East, including the Indian seas," it added.


BSNL further said the technology has already been tested successfully in various segments, including Indian Railways, fishing vessels and for enabling connected vehicles across India.


"Successful POCs (proof of concepts) have already been conducted by BSNL and Skylo in India and we will soon approach various user groups before the New Year 2021 begins," BSNL Board Director (CFA) Vivek Banzal said.


Skylo CEO and co-founder Parthsarathi Trivedi said for centuries industries, including agriculture, railways and fisheries, have been operating offline, and have not had the opportunity to take full advantage of the latest advancements in artificial intelligence and IoT till date.


"This is the world's first satellite-based NB-IoT network and I am proud to launch this capability in India first to transform lives and our domestic industries," Trivedi said.

Apple watch SE or Watch 3 Series

 Apple's two most recent smartwatches incorporate the reasonable $279 Apple Watch SE (£269, AU$429) and the leader $399 Apple Watch Arrangement 6 (£379, AU$599). The two wearables run WatchOS 7, however the Watch SE has less highlights than the Arrangement 6, including a less progressed S5 chipset. (Look at our gathering of the best Apple Watch deals too, on the grounds that costs are fluctuating.)  Regardless of its lower cost, be that as it may, the Watch SE isn't the least expensive wearable you can purchase new from Apple. Its own Apple Watch Arrangement 3, which dispatched in 2017, as of now goes for $199 (£199, AU$399).  Since the Watch Arrangement 3 is three years more established, it clearly isn't as powerful and strong as the Watch SE. Yet, it actually packs a ton of highlights and you may lean toward it over the Watch SE in the event that you consider how much cash you'll save. Peruse on to study their disparities and see ...

Elon Musk once offered to sell Tesla to Apple but couldn't get a meeting

It's no secret that the Model 3's development and production ramp were  difficult for Tesla . It was also a tough time for Tesla CEO Elon Musk. We know this because he talked about  how difficult it was  on a fairly regular basis. We didn't realize that Musk approached Apple boss Tim Apple (sorry, Cook) to see if he might be interested in purchasing Tesla during that time. Strange, if true. - Tesla already uses iron-phosphate for medium range cars made in our Shanghai factory. - A monocell is electrochemically impossible, as max voltage is ~100X too low. Maybe they meant cells bonded together, like our structural battery pack? — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 22, 2020 Shocking, right? Especially now, with Tesla's value existing comfortably in the stratosphere, but here's the kicker: Apple didn't even accept Musk's request for a meeting -- or at least that's what Musk said on Twitter on Tuesday. He also said he was planning to offe...
