Humane officially launches the AI Pin, its OpenAI-powered wearable. It’s a gadget designed for interacting with large language models.
Apple Vision Pro. The new headset runs visionOS, uses two Apple Silicon chips (M2 Ultra and R1), and can be used for up to two hours with a tethered battery pack or for as long as you want if it’s plugged in.
Disney Imagineer Creates VR Tech That’s Close to STAR TREK’s Holodecks. HoloTile is an omnidirectional treadmill-like floor. One that multiple people can use at the same time. And it can simulate a virtual reality space better than anything else ever made to date.
Wifi 7 speed is 46 Gbps, radio spectrum communication. Wi-Fi Alliance Introduces Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7. Maximum speeds with a typical mobile phone with WiFi 7 can reach up to 5Gbps
Wi-Fi 8: 802.11bn aims to deliver 10 Gbps throughput with realistic clients by 2028.
Wi-Fi HaLow is marketed as having a range of 1 km; however, our testing revealed an even higher observed capability. In line-of-sight tests, we reached 3 km for data communication and over 600 meters (m) for HD-quality video transmission with Wi-Fi HaLow. Wi-Fi Test Breaks Record With Amazing Range Of Over 1.8 Miles.
LoRaWAN is a current leader in wide-area coverage with a distance record of 766 kilometers (km), or about 476 miles (mi).
Wi-SUN is short for Wireless Smart Utility Network, a newer communication standard formulated in recent years. The Wi-SUN Alliance was established in 2012, and standardization based on IEEE802.15.4g is currently underway.
WiGig, alternatively known as 60 GHz Wi-Fi, refers to a set of 60 GHz wireless network protocols. It includes the current IEEE 802.11ad standard and also the IEEE 802.11ay standard. The WiGig specification allows devices to communicate without wires at multi-gigabit speeds.
Lifi speed is 224 Gbps, light spectrum communication. IEEE finally brings Li-Fi wireless internet standard 802.11bb
Laser Space optical communications is at 200 Gbps.
Wifi Lifi combo satellite phone at 200 Gbps would be cutting edge.
Terabit Ethernet: The New Hot Trend in Data Centers people refer to Terabit Ethernet (TbE) to Ethernet speeds above 100 Gbps. Although 10GbE and 40GbE are more common, we are already starting to see 100GbE around, especially in large Data Centers and Enterprises.
“Terabit Ethernet”, characterized by speeds that top 100 Gb/sec. And continuing this momentum in the bandwidth stakes, the 2022 technology roadmap from the Ethernet Alliance has defined speeds of 800 Gb/sec and 1.6 Tbit/sec. Nokia has recently unveiled 800 Gb/sec IP routers, which are based on the telecom giant’s fifth generation of high-performance IP routing silicon, dubbed FP5.
Nokia today announced its technology partnership with ESnet and unveiled ESnet6, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) high performance network dedicated to collaborative scientific research. ESnet has deployed Nokia’s market-leading 7750 Service Router (SR) platforms to provide high-speed 100Gbps and 400 Gbps services over an IP/MPLS network designed to support over 46 Tbps of capacity.
Most networks are still operating a multitude of 100GE ports, with 400GE on the horizon. Nokia’s trial with Elisa is proving out terabit interfaces today.
Elisa upgraded some of its Nokia 7950 Extensible Routing System (XRS) nodes with 1T interfaces powered by Nokia’s FP4 chipset, the industry’s first terabit capable routing silicon. The new FP4 terabit linecard supports two 1T ports and demonstrated deployment readiness by carrying live traffic on Elisa’s network. Besides a 10x boost in capacity, terabit links simplify operational complexity and overheads by avoiding the need to distribute terabit flows on high capacity routes over multiple lower rate interfaces in link aggregation groups.
Engineers Shatter Fiber Optic Speed Record at 22.9 Petabits Per Second. Engineers in Japan have created a single fiber optic cable capable of transmitting data at an astonishing 22.9 petabits per second.
SpaceX sets new rocket record with 96 successful launches in 2023
NASA, Partners Achieve Fastest Space-to-Ground Laser Comms Link achieving 200 gigabit per second (Gbps) throughput on a space-to-ground optical link between a satellite in orbit and Earth, the highest data rate ever achieved by optical communications technology.
NASA used the Deep Space Optical Communications technology demonstrator to beam a video to Earth from a record-setting distance of 31 million km (19 million mi) – about 80 times the distance between the Earth and the Moon.
Amazon plans for Project Kuiper to offer speeds of up to 400 megabits per second for most consumers when fully deployed in 2029. That's approximately twice the average U.S. broadband speed, according to Speedtest.
Starlink users typically experience download speeds between 25 and 220 Mbps, with a majority of users experiencing speeds over 100 Mbps. Upload speeds are typically between 5 and 20 Mbps.
Google and AT&T join $155 million AST SpaceMobile investment. BlueWalker-3, the Texas-based venture’s 1,500-kilogram prototype, achieved download rates of around 14 megabits per second during tests in September. Those tests also saw BlueWalker-3 relay a brief 5G phone call to an ordinary smartphone in a cellular dead zone for the first time. According to AST SpaceMobile, five BlueBirds are enough for intermittent connectivity services, suitable for government and commercial device monitoring applications, but 90 are needed for a 5G broadband service that ultimately includes voice and data capabilities.
How Satellites Are Becoming the New Cellphone Towers. Larger antennas and better beamforming are routing calls through orbit. Companies are also making their satellites more like cellphone towers by flying them lower than before.
Scientists create first semiconductor made of graphene.
The race to produce rare earth materials. Primary extraction in the US is limited; only one active mine, the Mountain Pass Rare Earth Mine and Processing Facility in California, produces rare earth elements domestically.
Slumbering U.S. Supervolcano Holds $1.5 Trillion Worth Of Lithium. Geologists believe they have uncovered the world's largest lithium deposit within an ancient supervolcano straddling the Nevada-Oregon border. Up to 40 million metric tons of the precious metal — worth about $1.5 trillion — have been identified throughout a 28-mile-long stretch of the McDermitt Caldera.
Second Record-Setting Lithium Deposit In Nevada Announced. American Battery Technology Company (ABTC's) Tonopah Flats project, located approximately 150 miles to the northwest of Las Vegas, sits on a leasing area with over 18 million tons of lithium in volcanic clay (enough to produce 2 billion average-sized electric vehicle batteries). The estimated 18 million-ton motherlode could be worth up to $540 billion and meet America's demand for decades to come.
Salton Sea area could produce enough lithium for 375 million electric car batteries. The Salton Sea lithium deposit is estimated to be worth approximately $540 billion based on current market prices for lithium.
2.34 BILLION metric tons of rare earth minerals discovered in Wyoming that could make US 'world leader'. The US could soon surpass China as the world leader in rare earth minerals after more than 2.34 billion metric tons were discovered in Wyoming. The rare earth minerals uncovered at the site included oxides of neodymium, praseodymium, samarium, dysprosium and terbium.
