SSTL win BNSC rural broadband study
The British National Space Centre has awarded Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL), and Avanti Communications Limited a £100,000 study contract to examine the provision of satellite based broadband services. The study will focus on the provision of cost-effective broadband internet services by satellite for rural areas and developing... view more... (2003-08-06)
World's fastest modulator from Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, and Optillion
Researchers from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden in collaboration with the Optillion company, have developed the world's fastest modulator in micro format. It is considerably smaller than 1 square millimeter and can transmit at 100 Gb/s, which is the equivalent of broadband connections at 2Mb for 50,000 people at the... view more... (2003-06-27)
Broadband access opens doors to networking, economic development for rural areas
Proactive policies are needed to facilitate broadband Internet access and adoption in rural areas so that rural hospitals, schools and businesses can drive social and economic development and better position themselves to compete, say Penn State researchers in a recently released report from the Center for Rural Pennsylvania. view more (2008-05-20)
Peer-to-peer broadband services for grandmothers
Heidelberg. A high-level panel of decision-makers in European communications technology discussed the business perspectives of broadband services at the Eurescom Summit 2002 on Thursday, 24 October. For Scott Robinson, Director of Carrier Service Market Development at Alcatel, broadband is already a success, given the fact that there are already... view more... (2002-10-24)
High speed broadband will create energy bottleneck and slow Internet
"Increased services like Video on Demand will put pressure on the system and create an energy bottleneck," said Dr Kerry Hinton of the University's Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and the ARC Special Centre for Ultra-Broadband Information Networks (CUBIN). view more (2008-11-25)
Broadband for all from High Altitude Platforms - York leads international project
An international project aims to make Broadband available to remote rural areas and even moving trains, thanks to 'High Altitude Platforms' (HAPs). HAPs are airships or solar-powered aircraft, which are permanently located in the skies at an altitude of 20 km, above aeroplanes but below satellites. This solution will be cheaper and more efficient... view more... (2004-01-19)
Television phones to become a reality
Talking to your family and friends through your television could soon become a reality, if the set-top-box technology developed by Red Embedded Design Co Ltd receives the investment it is looking for at the Connect Yorkshire Springboard Investment Conference today. view more (2004-11-30)
Satellite broadband to boost rural economies
The so-called digital divide that excludes rural communities from the benefits of broadband access could be overcome by using a combination of wireless networks and satellite receivers. A new project aims to bring high-speed internet connections to rural areas of England and Scotland. The system could benefit rural economies and the market for... view more... (2003-10-15)
Solar Power Aircraft Will Make Broadband Available To All

EU Funding Helps 'Microfirms' Take advantage of Broadband and Business Networking
Help for Microfirms - companies with less than 10 employees - to take advantage of the opportunities of broadband and business networking is now available thanks to a grant of 1.4 million euros from the EU's Framework Programme. view more (2005-03-23)
Optical wireless and broadband over power lines: High speed, secure Wi-Fi alternative
Penn State engineers have shown that a white-LED system for lighting and high data-rate indoor wireless communications, coupled with broadband over either medium- or low-voltage power line grids (BPL), can offer transmission capacities that exceed DSL or cable and are more secure than RF. view more (2006-01-12)
Cars will become personalised communication devices - EU project DAIDALOS
When Bart Watson leaves home to go on a business trip, his personal communication services will accompany him. The e-mails he studied on his PC at home will also be available on the terminal in his car, where they are read to him by his handheld device while he drives.
