The 3 legacy Telco's are teaming up and collectively getting into the direct-to-cell service arena - better hurry StarLink is already there and growing fast and Amazon Leo is coming up fast on the outside!

AT&T and Verizon already have partnership deals with AST SpaceMobile for satellite direct-to-device services with AST continuing to place satellites into orbit - next launch is scheduled for mid-June 2026. https://www.advanced-television.com/2026/05/14/att-t-mobile-verizon-for-satellite-jv/ #Mobility #DirecttoCell #Satellite #StarLink #Leo #Verizon #ATT #TMobile #AST #DirecttoDevice #Cellular #Communications

Rudolf #Virchow is central to the #history of #medicine and #pathology, with his seminal work #Cellularpathologie from 1858 laying the foundation for modern pathology. His principle that "every cell arises from another cell" revolutionized our understanding of #disease as a #cellular process. I bought a copy of this influential book and share insights from it in my latest blog post:

Running Your Own 3G Network

RE: https://mastodon.social/@destevez/116467333014766865

Today, @destevez is at it again: he wrote an in-depth analysis of NB-IoT (one of the LTE-family standards, aimed at lowest data rates) downlink signals. I'm slowly working through it, and I learn a lot!

By the way, people might not have noticed, but he shares recordings on ​Zenodo.org / publishes them within @OpenAIRE ; which makes this data available for people who want to follow along his work, but also for designers of CtFs, RFML folks and lecturers.
