If there is one remaining bright-spot to airline travel I would have to say it is Wi-Fi in the sky. It can be the best part of your next flight or a disaster - and that goes for both passengers and crew. One company, Endeavour Technology, is working to make the experience universally delightful for all involved, which may be the best news of all.

The convergence of terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks is promising to fast-track the next generation of ubiquitous connectivity for automobiles, rail, and other mobility systems. The vision of space-connected vehicles is not new. My perspectives on the evolving possibilities go back to a conversation with the Michigan Aerospace and Manufacturers Association (MAMA) in the Spring of 2020, which culminated in a talk I gave later that summer on the potential intersection of

We like to think our local law enforcement has all the latest gadgets and technology to prevent and solve crimes and respond to emergencies. At the Police Fleet Expo in Orlando this week there certainly was plenty of gear including radios, displays, keyboards, cameras, radars, and tracking devices along with ballistic glass, PIT maneuver bumpers, weapons storage, and brakes - lots of brakes. Notably, only one company was showing advanced connectivity technology integrating sa

July 4, 2026, was an eventful day for Waymo in San Francisco. Some Waymo vehicles were filmed driving over lit fireworks in the street, while dozens of others congregated in the Presidio neighborhood blocking traffic for hours, according to eyewitnesses and news reports. A loss of cell service was cited by at least one observer and some of the traffic jammed Waymos even lost power. It all strongly suggests that the time has arrived for Waymo to add satellite connectivity to i

The title of the Hogan Lovells event last week was "Beyond the Moon: Nuclear Power and NASA’s Ignition Program." The uninformed or uninitiated might have thought that NASA's Ignition Program would represent the introduction of nuclear technology to space, but the reality is something quite different.

With war on the fringe of the Mediterranean and on NATO's eastern flank, the thinking vis-a-vis the role of the satellite industry is rapidly coalescing around the role of public and specifically defense funding and Europe's widening space gap with the rest of the world. The space gap is increasingly looking existential. At SmallSat Europe, the takeaway, as reported by Satnews, is that Europe is stepping up to close that gap.

We all know orbital space is becoming crowded, but is that something we need to be worried about? Kayhan Space's Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer Araz Feyzi thinks so. In his words: "the launch curve is going vertical."

The emergence of direct-to-device satellite communications has set off a wave of investments, partnerships, new service announcements, and spectrum grabs in spite of the bandwidth limitations of the technology. Advocates are talking about near universal wireless coverage with the prospect, in the future, of broadband speeds.
