The France-based global satellite service operator, in collaboration with Yahsat arm Thuraya, is to offer a range of vessel on-board communication options, ...

In addition, ship operators were also offered a 20 percent discount on scratch cards and doubled its maritime data services for the same rate,” Soussia said. “The new satellite will offer higher speeds and enhanced mobility. “The maritime portfolio has many use cases – from advanced crew welfare on merchant’s vessels and at remote oil rigs to “home-alike” streaming on-board super yachts. “We are working with a few leading international organisations for Satcom-based humanitarian solutions. While vertical farming happens in farmhouses that can be connected to terrestrial infrastructure, monitoring of open fields depends on satcom data transfer,” he said. Besides, more than 76,000 Ukrainian seafarers employed around the globe increasingly needed regular communication with loved ones back home.

China Develops New 'Starlink Killer' Anti-Satellite Microwave ... (EurAsian Times)

China claims to have developed a compact power source that might drastically reduce the size of a high-power microwave weapon capable of bringing down the ...

This new system is another method China can use to accomplish that task, increasing the threat to US satellites, drones, and aircraft,” Lewis explained. This distinctive design facilitated the production of ultra-high-power electron beams in a restricted space. [said](https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3214251/scientists-shrink-chinas-starlink-killing-microwave-weapon-new-power-source?module=perpetual_scroll_0&pgtype=article&campaign=3214251) that the high-intensity energy produced by this device could generate microwave beams that are potent enough to damage drones, airplanes, and even satellites [. The device made by Shu’s team is an electron accelerator with a peculiar interior structure resembling DNA. According to Chinese scientists, generating high-power electricity in a small device can lead to catastrophic failure. Nevertheless, the team encountered some challenges while attempting to make this device operate efficiently.

China shrinks 'Starlink-killing' weapon to fit on trucks – '10-gigawatt ... (The Sun)

A DEVASTATINGLY powerful Chinese microwave weapon that can shoot down targets could soon be operated from the back of a truck.Chinese researchers have.

This new compact weapon could allow the Chinese military to put microwave cannons on the back of trucks for targeted strikes. What's more, the device can generate up to 10 gigawatts of electricity at a rate of 10 pulses per second, a new report from A DEVASTATINGLY powerful Chinese microwave weapon that can shoot down targets could soon be operated from the back of a truck.

China's mini microwave cannon could reportedly fry Starlink satellites (Interesting Engineering)

The high-power microwave cannon can allegedly be plugged straight into a regular power grid before being fired at satellites and drones.

It could also be plugged into a regular power grid, according to the scientists behind the project. The researchers behind the new device said similar devices currently used by the military currently generate microwaves in kilowatt or megawatt power. It can also be placed on the back of a truck and plugged straight into a regular power grid, making it highly mobile for battle scenarios.
