Starlink is a network of satellites that provide the internet. The constellation will consist of thousands of mass-produced small satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), working in combination with ground transceivers. It’s being built by SpaceX, Elon Musk’s aerospace company. The satellite network operates at 550km above the Earth’s surface in low Earth orbit, unlike conventional internet satellites that are… Read more →

Data Centres are simply centralised locations where computing and networking equipment is concentrated for the purpose of collecting, storing, processing, distributing, or allowing access to large amounts of data. They have existed in one form or another since the advent of computers. In the days of the room-sized behemoths that were our early computers, a data center might have had… Read more →
A Quantum Dot is a human-made nanoparticle that has semiconductor properties. They’re tiny, ranging in size from 2 to 10 nanometers, with the size of the particle dictating the wavelength of light it emits, and therefore the color. When Quantum Dots are hit with a light source, each dot emits a color of a specific bandwidth: Larger dots emit light… Read more →
A zero-day attack (also referred to as Day Zero) is an attack that exploits a potentially serious software security weakness that the vendor or developer may be unaware of. The software developer must rush to resolve the weakness as soon as it is discovered in order to limit the threat to software users. The solution is called a software patch.… Read more →
