I think Pete Wells' sign-off article in today's NYT is a must read for anyone interested in technology, it's impacts on society, or what a good restaurant experience should be like. I spent the first couple months of 1997 running around the country visiting innovative device makers who were doing things with Microsoft's small platform (it had a lot of names including Windows CE). I was looking for what I called a "magic box" that combined several features from different devices in a variety of very different industries. Mind you, this was a full decade before Steve Jobs did his introductory iPhone demonstration. What I was after was a small portable device on which we could install apps for use in super secure machine area networks, with white listed relationships with our switch/router infrastructure such that packets would only be sent by the infrastructure to devices that were specifically authorized to receive packets from the sending device using our own private GUID system (not MAC, EICN, etc.). I also wanted it to be able to be a VoIP phone with full telephony capability other than text, except via a "text over analog speech" channel that had been digitized. Again, this would make it safe to use around factory equipment such as AGVs, and other dangerous things. Well, you still can't buy that box. It is possible to have them made-up custom, but it's such an obvious industrial need, I did not and still do not believe that a company like Boeing should have to pay the price points that would be required for such a device. Cell phones have become a social disaster, while at the same time are pieces of unsafe crap for applications that are crying out for something very much like them, yet different.

Last Thursday we announced the all-new Surface Laptop 6 and Surface Pro 10 for Business. Both devices are a big step in our journey to begin delivering AI PCs to our business and government customers. You'll see plenty of press coverage on those topics, so I thought I'd take a minute to highlight an exciting feature that will likely get missed. One topic that's always been important to my government customers is repairability. Not only are both devices our most repairable yet, but we've simplified the self-repair experience with visual wayfinding on the inside. There's even QR codes linking straight to repair guides specific to the device! If you're not comfortable completing the repairs, we also offer a network of Authorized Service Providers (ASP). Improving repairability also helps improve sustainability, delivering a win win. Excited for both devices to begin shipping in the US on 4/9! #Microsoft #Surface #Repairability

Someone said “get a real phone” to me earlier the other day. It’s not abnormal to be questioned about various technology choices. Especially the Humane AiPin of late. In that moment though, it felt similar to previous shifts… I returned home to unbox and configure the recently acquired Frame by Brilliant Labs and saw something. https://lnkd.in/eWMPSycG This setup gave me a “what if” Am thinking about the type of computing allowing you to be more present; what if this were the near-default? Shades of what Pebble was trying to do with the Pebble 2 and Core back in 2016. Also, pieces of what Apple initially pointed to with the Apple Watch and AirPods combo. Doesn’t need to be implanted. But does need to be less seen. And then, what matters about connectivity? What if… this were the default?

📡 Understanding Pager Devices: Simple but Powerful ! 📡 Pagers may seem old, but they are still a smart way to send messages over long distances using very little power. Here are the key parts inside a pager: 1. Microcontroller : The brain that processes signals and stores messages. 2. Receiver Module: Picks up radio signals from the base station. 3. Display: Shows the message, often on a small screen. 4. Buzzer/LED: Alerts users when a new message arrives. 5. Battery: Powers the device for a long time. How it works: A base station sends a message through radio waves, which the pager catches, processes, and displays on the screen. A beep or light lets you know the message is received. Though mobile phones are common now, pagers are still used in places like hospitals because they’re super reliable even in areas with bad cell signal. Have you worked with pagers before? Let’s chat! 💬 Image Reference - Google #TechSimplified #PagerTech #WirelessCommunication #EmbeddedSystems

To paraphrase Tom Cochrane’s 1991 hit song, “Life is a highway, I want to drive test it all night long.” Yes, I just returned from Seattle, Washington where I spent two days drive testing a smorgasbord of 5G uplink features on the T-Mobile 5G network where Nokia is the RAN provider of record. To make things interesting, I had two pairs of specially configured Motorola Mobility (a Lenovo Company) razr 2024 smartphone models (razr+ and razr) which leveraged 5G modems from Qualcomm and MediaTek. The two models supported various permutations of uplink features, including uplink carrier aggregation (CA), uplink MIMO in n41 and/or n25, PC1.5 and/or PC2. For comparison purposes, I had a phone for each model in which these “new” 5G uplink features were disabled, thus making it possible to do an apples-to-apples comparison of each uplink feature. The companion image shows full buffer uplink throughput with uplink MIMO on Band n41 (100 MHz). I’ve just started analyzing the data, so I don’t have much insight to offer at this time. However, when it is all said and done, I’ll have insight on spectral efficiency gains, throughput gains, UL-MIMO performance as a function of network coverage (RSRP), and energy efficiency. For the latter, I’ll determine whether or not the higher uplink throughput due to the phone using uplink CA or uplink MIMO more than offsets the higher current drain. T-Mobile and Motorola provided logistical support in their respective areas, but they had no other involvement in the study. Likewise, no other company had any involvement in this study. Like all Signals Ahead reports, this benchmark study was 100% funded by our loyal Signals Ahead subscribers. I’ll be coming out with this report later this month or in early August. I’ll also post a report preview in LinkedIn as well as make a report preview available on the Signals Research Group - SRG website. Thanks to Accuver for providing the XCAL5 drive test software and XCAP post-processing software, as well as Spirent Communications for the use of the Umetrix Data platform that I used to generate the high bandwidth data transfers.
