    Viodi View – 05/18/23

    Rural broadband operators do more than connect homes to the Internet. They inherently bring together communities. In this issue of the Viodi, we feature interviews with two geographically distinct broadband operators and how they are improving the communities they serve in ways that go beyond broadband. A Miracle League on the Home Field Baseball is…

    The Hidden, Low-Cost Radar that Sees Near and Far

    The sensor as part of the bumper, much the way skin on a human both protects and feels, is the concept behind what Plastic Omnium calls 4D Imaging radar. Developed in partnership with Greenerwave, Plastic Omnium’s approach promises greater resolution, at lower cost, while avoiding styling compromises often associated with traditional automobile sensors. Its solution…

  • A New Mapping Camera Assembly & More?

    Could this be a new way for Google or some other entity to capture images and metadata of the streets and buildings in a community? This module was recently seen strapped to a ski rack on an unmarked mini-SUV in Silicon Valley. It features seven cameras (6 each providing horizontal view with one pointing upwards).…

    Telecom Techniques for Autonomous Sensing

    A full-stack autonomous sensing platform for ten percent the cost of conventional methods is what Perceptive promises. Their path to this dramatic cost reduction is to apply both principles and components of modern telecommunications. Similar to a modern wireless network, fiber optic cables carry laser and radar signals between small, inexpensive antennas and a central…
