Interview: Harris CapRock Communications - "The Bandwidth Demand Surge"claytonroot
The oil and gas sector is experiencing a surge in demand for high-bandwidth applications as exploration and drilling companies seek to remotely manage their sites. Bandwidth needs have grown exponentially, with some offshore facilities now requiring up to 4Mbps compared to just 256Kbps 10 years ago. This is driven by the industry's increased use of remote monitoring technologies and automation to reduce on-site staff, which generates more data and requires more bandwidth. Additionally, companies are under pressure to improve crew welfare by providing better connectivity for personal use. Future regulations around data storage and replication for safety purposes are expected to further increase bandwidth demands.
Analysis of the global satellite backhaul market april 2015Boaz Rein
The document analyzes the global satellite backhaul market. It finds that economic growth in China and India is driving new demand for satellite services to connect remote locations that traditional backhaul technologies cannot reach. The satellite backhaul market is expected to grow to $420.56 million by 2020, with the Asia Pacific region experiencing the highest growth due to connecting more people than any other region. Major satellite companies like Hughes, Gilat, and Intelsat dominate the market globally.
Satellite Backhaul has historically allowed MNOs to expand their coverage. However, these opportunities were
traditionally restrained to very remote locations, driven by government incentive programs. Satellite was perceived
as a slow, expensive and cumbersome solution, able to capture a mere 1.7 percent of global installations of base
stations (2019 Satellite Market Share by BTS Backhaul Technology).

Future Sat Africa - GVF, Satellite Spectrum UpdateMyles Freedman
This document summarizes Martin Jarrold's presentation on satellite spectrum at FutureSat Africa 2016. The key points are:
1. The 2015 World Radiocommunication Conference recognized the importance of protecting satellite spectrum while also allowing for IMT use. However, efforts to secure satellite spectrum for IMT have continued despite no demonstrated need.
2. The conference prevented identifying spectrum in the C-band (3.4-4.2 GHz and 4.5-4.8 GHz) for terrestrial mobile use to protect critical satellite services. However, interference concerns remain above 3.6 GHz with continued pressure for IMT.
3. The GVF opposes studies for identifying IMT in satellite bands below 31GHz

Intelsat C-band workshop - short versionAdrian Hall
The document summarizes information from a Euroconsult study on C-band satellite usage in Africa. It finds that C-band represents around 50% of satellite capacity in Africa and is used extensively across many industries and applications due to its resistance to rain fade and reliable coverage of large areas. However, the ITU is considering reallocating some C-band spectrum for mobile use, which could negatively impact existing C-band satellite networks that many economic sectors rely on. There is opposition to this reallocation from various organizations and countries due to feasibility and sharing concerns.

Identify and explain key technologies for evolutionary change in spaceborne communications.
Solution
The Air Force should invest in those satellite communications technologies unavailable in the
commercial sector that are critical for military-specific, core communications services; other
technologies and services can be adapted from commercial practice. From the foregoing
discussion these critical technologies are:
• Antenna systems that efficiently direct downlink power to users (even at unplanned locations)
and reject jamming on the uplinks by use of multi-beam, real-time adaptive antenna patterns
• Very high-rate (many gigabits per second) communications for sensor data relay and
dissemination among spacecraft, airplanes, and ground sites; optical communications is the
method of choice
• Onboard processing for jamming protection that despreads and demodulates uplink signals and
routes them to appropriate downlinks, providing interconnection of disparate users (including
packet communications)
The present state of practice for advanced antenna arrays is to use global spot multibeam routing
and switching. However, recent advances on antenna arrays have provided limited adaptive beam
forming. Based on the present development, a 3 Gbps data throughput rate should be achievable
on satellites before the end of the century. It will be necessary to continue shifting the RF
communication band to a higher frequency with wider bandwidth to obtain increased data rates.
Therefore, it is essential to continue to develop the electronics required to send telemetry at a
higher operating frequency.
The use of real-time adaptive beam patterns on up-link and down-link on communications
satellites has been very limited. Today, commercial satellites have multiple beams, but they are
usually fixed in anticipation of a particular orbital location and an intended customer base. For
military communications, neither of these is likely since the theater of operations is
scenariodependent. The ability to create multiple narrow-beam downlinks allows the satellite
transmitter power to be directed only to the intended users, as well as permitting frequency re-
use (important in the crowded spectrum allocations). Both factors result in increased capacity
through the satellite. The ability to create multiple narrow-beam uplinks provides high receiving
gain that in turn allows either smaller earth terminals to close the link or higher data rates to be
transmitted. Substantial reductions in ground terminal costs will result. More importantly,
narrow-beam uplinks can be used to reject interfering sources (jammers) out-of-beam, and,
through combining of multiple beams, to reject jamming sources within a beamwidth. The ability
to do such realtime adaptive antenna beam formation to create very deep, narrow nulls anywhere
within the field of view of the satellite over the very wide bandwidths necessary for AJ
modulation is not something that the commercial sector will develop (c.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...DanBrown980551
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
