July 2021 Redefining travel paradigms: New wireless communication solutions to flying cars 1 min read · Wed, Jul 7 2021 News The existing ground-based transportation systems suffer from various challenges, including the high cost of infrastructure development, limited land space, and a growing urban population. Hence, one solution to tackle this problem is by moving from 2D transportation systems towards 3D mobility that will improve urban air mobility and help reach last-mile regions. Nevertheless, the safe operation of flying cars will require well-developed wireless communication networks; however, existing communication technologies need enhancement to provide services to flying cars. Therefore, this work July 2020 Hybrid Acoustic-Pptical strategies for Marine Exploration Sensing 1 min read · Tue, Jul 28 2020 News Underwater Optical Wireless Communications and Networking underwater optical communications ISL scientists have developed a hybrid sensor network that overcomes the shortcomings of acoustic and optical waves. Acoustic and optical waves are two of the most commonly used underwater wireless communication systems. The new hybrid sensor network can transmit acoustic and optimal signals simultaneously. This feature alongside other developments makes the sensor network a potential solution for the increased demand in high quality underwater communications. Mohammed Slim-Alouni, a Professor of Electrical Engineering at KAUST believes that using a combination of acoustic and optical waves To Boldly Go Where No Sensor Has Gone Before: The Movement to Place IoT in Radical New Spaces 1 min read · Mon, Jul 27 2020 News IoT electrical engineering The rapid growth of the world’s population demands more natural resources, food, and space. World renowned physicist Stephan Hawking has argued that soon we will require another world to live on because we are running out of space and natural resources. This ever-increasing demand for resources and space needs novel technologies to explore natural resources, produce more crops, and explore outer space. Internet of X-things (X-IoT) is an enabling technology to overcome all of the above issues. The framework of X-IoT consists of three major categories as shown in Figure 1.
