Don\u2019t fall for the misconception that only developing nations suffer from poor connectivity \u2014 some of the most developed nations in the world, like the U.S., the U.K., and Australia, struggle with the same connectivity hurdles!<\/li><li>So, how is Transcelestial doing things differently? \u201cWe can take the laser from inside a fiber-optic cable and make it shoot wirelessly between buildings, cell towers, continents, satellites, and eventually, planets,\u201d said Rohit, who is also the CEO.<\/li><li>The team built a shoebox-sized device, dubbed the CENTAURI, that is much cheaper and easier to set up. What\u2019s more, it is capable of delivering 10Gbps at 3-kilometer distances, and only consumes the energy equivalent to a light bulb.<\/li><li>\u201cWith our tech, you can essentially connect a few buildings in less than a day. Not only are the laser links easy to set up, but they can also withstand tough weather conditions like humidity and rain,\u201d he added.<\/li><li>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3B0ZadI\">here<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stories you may have missed this week:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/dailymarkup581\">Homage, Merkle Science, Una Brands, PeopleFund, Spaceship, and Workmate<\/a> on Forbes Asia 100 to Watch list<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/dailymarkup582\">Peddlr<\/a> empowers neighborhood stores to offer financial services to the unbanked in the Philippines<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/dailymarkup583\">Horangi<\/a> provides round-the-clock cybersecurity muscle for banking app serving digital natives<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/dailymarkup584\">Carousell<\/a> makes buying high-quality preloved phones safe and simple with InstantBuy Mobile<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3TQfjvc\">Bukalapak released their latest impact report<\/a>, detailing the team\u2019s efforts in uplifting entrepreneurs and women in the MSME space.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3exMOSQ\">Carsome launched their Eric Cantona campaign<\/a> in Indonesia by flooding the Indonesian streets with yellow riders.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/nas.io\/\">Nas Academy launched Nas.io<\/a>, a community-building platform, that integrates with multiple existing platforms and enables the launch of online communities within minutes.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From sea to space Heard of undersea cables?
