ai technical

"using AI to disrupt others, and the risk of being disrupted themselves"

Artificial intelligence (AI) is technology that enables machines to mimic human thinking and learning, allowing them to analyze information, recognize patterns, and make decisions. For investors, AI matters because it can improve how businesses operate, create new products, or identify opportunities faster and more accurately than humans alone, potentially impacting company success and market trends.

satellite connectivity technical

"its pioneering work to eliminate wireless dead zones through satellite connectivity"

Satellite connectivity is the delivery of voice, data and internet services through orbiting satellites instead of ground-based cables or cell towers, like having Wi‑Fi from space that reaches remote areas and moving vehicles. Investors care because it can create new revenue streams, expand markets where traditional networks don’t reach, and offer network backup or global coverage; at the same time it involves high upfront costs, regulatory approvals and technology risk that affect profitability and growth forecasts.
