Babcock nears first customer for Nomad AI translation tool
Nomad can provide militaries with real-time intelligence, saving critical time on the battlefield.
SATcase goes solar
The SATcase device, which adds satellite connectivity and Search and Rescue (SAR) capability to smartphones, has added solar power to its offering under an arrangement with SunnyBAG.
With this offering, SATcase users will get longer battery life and satellite connectivity when other power sources are unavailable. The ruggedised device works with a standard smartphone using an application. It also includes emergency features such as two-way rescue communications, silent alarms, an SOS button, track-and-trace for live monitoring and infrared strobes.
As part of the strategic partnership, SunnyBAG will manufacture a purpose-designed bag with integrated flexible solar panels to hold the SATcase when it is not being used.
Jim Thomson, founder and CEO, SATcase, said: 'The SATcase is designed for use in remote areas, so the challenge is to maintain a charged battery to enable the equipment to be operated anytime, anywhere. We had already dispensed with the need for a dedicated charger as the SATcase can be charged from virtually any power source via a 2.5mm jack.
'However, for those working or living remotely for a longer period of time, solar power is the perfect solution. We're delighted to be partnering with another young, innovative company to produce game-changing technology that will potentially save lives.'
