Digital Locations, Inc. announced a recent podcast featuring CEO Rich Berliner and Dr. Jian Yao, a scientist at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) and an Adjunct Professor at Colorado State University. The discussion revolved around the critical challenges of satellite synchronization, positioning, and timing in providing high-speed Internet access.

Dr. Yao highlighted the importance of synchronization, positioning, and timing in satellite to mobile communications. Precise satellite orbital determination is necessary to accurately predict the path and location of satellites in orbit, ensuring that data is received correctly. Clock synchronization is also crucial for efficient bandwidth utilization. With wider bandwidth, better clock synchronization is preferred to minimize the need for forward error correction and prevent bandwidth loss.

Dr. Jian Yao is an experienced scientist who has worked on orbits and clocks of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and low-Earth-orbit satellites. He has published numerous papers related to positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) and has expertise in GNSS carrier-phase time transfer, optical-clock timescale architecture and algorithm, GNSS data processing and software development, and GNSS satellite clock estimation.

Digital Locations, Inc. is developing a disruptive technology that aims to deliver high-speed Internet directly to smartphones worldwide using satellites. Currently, high-speed Internet access is limited to densely populated areas. By leveraging the increasing number of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites being launched by companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin, Digital Locations aims to provide high-speed Internet to smartphones without the need for additional equipment or cell towers. This technology has the potential to bridge the digital divide, providing equal access to high-speed Internet for all individuals, regardless of location or economic status.

By overcoming satellite synchronization challenges, Digital Locations’ technology holds promise for revolutionizing wireless communication and enabling services such as remote learning, telework, healthcare, and public participation. The company is collaborating with a research team from Florida International University to develop this innovative solution.
