If you thought you heard everything about Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),Today we give you the least bizarre news. The fact is that the Boeing company has begun to offer a new model of communications satellite that would suit both companies like a glove. currently struggling to take over the world of maps on mobile devices, Google and Apple. However, they are not the only ones interested since Facebook or Amazon, among others, would also be requesting information in this regard.
The fact is that it seems that there is already an agreement with one of these companies, although it has not been specified which one it is, so that this year the first unit of that communications satellite to orbit around the Earth would already be launched. Faced with these rumors, the alarms go off with Apple, because in recent times we do not stop seeing how they invest in R&D as far as maps are concerned.
The information we are offering you comes from an event offered by the Boeing company in which its vice president of business development, Jim simpson has said that:
The key to doing this type of thing is the high information transmission capacity that allows us to move gigabytes, terabytes or petabytes of information.
It should be noted that despite the fact that Boeing has not released a pledge on the subject and in terms of its conversations with the different companies in the sector that we have mentioned, it seems that Apple could be the one that is interested at the moment in be able to launch a satellite of this type and have it at your entire disposal. In this way, those from Cupertino would have communications between Apple's data centers around the world free from the hassle of ground-based facilities, as well as being better protected in the event of natural disasters.
We will see what all this is about because what is clear is that while the cost of using this type of satellites is not equal to what it could have in case of doing the terrestrial installation, few are the companies that could afford an outlay and maintenance of this type of installation off Earth.
