Honeywell's India engineers develop satellite terminal the design and development of the terminal required deep understanding of satellite radios, hardware and software wirless and wireless design, expertise in electromagnetic interference, electronic magnetic compliance, and electronic PCB layouts. The haptic interface consists of a haptic device (a mechanical manipulator with sensors) and a computer that runs the control system governing the interaction wtih the virutal world. A number of hospitals, including Asian Institute of Gastroenterology, Hyderabad, and Ramaiah Hospitals, are currently testing the product. "One of the advantages of this immersive technology is that, in an oil rig, for example, which is being constructed, I can identify what problems will emerge, "Says Praveen Bhaniramka, founder & CEO of Exxar, a company that provides solutions to Caterpillar, Garden Reach Ship Builders, and Eicher Motors. There is always a gap between design and construction, and it is a major challenge in industiral and manufacturing units, leading to wastage and cost escalations. "Virtual reality allows you to foresee these problems by physically being there, reviewing the design, "says Bhaniramka. Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass but learning how to dance in the rain. Yes, I really miss being in Office, especially collaborating face to face with team members, meeting smiling employees, and lunchtime. Orbiting 35,000 km from the surface of Earth are 14 satellites of the Immarsat constellation. Placed in a geostationary orbit, these satellites can provide mobile and data coverage to the entires surface of the planet. The communicate with portable terminals on Earth, and are used particularly in areas where there is no relaible terrestrial network, like the middle of the sea or in the air. Their protocol was recently upgraded to provide new and improved services. When such upgrades happen, all the customers of the satellite network also have to change their protocol. This presented an opportunity for Honeywell's engineers in India who is just over a year designed and launched a next-generation portable satellite terminal that makes full use of the new portocol.
