Foreign Trade Bank of Cambodia (FTB)
(Banking / Finance)
FTB is Cambodia's first and foremost bank. It is a private commercial bank and has been providing customers with safe and reliable banking services for 40 years. The Bank was created following Sub-decree No. 1213 dated 10 October 1979 under the former regime of the State of Cambodia. In 2000, the Bank was separated from the direct management of the National Bank of Cambodia ("the Central Bank") in order to transform its permanent identity into a state-owned commercial bank in Cambodia with the features of a Public Economic Enterprise and with the intention of conducting autonomous business operations. In January 2001, the Bank obtained its banking license from the Central Bank to operate as a commercial bank in the Kingdom of Cambodia for a period of three years starting from 4 January 2001. This was the first license granted to enable the Bank to operate as a separate legal entity independent from the Central Bank's direct management. On 8 January 2004, the Bank obtained its 2nd banking license from the Central Bank for a period of three years starting from that date. The Bank now holds a commercial banking license, which was renewed for an indefinite period, on 21 December 2006 On 31 December 2002, the Ministry of Economy and Finance ("MEF") announced, through a Statement of Intent, the privatisation of the Bank as part of the reform of the financial sector of the Royal Government of Cambodia. On 28 October 2005 the shareholders of the Bank, represented by the Privatisation Committee, entered into a sales agreement with Canadia Bank and ING Holding Company. The Central Bank sold its 20% shareholding in the Bank and MEF reduced its 80% shareholding to 10%. In 2009, in accordance with the recommendation of the Central Bank, Canadia Bank reduced its shares from 48% to 15.22% and 2 new private shareholders having respectively a share of 15.39%, entered the capital of FTB.

Alan Osborne, a Walton County resident who has fought a lengthy battle with county commissioners over drainage issues in his subdivision, has filed an ethics complaint against Sheriff Mike Adkinson.
Adkinson shrugged off the complaint as a poorly written political ploy filed by a man actively campaigning for his opponent in the Nov. 6 election.
�The problem Mr. Osborne has is that he confuses what he doesn�t like with what is legal,� Adkinson said.
Osborne, a resident of the Driftwood Estates subdivision in South Walton, is the most vocal member of a homeowners group that has sued the county for allegedly failing to enforce its own storm water runoff regulations.
The Greater Driftwood Estates Homeowner Association contends that continuing development in their neighborhood is straining a storm water retention system that wasn�t built to county specifications.
The group claims roads in the neighborhood flood after even moderate rain.
In his ethics complaint, Osborne claims he took evidence of crimes committed by Walton County Commissioner Scott Brannon to the Sheriff�s Office.
Adkinson, the complaint says, failed to act on the evidence or turn it over to the state attorney�s office.
It also states he failed �to enforce or get involved in the enforcement of� county ordinances by not halting the issuance of building permits in the Driftwood Estates subdivision.
The complaint also contends the sheriff failed to act to prevent the county from violating his right to free speech. He contends he has been thwarted in efforts to address the County Commission on issues.
�The state attorney�s office and the FDLE (Florida Department of Law Enforcement) have agreed with the Sheriff�s Office in the matter,� he said.
Adkinson provided a letter written by Greg Anchors, chief assistant state attorney in Walton County, in which he rejects Osborne�s request to have the sheriff investigated.
The Oct. 22 letter also notes that several courts have thrown out lawsuits in which Osborne asserted that the county committed crimes by allowing building permits to be issued in his subdivision.
�Based on your current allegations, there will be no criminal charges against either the sheriff or the county commissioners,� Anchors said in the letter.


Of course I had to start with the royal wedding song! Did you watch it? Well I was in Spain with 12 other lovely women for the BrandedU business retreat, but we stopped the workshop and watched Meghan Markle walk down the aisle. We love Meghan because she is a self declared feminist and because she is a role model for young girls. Did you see this video of her (on Nickelodeon in the nineties) talking about how she convinced a company to change their TV add because it was female unfriendly when she was only a young girl?
But this Ben E King song represents more to me than just another song a choir sang at her wedding. What are the personal branding lessons we can learn from the song and Meghan?
1. Quality is the base for talent.
The song was released twice by Ben E King, in 1961 and 1986 (because of the film with the same titel. Remember River Phoenix… That boy was fine ;-))! It also appeared in a Levi commercial in 1987, remember those? And both times became hits.
So find your 'Stand By Me'! What is your best talent and how good are you at it? Meghan has pledged to 'shine a light' on women's rights once she starts her new role.
2. Everyone can be a role model and make an impact.
There have been over 400 recorded versions of the song, performed by many artists. Needless to say the song made an impact. In 1999, BMI named it as the fourth most-performed song of the 20th century. WOW! And he wrote the song, which at the time was not the normal way for artists.
And just like Meghan when she wrote that letter, you too can do something that has an impact. Just focus on what you think is important. Others will follow that, if it is real.
3. We all need to feel empowered.
The titel of the song shows how much we all need support. I loved it when Meghan (who previously was an ambassador for UN women) said 'women don't need to find a voice, they have a voice, they need to be feel empowered to use it. And people need to be encouraged to listen'. That to me is one of the fundaments of why I started BrandedU. If I can encourage you to really use your talent and voice, instead of holding back because of limiting beliefs, that makes me super happy!
If you are serious about empowering yourself through personal branding… look no further! There are 2 great events coming up.
1. My free personal branding masterclass on the 10th of June. Sign up here if you are serious about yourself and your career and can use help profiling yourself.
2. The high tea with Harper's Bazaar at the Pulitzer hotel on the 24th of June. This will be our one and only high tea this year. So get your tickets before it is sold out!
And then I need you to stand by me! Tomorrow the new Privacy law starts and if you want to keep getting these weekly newsletters, please click here!

Lichen Planus in a young man was cured completely using homeopathy
benadryl and pregnancy dosage
benadryl and pregnancy category defendingutah.org
Mr. K. P. 22 year old man from Hyderabad (Patient Identification Number 12912) visited Life Force on 13th November 2009 with the complaint of Lichen Planus. He was suffering from last fourteen months. His hands, legs and abdomen were affected with Lichen Planus. He was having raised hyper pigmented lesions with severe itching.
He was on prednisolone 16 mg (cortisone) for three months. His complaints were masked by cortisone. He would get cracks and bleeding from the lesions, which was under control with prednisolone. He had stopped using steroid twenty five days prior to his visit to Life Force.
His appetite was average with craving for sweets and fried food. Perspiration, bowel habits and urination were normal. Sleep was sound. He was hot patient with marked aggravation from heat.
Mr. K.P. was planning to do masters in Chemical Engineering from Canada. He was very self conscious and fastidious. He would have strong hatred for the people who have offended him. He was very responsible towards the family and had very rational thinking.
Based on above history Dr. Rajesh Shah prescribed his research-based medicines. In initial two months he noticed some new lesions; which was expected as there was a recent history of intake of cortisone. The lesions started getting better slowly.
Within next two months, the spread stopped completely. Itching was reduced. Only hyperpigmentated marks were there without any itching. In all his further follow ups, there was improvement in his Lichen Planus. By February 2011, when he reported from Canada, he was completely recovered from his Lichen Planus.

17394, Since 10 years I was suffering from sinusitis and headache. I was very much frustrated with the complaints. This would get triggered by taking a head bath or by exposure to extreme sunlight. The headache was so severe that it affected my personal life. Within 2 months of starting the treatment the headache has reduced by 50 - 60%. I feel much better then before. The intensity of the headache is less and I can go out in sunlight without getting much worried about having a headache. God bless Dr Shah!

I would have constant bloating sensation with gas formation. There was blood and mucus in stools. I would have a lot of diarrhea. I was put on the same conventional medicines like azathioprine, mesacol etc, however there was no change despite these medications. Frustrated with this complaint I approached Dr Shah's clinic. With Dr Shah's medicines, within 4 months of starting the treatment, now I have no pain in abdomen, the passing of blood and mucus has also reduced. I am very happy with the treatment and continuing the treatment with a hope of being fully recovered from this chronic condition.

US - The US Department of Agriculture on Friday (16 January) issued a voluntary standard for naturally raised livestock and meat marketing claims.
The standard will be published as a notice in the Federal Register and is titled United States Standards for Livestock and Meat Marketing Claims, Naturally Raised Claim for Livestock and the Meat and Meat Products Derived from such Livestock.
The 'naturally raised marketing claim standard' states that livestock used for the production of meat and meat products have been raised entirely without growth promotants, antibiotics (except for ionophores used as coccidiostats for parasite control), and have never been fed animal by-products. The voluntary standard will establish the minimum requirements for those producers who choose to operate a USDA-verified program involving a 'naturally raised' claim. USDA analyzed over 44,000 comments from producers, processors, consumers and other interested parties in the development of this standard.
The segment of the marketplace that includes specific animal raising claims has experienced exponential growth in the past five years. Use of a naturally raised marketing claim standard has the potential to increase the available supply of US meat products eligible for niche marketing programs in the United States, the European Union, and other export markets that require livestock to be raised without the administration of growth promotants.
USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) works with industry representatives, academia and other interested parties to establish or revise US standards for nearly 240 agricultural products. Industry uses standards in the marketplace to specify the quality of commodities. Standards facilitate commerce by providing a common language for trade and a means of measuring value in the marketing of agricultural products. Increasingly, livestock and meat producers are using production or processing claims to distinguish their products in the marketplace.
The naturally raised marketing claim standard will be published in the 21 January 2009, Federal Register. This voluntary standard will become effective upon Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval of the related information collection provisions pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Braving the outdoors with bare legs may be the ultimate form of winter rebellion, but judging by **Elle Fanning'**s fresh pastel makeup, there are less risky ways to get a head start on spring. The actress paired soft peach lids with a dewy wash of peony blush and matching lip stain at a dinner hosted by Rodarte in Los Angeles last week. Over in Sydney, Cate Blanchett also embraced a watercolor-inspired palette with softly shaded lids and a rosy mauve lipstick that echoed the powdery hue of her silk Alexander McQueen dress at the AACTA Awards. And because pale sixties-inspired pinks were made for evenings spent curled up by the fireplace, Margot Robbie played flushed cheeks and high-beam skin off her cozy turtleneck at the Sundance Film Festival. Just in time for Friday night, here are three reasons to experiment with evening nudes with a hint of color.

Microsoft challenges Google and Deepmind with new AI lab
Microsoft just announced that they will create a new AI lab called "Microsoft Research AI". The big news is that they will focus on "general purpose artificial intelligence" rather than AI that can only perform a single task, such as image recognition. A general intelligence (AGI) is the intelligence of a machine that could successfully perform any intellectual task that a human being can. It is a primary goal of some artificial intelligence research and a common topic in science fiction and future studies. This is the same goal that Google are pursuing. Google is trying to create a General AI through its program Google Brain, as well as with Deep mind, that it acquired a few years ago. The lab will be located at the Microsoft HQ in Redmond and will have more than 100 working scientists.
"The goal is to combine these disciplines to work toward more general artificial intelligence, meaning a single system that can tackle a wide-range of tasks and problems. Such a system, for instance, might be able to both plan the best route to drive through a city and also figure out how to minimize your income tax bill, while also understanding difficult human concepts like sarcasm or gestures."
Eric Horvitz, director of Microsoft Research Labs
AI ethics panel & AI for environment
Apart from the new lab, Microsoft will also add an new ethics panel that oversee the AI development. Previously Microsoft has worked together with Google, Facebook, IBM and Amazon on a multi-company partnership for AI ethics. Microsoft is also starting a new project called "AI for Earth" that will use AI for research on climate change, agriculture and other environment topics.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!!!! Mandolin? Steel Guitar? Ballad of John & Yoko? Are you kidding me? Amazing!!!!! I was standing front row against the rail right in front of Jimmy all night and it was incredible. His fingerwork was intricate and subtle. I was so excited for the steel guitar but Jimmy's fingers kept drawing me back. This was the best show I've ever seen him play. The interplay amongst the guys was awesome. You could see how much fun they were having. The energy was contagious it was like standing in a 100mph windtunnel of sound and energy. I don't normally gush but in 30 years of seeing live music this was a top 5 show of any band I've ever seen. "
"Fantastic show last night!!! Thanks for making it back thru DC, fellas. May your all's glass be "filled", for years and years to come. Thanks for 25 years of good times!"

This week, our first "meal investigation" takes us to Tokorozawa, a city in Saitama Prefecture. This town has many forests where several creatures live and is believed to be the inspiration behind the famous animated film by Hayao Miyazaki, "My Neighbour Totoro".
The area produces a lot of wheat so people here eat udon very often. A speciality dish is Kate Udon, where the noodles are dipped in a strongly flavoured soup that has meat and boiled seasonal vegetables. Tokorozawa also has red soil, which is good for growing fruits. So we visit the Arai Vineyard, owned by Mrs Masayo Arai and her mother, Tsuru. Six kinds of grapes are grown here. They include Kyoho and Himrod; the latter is sweet and seedless. Visitors can enjoy grape-picking in the natural environment and even purchase the grapes as souvenirs.
We next go to an after-school day care centre, Mikajima. About 50 elementary school kids come here regularly. They do their homework or play until their parents pick them up in the evening. We speak to some of the parents, one of whom is Tadashi Narusawa. He agrees to let us visit his home to see the family's dinner. The Narusawa family consists of Mr Narusawa, his wife and two children - Kazuma, who is 11, and seven-year-old Himari. Mr Narusawa has been making fishing lures for 17 years. He handcrafts several hundred lures each year and sells them to fishing gear stores.
For dinner, the family is having Mrs Narusawa's speciality, grilled chicken with melted cheese and aurora sauce. Chicken thighs are topped with onion, enoki mushrooms and zucchini, after which the ingredients are mixed with the sauce made from ketchup, mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Lots of cheese used for pizzas is added and then the chicken is grilled for about 15 minutes. Other dishes include miso soup with enoki mushrooms and tofu; avocado and tomato salad; and burdock salad with white sesame seeds.
The location of our next "meal investigation" is Tomonoura, a port town along the Seto Inland Sea in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture. This area has been an important hub for marine transportation since the Edo period. The picturesque town was also used as a model for Hayao Miyazaki's animated movie, "Ponyo".
For nearly 400 years, sea bream has been caught via net fishing at Tomonoura. Sea breams that come to Tomonoura for spawning in spring and summer are top grade in terms of size, shape and taste. A local speciality is sea bream somen noodles. The noodles go well with the light dipping soup made with sea bream and shiitake mushrooms.
We explore the port town, where one can still see merchants' houses from the Edo period. We meet 84-year-old Ms Reiko, who runs a store called "Ken-chan no Irikoya". It sells dried food her family makes from seafood of Tomonoura such as sardines and squid. She shows us her lunch, which is a special oden she prepared at home. It has dried sardines, egg, ganmodoki, beef tendon and chikuwa. The meal also includes rice balls covered with Korean seaweed.
After this, we go to Ofunayado Iroha, a sea bream restaurant in a renovated townhouse from the Edo period. We request to see what the restaurant staff are having for lunch. The dishes include hamburg steak made of ground beef, onions and grated garlic; and a sweet and spicy sea bream stew.
Next, we drop by okonomiyaki restaurant Nomura, which has been around for more than 100 years. Its third-generation owner, Mitsue Fujimoto, works as a civil servant. So the restaurant is only open on Sundays and during holidays. Nomura used to sell udon, imagawayaki, cakes and tempura. The former owner, Ms Misao, converted it into an okonomiyaki restaurant.
Ms Fujimoto shows us the staff meal. The main dish is okonomiyaki which combines fried egg - a feature of Hiroshima okonomiyaki - and modern-yaki of the Kansai area. Cabbage and agedama are mixed into the batter and pork belly and thick noodles are placed on top. Ms Fujimoto learnt the recipe from her mother. Another item prepared is stir-fried vegetables such as cabbage, carrots and onions seasoned with Okonomiyaki sauce.
1) Fans of "My Neighbour Totoro" should visit Tokorozawa, which inspired the animated film
2) A must-try delicacy in Tomonoura is red sea bream

Q: Summing elems of array using binary recursion I wasn't starting to understand linear recursion and then I thought I practice up on sorting algorithms and then quick sort was where I had trouble with recursion. So I decided to work with a simpler eg, a binary sum that I found online. I understand that recursion, like all function calls, are executed one @ a time and not at the same time (which is what multi-threading does but is not of my concern when tracing). So I need to execute all of recursive call A BEFORE recursive call B, but I get lost in the mix. Does anyone mind tracing it completely. The e.g. I have used of size, n = 9 where elems are all 1's to keep it simple.
/**
 * Sums an integer array using binary recursion.
 * @param arr, an integer array
 * @param i starting index
 * @param n size of the array
 * floor(x) is largest integer <= x
 * ceil(x) is smallest integer >= x
 */
public int binarySum(int arr[], int i, int n) {
    if (n == 1)
        return arr[i];
    return binarySum(arr, i, ceil(n/2)) + binarySum(arr,i + ceil(n/2), floor(n/2));
}

A: What I personally do is start with an array of size 2. There are two elements.
return binarySum(arr, i, ceil(n/2)) + binarySum(arr,i + ceil(n/2), floor(n/2)) will do nothing but split the array into 2 and add the two elements. - case 1
now, this trivial starting point will be the lowest level of the recursion for the higher cases.
now increase n = 4. the array is split into 2 : indices from 0-2 and 2-4.
now the 2 elements inside indices 0 to 2 are added in case 1 and so are the 2 elements added in indices 2-4.
Now these two results are added in this case.
Now we are able to make more sense of the recursion technique, some times understanding bottom up is easier as in this case!
Now to your question consider an array of 9 elements : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
n = 9 => ceil(9/2) = 5, floor(9/2) = 4
Now first call (top call) of binarySum(array, 0, 9)
now n = size is not 1
hence the recursive call....
return binarySum(array, 0, 5) + binarySum(array, 5, 4)
now the first binarySum(array, 0 ,5) operates on the first 5 elements of the array and the second binarySum(array,5,4) operates on the last 4 elements of the array
hence the array division can be seen like this: 1 2 3 4 5 | 6 7 8 9
The first function finds the sum of the elements: 1 2 3 4 5
and the second function finds the sum of the elements 6 7 8 9
and these two are added together and returned as the answer to the top call!
now how does this 1+2+3+4+5 and 6+7+8+9 work? we recurse again....
so the tracing will look like
                            1 2 3 4 5 | 6 7 8 9

             1 2 3 | 4 5                          6 7 | 8 9

     1 2 | 3              4 | 5            6 | 7            8 | 9

[1 | 2]___[3]___[4   5]___[6   7]___[8   9]
Till this we are fine..we are just calling the functions recursively.
But now, we hit the base case!
if (n == 1)
        return arr[i];
[1 +  2]____[3]____[4  +  5]____[6  +  7]____[8  +  9]
[3     +     3]   ____     [9]       ____[13     +         17]
      [6          +           9]                      [30]

                  [15                +                 30]

                                   [45]

which is the sum.
So for understanding see what is done to the major instance of the problem and you can be sure that the same thing is going to happen to the minor instance of the problem.

A: This example  explains binary sum with trace in java
the trace is based on index of array , where  0  - is yours starting index and 8 is length of the array

A: int sum(int* arr, int p, int k) {
    if (p == k)
        return arr[k];
    int s = (p + k) / 2;
    return sum(arr, p, s) + sum(arr, s + 1, k);
}

Airbnb Inc. announced a deal to acquire hotel-booking site Hotel Tonight Inc. Thursday for an undisclosed sum.
The planned transaction comes as the home-sharing company seeks to bolster its inventory and build out what it has called an end-to-end travel platform ahead of an eventual initial public offering, according to people familiar with the negotiations.
The Wall Street Journal reported in January that Airbnb and Hotel Tonight had held talks about a possible deal.
Acquiring the closely held site gives Airbnb a way to show investors more growth potential and demonstrate it can branch out beyond its core short-term, home-rental business ahead of a share listing.
While Airbnb has said an IPO could come this year or next, people familiar with the company's plans say a listing is more likely to come in 2020, as Airbnb integrates Hotel Tonight and continues to build out other travel verticals and look at potential acquisitions.
Hotel Tonight, founded in 2010 and based in San Francisco, culls unsold inventory from hotel chains and offers discounted rooms to travelers seeking last-minute deals, typically in urban business districts.
To test out the platform, over the past several weeks Airbnb Chief Executive Brian Chesky has spent most nights staying at properties, mostly in San Francisco, that he booked through Hotel Tonight, according to a person familiar with the matter. In a press release, the company said that as 400,000 companies now use Airbnb for business travel, its same-day bookings have doubled year over year.
Hotel Tonight was last valued at $463 million in March 2017, in a $131 million funding round. The site's customer base and revenue have been expanding rapidly since then, which makes it likely that the company was acquired for a price tag higher than its 2017 valuation.
San Francisco-based Airbnb already offers some hotel rooms on its site. It is a growing business, the company has said, but remains small compared with the core operation of offering private homes and apartments for short-term rental.

Industrious YouTube user Grant Thompson recently subjected the GoPro HERO5 Session and HERO5 Black cameras to a chilly torture test: dunks in liquid nitrogen. He first tested the experiment with an older Session camera, hoping to avoid the destruction of two perfectly good new cameras if death proved swift. However, the older Session held up surprisingly well, and so he put the two new cameras to the test, literally freezing them solid. See the results in the video above.


Released on Dec. 25, 2016, "Hidden Figures" is a biographical drama film directed by Theodore Melfi. The film, based on the non-fiction novel of the same title by Margot Lee Shetterly, follows the story of three African-American women who worked as mathematicians at NASA in the 1960s.
The lead role of Katherine Johnson (physicist and mathematician) is portrayed by Taraji P. Henson, while the supporting roles of Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson are played by Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monáe.
The film opens with a flashback sequence into the background story of Katherine's life. As a young girl, she appears to be light-years ahead of her peers academically, and excels into college at a very young age. Then, the film fast forwards to Katherine's adult life in Hampton, Virginia.
She and her co-workers, Dorothy and Mary, are stuck on the side of the road dealing with car troubles. Suddenly, a Caucasian police officer appears on the scene and automatically begins to question the women. The officer's tone insinuates both his racist and sexist attitude toward the women and is especially surprised to learn that they work at NASA.
The women experience horrendous challenges as a result of similar racist and sexist prejudices from the majority of their male, Caucasian co-workers throughout the entire film.
At NASA, the women originally work as "computers" in the Langley Research Center. They work in the West Area because the center is segregated. The film depicts a recent Russian satellite launch that was successful, and there is a tremendous amount of tension at NASA because of the stress of competing with Russia and sending Americans into space. Thus, Katherine's supervisor, Ms. Mitchell (Kirsten Dunst), directs her to a space task group led by Al Harrison (Kevin Costner).
She is the first African-American woman to be a part of the team, which is quite a big deal for the center.
Originally there to check over work done by engineers, Katherine soon becomes a force to be reckoned with because of her extreme intelligence. Sadly, she must deal with racist and sexist attitudes from the majority of her male co-workers, especially engineer Paul Stafford (Jim Parsons).
In a string of eye-opening scenes, Katherine is shown running to the West Area, a half mile away, to use the restroom. She must do this because there are no "colored" restrooms in the building she now works in.
One day, she is confronted by Harrison because she is gone for about 30 minutes. Publicly, he asks her where she was, and after his condescending questioning, she breaks down, screaming that she had to run all the way to the other side of the campus just to use the restroom. The scene is very powerful, especially due to the incredible performance by Henson. After this, Harrison realizes how awful this is and uses his authority to make change.
He makes the restrooms integrated, and because of Katherine's influential role, change for the whole center occurs.
Throughout the rest of the film, Katherine helps the task group and soon becomes a vital part of it. She ends up contributing to a huge part of the success of American astronaut John Glenn's launch into space. Along the way, the audience learns that she is also a mother and widow.
She meets an army officer, Jim Johnson (Mahershala Ali), whom she falls in love with and eventually marries. The film also follows Dorothy's and Mary's lives and the obstacles they face as a result of the racism and sexism that existed in the south during this time.
Overall, I felt this film was incredibly moving and eye-opening. I loved the revelation of these "hidden figures," and found myself itching to know more about these women and their astounding stories. It made me realize that there are probably so many hidden figures throughout history that might not be in the spotlight— many who deserve recognition. It gives me hope that some of their stories will come to the forefront.
"Hidden Figures" is nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Picture. The awards ceremony takes place on Sunday, Feb. 26.

Kymeta and OneWeb move ahead with satellite terminals
No Comments on Kymeta and OneWeb move ahead with satellite terminals
Engineers test Kymeta's u8 antenna system with OneWeb's satellite service in France. (OneWeb via YouTube)
Kymeta Corp., the antenna venture backed by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, has signed onto a joint development agreement with OneWeb to develop a flat-panel user terminal for OneWeb's global satellite internet network.
The plan calls for modifying Kymeta's u8 antenna system for fixed-terminal applications on land, with an eye toward supporting additional applications including mobile service in land-based and maritime settings.
Today's announcement comes just weeks after Redmond, Wash.-based Kymeta and OneWeb reported a successful test of Kymeta's u8 technology, which takes advantage of an exotic category of electronics known as metamaterials. The technology makes it possible to "steer" an antenna electronically rather than physically moving it.
OneWeb is one of several ventures that is creating satellite constellations in low Earth orbit, or LEO, to broaden access to broadband internet service. SpaceX's Starlink service is furthest along, but OneWeb is planning to begin limited service in the Arctic within the next few months. The plan calls for Kymeta's terminals to enter the market as an option by the third quarter of 2022.
