Kai Müller on Connecting the Unreachable with Starlink

Kai Müller is an Expedition Leader and Medic, and former paramedic with extensive experience in polar operations. Kai worked as a paramedic in Germany, going from the ambulance to helicopters, to medical repatriations across Europe. He then joined the army, where he worked as a Medevac Sergeant, completing tours in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Kai left war zones behind and became a polar guide and expedition medic. He identified a need to improve telemedicine, so did so within his work in telecoms as a polar guide. Some months back, Tim Belfall shared on his LinkedIn post about how Kai Müller presented on how using portable Starlink and Telemedicine enhances the capabilities of paramedics working in extreme climates and locations. The video of the presentation is embedded below: Related Posts : Connectivity Technology Blog: Why Starlink is Already a Gamechanger Connectivity Technology Blog: KDDI Prepares for Disasters with Vehicle-Mounted Base Stations Backhauled via Starlink Connectivi

Wi-Fi Support in Apple Devices

Wi-Fi has consistently been a popular topic on this blog so it prompted me to write about Wi-Fi support in Apple iPhone and other devices. The following 802.11 technologies are supported by different Apple devices. Not all devices support all technologies and the same device may support different technologies in different regions. The following is 802.11 compatibility and frequency band:  802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E),  802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5),  802.11n (Wi-Fi 4),  802.11a,  802.11b/g  2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. Apple platforms supporting Wi-Fi 6E can join Wi-Fi 6E networks that are discoverable on 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz channels, and on 6 GHz Preferred Scanning Channels, where 6 GHz is allowed by regulatory domain. Wi‑Fi 6E isn’t available in mainland China. In addition, various roaming optimisation support technologies are implemented to improve roaming performance and device battery life with features such as: Radio Measurement (802.11k): To deliver the list of neighbouring access points.
