Did you know that 95% of the data to web travel through wires underwater? These fiber-optic, forward to more of the bible than the one salçiçe, connecting members being transported large amounts of data quickly and efficiently.
However, the vulnerability of their own is becoming a problem in the core. Every year, from 100 to 150. the cables are damaged, often by the anchor or fishing equipment. And the danger is not simply random: events such as these as well as many of the cables in the Baltic, in 2024, the suspected sabotim, highlight the importance of the alternatives to be safe and secure.
To address these threats, NATO launched a project HEIST (Hybrid Space/Submarine Architecture Ensuring Infosec of Telecommunications), which aims to establish a system for the hybrid, which combines the cables, and satellites submarine. By Nicolò Boschetti, a student doctor at the University of Cornell is involved in the project, this technology is essential in order to avoid the isolation of the region to be dependent on some of the cable, as well as Iceland.
While Starlink is SpaceX, is now an option on the internet, the satellite, the influence of one person, the only private, it has raised the question. HEIST, on the other hand, it has a choice to be self-sufficient and to be sure, to be carried out by an international team that includes a university as well as Cornell and the ETH Zurich as well as the partners in the government and in private.
The project focuses on the collection of existing technologies and to build an ecosystem of reliable,..., affecting also to Earth me a little bit. According to Greg Falco, an associate professor of engineering of the air space, the prototype could be ready for a couple of years, with the test to be scheduled by the year 2025.
