From sat nav to entertainment: technology serves communication needs


There is not doubt that the electronic entertainment industry has seen some of the most far reaching and interesting changes in the technological spectrum in these years. The LED TVs, blu-ray disc players, hi-fi music systems and many other instruments give you a real life and totally vibrant ambience live with excellent picture quality and top audio quality. The companies like Samsung have had a major influence in guiding the technological research to make the users more convenient while operating, managing and using these devices.

While most of the common users are enthused at these marvel creations, what they conveniently ignore while appreciating these modern devices is that the accompanying accessories have a major role to play in the delivery of the excellent output. What they do not realise is that it is not just the music player or the high definition TV from Samsung or the smart phone from HTC which is good in itself, but it is also the connecting cables, the remote control, the speakers and the headphones and the likewise which are equally important as well. Has it not been for these hi end accessories the desired output would have had limited effect or impact on the performance of the instrument. So, if you are appreciating the picture quality of the LED flat screen TV, it is also because of the connecting high definition multimedia interface (HMDI) TV cables which make it happen so.

This does not mean that if you are connecting a number of devices together, it would lead to a wired mess in the room. The HDMI TV cables reduce the need of multiple wiring, thereby preventing the occurrence of the clutter since one wire can run through multiple devises without affecting the performance of the devices. The TV channels can be beamed from the satellite directly to your home with the help of a receiving antenna which needs to be positioned at an adequate angle to the sky. The signals can come direct to the antenna and the same are then transmitted through the cables to the TV.

The technology obviates the need of a cable services provider. The beaming of the signals to the TV takes a cue from the GPS technology which is used to continually connect to the objects, moving or stationary, with the satellite to determine their position. In this case, it is not the sat nav which is desired but the continuous beaming the of the communication signals to the stationary antenna.

Sat nav itself is being increasing used in the modern day applications which require the determination of the locations. This is the being used to manage the fleets operations, the cars and even the human being. These can be fixed in the cars or the vehicles and can even come in the mobile handsets of the people. So, the same satellite can serve both the navigations and the communications needs of the people. The technology is there to enable the common man to reap the benefits of both of these.
