🇯🇵Fire hydrant signs with Starlink antennas tested for emergency Wi-Fi in disaster-prone Japan

Japan’s Fire Hydrant Sign Co., Ltd. has demonstrated an expansive Wi-Fi network that melds its established infrastructure of street signs with Starlink satellite broadband antennas. The big idea is that this network could provide important fallback connectivity in the event of a natural disaster knocking out fiber, mobile masts.

➡️ Japan sits on the intersection of multiple tectonic plates and is prone to earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions – as well as some extreme weather.

Each sign, a common item of street furniture in residential neighborhoods, can become a dual-purpose emergency water supply sign and ‘communication hub.’ Japan has 120,000 fire hydrant signs nationwide, with the trial taking place near Kanagawa province, near Tokyo.

🛢OPEC+ Ratifies Planned Oil Quota Hike as Gulf Flows Rebound

Major OPEC+ members agreed another modest increase to their collective oil-production quotas for next month, adding to the prospect of more supply eventually hitting the market if a US-Iran peace pact can stick.

Seven nations led by Saudi Arabia and Russia agreed at a video conference on Sunday to add 188,000 barrels a day to their output target, OPEC said in a statement on its website. It’s in keeping with the group’s plan to finish reversing output curbs made a few years ago, and means that since the war began, they’ve added 940,000 barrels a day to quotas — equivalent to almost 1% of global demand.

🧠 Australia Joins Brain-Computer Interface Race With Less-Invasive Brain Tech

The University of Melbourne startup Fluent develops a new device designed to transform how people with speech impairments communicate. Many people with motor neuron disease and multiple sclerosis gradually lose the ability to speak, making communication increasingly difficult.

Fluent is developing a different approach from many existing BCI systems. While invasive BCIs require brain surgery to implant electrodes inside the skull, Fluent’s device is designed to sit beneath the scalp but outside the skull, offering what the company hopes will be a safer and more accessible alternative.

The research suggests that signals captured by the device are comparable whether electrodes are placed beneath or outside the skull. If validated through further testing, this could represent a significant advance in BCI development, as invasive systems have historically captured higher-quality brain signals and outperformed non-invasive approaches.
