A little over a month after launch, Amazon on Thursday announced its pair of prototype internet satellites were fully successfully in operations and testing. "We were able to validate everything and get all the data that we need," Project Kuiper Vice President of Technology Rajeev Badyal told CNBC. Project Kuiper is Amazon's plan to build a network of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit to provide high-speed internet access anywhere in the world. With the prototypes' testing in space now complete, Badyal said Amazon plans to begin building the first production Kuiper satellites in December and launch the first satellites for its network in the "latter part of the first half" of 2024. Badyal emphasized that Amazon wasn't sure what performance to expect from the prototype satellites, since "you don't know how well it's going to work in space."

☆ Japan's farmers are getting too old to work the land. 5G-powered smart tech is doing the heavy lifting for them.
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-30 | by ( Bella Sayegh | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +8 min

In remote locations, 5G-powered tech is helping farmers produce crops with the support of experts. Smart farming was introduced into Japanese agriculture in 2020 by NTT AgriTechnology in Chōfu City, Tokyo, for a three-year project. This helps farmers monitor crops for disease and create a harvesting timeline while navigating conditions that can change daily. The next steps for 5G farming involve broadening the scale of these projects so that farmers can monitor more fields at a time, Ahmed and Masakuza said. To do that, companies and local governments will need to continue investing in private, local 5G networks, they added.

However, the fall Prime event might have better prices for home goods. In fact, the best prices happened on days that were not key shopping event days. Regardless, the July Prime event offered a deeper discount to shoppers when compared to last year's October Prime sale and Super Saturday. The product did go on sale during last October's Prime member event and this past July's Prime sale, but the discounts were not as deep. Downloads of Amazon's shopping app have declined steadily during each subsequent Prime member shopping event since Amazon's Prime Days in July 2021, according to data intelligence platform Apptopia, which tracks mobile app usage for brands like Amazon.
