With worldwide data demand outpacing the frequency, bandwidth and power capabilities of our current communications infrastructure, Felix Ejeckam and Ty Mitchell, both experts in gallium nitride -on-Diamond technology have joined forces to create Akash Systems, Inc. , a company committed to revolutionizing the future of fast, affordable satellite communications. Through the application of GaN-on-Diamond materials, Akash’s technologies can resolve issues critical to the expansive growth of data use and consumption, enabling smaller, lighter and higher performing satellites that lead to lower launch costs, reduced cost-per-bit, more launch cycles, and increased communications access and throughput.

Our early show features music spanning the late 60s through the 80s, courtesy of two greats who had birthdays yesterday!
