Free Wi-Fi on trains and buses; this is how PressPlay TV makes it work

This February, the Indian Railways switched on video-on-demand services on two trains running between Delhi and cities in Rajasthan. It was a first for railways in India, where otherwise the most entertaining options are limited to a cheap paperback from Higgin Bothams Railway Minister or ‘timepass’ snacks. PressPlay TV, the company that enabled the service, hopes to have the service rolling on over 30 trains by year-end. In fact, the company already does this on many intercity buses and has 3,000 hotspots running across the country. Co-founder and COO George Abraham says there will be 10,000 of these in a few months from now. - 

In a chat with IndianExpress.com, Abraham explains that his technology is primarily the box, “double the height of a set-top-box”, which stores content locally and lets users connect using the PressPlay app to stream the content at superfast speeds. “Our goal is to bring the airline experience of in-flight entertainment to other modes of transport, but using the smartphone to create that personalised entertainment solution,” he adds. So how does the technology work? The box stores the content and also houses the router. The same box is used for busses and trains, but with the latter range as well as a number of concurrent users is increased. Still trains need one server per coach to ensure smooth performance, Abraham says, reminding us that the box is “completely made in India”. The content is refreshed once in 30 to 45 days and there are people on the ground who check on the device once in three or four days, explains Abraham. - See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/technology/social/pressplay-tv-free-wi-fi-content-on-trains-and-buses/#sthash.IivtnaPy.dpuf

12 Indian Air Force Aircraft Reach US To Take Part In 'Red Flag' Exercise
The air exercise, which will last till May 13, is seen as a complex and advanced network centric operation -- the toughest test for flying machines and men.
WASHINGTON: 

HIGHLIGHTS

  1. Aircraft, including the Russian origin Su30 MKI, arrived in Alaska
  2. Exercise of war games with NATO forces will begin April 28
  3. This is the second time that India is participating in such an excercise
 After flying through Bahrain, Egypt, France, Portugal and Canada, 12 Indian Air Force aircraft, including the Russian origin Su30 MKI, reached the United States to take part in the prestigious Red Flag air exercise.

The planes, which arrived in Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska, will take part in the exercise starting on April 28 and will undertake war games along with NATO forces.

Four each of Sukhois and deep penetration Jaguars, two C17 transport plans and two mid-air refuellers IL 78 travelled through Bahrain, Egypt, France, Portugal and Canada before finally reaching Alaska.

The air exercise, which will last till May 13, is seen as a complex and advanced network centric operation -- the toughest test for flying machines and men.

This is the second time that India is participating in such an exercise after 2008.

Due to high costs, the Indian Air Force had decided to take part in the exercise once every five years. It was scheduled to take part in the 2013 edition but the exercise was cancelled by the US following budget cuts.


According to an estimate, it will cost India over Rs. 100 crore. It will also see over 150 Indian Air Force personnel in action. "Crawl, walk and run" is the term used for the format of deployment for systematically increasing pace and scope of the exercise and combat maneuvers during 'Red Flag'.

The Red Flag would be the most complex aerial war game involving forces from India and the US that will also see Aerial Early Warning aircraft from NATO forces in action. Once again, India has refrained from taking its Aerial early warning aircraft for the overseas exercise.
