A satellite is any object that orbits something else, as, for example, the Earth orbits the sun. There are hundreds of satellites in operation, used for diverse purposes such as weather forecasting, television signal, amateur radio and internet communications, as well as the Global Positioning System. They are also used to look outward at the solar system for research and data gathering purposes. There are three types of communications satellite systems, categorized according to the type of orbit they follow: geostationary (GEO), medium Earth orbit (MEO) and low Earth orbit (LEO).

With a focus on modern life, Microsoft Holo Glasses will provide a totally new view of our smartphones, tablets and TVs, and be perfectly matched to the use of our digital devices.

Africa is on the move, and we're here to help. This continent of 1.2 billion people is hungry for services such as banking, insurance, health and e-commerce, many of which would have been previously inaccessible to large portions of the population before the arrival of the mobile phone. However, all of these services require reliable identification and secure authentication if they want the provision of such services to last. The introduction of mobile technology has led a transformation of economies across the continent.
