Invention is an essential feature of business. The best inventions are created when you mix talented people playing to their strengths in an environment of open collaboration, working in partnership with clients and suppliers with a clear focus on commercial goals.
Exciting and varied work that makes a difference. A collaborative culture where you can take on complex technical challenges and deliver commercial impact. That's life at TTP.
When working with machine learning tools and algorithms, we often assume that only the machine is learning. Not so, argues Mark Hsieh. To achieve maximum value, we need to learn from the results generated by algorithms to better understand the problem we are trying to solve, for example in predicting disease progression in diabetes.
New LEO satellite networks promise high-speed broadband access for billions living beyond the reach of fibre and cellular networks. But the cost of User Terminals (UTs) for such satellite connections remains far beyond consumer budgets. Andrew Fell sketches how technical innovation, convergence in standards and network intelligence could pave the road to low-cost UTs for broadband from space.
Humanity has endured infectious disease epidemics for as long as it’s existed. However, as global connectivity grows so does the rate at which they can spread and the number of people they can affect. The origin of epidemics is the random genetic mutation of pathogens so we have no control over their arrival but technology offers very real control over the way they spread.
Smart antennas can radically improve IoT network performance - and they can do this with no changes to the population of wireless IoT devices. Only the IoT gateway terminals – usually relatively few in number – need the upgrade. But ultimately everyone reaps benefits – network operators from improved coverage, data capacity, network resilience and location services, and network users from lower cost and lower power IoT devices.
Cellular Highways, TTP plc’s most recent spin out, is developing a new generation of automated high-throughput cell sorting instruments for research, diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Powered by a new microfluidic cell sorter technology, our instruments will reduce the cost and complexity of cell sorting and achieve far higher throughput than existing platforms.
A survey conducted by STEM Learning last year revealed the costing of the skills shortage for the STEM sector in the UK. TTP is supporting Cambridge LaunchPad for the second year aiming to broaden the appeal of STEM subjects and careers. Read our blog to find out more.
TTP is returning to Satellite 2019 in Washington DC on 6 – 9 May, booth 110.
