Mobile & Wireless Roundup #20
Welcome to the 20th edition of this newsletter. Yesterday, SMS turned 30 and it’s still going strong. Vodafone UK has a nice little feature on their website on this topic here . Ben Wood has written an article about this on The Mobile Phone Museum Blog here . Omdia has an infographic here but you will have to provide your details. The reason SMS is still so popular can be understood from the XKCD comic below.

The picture shows all of the 40 satellites in the dispenser as shared on Twitter here . They will now be encapsulated to the fairing as shown in an earlier Tweet here . Encapsulation is when the payload — a satellite, piece of scientific instrument or other item to be launched into space — is surrounded by the “fairing” — a smooth, protective cover placed around the payload which protects it while reducing atmospheric drag on the rocket as it is launched into space.
