Brazilian Army Took A Big Step To Strengthen Security In The Amazon By Signing, This Month Of December, A Historic Agreement In The Field Of Telecommunications.

The Brazilian Army, through its Integrated Telecommunication Center, signed an essential agreement with the 3.5 GHz Band Administration Entity (EAF), a group formed by the winners of the 5G auction, to consolidate the possibility of maintaining the necessary infrastructures for strategic telecommunications in Northern Brazil, essential for the defense of the country in the Amazon.

The Command of the Brazilian Army, through the Army’s Integrated Telecommunication Center (CITEx) and the Department of Science and Technology (DCT), signed on December 1st a Cooperation Agreement with the civil society organization 3.5 GHz Band Administration Entity (EAF).

This agreement aims to unite efforts for the implementation and maintenance of strategic telecommunications infrastructures of national defense interest, as well as the provision of services that promote digital inclusion in the Amazon Region, in the context of the Integrated And Sustainable Amazon Program and the Connected Amazon Project.

With this new partnership with the Brazilian Army, the expectation is not only to increase command and control capacity in the area of the Amazon Military Command and the Northern Military Command but also to support public policies for sustainable digital inclusion, which are objectives of the Connected Amazon Project.

Present for the signing of the Cooperation Agreement in Telecommunications were Major General Eduardo Wolski, Head of Command, Control, and Information of the DCT, Brigadier General Jacy Barbosa Junior, Head of CITEx, Mr. Leandro Guerra, General Director of EAF, and Mr. Carlos Baigorri, President of Anatel.

It is worth noting that, in September, the Amazon Military Command (CMA) received an international delegation composed of representatives from telecommunications companies in Colombia, Peru, Portugal, Suriname, and French Guiana, as well as members from the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) and UNESCO.

The purpose of the visit was to present and inspect the Connected Amazon Program (PAC), an initiative that has generated internet access in nine remote locations in Amazonas, improving the quality of life of the population and boosting economic development and security in Western Amazon.

The PAC infrastructure involved the installation of over 1,200 km of optical cables in the region since 2015, significantly contributing to connect units of the Brazilian Army and other government agencies.

The PAC is a strategic project that consists of laying fiber optic cables along the beds of the Amazon rivers to establish high-speed data transmission channels. The project is dual-use, as previously mentioned, meaning that other government entities can partner with it to benefit rural populations in the region.

The joint effort of the Brazilian Army, Ministry of Communications and Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovations resulted in the creation of the PAC in 2015. In addition to providing connectivity to the population, the developed communication infrastructure enables other government agencies to implement public policies in previously underserved areas, offering services such as internet, telemedicine, distance learning, public safety, and more.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

End of bricklayers laying brick by brick: robot places more than 2,000 bricks per day, automatically applies cement, works with only one human operator next to the machine, and transforms traditional masonry into a high-speed semi-automated operation.

Philippines begin construction of the country’s largest desalination plant in a city without enough fresh water to grow, and the 66,500 m³ per day plant will transform the sea into drinking water for 50,000 homes in 24 months with reverse osmosis technology from SUEZ and JEMCO.

Scientists have discovered that the Earth recycles its own continents in the depths, dragging pieces of crust down during plate collisions and returning them later as magma, in a mechanism called relamination that has helped build the continents for billions of years.

Nissan sells “Kicks popular” cheaper than Kwid, Mobi, and C3 in Brazil; for about R$ 30,000 in conversion without taxes, Magnite looks like a compact SUV, with 16-inch wheels, 6 airbags starting from the Visia version, and represents an affordable Nissan that disappeared from Brazilian stores.

During the construction of a cargo terminal in the Northeast, workers stumbled upon the bones of a long-necked dinosaur about 20 meters long that lived 120 million years ago.

China has put millions of electric cars on the roads, but now faces the side effect: more than 1 million tons of batteries are expected to go out of use per year by 2030, while the government expands tracking and combats illegal dismantling with environmental risks.

A vanished ocean on Mars left a detectable mineral ring billions of years later, Chinese scientists claim: manganese deposits indicate stable water for up to 1.5 million years in Utopia Planitia, a region that may hold clues about environments favorable to ancient life.

Canada mobilizes a 1,600-ton crane to replace eight steam generators at a nuclear plant that supplies more than 30% of Ontario, produces cancer-fighting isotopes, and will have its lifespan extended by decades in a six-month operation.
