It is important to take note that one should continue the good fight in any battle for the cause that you believe in right to the very end, as it shows off the character trait of perseverance. The thing is, some of us give up way too easily along the way, don’t you think so? Same can be said of modern day electronic mobile devices that we bring with us wherever we go. While they tend to add a whole lot of value to our lives, their battery capacity does not seem to be able to do their part in making sure that it can go through more than one day’s worth of vigorous activity. Digital Treasures has got your back with The Soldier, which will be a power product that has been specially designed to battle the elements, ensuring that despite being in extremely rough conditions, it will still keep you connected and juiced.

The Soldier happens to be a reliable and rugged 7800mAh charging station, where it has more than enough power reserves within on a full charge to ensure that your “thirsty” smartphone or tablet gets powered up whenever they run low on batteries, all the while being totally at home in rugged terrain against water and dust, as much as it would also function perfectly well at the home or office. Of course, The Soldier would be better suited for life in the outdoors, just like how birds should not be caged. This makes it an essential tool for the likes of hunters, fishermen, adventurers, campers, and hikers, among others.

Brian Austin, President of Digital Treasures, could not have put it any better when he mentioned, “This charging station is a survivor. There’s absolutely nothing like this out on the market because this product is two-fold: it’s a 7800mAh power bank, and it is virtually indestructible. We [Digital Treasures] put it through a series of rigorous tests (IP67 rating), and it has demonstrated extraordinary resilience in tough situations. With The Soldier, you can reconnect with nature while staying connected to the rest of the world.”

An exhausted astronaut searching for oxygen. A soldier bleeding to death crawling to complete his mission. A sailor sinking into the deep sea trying to reach the surface. That’s the perfect description of one of the most important, head spinning moments of every human being’s life. Watch this outstanding short film directed by Martin Rosete and you will understand why and what that moment is. More »

Just in case GPS and GLONASS didn’t make for enough of an acronym soup, BAE Systems wants to add one more to the navigation broth. NAVSOP (Navigation via Signals of Opportunity) uses some of the basic concepts we know from cell tower triangulation and WiFi location-finding to lock down a position, but goes much further to geolocate from nearly anything that pushes out a signal, such as nearby radios and TVs. It doesn’t even need to know what kind of signal it’s looking at, and it can get its position in places there’s no GPS to work from, whether it’s in an urban canyon or the natural kind. BAE is most excited about the prospects of ending GPS jamming against soldiers and UAVs, once and for all: not only is the new technology mostly impervious to attempts to block its signal, it can use the jamming attempt itself to get the position fix. Thankfully, the company’s roots in defense aren’t precluding use for civilians, so there’s a chance that future smartphones might never have to use guesswork to get their bearings — provided that governments around the world sign off on the idea, that is.

BAE Systems’ NAVSOP does positioning without GPS, makes sure the only jammin’ going on is yours originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 30 Jun 2012 10:29:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
