Internet Connectivity

 

One of Falkor’s most useful tools is internet access made possible by a satellite connection. High above Falkor’s decks is a VSAT system that enable internet at sea. The ship also has 15 Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN) for different use, so that each mission can have the appropriate amount of dedicated bandwidth for activities such as live-streaming ROV dives and ship to shore connections.

Google Earth

 

In February 2003, the CIA-funded venture-capital firm In-Q-Tel made a strategic investment in Keyhole, Inc., a pioneer of interactive 3-D earth visualization and creator of the groundbreaking rich-mapping EarthViewer 3D system.

 

CIA worked closely with other Intelligence Community organizations to tailor Keyhole’s systems to meet their needs. The finished product transformed the way intelligence officers interacted with geographic information and earth imagery. Users could now easily combine complicated sets of data and imagery into clear, realistic visual representations. Users could “fly” from space to street level seamlessly, while interactively exploring layers of information including roads, schools, businesses, and demographics.

 

The popularity of this technology eventually caught the attention of Google, which acquired Keyhole in 2004. You know this technology today as Google Earth.
