AND working with the Aus government in Adelaide on the cubesat project........
You know what I think is VERY interesting about Nokia, aside from the fact that it's also working with NASA? It's that it is also heavily invested in railway solution that integrates edge computing.
It could be something, or it could be nothing...
Check out this digital brochure "Integrating IoT and analytics to support more efficient, safe and secure railways".
Integrating IoT and analytics to support more efficient, safe and secure railways.

Extract 1
"The Nokia rail solution joins two important technology shifts that intersect at the cloud edge. Wireless and wired networks are converging with 5G networks, which are software-defined, virtualized networks where much of the processing occurs at the network edge. At the same time, digital applications for railways, which harness IoT data and analytics, also need to process data at the cloud edge, because automation and autonomous operations are time-sensitive and need to be close to the local operation."
Extract 2
"loT sensors installed on trackside assets can detect vertical displacement and temperature changes. They can also monitor the motions of actuators on the trains and catenary tension swings. Anomalies captured by video analytics, rail-related occurrences and traffic events
are all additional data that enable more accurate prediction of maintenance cycles, reducing operations costs and maintenance-related delays, while increasing overall safety."
Extract 3
"Advances in cameras, data models, machine learning and edge-cloud computing platforms are making it possible to analyze live video
and provide actionable real-time data. Raw video or audio is analyzed against historic video data sets to detect anomalous behavior such as objects, people or cars on the tracks, track deformations or defects,and site line changes."
