A computer-implemented method for communicating with a cloud SIM software. The method includes activating, on a user equipment (UE), a communication module, and connecting with a cloud SIM software located on a remote server. The method also includes sending, from the UE, a request for content to the cloud SIM software, and receiving, by the UE, the content from the cloud SIM software to a local chip on the UE to facilitate communication between the UE and one or more other UEs.
A content selector switch selects, based on a received request for content from a particular remote control device, a multicast network on which to provide the requested particular content. Each multicast network channel of the plurality of multicast network channels is mapped to a respective video channel and each remote control device in the facility (e.g., hotel) is mapped to a respective video channel that the TV controlled by the remote control device stays tuned to. The content selector switch performs the selection by identifying which remote control device in the facility sent the request and selecting the multicast network channel that is mapped to the RF video channel the identified remote control device is mapped to. The content selector switch then provides the specific content on the selected multicast network channel to a multicast-to-channel output device that provides the content on the RF video channel for the TV tuned to that RF video channel to display.
A technique is described for implementing drones as a service. As an example, a drone may receive instructions from one or more network elements, coordinate operations with the one or more network elements, and perform at least one task associated with the instructions. The drone may deliver a container to a first location and perform object recognition to validate an object of a subscriber being delivered to a second location. The drone may measure the weight and dimensions of the object to confirm the object is within operating guidelines. After verifying the object is within operating guidelines, the drone may transport the container containing the object to the second location.

Using picture-in-picture window to play content when needed
According to principles of the disclosure, audio/video programs are dynamically and concurrently displayed to a user in a first window and a second window (“picture-in-picture display”) based on the user's identified demographic characteristics. At least one of the audio/video programs is previously transmitted and saved to a memory of a set-top box and is loaded for display on demand. By storing a plurality of content with relevance to the user locally, the system may rapidly respond to breaks in an audio/video program the user is watching by initiating picture-in-picture display. The audio/video programs displayed in the first window and second window may be advertisements or any other audio/video program suitable for display.
The present disclosure is directed to a mesh node to enhance a Wi-Fi connection throughput in an area with a weak coverage of an access point (AP). The mesh node provides an intermediate communication node that is moving to locations of the area which needs an improvement of the Wi-Fi connection throughput. A docking station is fixed in each location with a weak Wi-Fi connection throughput to provide a long-term energy source for the mesh node. Each docking station includes a power source to be coupled to the mesh node. The mesh node includes a transit power supply which provides a sufficient electrical energy during movements of the mesh node from a first location to a second location. Thus, the mesh node is capable of maintaining the Wi-Fi connection even during the movements between some locations.
