  Electronic Engineering students distinguished for cooperative project with AFRL in USA

  Giancarlo Patiño and Luis Sánchez have started an important project in cooperation with the AFRL, which has as its primary objective the communication between devices of the same satellite.  Currently, this process is done through a series of input and output cables.  The idea of the project initiated by these two geniuses is to reduce data transmission and decoding to a single cable line.  It seeks to connect these pieces through a single line and build a virtual network to control this system.  Today, if a problem occurs in one device, no one can travel up to the satellite and fix it. So, with their proposal, they will be able to solve this problem remotely.
