Mobile technology innovator Qualcomm have unveiled a new concept in network convergence with the launch of the first truly ubiquitous digital network.

In order to provide the most expansive coverage possible, the convergence program has implanted tiny base stations into thousands of pigeons. “These birds thrive in diverse habitats, from dense cities to unpopulated regions,” says Peter Rauber, director of engineering. “They carry with them a dynamic network as they flock and migrate.” But the birds needed certain improvements to ensure goals were met and safeguarded. According to Rauber, this is where true convergence enters the equation.
