Facebook has announced OpenCellular open source wireless access platform, the company's latest technology to bring connectivity to remote areas of the world. OpenCellular is Facebook's latest project when it comes to providing mobile connectivity in remote places, following the solar-powered aircraft Aquila and high-bandwidth laser communications system. During testing, Facebook was able to send and receive SMS messages, make voice calls, and use basic data connectivity using 2G implementation. Facebook is also planning to work with Telecom Infra Project (TIP) members to build an active open source community around cellular access technology development and to select trial locations for further testing of the platform. Facebook is launching a new game, Your Profile, Your Home where users can build their own virtual home on Facebook and learn how to personalize their account based on their preferences. Through the game users can learn more about the settings of Facebook such as Privacy settings, Advertiser preferences, and security settings. Through Your Profile, Your Home, Facebook hopes that users will have an easy way to find out just how safe and secure their profiles are. Facebook Marketplace is introducing new AI features to simplify how people buy and sell items.
