The Patria Aviation Oy company has created a patch of clothing that can communicate via satellite. This patch of clothing can do two-way voice and data as well as location via the Iridium and GPS frequencies respectively.
This new clothing could be the next step in communication mobility--say goodbye to your cell phone, and get yourself a 'Star Trek' uniform. We now have the communication devices from 'Star Trek,' all we need now are transporters. I think we will all be saying "Beam me up, Scotty," in the near future.
