Towards infinite-capacity wireless networks, with twisted vortex radio waves
2014-09-18 18:35:44| Extremetech
Researchers at the University of Southern California, building on its previous work on infinity-capacity twisted vortex wireless networks, has now adapted its technology to work with radio waves. The previous laser-based technique was only workable over short distances, with minimal atmospheric interference. Twisted radio waves are more rugged and can be reliably transmitted over much larger distances, potentially allowing for wireless networks that can carry much more data than your existing WiFi router -- perhaps into the hundreds- or thousands-of-gigabits-per second range.
