A technology η οποία μπορεί να φέρει επανάσταση στον «κόσμο» των ασυρμάτων δικτύων, χάρη στη χρήση υπερυψηλών συχνοτήτων, αναμένεται να παρουσιάσει στο Mobile World Congress η Intel.
According to a report in the MIT Technology Review, the company has built a prototype antenna that can be placed on stations the size of a milk carton. The technology in question – "millimeter wave modular antenna array" – what it actually does is integrate possibilities υψηλών ταχυτήτων «πέμπτης γενεάς» (5G), όπως αυτές που επιδείχθηκαν πέρυσι από ερευνητές της Samsung και του New York University, σε μία μικρού μεγέθους συσκευή. Η κεντρική ιδέα είναι η κάλυψη των πόλεων με τέτοιες συσκευές- σταθμούς (μία ανά ένα με δύο οικοδομικά τετράγωνα) που θα έχουν τη δυνατότητα διαχείρισης μεγάλων όγκων data at short range. Any such station it will be able to send and receive data at speeds greater than one gigabit per second, within a radius of a few hundred meters, while the current standard, 4G LTE, "moves" around 75 megabits per second.
Intel and Samsung technologies are expected to use frequencies of 28 and 38 gigahertz or higher for portable device communications purposes. These frequencies, known as the "millimeter wave", can carry much more data than those used in today's mobile networks, but are easily blocked by interfering environmental objects, so they were impractical for use on portable devices.
To address this problem, processors make dynamic changes on signal transmission and sharing by controlling the direction to which the signal is sent from each antenna, making constant changes depending on the changing environmental conditions. "We can increase the number of antennas as we see fit to increase the transmission sensitivity and reception. Obstacles are regulatory, not technological, "says Ali Shandri, director of the relevant Intel IT department, at MIT Technology Review.
