New technology that gives better Wi-Fi
A team of researchers from MIT Computer Science and
Artificial Intelligence Lab have developed a technology that can double
the range of current Wi-Fi technologies and have throughput speeds three
times higher. The new development confirms that a novel Wi-Fi
technology has been tapped which can boast of three times the speeds as
compared to present wireless networks.
The
MegaMIMO, or Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output, fixes congestion, the
most important issue of conventional Wi-Fi spectrum. When a Wi-Fi access
point or router tries to broadcast, a nearby device with the same
frequency could create interference, causing data packet loss,
indirectly slowing down the entire wireless network of both the systems.
This is where MegaMIMO comes in, which is inspired by ideas from a
smartphone’s design. Modern cell phones use a type of MIMO technology
that uses incorporates multiple transreceivers, which sends data packets
to different sources. The researchers have taken this idea on a larger
scale. The Wi-Fi access point`s antennas simultaneously work with
various receivers, reducing network congestion. The video below
demonstrates how MegaMIMO works in real-time with present wireless
congestion conditions. MIT says that the new technology can work
alongside dozens of wireless routers and will be commercialised in the
near future.
