Researchers at Stanford University have discovered a way to
create two way communication over the same radio frequency. This
is big news since it could lead to doubling Wi-Fi and mobile
phone network speeds. That’s something we can all appreciate.
The new research makes us completely rethink how wireless
networks can be designed. Unlike radio it has the ability to
receive and transmit at the same time, so it can mimic the way
humans screen out the sound of our own voices during a
conversation. It uses two transmitters in the hardware at both
ends of the conversation, with the two transmitters working in a
similar way to noise-cancelling headphones. A patent has been
applied for to commercialize it while they work on improving the
signal strength to make it more suitable for Wi-Fi networks.
