A Wireless Revolution Awaits

Posted April 27, 2014 12:01 PM by Engineering360 eNewsletter

A pioneer in cell technology, this company could be on the precipice of releasing the next big thing in Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity. As this article and embedded videos explain, pCell technology promises high-speed mobile connectivity for all - no more congestion due to limited radio spectrum. The secret to pCell is its pWave router, which is a server that resides in the cloud. pWave allows multiple users in a location to receive data from a website they want to access without encountering slow connections. The industry is anxiously awaiting to see how pCell will ultimately make its mark.

pls correct me if im wrong, but the server is not the current bottleneck, bandwidth is. if your connection from cell phone to uplink, or uplink to server is swamped with high utilization, no server in the clouds can help. what dont i understand here? how does a server in the cloud fix bandwidth limitations, unless additional new bandwidth is added?

pCell appears to completely dismantle the idea of a "wireless spectrum crunch," allowing each mobile device to receive full wireless bandwidth from congested base stations

The stated technology removes base station congestion. I figure you are too smart to go for the worm on the hook. Most decision makers are just successful salemen with little tech savvy.

Being security minded, I figure this is just another security nightmare. There are so many new security issues this is probably like spitting into the security hazard ocean.

This is where I quit reading: "DIDO server creates special signals that can be transmitted at the same time"...

So they circumvent bandwidth issues with special signals?????

Looking at ISO network layering specs it just sounds like they've shoved the requirement to filter data to a higher layer, ie;

Everybody gets everything, each has to figure out what belongs to him. Don't discriminate the data at the hardware layer.

I'm not confused. No, not at all.

Sounds like unicast or multicasting to me. With all the inherent security flaws.

Anything that has to do with the "cloud" i stay away from.
