Future Bright For Mobile Broadband!

    The researchers at bells labs have recently made a breakthrough in a new technology which they call Light-Radio which was announced May 7th. Now some or most of you have probably already heard of this little device which in effect will rid bulky, ugly looking tele-communication mast from the sky-line and replace them with near invisible cubes.

    Depending on the area in which wireless service is demanded these cubes can start of small (1x Cube - 5watt)60mm by 60mm)Frequency Varies/ Multi-band 2G, 3G, LTE) and be stacked/connected on one another to increase power output e.g if you wanted 20watts of power you would need to stack 4 of these little devices together, each device can support its own frequency. Capacity is increased by 30% through a process called Beam-Forming therefore increasing QoS for the end user (You)

    So far some british manufacturers have taking an interest in this little device and have decided to give it a trial run to test its capability. if all runs smoothly and the device achieves its goel we can expect to see in the near future a better quality for service from mobile networks who promise fast speeds yet sell us 256k download.

    Hopefully this new technology is a success and mobile networks such as o2 ireland, Three, Meteor and vodafone adopt it and intergrate it into their networks which (Fingers Crossed) will improve the network immensely, increasing capacity & power allowing more juice to flow through these networks and finally giving us broadband speed which they've been promising for awhile now.

    Any new info on this tech greatly appreciated!
