OnLive creator Steve Perlman has a new project called pWave which is apparently designed to speed up your wireless, and the device claims that it will deliver full speed wireless service to your smartphone or tablet wherever you are.
The Artemis pWave is a miniature wireless antenna that creates a small ‘bubble’ of wireless connectivity around your device. It is designed to reduce wireless congestion in busy places, ensuring that you get a consistent and reliable connection. This is particularly useful in environments like crowded urban areas, stadiums, or large events where traditional wireless networks often struggle to maintain performance. Have a look at the videos below.
“pCell technology is a complete reinvention of wireless,” said Steve Perlman, Founder and CEO of Artemis Networks, “pCell delivers on the long-sought dream of ubiquitous, fast Internet, with the reliability and consistency previously only achievable through a wired connection. pCell is effectively mobile fiber.”
How pCell Technology Works
While the exact technical details of how pCell technology works have not been fully disclosed, the concept revolves around creating personalized cells, or “pCells,” for each user. Unlike traditional cellular networks that allocate a single cell to multiple users, pCell technology dynamically generates a unique cell for each device. This means that each user gets the full bandwidth of the cell, significantly improving speed and reducing latency.
The technology uses advanced signal processing to combine radio signals from multiple antennas, creating a constructive interference pattern that forms a pCell. This allows multiple pCells to coexist in the same physical space without interfering with each other, effectively multiplying the capacity of the wireless network.
Potential Applications and Benefits
The potential applications for pCell technology are vast. In addition to providing faster and more reliable internet for individual users, it could revolutionize the way we think about wireless connectivity in various sectors. For instance, in smart cities, pCell could support a multitude of connected devices, from traffic lights to public transportation systems, all requiring reliable and fast internet connections.
In the healthcare sector, pCell could enable real-time data transmission for telemedicine, remote monitoring, and even robotic surgeries. Educational institutions could benefit from seamless connectivity in large lecture halls and campuses, enhancing the learning experience with digital tools and resources.
Moreover, pCell technology could play a crucial role in the development of the Internet of Things (IoT). With the ability to handle a high density of devices, pCell could support the growing number of connected gadgets in homes and businesses, from smart thermostats to security systems.
There are no details as yet on exactly how this new pCell technology works, but the promise it holds is significant. You can find out more information over at Artemis at the link below.
