Radio map may tune in wave of innovation
30 June, 2009In one of the most detailed radiofrequency mapping projects ever carried out in Britain, one technology innovator is undertaking the first Britain-wide radio spectrum monitoring for Ofcom, the independent regulator and competition authority for British communications industries with responsibilities across TV, radio, telecoms and wireless services.
Averting spectrum saturation
26 May, 2009Mobile users want better video calls, streaming television and faster downloads, placing more demands on the limited radio spectrum available to operators. Could handsets that intelligently sense their radio environment and opportunistically grab free bandwidth be a solution?
Cognitive radio allows spectrum sharing
01 May, 2009In the event of a disaster, the emergency services have to be able to trust communication networks. But what happens if the network is overloaded or even off the air as a result of the disaster?
Spectrum licensing review
27 April, 2009The Australian Communications and Media Authority has released a discussion paper as part of a review of the technical frameworks that apply to spectrum licences.
Millimetric radio may speed data transfer
05 August, 2008Researchers have proved the viability of a new and as yet untapped radio frequency band which will increase the speed and capacity of data transfer to wireless devices like laptops and iPods, and potentially between a home DVD player and high-definition TV.
Tiny nanotube antennas may yield better signals
08 January, 2004In the future, mobile phone calls and television pictures could become a lot clearer thanks to tiny antennas thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair. At least that's the speculation of a University of Southern California researcher who has been investigating nanotube transistors.
