| This is just UWB
This seems virtually identical to Ultra Wideband, which works by sending signals accross large swaths of the spectrum. The reason that UWB doesn't cause interference is because it sends over such a large part of the spectrum. Imagine looking at a puddle. Say it's windy and the puddle is covered in ripples. Then say a drop of water fell in. You wouldn't notice it because it would be lost in the ripples. However if a thousand tiny drops of water fell in the puddle, you could see the pattern.
Same idea with UWB. On a narrow frequency, an UWB signal is invisible because it's such low power. But when you look at many frequencies, that small signal becomes an obvious pattern; the same tiny change in all the frequencies is easy to pick out.
So, again, this guy's tech seems to be just UWB. |

| This guy (Joe Bobier)'s last "technological marvel invention" was using off the shelf bridgecom radios to deliver broadband to end users by placing APs on radio towers. It worked marginally, though the company (iDigi) went out of business. A child company (Wirefire) is still in business, though the equipment is very old and prone to failure.
I only post to this dead discussion since this "new" wireless technology was recently referenced in a Slashdot article. |
