Scientists Take A Run At Wireless' Weak Spot

A team of scientists from Lucent Technologies' Bell Laboratories and Harvard
University claims to have discovered a way to boost the amount of data sent
over wireless networks. In today's issue of the journal Nature, the scientists
contend they were having a high-level, theoretical conversation about physics
when they realized that the increase in capacity can be found just by
rethinking the way information moves through the air. Specifically, the
scientists believe that what has to change is the type of antenna people use
to send and receive information. In the journal article, one industry expert
noted, "the knowledge that multiple antennas located at the same place can
increase data capacity sixfold will encourage engineers to be more aggressive
when designing new antennas for wireless applications."
