More Antennas, Faster Wireless
rouge86 writes "The New Scientist has a story on how researchers broke the network speed record using a wireless network and multiple antennas. They plan to use the demonstration to show how powerful multiple antennas can be. Applications include power saving on mobile phones and reducing interference."
...now I have to buy a new phone again.
How am I supposed to fit a pithy, relevant quote into 120 characters?
That's not a problem, considering the current 3G communications offerings, your wallet will be emptied before your battery.
Its not the size of your antenna, its the number you have??

I see nothing new in this principle - anyone knows that more aerials are better - in fact, if you increase the number of aerials so that their combined length (l) matches the exact distance between the sender and the receiver (ie: l = d), AND then you place each aerial in and end-to-end configuration so that electrons can flow in an unbroken path from transmitter to receiver then you have a very efficient data transmission medium - heck, the principle even works with optical fibre and photons too.

Yeah, ham radio operators have a saying that's old as the hills: If you want more signal, stick up more metal.
The world is my oyster. That's why it's always in a stew.
so now i need six more pringles cans for my end alone?
...I got nothing.
