The problem of overloaded Wi-Fi linesin high-density contexts such as large offices or similar, is now quite widespread.
Wherever there are too many people connected to the network, in fact, the connection becomes slow and unstable. Some scientists, however, seem to have managed to find an ingenious solution to these unpleasant situations.
Almost all communications wireless, as it stands, it is based on processors sayings planar, or essentially two-dimensional. Their “flat” nature effectively makes them limited in terms of the number of frequencies they can handle.
In this sense, experts are working on a sort of Wi-Fi 3D, through chips in three dimensions. An introduction which, although it may seem simplistic, could lead to a real revolution in the sector.
The interesting thing was initiated by a professor of electrical and computer engineering involved in the aforementioned project, namely Roozbeh Tabrizian. The expert, with some colleagues fromUniversity of Floridais working to design the new processors.
3D Wi-Fi: a new way of thinking about processors
Tabrizian wanted to explain the situation by comparing Wi-Fi traffic to that of cars in a city context. A road infrastructure, if saturated with cars, inevitably comes to a standstill.
Returning to the 3D Wi-Fi issue, the new approach of processors built to handle different frequencies would have several concrete advantages. In this sense, the experts talking about increased performance and, at the same time, of one space reduction occupied by the chips. Planar chips can only get bigger by making them wider, while their three-dimensional counterpart can use this width to exponentially increase its power.
The use of this new technology and its evolution could make, overall, the faster Wi-Fi connections. In a context like today’s, characterized by case smart and by the progressive introduction ofArtificial intelligencethis innovation can avoid potential overloads of the lines, both in the working and domestic context.
