New Wireless Technology 'Whispers'
It is thought that the technology could be of interest to telcos or Internet operators with no radio spectrum because it can be used to start a wireless broadband service with very few base stations and add more stations and increase density as demand rises, said Reuters. XG Technology has introduced a new communications tool called xMax that "whispers" on busy radio channels and could reportedly enable broadband Internet services for wireless devices or connect homes that are not yet able to utilize fast Web access.
The new product is a very quiet radio system that makes use of radio channels already filled up with noisy pager or television signals, reported Reuters.
The new system is able to emit signals that are too weak to be picked up by normal antennas, but that can be "heard" by special aerials which know where to "listen."
