Wi-Fi

A new study from the University of Leicester has discovered a particular window of time when mobile signals and radio waves are ’super strength’ — allowing them to be clearer and travel greater distances, potentially interfering with other systems.
The research, examining the signal strength of radio waves travelling over the sea, identified late afternoons and […]

In January, Skyhook Wireless Inc. announced that Apple would use Skyhook’s Wi-Fi Positioning System (WPS) for its popular Map applications. The WPS database contains information on access points throughout the world. Skyhook itself provides most of the data in the database, with users contributing via direct entries to the database, and requests for localization. ETH […]

The rapid increase in the use of wireless communication devices in recent years has been accompanied by a significant amount of research into potential health effects from high exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy emitted by these devices. A new National Research Council report, requested by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, identifies research that could […]
