#Trick That Doubles Wireless Data Capacity Stands Up in Cell Network Tests Major wireless carriers have begun testing a technology that can double the capacity of any wireless data connection.
have shown now that doubling is feasible in real cellular networks. The results suggest that products Kumu Networks has in the works for cellular operators could help expand the capacity of mobile data networks.
This summer, Kumu worked with major wireless carriers on the first tests of its technology in real cellular network conditions.
Earlier this month, Deutsche telekom, Germany largest telecom provider, installed a small LTE cell tower containing Kumu technology on a rooftop in Prague.
when one of the largest U s. carriershich Kumu declines to namearried out similar but smaller tests on its own LTE network in the area around Kumu office in Sunnyvale, California. e

confirming plans to launch its own wireless service, Project Fi. The service will leverage existing Wi-fi networks
and switch to carrier networks (T-Mobile and Sprint) only when Wi-fi isn available. This approach to mobile communications is
what some are calling Wi-fi First. It an approach several companies are already pursuing, including Republic and Freedompop,
and my own company, Scratch Wireless. And Cablevision recently launched Freewheel provides a Wi-fi only service.
Google announcement is a great thing for the wireless industry the Wi-fi First industry and ultimately, a great thing for consumers.
Right now, with a cost of $10-20/GB for data in the U s.,traditional cell service is expensive (upwards of $140 per month, per subscriber),
and according to a 2013 study by Validas, smartphone users typically waste $28 each month on unused data.
According to Cisco, about half (46 percent) of total mobile data traffic was offloaded through Wi-fi in 2014,
and with the Wi-fi rollouts that are happening now that number could reach 90 percent. At $10/GB
if 90 percent of traffic went over Wi-fi instead of cellular, it could save consumers $700 billion each year.
When implemented properly, a Wi-fi First model can relegate cellular networks to simply filling the gaps between hotspots.
A Wi-fi First model could save consumers literally trillions of dollars over the next decade if adopted in mass,
Google Project Fi could help accelerate the adoption of Wi-fi First through a couple of key moves.
The first is by requiring all Android devices to have Wi-fi First intelligence built in at the outset.
This would ensure that all phones use Wi-fi as the main communication method and only rely on cell service when absolutely necessary.
The second is Wi-fi connectivity. Wi-fi is nearly everywhere, but consumers don always take advantage of it in the capacity they could.
Google has the opportunity to speed up this adoption by creating standards and device requirements that would make Wi-fi connections more mainstream,
and a seamless, easy experience. So what does this mean for the big carriers? At the same time Google ushers in Wi-fi First to the masses, its wireless vision could fundamentally transform the role major carriers play in the market.
Let use Verizon as an example of a carrier that will be impacted. When you buy a phone through Google,
When Wi-fi isn available, your device will automatically select which network it should connect to based on availability,

#Why wireless charging is bigger than you think The idea of powering up mobile gadgets with no cords is tantalizing,
The idea of wireless charging is tantalizing--a vision of electronic devices that stay powered up without wall sockets,
however, is that wireless charging options today are still relatively expensive and support few of the real-world devices that consumers actually own.
Market research firm IHS predicts that almost 100 million devices that support wireless charging could be on the market by 2015
Some mobile phone manufacturers are even distinguishing certain high-end models with wireless charging options. A few examples include the Lumia smartphone from Nokia, the Nexus 4 from LG Electronics,
and the Droid DNA from Verizon Wireless and HTC. And in the future, wireless charging technology won't be limited just to powering more mobile devices.
The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) is the largest technology alliance in the wireless charging industry dedicated to advancing that vision

Toyota announced in December that the 2013 Toyota Avalon Limited will be the first car to offer wireless charging with a Qi-powered console included under the dashboard.
But an upcoming revision in the second quarter of 2013 will see Qi extended to support wireless charging up to a level of 15 watts, enough power to charge consumer tablets.
wireless charging will become an evermore common device feature for mobile gadgets, like Bluetooth, or embedded cameras.
some engineers are focused on the longer-term potential for wireless power. Inductive charging, which is used the technology in the Qi standard,
As wireless charging develops, the technology might even help reduce production costs for large appliances like kitchen refrigerators,

The battery-free Wi-fi devices can harvest enough energy to receive and decode Wi-fi signals in the conventional way.
But they can detect the presence of the individual units, or ackets, that make up a Wi-fi transmission.
To send data to the battery-free device a conventional Wi-fi device sends a specific burst of packets that lets the receiving device know it should listen for a transmission.
The data is then is encoded in a stream of further packets with gaps interspersed between them.
