#Wi-fi Aware enables location-based apps without GPS, cell service A new Wi-fi technology will soon let smartphones
and other Wi-fi enabled devices easily find each other and communicate without a cellular or internet connection or GPS.
Wi-fi Aware is a way for devices and apps to scan their surroundings for other devices
and apps they might want to connect to and exchange small messages before making a more solid Wi-fi connection.
Some uses suggested in a promotional video including: Finding someone to play a game with on a subway train.
The new technology was announced this week by the Wifi Alliance, a collaboration of companies involved in making
or selling Wi-fi devices or components, including Apple, Microsoft, Sony, Intel and Samsung. Location-based services have been billed as a convenient way to target information to people, such as shoppers,
In Wi-fi Aware-certified devices, the service runs continuously in the background, looking for services
users who find what they're looking for can establish a more solid connection via Wi-fi,
or Wi-fi Direct, which allows some devices to connect directly without an internet connection. Regular Wi-fi has sometimes been blamed as a battery drain in smartphones
but the Wi-fi Alliance says Wi-fi Aware operates in a very power efficient way"through a unique process of discovery
and synchronization, establishing a common'heartbeat'".'"Works indoors, in crowds It's billed as working well even indoors somewhere GPS doesn't work very well,
Wi-fi Aware will also work in crowded places like concerts and protests without a cellular, Wi-fi or GPS connection.
Its range is similar to that of a regular Wi-fi connection several dozen metres. So far, the Wi-fi Aware technology has been incorporated into a wireless chips from Broadcom, Intel, Marvell and Realtek."
"Wi-fi Aware closes many of the gaps preventing other technologies from offering a rich experience where users can fully engage with the world around them,
"said Clint Brown, director of product marketing for Broadcom Corp.,in a statement. Existing technologies used for location-based services all have weaknesses.
GPS doesn't work well indoors, regular Wi-fi is not very power efficient, NFC has an extremely short range,
and Apple's ibeacon, based on Bluetooth Low energy (BLE) is designed to work only with Apple devices. ibeacon:
Kevin Robinson, director of product marketing for the Wi-fi Alliance, said another advantage of Wi-fi Aware over beacon technologies is they offer only one-way conversations."

or light-based wireless communication While lasers were invented in 1960 and are used commonly in many applications,
The technology under development is called Li-Fi for light-based wireless communication, as opposed to the more prevailing Wi-fi,
using radio waves. Li-Fi could be more than 10 times faster than current Wi-fi and white laser Li-Fi could be 10 to 100 times faster than LED based Li-Fi currently still under development. he concept of white lasers first seems counterintuitive

"With Wi-fi for communications, you only want to transmit when you have data to send, "Talla says."
"To get around this, the team designed software that broadcasts meaningless data across several Wi-fi channels
"The problem is that Wi-fi is never going to provide a very powerful signal. Wi-fi is regulated tightly in many countries the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), for example, limits the power of a Wi-fi broadcast to 1 watt.
An iphone charger delivers at least 5 watts and has no other demands on its output. One company with a solution is Ossia in Bellevue, Washington.
It has called a system Cota that gets around the FCC regulations by designing a wireless hub that transmits waves at a Wi-fi frequency

They found that the resulting voltages produced by the Wi-fi signals were never high enough to cross the operating threshold of around 300 millivolts.

"said lead researcher Edward Knightly.""That's a bitter irony because the demand for mobile data services is expected to grow tenfold in the next five years,
and computer engineering and director of the Rice Wireless Network Group, said the UHF spectrum, which ranges from 400 to 700 megahertz,
is called often the"beachfront property"of the wireless spectrum. Unlike the higher frequency signals used for existing Wi-fi hotspots,
UHF signals carry for miles and are blocked not by walls or trees. Because of these advantages, wireless data hotspots that use UHF are referred often to as"super Wi-fi."
"In the U s.,TV broadcasters have been given preferential access to the UHF spectrum for more than 50 years.

#Scratch Wireless Unveils New i-Fi Firstsmartphone for $99 Scratch Wireless is trying to make bills from wireless companies a relic of the past.

whenever smartphone users have access to a Wi-fi network. The device sells for $99 and can be bought from the Scratch Wireless website as of today.
Users won have to pay Scratch anything more for service as long as they use Wi-fi It the first time Scratch Wireless is opening up its service to the general public.
Scratch is betting that customers, especially those on tight budgets, will go for low-cost smartphones even if the devices are dependent on Wi-fi. Most of the time, that not a problem,
as users are in range of their home or office network. Plus, public Wi-fi hotspots are getting better,
cable companies including Comcast are offering subscribers access to their networks when theye away from home,
and Google is testing out Wi-fi-based mobile wireless services with its Project Fi. Wireless provider T-Mobile also is selling handsets that can make calls
and send texts over Wi-fi . But everyone is out of range sometimes, especially when commuting.
In an interview last year with Xconomy, Scratch cofounder and CEO Alan Berrey said the startup approach is disruptive, both from a technical (the shift to Wi-fi) and economic perspective.
Scratch also says Wi-fi call quality, multimedia messaging, and call handoffs across networks are improved. The phone is made by Coolpad,
Scratch Wireless has raised $5 million from investors including Commonangels and has the equivalent of 20 full-time employees.
