The Shannon-Hartley theorem, otherwise known as Shannon’s Law, describes the maximum rate at which an amount of data can be transmitted within any given portion of spectrum. 4G technology is rapidly approaching the limits of Shannon’s Law meaning that it has reached the physical limit of wireless capacity of any given cell.
The term ‘carrier grade Wi-Fi’ is being thrown about the telecommunications industry quite a bit at the moment. Primarily, it is being touted as the answer to the potential spectrum deficit, as mobile service providers (MSPs) aim to move traffic away from their cellular networks to small cell infrastructure. However, to justify the capex of carrier
As the wireless industry moves towards ratified seamless Wi-Fi roaming, Marguerite Reardon of cnet.com looks at the new relationships that are likely to develop as a result. The most recent agreement signed between AT&T and Boingo has begun to pave the way for the new roaming partnerships that will come from seamless connectivity, says Reardon.
