Putting the Why? back into Wireless…
Are we about to see a war between the wireless standards? Or is it all too much effort..?
And if one wireless standard should accidentally fall… (Although in the Smart Energy world they’re at greater risk of being pushed.)
When deadly rivals get into bed with each other, there’s generally a rat around…
“I’m not dead yet!”. The Monty Python battle of the standards continues…
Last year saw consolidation in cellular chip suppliers. This year it’s the turn of the short range wireless industry.
At least one network operator is looking at miniature Wi-Fi access points linked with HomePlug networks as an alternative to Femtocells. It’s a much cheaper approach; do the Femtocell cheerleaders need to start worrying?
Creative Connectivity is Nick Hunn's blog on aspects and applications of wireless connectivity. Having worked with wireless for over twenty years I've seen the best and worst of it and despair at how little of its potential is exploited.
I hope that's about to change, as the demands of healthcare and transport apply pressure to use wireless more intelligently for consumer health devices and telematics. These are my views on the subject - please let me know yours.
