Everyone seems to be complaining about the  iPhone 4 signal Reception issues, when held Incorrectly.  Holding iPhone 4 in left hand covering left side’s bottom bridges the left and bottom antennas which results in a serious attenuation in signal.

Obviously, the issue is not same for every one. Users living in areas having good signal coverage would not observe issues. Every phone, agnostic of brand/make, has antenna attenuation problems when covered with hand. These attenuations can lie anywhere between 14dB and 18dB drops. But iPhone 4’s attenuation is as high as 24db, which means total loss of signal in areas where .. Read Further »

Did you assume that WiMax was the future of wireless networks? Back in May09, we reported that a New MultiGigabit technology is coming to change it all. Leave behind those slow WiFi and WiMax that leave you in miserable mbps of speeds, leap frog to gigabits, thanks to Wireless Gigabit Alliance (WiGig).

Planning and building a Wide area Wireless Network could be painfully challenging.  Mobile service Providers have faced different kinds of challenges in Maintaining the 3G network throughout countries like US, UK, India, China where the urgency had taken flight long ago.

Lot of the back-end work deals with complex signalling and RF management which is both tedious and expensive to maintain. But seems like  IBM researchers in China have come up with a faster, yet, elegant solution that reckons shifting the signal-processing overhead from base stations into the cloud. This will make it cheaper and easier .. Read Further »

Very Often certain Internet applications prove out to be Bandwidth hungry and often choke the internet connection. As an aftermath, the other apps struggle to steal bandwidth.

There’s an app called NetBalancer that let’s you throttle your internet connection (and even LAN connections) by limiting per-application bandwidth. You can choose to assign priorities to each one of them (just like CPU priority) and avoid the sluggish throughput. .. Read Further »
