Solve for X: Anthony Sutera on low power wireless everywhere

Solve for X is a forum to encourage and amplify technology-based moonshot thinking and teamwork. http://www.wesolveforx.com G+: http://goo.gl/T3qQo

We like to imagine the creators of the future as geniuses who build their world changing products out of first principles. They know what it is and why it works before they begin building. But sometimes it doesn't happen that way. Sometimes great ideas are the product of discovery and tinkering. Anthony tells us about an accidental discovery that may change the world of wireless communications.

Anthony Sutera is an entrepreneur in communications, specializing in radio, satellite and wireless communications systems. He is currently the CEO of Chamtech Enterprises, a company holding several patents on its nano, spray-on antenna technology.

#5 even if they had special access all they could realistically do is measure the BER. There is no accurate way to translate that directly into an antenna performance metric.

Also notice they abbreviate milli-watts as Mw.

These guys are just belligerent idiots trying to weasel their way to some of Uncle Sam's sugar.

So much hand-waving is used and so much is unnecessarily obscured in the manner of “ignore the man behind the curtain” instead of conveying any salient principle. Most of all, the product to be sold is in a spray can from which any product can be magically made better. Everything points to a fraud much like those involving magic fuel efficiency pills.

Considering the health effects associated with current aerosol sprays on the market how safe is this stuff meant to be? Electromagnetic waves? Lungs? Skin absorption? Privacy, safety, security? Ecological repercussions?? Think, people. This is ridiculous, and IMO sounds a tad dangerous.Sure we have wifi but we dont kno long term effects from that yet, why go suffocating the environment & ourselves just for 10% better phone reception?! Stupid...

[Sandor Daroci]

cool, give that BS to govt to use it control you even more... and spy on your a** more.

This is complete bunk. I don't want to even get into explaining why. You should listen to their CTO's presentation (at ARRL I believe) which is comical.

allow your self to be empowered

look up diy wifi biquad antenna

[WAPTek2]

this was a confidence scam, it failed, & they took down these claims

& WHEN someone trys the same scam

they get sued into the ground some other

conspiracy theorists will say suppressed technology

& the cycle repeats

Unless you're talking about the "Rebecca Black"s of pop songs, I don't get you.

Certain frequencies are disruptive .

[Lexdude0]

You do realise light is electromagnetic, right? If you're not bothered by staring at the LCD screen you're typing from, you can live with a few antennas here and there.

I'd like to know A) the environmental effects, B) if this will be available to the public and C) what does the paint do to humans? I think it could do a bit of good especially where low-income schools/areas are concerned. There are miles of copper wire where my mother works, just so they can have internet in every classroom. Imagine if all they did was paint a strip on the wall? It could also be done in areas where there is no internet access like out in the country. Think of the possibilities!
