While the whole world is harping about “the age of 5G,” problems of adequate signal strength within homes and offices is still at large. To solve that, researchers from the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), MIT, have developed a software-controlled “smart surface” that can boose signal strength up to 10 times. The surface, named RFocus, is quite cost-effective and contains 3,000 antennas that can boose channel strength within office walls by a factor of two. This is helpful when multiple devices are trying to access the same network on the premises. Lead author of the research paper, Venkat Arun, said…
