A group of researchers from BYU that was led by a computer engineering professor has created a protocol that can significantly extend the distance a WiFi-enabled device can send and receive signals.

The 802.11ah WiFi (HaLow) standard is fairly new, having only been introduced in 2017. It’s supposed to fall somewhere between standard WiFi used in domiciles and offices and the longer range but ...

I knew there was a reason I kept all those Ethernet patch cables. Serioso, I guess it means banking, etc., must be done with wired connections, or maybe cellular. Last week I was feeling sheepish ...

Dr. Chris Hillman, Global AI Lead at Teradata, joins eSpeaks to explore why open data ecosystems are becoming essential for enterprise AI success. In this episode, he breaks down how openness — in ...

Engineers at NC State University have discovered a way of boosting the throughput of busy WiFi networks by up to 700%. Perhaps most importantly, the breakthrough is purely software-based, meaning it ...

The latest generation Wi-Fi protocol brings better speeds and data handling, but it does little to bridge various communications technologies. That, in turn, makes it more difficult and more expensive ...

The first wireless security network to mark its appearance was WEP or Wired Equivalent Privacy. It started off with 64-bit encryption (weak) and eventually went all ...

A group of researchers led by a BYU computer engineering professor has created a protocol that significantly extends the distance a Wi-Fi-enabled device can send and receive signals. The engineering ...

As we fill our homes with connected devices, we'll need WiFi to reach around every corner. One solution is hardware like Amazon's Eero routers and Google's Nest WiFi, physical devices that give your ...
