With new wireless frequencies emerging what seems to be every week, it’s no surprise that wireless devices, especially WiFi, have to be replaced. Some scientists at Dublin’s CTVR (Center for Telecommunications ValueChain Research) hope to curb this adoption frenzy by developing a device that is a ‘software-defined’ radio. This means that the device will scan the area, convert it to a digital format, and then through software adopt the most suitable frequency. Lab tests have proved successful which means a move to real world testing.
