Latest 802.11 Standard Boosts Wi-Fi Power in New Band

2008-06-25 14:01:44 by Glennf in Wi-Fi Networking News
 
...GHz band and parts of 5 GHz, the maximum power from the radio is 1 watt (W), and the effective power (EIRP) is 4 W on an omnidirectional antenna. (You can push far more power if you narrow the antenna's beam. And parts of the 5 GHz band restrict radio power below 1 W. I wrote a long rundown of 5 GHz issues back in Jan-2007 But there's this...

...gHZ of computing power. Sort of like this. I have a 3 gHz CPU and I want to reserve a maximum of 1 gHZ for VM 1, 2 and 3. Each of the 3 VM's could only peak to 1 gHZ. Furthermore one can set specific maximums, such that if VM 2 and VM 3 were idle, VM 1 could burst up to 3 gHZ and take advantage of those idle cycles The difference between this...

...GHz radio waves when in use; they don't leak the high-intensity signals that are reflected to agitate water molecules and heat food. But Wi-Fi uses such low signal strength to encode data that microwave ovens can be enough of an interferer to slow networks down. They won't cook you though, unless you crawl inside and close the door
