Next year, Nokia Networks will team up with Artemis Networks to test a new technology that will speed up wireless service.
According to Re/code, the wireless technology, called pCell, “combines radio signals to create tiny personal cells around individual devices, allowing users to access the wireless network in such a way that performance isn’t degraded.”
Re/code reports that if it’s proof-of-concept testing in network congested areas succeeds, pCell technology should “deliver 50 times the capacity of current 4G LTE networks using the same wireless spectrum and existing Apple and Android devices.”
“Rather than being slowed by interference as traditional networks are, the Artemis approach relies on congestion, using it to help deliver data to other devices,” Re/code added.
