"Smart" Radios


"Mobile-gadget makers are starting to take advantage of software-defined radio, a new technology allowing a single device to receive signals from multiple sources, including television stations and cell phone networks."

Good article on an "open source" approach to mobile communication here. It explains the pros and cons with a helpful chart. 

As we've explained in multiple previous posts, secure open architecture is a vital component to the Long Island 3.0 (and New York 3.0) concept. With great institutions like Stony Brook leading the way in wireless communications, Long Island is poised to be a world leader in this field.

Moreover Long Island is poised to be a world leader in demonstrating how this technology and compatible technologies can lead to a regional renaissance.
