As a user, you will surely agree with me that, regardless of the speed you contract with your internet provider, it is never enough, we always need more. To try to remedy this problem, especially in public spaces, there are many teams of researchers, even from MIT, trying to achieve increase the communication speed of our teams as much as possible.
One of the systems most used by any user is the WiFi, precisely one of the systems that suffers the most from interference when having to pass through walls, objects and even other devices that use the same wave spectrum. On the other hand, the problems are much greater when, in addition, we make use of this technology in places where there are many routers or devices connected to the same WiFi network, such as shopping centers, libraries, airports ...
Just by using new software you can multiply the WiFi speed of public spaces by 10.
One of the most interesting solutions that have just been published in this regard comes to us from the MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where a group of researchers has managed to discover the way to multiply by ten the speed of WiFi in areas with many devices connected to the same network.
For this you just have to make use of a new algorithm named by its developers as MegaMIMO 2.0. This algorithm, according to its developers, ensures that different routers connected to the same network work better with each other, making, in turn, that the devices that connect to them through the same channel and wave spectrum are less vulnerable to interference.
During the tests carried out, at the moment in the Laboratory of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at MIT, it has been possible to multiply the speed of WiFi by 3.3 times when using MegaMIMO 2.0. As commented Ezzeldin Hussein Hamed, one of the project's lead researchers, making use of the combination of hardware and signals found in public spaces such as airports, the speed of WiFi could be multiplied by ten.
