Homework Friday

Today I was off from work, but I had to create my presentation on the Advances and Challenges of Wireless networks for my class and Santa Clara University, ELEN 443. To make things worse, I'm in the process of transferring the the DSL account from my name to my roommate, so basically we have no DSL till Febrary. Aargh! So now I'm in the SCU Engineering computer lab.

One interesting I've found in the process of researching my report is the development of Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) wireless transmission. The picture here is a Linksys MIMO router. With the added antennas and some extra processing algorithms, MIMO provides faster speeds and greater range than normal 802.11g routers, but it's still backwards compatible. Too bad it's still very expensive or I might try using it in my apartment.

While looking for pictures displaying the benefits of mobile wireless networks, I found some hilarious pictures. They are posted below. Any comments?
