The SciTechDaily reports that a team of University of Waterloo researchers had developed a cheaper, more efficient method for Internet of Things (IoT) devices to receive high-speed wireless connectivity.
It’s clear that current networks will not be able to handle the growing influx of IoT devices. The team developed a different network called mmX to overcome the challenge. This was based on the Millimeter wave (mmWave), a network that offers multi-gigahertz of unlicensed bandwidth — more than 200 times that allocated to today’s WiFi and cellular networks, can be used to address the looming issue. In fact, 5G networks are going to be powered by mmWave technology.
