The tiny cube that could cut your cell phone bill
But a cube that fits in the palm of your hand could help solve that problem.It's called lightRadio, a Rubik's cube-sized device made by Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) that takes all of the components of a cell phone tower and compresses them down into a 2.3-inch block. Unlike today's cell towers and antennas, which are large, inefficient and expensive to maintain, lightRadio is tiny, capacious and power-sipping. With a combination of miniaturization and cloud technology, lightRadio just might be able to help wireless carriers keep pace with their customers. Posted by: GolfBravoUSMC 2011-03-21 |
