Flinders University, Australia, Adelaide has innovated the technology to use WiFi created their own network.
I choose this article because the mobile phones are necessary equipment that human use in daily life, and sometime it is very irritable when we need to use the mobile for emergency , and it is very inter
resting that Flinders University has come up with the new technology. In this story, it is talking about Flinders university has experimented the new WiFi technology. Consequently, the mobile phones are enable to use anywhere in the world where the reception is an issue. This new WiFi technology allows mobile to connect calls to another call without using cell tower , but using WiFi instead. Dr. Paul Gardner-Stephen , the leader of the group , has make a software for detecting other phones in its WiFi , and call them without needing support from an operator. Apparently , it seems to be a big challenge. As far as we know, that the greatest WiFi mobile phone can reach the signal only in a few hundreds feet especially it sounds tough when we think about dealing in an urban area. To be sort out this problem, the software will allow a mobile phone act as the cell tower which means a mobile phone can relay others phone calls. It is able to reach other mobiles in the same area as well as it increases WiFi radius become wider. The technology is very useful when there is concentration of mobile device in that area. Flinders University's giving example of as a disaster relief location such as Haiti. Obviously ,the disaster event that happened early this year effect how the telecoms couldn't be use during the emergency. It is important to have this kind of the emergency service in Haiti
for allowing services in the country to keep contact.
To sum up, some said the mobile phone operators will not be delighted to see some people created their owm mobile network that doesn't need to pay anything. I personally think that it is very good thing that I can use the mobile device without network operation in the urgen event. In addition, I dont have to pay extra service charge when I use this WiFi technology.
