to cover longer distances, WiFi antennas get a brain

Impatience boosts creativity. Some people could wait until at least the end of 2007 to get more powerful WiFi network. Some just can’t. And BATS (short for Broadband Antenna Tracking Solutions), a startup launched by Purdue University, starts testing auto-aiming antenna to extend the average range of a WiFi receiver.
The secret isn’t that secret. BATS technology rely on directional antennas, which Network World gives some details on the structure. Such system will focus radio signals into a narrow beam, to boost the connection over longer distances and less vulnerable to interference.
But as competitors like GigaBeam, the company has still to figure out how to propagate the signal over woods and big physical obstacles, and under the rain.
