* Allows remote locations out of reach as the desert. * New technology
provide an instant wireless network in a disaster situation such as those caused by earthquakes or hurricanes.
Australian researchers have invented a system that enables communication between mobile phones in remote areas out of range, as in the desert, ABC radio reported.
The next step is to increase the radio signal and improve the sound quality
The team from Flinders University in South Australia, traveled to the desert of the state to prove in a place about 100 kilometers from the first Mobile coverage point. "We were in watersheds and ravines, where a satellite phone had problems, because you can not see enough sky to access the satellite, "said project manager Paul Gardner-Stephen.
The new technology would provide an instant wireless network in a disaster situation, as in the earthquake of January 12 in Haiti , which caused an estimated 300,000 dead and 1.2 million displaced persons, and where the cellular phone connection took a week to recover, according to researchers.
Gardner-Stephen explained that the computer system can use the WiFi wireless communication technology phone to talk without a tower of repetition. The handset carries inside, addition to the WiFi system, a compact version repetition tower created with small transmitters.
between cell signal reaches the point a few hundred meters, but if more transmitters are added to the scope can grow significantly. Stephen Gardner said the next step is to increase the radio signal and improve the quality of sound.
