ARTEMIS's pCell Technology

Technologist and serial entrepreneur Steve Perlman on Wednesday announced his new company, Artemis, and demoed its pCell technology.
pCell technology "consistently delivers full-speed mobile data to every mobile device concurrently, regardless of how many users are sharing the same spectrum at once," he claimed.
The theory is legitimate, but "you certainly do not have the whole network's capacity available to an unlimited number of users," said Philip Solis, a research director at ABI Research.
"The more users the network would try to communicate with simultaneously, the more complicated the signals would become," Solis continued.

How pCell Technology Works

Instead of trying to suppress interference, the pCell exploits it -- combining radio signals transmitted from multiple pCell base stations to, in effect, create a personalized wireless network around each mobile device. Think of it as a globe that accompanies the device. This gives each user the full capacity of the pCell.

When a user clicks on a streaming video website in a DIDO (Distributed Input-Output Technology, or DIDO) setup, the data is sent to the DIDO data center, which processes the video data into a radio signal waveform and sends it to the DIDO AP. The characteristics of the waveform are determined by algorithms on the back-end servers. That lets each PC making a request pick out its own video stream. The response uses the full bandwidth of the channel.

Uploaded data also gets the full channel bandwidth.

DIDO is cloud-based. The technology has been successfully tested at frequencies from 1 MHz to 1 GHz.
