Dean Takahashi over at VentureBeat reports on a white paper released today by Steve Perlman & his Rearden Companies that claims to solve problems with wireless bandwidth: With conventional wireless technologies, the data rate for each user drops as more users share the same spectrum. Claude Shannon, who created Shannon's law, showed that was a necessary tradeoff: The more people using a spectrum, the more redundancy needs to be built into each individual's transmissions in order to avoid interference. But with DIDO, the date rate per user remains steady as more users are added. As a result, DIDO "profoundly increases the data capacity of the wireless spectrum, while increasing reliability and reducing the cost and complexity of wireless devices."Perlman's white paper can be accessed here
