Researchers at Dartmouth College have discovered that 3D-printed signal reflectors made out of foil and plastic \u201cdrastically improve the wireless signal around a home\u201d.<\/p>\n
According to\u00a0Engadget<\/strong><\/a>, the reflectors are based on the idea of using an\u00a0aluminium soda can behind a router to concentrate its signals in a specific direction.<\/p>\n The reflectors are made out of plastic and covered in\u00a0aluminium foil, with a unit\u2019s shape determined by data fed into the WiPrint system.<\/p>\n The custom program analyses the layout of a space and designs an optimal reflector in a 3D printer.<\/p>\n Excluding the price of the 3D printer, a reflector costs around $35 to make.<\/p>\n Researchers at Dartmouth College have discovered that 3D-printed signal reflectors made out of foil and plastic \u201cdrastically improve the wireless signal around a home\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":226,"featured_media":96059,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8812],"tags":[25361,25359,2145],"class_list":["post-122029","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-broadband","tag-boost-signal","tag-tinfoil","tag-wireless"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122029","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/226"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=122029"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122029\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122029"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=122029"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=122029"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Now read:\u00a0Vodacom\u2019s fixed LTE-A service will be the best in South Africa<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
