A Florida resident has been fined $48,000 for using an illegal jammer for up to two years during his daily commute. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) accuses Jason R. Humphreys of using a signal jamming device to intentionally block nearby wireless communications.

Researchers from a Scottish university are investigating whether the Q-band of the microwave part of the electromagnetic spectrum could be used for satellite communication systems. Unfortunately, these higher frequency waves are susceptible to breaking up during inclement weather.

In the past, telecommunications companies have built the infrastructure to support the Internet, but now edge providers (the businesses that provide online content and services) are taking a direct approach. Microsoft and Facebook just announced that they are partnering to build a giant cable that will be capable of moving 160 terabits per second.

German researchers have set a new world record for wireless data transmission. They achieved six gigabits per second, sending the entire contents of a DVD in less than ten seconds using radio waves.

Engineers at Drexel University developed an app that uses augmented reality to demonstrate antenna performance. The BeamViewer app visualizes electromagnetic signals and demonstrates the difference between a standard antenna and a smart reconfigurable antenna, which adjusts its signals to find the best path.
