uBeam's patent:

"Because decibels are a logarithmic scale, a decrease of
3dB is half the power. With the uBeam system, being just
one meter away from the transmitter will bring the power
down by half... It’s also absolutely insane. For something
that claims to be as easy as WiFi to install, look at the
differences: WiFi merely requires a single router to be
installed anywhere in the store. uBeam would require a
dozen transmitters, each of with include mechanical
steering for their transducers. uBeam would require
everyone to buy an ultrasonic power receiver for each
device."[0]

- mbrameld 10y agoIn no way am I saying uBeam is legit, but there was a time when you had to buy a wireless adapter for each device you wanted to use with your Wi-Fi access point.
