That's good for sensor nodes reporting status, but not so good for interactivity.
- mixedCase 10y agoAny source for it being unidirectional?
- PhasmaFelis 10y agoI don't think that's right, except in an extremely narrow technical sense. This specific technology they've developed is only for low-power transmission, because receiving wifi signals can already be done with little power. Device manufacturers can pair the new transmitter with any off-the-shelf wifi antenna for reception.
