I think there is a wirelrss revolution around the corner being held up by patents, closed chipsets, and closed firmwares.
Look at what was necessary in this papet, thr IoT device pretends to be an access point to bypass all the layers in the stack that would filter out thr packet.
In this case they found a hack to workaround chipset/firmware limitations, but what other innovations havent happened due to inaccesible wireless physical layers?
- qbasic_forever 6y agoCheck our SDR, you can have access to anything in the physical layer with ease these days. Like here's a fancy SDR system running as a wifi AP: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/bladerf-wiphy-open-source-wifi-access-point-on-a-bladerf/ https://www.rtl-sdr.com/bladerf-wiphy-open-source-wifi-acces... You'll need a proper FCC license to do much transmitting of anything on non-standard frequencies though.
- pitaj 6y agoI can't tell if "thr" is a typo of "the" or an abbreviation of "their".
- admax88q 6y agolol typo of "the." I hate typing on mobile.

- ThePowerOfFuet 6y agoThis seems like the perfect type of error which is caught by autocorrect. Do you have it enabled?
- canadianfella 6y agoFirmware is plural.
