New Gas Plasma Antenna Technology Could Help Wi-Fi Security

May 5, 2004 | Source: Daily Wireless

Markland Technologies, Inc. has announced that its gas plasma technology can be used to create secure WiFi data transmission capability for business and military applications.

Gas plasma antenna technology would allow for highly directive and electronically steerable digital data transmission using low cost solid-state semiconductor-based plasma generators.

Because the gas plasma can be rapidly enabled and disabled in less then 1 microsecond, it can be repositioned to point in any required direction, scan at very high speed, or change its beamwidth and bandwidth, thus creating spatial and spectral security features not presently available with conventional WiFi antenna technology.
