The major challenge with mobile communication particularly in the emerging markets of Africa and the middle East is quality of service. In most of the emerging markets, like Nigeria, blessed with huge population and massive landmass, the cost of taking services to every nook and cranny is enormous. Meanwhile the connected areas are over crowded by technology savvy users and the networks fail to serve optimally. Poor signals and service disruptions become users headache, reducing the essence mobile innovation.
But if the new device called Aerosol spray would perform exactly the functions that informed its invention, the problem of weak signal strength in mobile devices would be history.
The Aerosol Spray is a new innovation from a technology firm, Chamtech. It allows mobile user to improve signal strength of their devices.
The ChamTech device is essentially designed as a spray. When it is sprayed on a mobile device, it covers the surface with thousands of nano-capacitors which align themselves on the surface, and create a wireless antenna for the devices located in the area. The nano-capacitors will locate wireless signals, making it easier for any phone or tablet within the range, to get connected and stay connected to a network.
The solution could also be sprayed on buildings and trees to boost the signal for a specific area, or could be sprayed directly on the antenna of a cell phone to boost the phone's signal by at least 10 percent.
The technology may replace some traditional telecom antennas thus eliminating the towers that dotted streets and corners, particularly in the emerging markets.
Tests of the technology shows it providing even better signal results than those traditional antennas.
