Beacons and towers and base-stations and devices everywhere are sending and receiving and relaying signals to each other through the air via wireless radios.</p> <p>Over the years, wireless technology has marched forward. New use cases constantly demand higher bandwidth and lower latency and longer range and reduced power consumption. On the surface, these demands are contradictory: for instance, to get better range you can either crank up the power or shift to a lower frequency (increasing latency). The truth is that all of these factors need to be tuned to their physical environment, especially based on the materials and physical structures in the coverage range (such as concrete buildings, drywall interiors, moving vehicles, etc).</p> https://blog.wbarlow.me/posts/comments-and-feeds/ Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://blog.wbarlow.me/posts/comments-and-feeds/ <p>I&rsquo;ve added a commenting system, set up post tags, added a search tool, and the ability to receive new post notifications via RSS (filterable by tag).
