Cell phone dummies
A poorly dressed plastic dummy with a liquid-filled cranium and cell phone strapped to his hand is much like millions of other mobile phone users across the country: He is trying to get better reception, reports the Associated Press. "Magnolia Broadband has been driving the life-sized dummy, "Bob," around New York and Kansas City, Kan., to determine how its new wireless technology called "antenna diversity"fares in different environments. The company is researching chipsets that incorporate a second, internal antenna into wireless phones. By combining two signals, users get stronger reception and faster data rates. "With two ears, you can hear better," said John Moon, Magnolia's senior vice president of corporate development. " |
