IBM’s researchers in China are in the works of creating our next-generation of wireless internet. Their research has shown that moving the signal-processing requirements from base stations into the clouds can potentially lead to wireless networks that are more efficient. Current wireless networks are slow, patchy and hard to upgrade on a good day at best. But IBM’s plan to move wireless stations to the clouds would make wireless networks faster but also easier to upgrade, not to mention a whole heck of a lot cheaper. This new network is called Wireless Network Cloud (WNC) and what exactly it will do is take radio based stations from the main networks (GSM, 3G) and detaches the antennas from the base stations allowing them to exist virtually, at distant locations; the overall purpose being to carry out signal processing completely by software.
