| The tiny cube that could cut your cell phone bill |
| 2011-03-21 |
| But a cube that fits in the palm of your hand could help solve that problem. It's called lightRadio, a Rubik's cube-sized device made by Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) that takes all of the components of a cell phone tower and compresses them down into a 2.3-inch block. Unlike today's cell towers and antennas, which are large, inefficient and expensive to maintain, lightRadio is tiny, capacious and power-sipping. With a combination of miniaturization and cloud technology, lightRadio just might be able to help wireless carriers keep pace with their customers. |

| #1 I think this is the system that uses frequencies adjacent to gps. With bleed over it can easily trash the upgrade of the US airspace based on gps tech. They SAY there won't be any interference but the testing has not been properly done as yet. The Company is spending big dollars already. |
