Have you ever experienced a difficult situation to call while in the middle of the crowded football stadium? Telecommunications signals seem reluctant to ’stop’ to the phone even if you just want to send SMS.
To overcome this, the University of Glasgow, Scotland in collaboration with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), creating a new application called ‘Adhoc networking’. These applications will make you free to communicate with friends while on a weak signal, such as football stadiums.
New innovations Ad hoc networking allows you to share your comments by chat. Even the application is also capable of making you share pictures and videos every moment of the game, just by using bluetooth without having to spend pulses.
Another bid ‘ad hoc network’, you can make phone calls to seven other mobile phone users by using Bluetooth only.
“Conversation and joking with friends in a crowded stadium no longer a problem, no longer,” said the head of application development projects, Dr Matthew Chalmers
