What the world would look like if you could actually see WiFi signals

Came across this interesting article, an artist did some type of rendering of what Wifi signals would look like if we could actually see them.

 

I'd love to know what cellular signals would look like!

I think my favorite comment from the article was 'I'm sure you'd see a lot of porn'. Lol.

I've wondered if it was possible to have a system like a thermal infrared camera but instead the camera would be set for a RF range and then translate everything to a color output.

Hmm, that sounds a lot like -- wait for it -- a spectrum analyzer.

In the 2.4 ghz band of wifi, you will find that it also has bluetooth and that Ham Radio is the primary frequency users using up to 50 watts erp. 5 ghz band gets a little stranger.

Why would the signals only propagate horizontally? What strange pictures.

Directional antennas, like wave guides on a microwave setup.

    • Bloosurf is petitioning to deny T-Mobile's request for an STA specifically in their service area. https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp;ATTACHMENTS=Ghl9knTSFp8J4nVm1P9qL4541XR1gy58whH7Yyz0MwGs037gQrNV!-2042069078!-79842837?applType=search&fileKey=1297203795&attachmentKey=21718533&attachmentInd=applAttach Short read but pretty much they're saying that T-Mobile's operations in the BRS/EBS band has been interfering with Bloosurf's LTE-based WISP network and that this has caused them harm (lose customers, etc.) They claim that allowing T-Mobile access to all of the spectrum they bought in or near Bloosurf's service area would cause even more interference. To be fair they aren't wrong. They mention that in 2021 the FCC investigated and determined that T-Mobile was operating outside of its licensed spectrum band there.
    • Really cool blog post from OpenSignal giving a broad overview over the mobile network experience in NYC.  https://www.opensignal.com/2023/03/30/localized-analysis-reveals-huge-network-experience-gaps-between-mobile-users-in-the-us
    • Bit too early to tell imo. It's good news if Dish can stop the hemorrhaging. Q3/Q4 2022 they were able to stop the hemorrhaging. Their previous 6 quarters they lost between 160k and 350k subs each. Their next report will be interesting to see how they were impacted subscriber wise due to the hack.
    • I really wish this wasn't still so shrouded in mystery.  I see these phones available new on eBay (Boost locked, but again, I don't care) for $99, and would love to buy one of those and activate a Rainbow SIM on the $100/year plan, and I can't find a good answer on whether or not that is something that can be done, even if I drove down to Richmond to try to do it.  Don't really want to be out the $100 if they won't let me do it. - Trip
