Alternate forms of wireless communication beyond radiowaves?

[EmeraldReporter]

I'm thinking that this spectrum crunch can be solved with a little bit of innovation.

 

Does anyone have any idea as to how frequencies, and the radiospectrum can be made obsolete?

[BenChase7]

Who are you, and where are you from?

He must be the great and powerful OZ.

Smoke signals.

I have several generations of wireless technology planned out for the future, all of which use spectrum.

Maybe you could create a wireless network that runs on the power of hopes and dreams instead of spectrum. The question is.. Do you believe?

[digiblur]

How about X-ray?

You should ask Snake Plissken...

The Dream Academy has the "Power to Believe"...

Infrared?  That is still electromagnetic spectrum, radio waves, or however anyone wants to put it.

Sound waves?

LASERS?  With sharks attached?

That reminds me of an old Nextel commercial where they revealed how they were able to do nationwide PTT by attaching antennas to deer antlers

Oops, I failed to add to my post, I was thinking of "quantum Internet"

I've forgotten what I was going to summerise all of this with.

 

I have a migraine.

 

What I wanted to get at is if "sub-space" communication is actually feasible. Warp drives are feasible.

 

So, are unjammable forms of communication possible, or not?

 

I mean, you gotta' love those Cylons right?

 

How is Resurrection possible without some form of communication that isn't capped at the speed of light?

I was totally gonna do this when I got home but you beat me to it, LOL!

Please don't bomb this thread guys.

 

I am looking for somewhat of an intellectual discussion. Not a donkey-fest.

Did you have something in mind as to what medium is providing the communication besides radiowaves?

Sounds like you're down for nerdiness. I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

 

Anyways,

The problem is, warp travel is inherently unsafe, and communication through it just as bad. As points within the warp often have little relation to their realspace points, messages between even local star systems can take weeks, while across an entire segmentum could take only a day or so - if you're lucky, of course. Additionally, signal fading is a serious concern, as without enough signal strength, a message will arrive distorted, or not at all. And when you're dealing with things that take at least an hour minimum (say, from a ship in orbit to a planet), you don't really have the luxury of error correction. I'd say, as long as you've got the ability to utilize Vox communications (standard radio waves), go for it.

Quantum Entanglement?

[EmeraldReporter]

But, what about quantum Internet?

Would you like to modulate the light rays Sir?
