We often take for granted just how ubiquitous Wi-Fi has become over the past two decades, explains Northeastern University electrical and computer engineering professor Francesco Restuccia, who is also a member of the Institute for the Wireless Internet of Things.

Wi-Fi provides wireless connectivity to more than 20 billion devices around the globe, including smartphones, laptops, game consoles, and smart TVs. And for most people, Wi-Fi works so smoothly it almost feels magical.

“It’s one of the most pervasive technologies ever invented by mankind,” Restuccia says. “We seamlessly utilize Wi-Fi every day without even knowing we are...

Florida Atlantic Center for Connected Autonomy and Artificial Intelligence (CA-AI.fau.edu) researchers have “cracked the code” on interference when machines need to talk with each other—and people.

Electromagnetic waves make wireless connectivity possible but create a lot of unwanted chatter. Referred to as “electromagnetic interference,” this noisy byproduct of wireless communications poses formidable challenges in modern day dense IoT and AI robotic environments...
