In today’s digital age, technology plays an extremely important role in education. Students and teachers depend on smartphones and other mobile devices as necessary tools for communication, safety, and learning. Strong cellular connectivity is no longer a luxury for schools, it’s a necessity. However, poor indoor cell phone signal within campus premises can hinder the full potential of these devices. What causes poor cellular service in schools? Unfortunately, poor cellular signal within facilities is a very common issue that schools are currently facing. One myth to the cause of poor campus cell phone signal is due to “cell signal blockers” or “jammers” intentionally placed by school administrators in efforts to keep students off devices and focused on classwork. This is not only unethical but also… read more

Does your building have poor phone signal? If your building has bad phone service, you are not alone. Every day, many businesses, regardless of size or industry, experience poor indoor cellular coverage within their facilities. This can negatively impact a work environment as customers and staff can experience slow phone speeds, dropped calls, and the inability to contact 911 in the event of an emergency. A cellular enhancement solution, like Wytec’s, will fix this problem. What causes poor indoor connectivity? There are several factors that can contribute to poor in-building cell service such as… What is Cellular Enhancement? Cellular enhancement is a telecommunications solution used to boost or improve indoor phone signal. This is usually done through a Distributed Antenna System (DAS), which increases your… read more

Though the Digital Divide in America has always existed, it wasn’t until the unplanned nation-wide shutdown resulting from Covid-19,  that the issue was brought into the public eye. As nearly 131,000 K-12 schools across the U.S were forced to shutdown, 56 million students aged 3-18 had to make the transition of attending school online from their homes, assuming they have broadband access at home. Recent data by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), showed that more than 9 million students across the country did not have internet access at their homes. On top of this, nearly 11 million students also lack a digital learning device (laptops,tablet, home desktop, etc). That’s around 14-17% of children across the nation who’s quality of education is affected due… read more

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) has nearly had an impact on every industry as businesses and organizations are either having to momentarily shut down, rethink overall strategy, or move operations entirely remotely. The fact of the matter is everyone’s having to make some sort of adjustment one way or another, including the medical field. As there are nearly 570,000 cases worldwide and still surging, there is an immense pressure on health professionals to deliver first-rate medical care and ultimately save lives. Though it is always their intention to provide the best service possible, just like in anything else, there are always obstacles that may challenge the core objective. Which in this case is to defeat COVID-19 and get back on track with life. Lack.. A primary issue… read more

Forest smart cities are a concept that is being developed by Stefano Boeri Architetti (SBA), an urban architecture company based out of Milan, Italy. His plans combine sustainable energy, biodiversity, and smart city technology. Cities, which largely contribute towards climate change, can now play an essential role towards the journey of a climate-change-reversing solution by integrating urban-city infrastructure with forest vegetation. Temperatures continue to escalate by the day, causing high-temperature problems like the bushfires in Australia. This tragedy killed 34 people, 480 million animals, and destroyed nearly 3,000 homes. The fires are known to be a result of hot and dry conditions, which are directly impacted by climate change. An increase in the number of forests and trees with the use of a CO2 fertilizer will “drastically reduce pollution, energy consumption and… read more

  California’s own Palo Alto Health Care System recently just opened the first fully 5G-enabled hospital for Veteran Affairs (VA). With the launch of this hospital, veterans will now have access to the most recent cutting edge technology and be able to receive the most quality and up-to-date treatment as possible. Some ways that 5G is implemented in this hospital enhanced pre-surgical planning, three-dimensional CT/MRI scans, improved diagnosis, autonomous vehicles, and extending service to areas with low-access to quality health care. The possibilities are truly endless. Dr. Thomas Osborne, the head Director of the VA National Center for Collaborative Healthcare Innovation described the launch of the hospital as “perhaps the most exciting and dramatic time in medical history”. This model will hopefully soon-to-be one that all… read more
