Are we going to end up twisted???

We use 2.4GHz at the moment and the general rule has always been one use one frequency. The item below seems to say that we can get more on at the same time if we twist the signal. It's not April is it. Anybody know what could happen? Is it only for static links?

So, replace your antenna with a corkscrew and let us know how it goes ...

I suspect we'd have problems using this tech for RC due to the changing oreintation of the receiver relative to the transmitter, but it does look interesting in general.

I think I'm screwed up enough to do it myself at the tx, problem would be at the rx end. It could change the economics of wireless broadband though against fibre. Or perhaps they can do it with that as well.

I guess polarization could do the same trick there?
