Spray-On Wi-Fi Boosts Your Signal!!

Anthony Sutera, of military tech firm Chamtech, spoke recently at Google's "Solve for X" event where he introduced the company's spray-on coating that can not only boost phone reception but can turn just about anything into an antenna.
"Can you imagine" a "device being able to transmit from the depths of the oceans to outer space, effortlessly transmitting between themselves?" Sutera asked. "Think about a highway...you have a painted stripe and have broad band connectivity connected to your vehicle as you" drive "down the highway."
The aerosol spray coats an object's surface with thousands of nanocapacitors and spray-on particles that can turn a wall -- or even a tree -- into a transmitter.
"Within five minutes we had" the tree "connected and transmitting on VHF to an airplane 14 miles overhead -- double the range we could get from a standard antenna on the ground," Sutera said.
Sutera's team sprayed a third generation iPhone antenna with the material and boosted the signal by almost 10 percent.
"What we're talking about is a profound way of thinking -- a whole paradigm change on antenna technology," Sutera said. "What we'd like to think about" are "ways to enable wireless connectivity anywhere."
