Chief scientist Antonio Forenza and Perlman released a white paper in 2011 that promoted what it called Distributed-Input-Distributed-Output technology.
[2] Following this release and an on-camera presentation, debate began about the legitimacy of the technology, due to its perceived violation of the noisy-channel coding theorem's “Shannon limit”.
[5] Artemis says pCell technology is able to work around physical barriers that apply to conventional wireless data transmission.
[6] The basis for the technology is software-defined radio which uses interference to create individual virtual cell sites for each wireless user.
Battery power may also be saved on the devices connected to the pCell technology compared to conventional 4G LTE.
