Spatial capacity is an indicator of "data intensity" in a transmission medium.
Among those leading research in spatial capacity are Jan Rabaey at the University of California, Berkeley.
Marc Weiser, former chief technologist of Xerox PARC, was another contributor to the field who commented on the importance of spatial capacity.
[2] The System spectral efficiency is the spatial capacity divided by the bandwidth in hertz of the available frequency band.
Engineers at Intel and elsewhere have reported the relative spatial capacities of various wireless technologies as follows:
