BT Home Hub 3

Bures

ULTIMATE Member
I am always fascinated to watch BT`s latest advert for Home Hub 3 with wireless signals turning corners and going around bends.
Seems to even swerve around doors etc.
For the lay-person, it gives the impression this Hub would penetrate the far corners of
their property with no signal loss.
How on earth do BT get away with an advert like this.
 
Hmmm I think this one is difficult to argue because I can see what the advert was trying to do, yet at the same time it could make the technology seem more unimpeded by physical obstructions than it actually is. I've seen low-power wireless transmissions visualised using special fibres of some sort before and they actually formed a fluctuating and elongated cone around the transmitter that became locally distorted and weakened when an object was placed to obstruct it.

So you could say that a more accurate representation might be a bubble that radiates out from the router and into the rooms beyond, becoming distorted, weakened and sometimes even reflected by certain objects depending upon their compounds. I've seen a camera that claims to record real-time Wi-Fi waves and they looked much more difficult to visualise.

So I can see what BT were trying to do and it's a hard thing to get right.
