I imagine the widgets transmit and receive over multiple spectrums, bouncing the spectrum around as they do.

I wonder if technology now can tweak and coordinate the multiple existing radios (Wifi, bluetooth, GSM/CDMA/3G/4G etc) on phones and computers to deliver the same result.

Is that possible? Would that require changes in silicon or could it be done with baseband software changes or even above that? I have no idea frankly.

I seem to recall a strong opposition by the government to the development of consumer ultra-wideband radios. I wonder if this was part of the reason. Either way, it looks like some applications of UWB are available now, though, such as wireless HDMI.


That's really interesting - radio spectrum steganography. I would think that compromise of the software network stack would be enough for such an attack.
