I read about this in the Boston Globe<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s available for iOS\u00a0now and android soon.<\/p>\n

The Architecture of Radio is a data visualization, based on global open datasets of cell tower, Wi-Fi and satellite locations. Based on your GPS location the app shows a 360 degree visualization of signals around you. The dataset includes almost 7 million cell towers, 19 million Wi-Fi routers and hundreds of satellites. A site specific version of the app includes wired communication infrastructure embedded in the exhibition space. It’s aim is to provide a comprehensive window into the infosphere.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Thanks, Bill–you are one of several people who’ve told me about this app recently.\u00a0While there’s no practical use for this app as a radio enthusiast (it’s purely a data visualization, not a measurement instrument) in an elegant way, it does make one aware of all of the radio infrastructure around us. Thanks for sharing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
