In order to answer the huge expected demand of cellular M2M coverage, the standardization organizations embarked on a process of standardizing narrow-band technology for use in mobile spectrum.
In GSM, a simple transmission of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) in the whole band is enough to efficiently interfere the signal since it is a narrow-band technology [6, 7].
3Gear has been working on a system and form factor that will work for consumers, and has narrowed the technology down into a tiny device that can be mounted on the front of your laptop or desktop and plugs into your USB port.
