Other booster enhancements that have been proposed to the FCC include proximity detection to prevent cell tower signal overload and bi-directional signal amplification, which would improve signal transmissions from cellphones back to cell towers.

One such attempt to do so is based on the idea of embedding the Internet transmissions within the television signal itself.

Grob said that finding that capacity will require three different strategies: increasing the number of antennas in handsets and inside buildings, getting access to little-used and unused spectrum and improving the signal-to-noise ratio of transmissions.

The best part is, applying different levels of OAM twist to SAM-based transmissions theoretically allows an infinite number of streams per signal, meaning seriously increased bandwidth without the need for additional frequency.
