Architecture of Radio Status

ArchitectureofRadio is based on real world data and gives you a pretty good idea of the density of digital signals around you, but it won’t tell you where to move the couch to get a better WIFI signal.  It shows the cell towers, GPS satellites and Wi-Fi routers around you that allow us to live our digital lives. *Carboard support only for iPhone. iPhone 6s or newer recommended for best performance. Out of curiosity!  The Architecture of Radio is a data visualization, based on global open datasets of cell tower, Wi-Fi and satellite locations.  Every time we use our phones, tablets or laptops we are entering an invisible world of wireless digital signals.  The Architecture of Radio is a 360 degree data visualization of what this world might look like.  The dataset includes almost 7 million cell towers, 19 million Wi-Fi routers and hundreds of satellites.  Based on your GPS location ArchitectureofRadio shows a 360 degree visualization of signals around you.  The waves that we use for our cell phones and Wi-Fi are way outside the spectrum of visible light.  We can see the roads we use to travel, the buildings we live in, but not the infrastructure that is changing the world.  It’s purpose is to inspire, to see the world through a different lens.  We are increasingly dependent on a global ecosystem of digital signals.  The purpose of ArchitectureofRadio is to make the invisible visible so we can look at it, think about it and discuss it.  How can we understand this world without understanding how it works?  In order to “see” radio, it has to be interpreted or translated into an image that we can see.  It is a world that we cannot see but that is literally all around us.  We can’t see radio with our eyes.
