Spray on and use it as an Antenna

When it comes to the biggest event with the largest display of technology and cool electronics devices, CES comes first. This doesn’t mean that everything cool will be just at the CES alone. A lot of companies with great ideas and the potential to implement them in electronics devices are set up every year in a global scale. Google’s Solve for X event which was held recently, gave a great example for such a company.


The company named Chamtech Enterprises demonstrated something very reliable and useful at an event and the idea might sound okay, but its scope is huge. One thing people with cell phones commonly experience is the poor reception. It gets quite annoying especially when you are in a state of emergency and want to make some important calls. It is quite obvious that this is due to the flaws in the traditional antenna. Chamtech Enterprises made it big in the Google Solve for X event, with a great solution to this problem.

Chamtech’s solution is a spray-on antenna which they developed. Compared to the old version, the Chamtech spray-on antenna is              
  • More energy efficient
  • Lightweight
  • Portable
  • Very much efficient
The spray-on antenna is reported to be known by the name Sandy. This technology can be painted on walls, a ground or almost any solid surface so as to receive signals for various uses. When it comes to cell phones, the spray-on antenna technology can be easily applied on them, enabling the cell phones to operate at an efficiency which is computed to be about 10 percent better than that in cell phones using traditional antennas.

Chamtech claims that their spray-on technology can solve the following problems which are setbacks of traditional antennas:
  • The handset getting hot after long calls
  • Great battery drain
  • Poor reception under water
  • Takes more energy
Chamtech hasn’t disclosed any details about their technology except that it uses organic materials which after appropriate manipulation, create various kinds of radio-frequency and magnetic fields. The two year old company has apparently brought in a revolutionary technology which would even be helpful in underwater exploration to seamless reception during times of crises.
