Project Uses Light to Transmit Data, Crushes WiFi Speeds - Network World
Discovered on 2010-01-25 10:46:58 · http://www.networkworld.com/news/2010/012210-proje A Siemens research project has recently broken the record for wirelessly transmitting data, by making use of white LEDs (light-emitting diodes) instead of radio waves. Siemens researchers here able to transmit data at 500Mbps, beating the previous record of 200Mbps, and completely obliterating current WiFi standards (though upcoming WiFi standards could push it into Gigabit territory).
