Chinese scientists demonstrate 2Mbps internet connection over LED
May 18th
LED data transmission used to be all the rage — we fondly remember via IrDA. Then we got omni-directional and building-penetrating , and put all that caveman stuff behind us. But now, scientists the world over are line-of-sight networking, and the latest demonstation has Chinese researchers streaming video to a laptop with naught but ceiling-mounted blue LEDs. The Chinese Academy of Sciences claims to have realized a 2Mbit per second internet connection that transmits data simply by modulating the flicker of the little diodes, and imperceptibly enough to have them serve as room lighting as well. before them, the Chinese scholars see short-range LED networks controlling smart appliances as well. It’s not quite the gigabit speed you’d get from , but this way you’ll get more mileage out of those .
