Hundred times faster wifi infrared

eindhoven - Wireless internet never 'hidden' touch and effortlessly hundred times faster than the better wifi connections currently in use. According to researchers at the Eindhoven University of Technology is to realize the fingertips and also quite simple and affordable. They came up with a Wi-Fi network that transmits the signal via infrared rays.

Each device will have its own wavelength, and therefore the capacitance does not need to be shared with other devices. That saves a lot of aggravation, because the Internet is not slow by too much equipment with Internet in this way. Researcher Joanne Oh cum laude on the subject, the university announced Friday.

The system works via 'light antennae' for example, are attached to the ceiling and from there the light rays very accurately target devices. Before it is ready remains to be done for consumers to the technology that keeps track of where its devices. Also, more work is needed on the underlying central fiber network. That will take at least five years, expects professor broadband technology Ton Koonen of the TU / e.
