This is a bit more info on this technology before watching the video below. And the crazy thing is that it is light-based:
And now, scientists have taken Li-Fi out of the lab for the first time, trialling it in offices and industrial environments in Tallinn, Estonia, reporting that they can achieve data transmission at 1 GB per second – that’s 100 times faster than current average Wi-Fi speeds.
The benefits of Li-Fi over Wi-Fi, other than potentially much faster speeds, is that because light cannot pass through walls, it makes it a whole lot more secure, and as Anthony Cuthbertson points out at IBTimes UK, this also means there’s less interference between devices.
We hope you like the video and will be posting updates as they come in about this new tech.
So do you think you will be getting a li-fi signal soon at Starbucks with your latte?

James Anthony Katsanos cool s**t
Excellent! Faster access to shopping, gossip, porn, and Facebook…
If Comcast controls it I wouldn’t expect much
Ford Farmer, you heard of this yet?

Hurrah. Now we can shop, watch porn, Facebook, and swap gossip and propaganda faster. And who says there’s no such thing as progress!
