A New Type Of Li-Fi Reportedly Cracked 40 Gbps, 100 Times Faster Than the Best Wi-Fi
We’re so ready.
“If you’re frustrated with slow wi-fi, you might be one of the many people eagerly awaiting the commercialisation of li-fi (or light-based wi-fi), which promises to be up to 100 times faster than the connections we use today.
Most li-fi systems rely on transmitting data via LED bulbs, which means there are some limitations to how easily the technology could be applied to systems outside the lab. But researchers have come up with a new type of li-fi that uses infrared light instead, and it’s reportedly already cracked 40 gigabits per second (gbps) in early testing…”

Interesting! I hope to use one someday!
problem is this, how do you get the light to go through walls?
This is missing the point so badly it hurts. Wi-Fi isn’t the problem. The problem is your DSL uplink.
Stephen Angelico Oh yes, the scientists and engineers who are working on this technology have no clue what they are doing, they are “missing the point.”
Or maybe they know exactly what problem they are working on, and what technology they are working on, and you are missing the point. They are working making Wi-Fi faster, the company they work for probably does not even handle DSL uplinks.
If DSL is your problem maybe you should complain to your provider, and stop making pointless comments about a completely different technology.

Brett Sampson The article is missing the point. Li-Fi will not make Facebook faster. I’m not saying Li-Fi is pointless – super-fast wireless LAN is a good thing. I could use it, assuming I have a sufficient network backbone.
And my point about DSL was that while these technologies are great and probably should replace the older ones, it’s all about deployment. This has been and will be the case whether it’s about Wi-Fi/Li-Fi, DSL/fibre, IPv4/IPv6, etc. It’s not that I don’t like the technology, it’s that I don’t like the oversimplified way these articles market them.

Stephen Angelico What’s the meaning of DSL?
Digital Subscriber Line(DSL), it is a phone line that can pass digital data. Popular in rural areas in the US and large sections of Europe.

Li-Fi would be useless unless it was line of sight. It won’t pass through walls so normal customers wouldn’t want it.

James Foley I’ve seen IR tools like presentation remotes do pretty well without direct line of sight. Though you’re right, passing through walls is quite important.
But for 40Gbps, some businesses might be interested. I just hope proper encryption is put on any standard, or else we’ll have something akin to WEP all over again.
