  • Well, the BULL about light not passing through walls is garbage. What about the wiring, and EMR? ALSO, if you want that security, why not use HARDWIRE? I mean the method they speak about is ****MORE**** invasive than hardwire. WIFIs primary attractiveness, that has caused it tobe adopted WELL over 1000 times as fast is that it is FAR less invasive! My entire property, and 10s of yards past it, is WIFI! How hard was it? It was RIDICULOUSLY simple and CHEAP! HOTELS now have wifi all over! HOW HARD? SIMPLE, and CHEAP! PLANES! HOW HARD? S&C! BTW HOW LONG to setup a fairly simplenetwork? LESS than an HOUR! MESS? 1 simple wastebasket!

    OK, let's talk about the type here, and hardwire! Complexity? HARD and EXPENSIVE! It could take a month, and cost THOUSANDS! You ever see a state of the art retrofit network center? THEY can do it in DAYS! WHY? channels! Raised floors! DROPPED CEILINGS! STILL, you see a lot of organization, wires, and people climbing ladders and lying on floors.

    BTW WIFI could probably go faster ALSO! The goal is to make it cover a larger area. OH, and there is ALWAYS cross device interference. That is common with ALL networks. It can't grow with the devices, so devices must SHARE!

    • Claude went to the doctor the other day complaining of a hot spot on his butt.

      The doctor referred him to a Web MD.
  • I'm all for this if they can actually make it work. Our planet is screwed using wi-fi. It's not "safe" energy and I resent being dowsed in the radiation at every step. People bitch about "climate change" then they soak the planet in microwave for a little bit of convenience. Now that's just smart, huh?

    My Daily Flaneur. Expect to hear a whole lot more about Li-Fi - a wireless technology that transmits high-speed data using visible light communication (VLC) - in the coming months. With scientists achieving speeds of 224 gigabits per second in the lab using Li-Fi earlier this year, the potential for this technology to change everything about the way we use the Internet is huge. ...
