What can be more better than wireless power? Frankly, Nothing. This is the age of wicked fast transmission just through thin air. The recent breaking news is such that, Researchers from Siemens have broken their own record for wireless data transfer using white LED light, by hitting an enormous speed of about 500Mbps while working in collaboration with the Heinrich Hertz Institute in Berlin.
The record that stood earlier was "just" 200Mbps which was recently shattered by Siemens. But surely this is going to take the Visible light communication from a hopeful technology to a real contender in the future. These same researchers were also able to show that a system using up to five LEDs is capable of beaming out data over long distances at up to 100Mbps. We're told that the IEEE has been toiling tirelessly since 2007 to standardize activities in this field, and while a late 2010 completion date is currently being penciled in, we're not holding our breath. Anyone remember how long it took 802.11n to escape "draft?"
