If I had a dime...

]]> <![CDATA[1Gbps Streaming Achieved With Infrared Light]]> Wouldn't this be limited eventually by the maximum rate that the photodetector can detect the light?

I also assumed this when I heard about the lightpeak processors.

But does anyone know if this will happen?

]]> <![CDATA[1Gbps Streaming Achieved With Infrared Light]]> So three years until I can stream 2k video onto my Harmony remote? I'm willing to wait for that.

Brightmotor

]]> <![CDATA[1Gbps Streaming Achieved With Infrared Light]]> At that distance, just plug the damn thing in.

]]> <![CDATA[1Gbps Streaming Achieved With Infrared Light]]> Can it wireless transmit video/images? What I meaning in that is... what I'm or you are seeing with a desktop monitor/TV.

It be pretty sweet if we lose video cables. I recall there are wireless audio systems now so... it would be nice to have wireless video as well. I just don't know how good of a quality 1Gbps can give us or how it would be secured.

Then there is wireless power thing that it is in it infancy. I dream of a day when there are no power cords... which could mean the disappearance of 3 fully plugged power strips in my room.

]]> <![CDATA[1Gbps Streaming Achieved With Infrared Light]]> Ya, we're like, already doing that with fiber optics, and have been for over 20 years... It uses infrared lighting as well (sometimes infrared lasers).... Unless this is going to work with a wide beam and not a direct line of sight, it's pointless....

Kevin Hulett

]]> <![CDATA[1Gbps Streaming Achieved With Infrared Light]]> So, its using an infrared laser, I hope they understand that infrared lasers are increadibly dangerous because,
A. You cant See them.
B. Causes heat very easily.

Kerfudle: Your a Kerf!

]]> <![CDATA[1Gbps Streaming Achieved With Infrared Light]]> Hmm... So, question. If I replaced all the wires in my PC with (Shielded) tubes with these LEDs in them, would I have a faster PC?

Dezerus Richardson

]]> <![CDATA[1Gbps Streaming Achieved With Infrared Light]]> When the "fathers" of WiFi were just getting around, three techologies were competing for wireless network access. Radio using DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum), FHSS (Frequency hopping Spread Spectrum) and wideband IR.... In the end DSSS won and since IR was just too hampered by people moving around and any kind of walls in the house (or cube walls in offices).

In this case, they are kind-of cheating by using a laser to transmit. The power density is much higher than in a diffuse system (which is what you'd need to move around freely).

With radio-based systems hitting significantly higher speeds in similar lab environments, I have a hard time seeing the use of this.

my 2 cents

1 petabyte per second wireless internet soon...

]]> <![CDATA[1Gbps Streaming Achieved With Infrared Light]]> OK, I can't comment on the article itself so I have to ask, who else was duped by the bionic liver "article" and completely missed the fact it is an advertisement. Crafty, Giz, very crafty.

]]> <![CDATA[1Gbps Streaming Achieved With Infrared Light]]> I look forward to my universal remote/modem.

Darklighter

]]> <![CDATA[1Gbps Streaming Achieved With Infrared Light]]> IR might work well in a lab, or in a strictly controlled environment, but I doubt this could ever be used for a consumer level data distribution method.
Too many things can interfere with an IR transmission.
Also, so many ways to intercept an IR transmission.

Nope.
Another great proof of concept, but I doubt it will see more than limited, specialized applications.

]]> <![CDATA[1Gbps Streaming Achieved With Infrared Light]]> Google will acquire the tech along with that grad student and professors souls.

Pretty sweet news though. :)
