Boston University News
Optical WLAN is fast, secure and green
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have demonstrated optical wireless transmission using a diffused light setup with speeds exceeding 1 Gb/s, opening the door for bandwidth-hungry applications such as high-resolution video to go wireless. And the optical implementation comes with the benefit of being intrinsically safe. Indoor optical wireless communication was proposed as early as 1979, when scientists at IBM Research in Zürich, Switzerland, developed the first prototype....
