'Li-fi 100 times faster than wi-fi'

That's nice, but my 5-year-old 802.11n WAP still has ~20x the bandwidth you can buy for any amount of money at my house. Faster WiFi is not particularly interesting for consumers unless they're also getting faster ISPs.

Every couple of years I hear about this. Then it gets forgotten, and re-invented. Each time it never manifests into a real product. That reminds me, I think we're about due for another rehash of the "Voyager leaves the solar system" article, anyone? Or another segment on the local news where they say "Scientist find [wine|beer|cheese|coffee|nuts|fat|red meat] [good|bad|healthy] for you" article.

There was an IR physical layer defined for 802.11 last century, but it didn&#x27;t go anywhere. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dl.acm.org&#x2F;citation.cfm?id=2289301" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dl.acm.org&#x2F;citation.cfm?id=2289301</a>

To all the &quot;lab tech never actually arrives&quot; skeptics, it&#x27;s worth noting that 12 years ago this was a thing:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.nationalgeographic.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;2003&#x2F;03&#x2F;0318_030318_internet.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.nationalgeographic.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;2003&#x2F;03&#x2F;0318_030318_...</a><p>In my opinion, expect to see VR as the first consumer device to pick this up - it&#x27;s too bandwidth limited for today&#x27;s wireless and sorely wants not to be.

Since fiber optics work just dandy, clearly getting your source to switch on and off at the requisite rate is not the trick. But if you&#x27;re not shining down a fiber optic cable, you have the problem that intensity decreases as the square(?) of distance from the emitter; and that your multipath problems become a lot more pronounced.

How do you request the data to be transferred? This magical system is starting to get an awful lot more complicated.

1Gbps is not 100X faster than Wi-Fi, unless you&#x27;re talking about 802.11g under marginal conditions.

Great, but you can&#x27;t use it in the dark! Perhaps they could fix this with infrared?

Imagine if someone used ultrasonic sound in conjunction? Ultra fast networking and witless charging. Oh wait, that won&#x27;t work....
