The super - geniuses over at the Fraunhofer institute have dream up a manner of turning a ceiling full of twinkle LEDs into an 800mbps wireless connection that requires only “ a few additional component part ” worth of modification .
As ISPreview separate it , the technology could be used in areas — like airplanes or hospitals — where wireless signals are lower upon . And Fraunhofer ’s Anagnostis Paraskevopoulos excuse the appendage , which included the simultaneous transfer of four HD videos to four laptops , as such :
“ The fundamentals of seeable light communication ( VLC ) were developed together with the diligence partners Siemens and France Telecom Orange Labs , ” said the expert . At HHI , the squad of project manager Klaus - Dieter Langer is now further developing the new technology . “ For VLC the sources of lighting – in this casing , white-hot - illumination light-emitting diode – provide lighting for the room at the same time they transfer information . With the aid of a particular component , the modulator , we turn the LED off and on in very speedy succession and channel the data as ones and zeros . The modulation of the twinkle is unperceivable to the human eye . A simple photo semiconductor diode on the laptop computer acts as a receiver . As Klaus - Dieter Langer explain , “ The diode catch the light , electronics decipher the entropy and translate it into electric impetus , meaning the language of the computer . ”

But the obvious problem here is that the light-emitting diode source and its receiver needs to have a lineal line of website to officiate within its 10 metre wheel spoke . Walls need not apply . [ FraunhoferviaISPreviewviaSlashdot ]
