‘Li-Fi’ – A plan to turn every lightbulb into an ultra-fast alternative to Wi-Fi

Li-Fi doesn’t work in the dark or outdoors, but it only has to be a supplement to existing wireless networks to be valuable.

The more popular wireless networks become the slower they are. Fudan University researchers in Shanghai have just become the latest to demonstrate a technology that transmits data as light instead of radio waves, which gets around the congestion issue and could be ten times faster than traditional Wi-Fi.

A little algebra promises to boost bandwidth on wireless networks tenfold

The new technology is known as coded TCP.

Wireless bandwidth has been improved by academic researchers.  They didn’t do this by adding base stations, tapping more spectrum, or cranking up transmitter wattage, but by using algebra to eliminate the network-clogging task of resending dropped packets of data.
