The Future Of Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi That Charges Your Gadgets Is Closer Than You Think:
"It’s easy to take Wi-Fi for granted (as long as you have the password). But what if it did more than facilitate your Pinterest habit? What if instead of just connecting your devices to the Internet, it charged them as well, no wires required? That’s the promise of new research from a team at the University of Washington, which has developed what it’s calling a “power over Wi-Fi” system that can recharge batteries through the air, from up to 28 feet away."

Everything from one man, we take for granted, we forgot, and someone took credit for. TESLA.
Damn right, I always broke wired headsets, I would like to have a wireless recharging on bluetooth ones.

Omnidirectional Free Space Wireless Charging Developed, currently
with charging of 30 smartphones at the same time: "The simultaneous charging of multiple mobile devices at 0.5 meter away from the power source is now possible under the international electromagnetic field guidelines. Mobile devices, such as smartphones and laptops, have become indispensable portable items in modern life, but one big challenge remains to fully enjoying these devices: keeping their batteries charged. A group of researchers at KAIST has developed a wireless-power transfer (WPT) technology that allows mobile devices to be charged at any location and in any direction, even if the devices are away from the power source, just as Wi-Fi works for Internet connections. With this technology, so long as mobile users stay in a designated area where the charging is available, e.g., the Wi-Power zone, the device, without being tethered to a charger, will pick up power automatically, as needed."

First white laser paves way for better computer screens,
televisions and laser wifi 1000 times faster than wifi: "Another important application could be in the future of visible light communication in which the same room lighting systems could be used for both illumination and communication. The technology under development is called Li-Fi for light-based wireless communication, as opposed to the more prevailing Wi-Fi using radio waves. Li-Fi could be more than 10 times faster than current Wi-Fi, and white laser Li-Fi could be 10 to 100 times faster than LED based Li-Fi currently still under development."

The inventor of light-based ‘Li-Fi’ Internet has completed the
first working prototype: "Back in 2011, during a TED Talk in Scotland, professor Harald Haas introduced a revolutionary idea to the world: what if a wireless Internet system could run on nothing but an LED lightbulb? Back then, this “Li-Fi” concept was just a cool idea, but now, roughly four years later, professor Haas is back with a working prototype. If this invention catches on, all you’ll need is a lightbulb and a solar cell to get online in the not-so- distant future." See: https://beta.finance.yahoo.com/news/...224124733.html |

Velmenni targets 2018-2019 for commercial Li-fi LED
bulbs for Gbps to multi-Gbps communication: "Velmenni Jugnu smart LED bulbs can transfer data through visible light. Velmenni is implementing the Li-Fi technology in their new range of LED bulbs. It refers to the wireless communication system which uses light as a medium of transport instead of traditional radio frequencies. Although the use of light in order to transmit data can be limited in comparison to radio waves, there is a great amount of possibilities that can be developed with the proper use of this technology. BBC News reports that Estonian start-up Velmenni recently completed the first real world test of visible light spectrum-based Wi-Fi. Velmenni used a li-fi-enabled light bulb to transmit data at speeds of 1Gbps. Laboratory tests have shown theoretical speeds of up to 224Gbps. One of the big advantages of li-fi is the fact that, unlike wi-fi, it does not interfere with other radio signals, so could be utilised on aircraft and in other places where interference is an issue."

Passive Wi-Fi at 10,000 times lower power:
"Now, a team of University of Washington computer scientists and electrical engineers has demonstrated that it’s possible to generate Wi-Fi transmissions using 10,000 times less power than conventional methods. The new Passive Wi-Fi system also consumes 1,000 times less power than existing energy-efficient wireless communication platforms, such as Bluetooth Low Energy and Zigbee." "The technology has also been named one of the 10 breakthrough technologies of 2016 by MIT Technology Review." See: http://nextbigfuture.com/2016/02/pas...wer-power.html |
