Light bulb WLAN hits 800Mbps

Who would have thought that one day, the average, ordinary light bulb could actually be used to transmit data instead of just lighting up the entire room. Yes, that's right, as German scientists over at the Heinrich Hertz Institute managed to take light bulb networking technology to a totally different level. White LEDs managed to hit a top speed of 500Mbps earlier this year, but over the past half year or so, researchers have not just sat idly in front of their computers doing nothing but munching on doughnuts and drinking coffee, basking in their past successes.

Ubergizmo, Light bulb WLAN hits 800Mbps
