That’s right. Pretty soon, computer users will soon have an potentially uninterrupted wireless connection thanks to the use of light emitting diodes (LEDS) as both lighting fixtures and wifi access points. The idea, funded by an $18.5m grant from the US National Science Foundation, is being studied by researchers of Boston University is essentially that because LEDs run so cool, and use so little...

Researchers at Boston University are working on the next generation of wireless communications technology based on visible light instead of radio waves. Cellular News reports the scientists aim to create "Smart Lighting" LEDs with built-in data communications capabilities. This technology would work by flickering light in patterns - so fast the change is imperceptible to the human eye. Boston University's...

IEEE 802.11n is a proposed amendment to the IEEE 802.11-2007 wireless networking standard to significantly improve network throughput over previous standards, such as 802.11b and 802.11g , with a significant increase in raw (PHY) data rate from 54 Mbit/s to a maximum of 600 Mbit/s. Most devices today support a PHY rate of 300 Mbit/s, with the use of 2 Spatial Streams at 40 MHz. Depending on the environment,...

Filed under: Networking If researchers at Boston University's College of Engineering have their way, light bulbs of the future may be the highway your data gets carried along. A team at the school is working on low-power LEDs which could utilize an optical communication system to carry data wirelessly. Using a technique which rapidly switches the LEDs on and off data transmissions could be made via...

My new netbook shows the same symptoms as my other laptop, not being able to connect to some WiFi hotspots. What happens is that I select a WiFi hotspot to connect to, it stays a long time on the "waiting to acquire network address" step, and finally gives me "limited or no connectivity" error message. All I know is that somehow my laptop doesn't get a valid IP address from the network, but I don't...

A year ago, I reported that I could receive a stunning 13 Wifi networks at my flat. Since then, the number has risen even further! When I checked this time, I was able to detect over 25 access points, not counting secondary SSIDs of some access points and those networks that could be received but not decoded correctly due to their weak signal strength. Channel 11 is a hot place with over 10 access...

Digital Foci were doing so well with their Image Moments 6 digital photo frame. The design is good - two-tone silver that neither looks too retro nor too modern - and the full-featured remote is handy; the screen - at 5.7-inch 640 x 480 VGA resolution - is just the right size and the file format compatibility broad. Then they went and spoilt it all by leaving out WiFi. There’s 450MB of internal storage,...
