Tiny LiFi LED Lights Set to Deliver WiFi Style Internet Communications

31st January, 2013 (7 Comments)

Researchers from the University of Strathclyde in Scotland (UK) have begun to develop a new Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) technology that could turn ordinary LED (Light-Emitting Diode) based home and office lighting or computer displays into a sophisticated wireless communications network like WiFi.

New TCP Protocol Could Deliver 30 Times Faster Internet File Transfers

30th January, 2013 (0 Comments)

Fujitsu Laboratories claims to have developed a new software-only version of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) that has already achieved a “throughput increase of over 30 times” during simulated file transfers between Japan and the USA and it also improves latency (i.e. better ping times).

UK Scientists Claim to Develop 2000 Times Faster Broadband via Fibre Optic

6th November, 2012 (6 Comments)

A team of scientists working out of Bangor University in Wales has developed a commercially affordable method of using Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OOFDM) over fibre optic lines, which could deliver broadband ISP speeds that are 2,000 times faster than current services.

Lab Test Pushes Data Speeds of 2.56Tbps via Twisted Light Network

27th June, 2012 (6 Comments)

A multi-national team of scientists working out of the University of Southern California (USC) have successfully tested a new networking technology that can “twist light” to send data at a staggering speed of up to 2.56Tbps (Terabits per second)! The solution could “potentially” be adapted for use in fibre optic cables or even satellite links.

Japanese Scientists Deliver Faster WiFi Using the T-rays Radio Spectrum

16th May, 2012 (1 Comment)

A group of Japanese scientists working out of the Tokyo Institute of Technology (TIT) have managed to push wireless (wifi) data rates of between 2-3Gbps (Gigabits per second) over the unregulated T-rays band of the electromagnetic radio spectrum (300-3000GHz).

Spinning Radio Signals Will Boost Wireless Internet Speeds Over Large Distances

2nd March, 2012 (0 Comments)

Scientists working at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics and the University of Padova have experimentally demonstrated, in a real-world setting, that it is possible to simultaneously transmit multiple independent radio channels, on the same frequency, via the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi band. Crucially the potential now exists to “dramatically increase the capacity of any frequency band,” which would have massive implications for other wireless solutions.
