The frequency of the actual laser will determine it's wavelength (ie colour).  It'll be far greater than 2.4ghz.  The intensity of the laser will determine whether it'll blow stuff up.<br><br>I was about to commet how this isn't wifi, but although it needs line of sight, it is electromagnetic waves just like the radio wifi works over.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carpet]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2008 11:10AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/worlds-fastest-wifi-uses-lasers/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/worlds-fastest-wifi-uses-lasers/</guid><description><![CDATA[Nice thinking but not so maverick. The wavelength (which is a different thing entirely) would determine the colour. 2.4GHz determines the number of pulses per second are sent. The laser, I would presume is a Red laser.
