I didn't see radiation mentioned anywhere! Plus if you want to get technical, any optical device uses radiation as well! lol

@Invader Par
That would be awesome to use this tech for internal PC communication! easier cable management, and flashing lights! However, to be effective it would need to get a lot faster to match SATA! Interesting concept none-the-less.]]>Mar 13th 2010 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/another-optical-wireless-experiment-shows-us-that-leds-will-beam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/another-optical-wireless-experiment-shows-us-that-leds-will-beam/Mar 13th 2010 7:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/another-optical-wireless-experiment-shows-us-that-leds-will-beam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/another-optical-wireless-experiment-shows-us-that-leds-will-beam/
Ah, sorry for my hubris...

Some cases where Microwaves are used to transmit data:
* Backbone or backhaul carriers in cellular networks. Used to link BTS-BSC and BSC-MSC.
* Communication with satellites
* Microwave radio relay links for television and telephone service providers

However LEDs will never replace these. At best they might replace your home wireless router, but they're just too impractical

They are two completely different units of measurement. m is meter and M is mega. k is kilo and K is kelvin. Names of scientists and full names of units are started with a small letter :)]]>Mar 14th 2010 7:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/another-optical-wireless-experiment-shows-us-that-leds-will-beam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/another-optical-wireless-experiment-shows-us-that-leds-will-beam/

if you want to surf in the dark it will be a few more years or probably decades.

We need light that's above the visible light spectrum. The side benefit will be monster data rates. The downside will be power requirements.

Think red laser to blue laser. Blue laser was ahmm 1994 I think, 10 years later bluray. Bluray is lame speeds yet.]]>Mar 13th 2010 9:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/another-optical-wireless-experiment-shows-us-that-leds-will-beam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/another-optical-wireless-experiment-shows-us-that-leds-will-beam/Must just be you...]]>Mar 14th 2010 6:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/another-optical-wireless-experiment-shows-us-that-leds-will-beam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/another-optical-wireless-experiment-shows-us-that-leds-will-beam/Mar 14th 2010 7:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/another-optical-wireless-experiment-shows-us-that-leds-will-beam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/13/another-optical-wireless-experiment-shows-us-that-leds-will-beam/I want to uprank this but I can't...
