When incorporated into Wifi 18 in the year 2046, it will prove to realistically get around 500 MB/s, and have a hard time getting through most walls.

- I_Am_Nous 3y agoThey are only transmitting 30 mm, when they moved to transmitting 20 meters it had to drop from 64QAM to 32QAM and lost some throughput. It's also laser generated so I don't believe it's omnidirectional, just point to point.
- connicpu 3y agoSounds more practical for satellite-to-satellite communication than for consumer devices then if it's being sent with lasers
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoMight work well in open office and large public spaces though, there's quite a lot of things in between consumer and space.
- aidenn0 3y agoThe transmitted signal is diode generated, not laser-generated, and it's coupled with a typical EHF horn antenna.
- derefr 3y agoIIRC there are modern enterprise wi-fi APs that sit in the rafters, and form star-topology laser relays between devices.
- NavinF 3y agoJokes aside, I get a consistent 1600mbps over wifi 6E which is good enough for me. Of course you need an AP in every room to get consistent performance, but wifi has always been like that. And unless your applications use forward error correction wifi will always have latency spikes from L2 retransmission if there's even one wall between the AP and device
- toastedwedge 3y agoIf I may ask, what is your hardware setup like if you're achieving consistent 1.6Gbps? Is that a reproducible, every day speed? Is that only for LAN or both LAN+WAN?
- NavinF 3y ago> what is your hardware setup U6 Enterprise AP, Hasivo ethernet switch from aliexpress (used as a media converter from the AP's 2.5G copper to 10G fiber), MikroTik RB4011iGS for NAT (router on a stick), 56G Mellanox SX6036 for wired LAN. 56G optics from eBay and 10G optics from fs.com >only for LAN or both LAN+WAN? Wired LAN is 56gbps nominal. Wireless LAN is 1.6gbps actual throughput. WAN is 1.4gbps actual throughput (limited by Comcast DOCSIS)
- glitchc 3y agoAn AP in every room, incorporated into the light fixture. Sounds like a business model just waiting for some funding.
- notso411 3y agoAlready exists
- glitchc 3y agoCould you share a link?
- NavinF 3y agoWhy incorporated into the light fixture? I paid ~$280 for each U6 Enterprise and that's the only thing that limits how many I have. I'm sure it's the same for anyone that cares about wifi performance. How much of a premium would you pay for better aesthetics?
- glitchc 3y agoYou placed one in each room right? Each room has at least one light fixture. AP becomes invisible, saves space.
- genpfault 3y ago> have a hard time getting through most walls. Dial up the TX power.
- xattt 3y ago> … have a hard time getting through most walls. Thankfully, the Class Wars of 2037 has caused most of society to move into tents, so signal penetration through walls was no longer an issue.
