Future Tech: Visible Light Communications

Visible Light Communication using light emitting diodes (LEDs), for the dual role of illumination and data transmission. Using visible light, this is free, and lower than the other frequencies crowded, wireless service pig supports the existing lighting fixtures. With this leading edge technology, including video and audio, Internet traffic and other data, you can use LED lights, high-speed transmission.

Prof Harald Haas leads the EPSRC-funded D-LIGHT project at the School of Electronics and Engineering at the University of Edinburgh.

VLC technology has the potential to provide more than hundreds of megabits per second data transfer rate. Light radiation neither constitutes nor suffers from electromagnetic interference (EMI) making VLC a very attractive technology in places/environments where electromagnetic interference (EMI) is an issue, such as in hospitals and in aircraft.

Two-year D-light project is halfway through its funding. The main commercial goal is to form the University of Edinburgh spinout company hopes in 2012.

VLC Applications:

A wide range of applications would benefit from using novel visible light communications:

• WiFi Spectrum Relief - Providing additional bandwidth in environments where licensed and/or unlicensed communication bands are congested
• Smart Home Network – Enabling smart domestic/industrial lighting; home wireless communication including media streaming and internet access
• Commercial Aviation – Enabling wireless data communications such as in-flight entertainment and personal communications
• Hazardous Environments- Enabling data communications in environments where RF is potentially dangerous, such as oil & gas, petrochemicals and mining
• Hospital and Healthcare – Enabling mobility and data communications in hospitals
• Defence and Military Applications – Enabling high data rate wireless communications within military vehicles and aircraft
• Corporate and Organisational Security – Enabling the use of wireless networks in applications where (WiFi) presents a security risk
• Underwater Communications – Enabling communications between divers and/or remote operated vehicles
• Location-Based Services – Enabling navigation and tracking inside buildings.

The Future Internet

Just as the internet revolutionized how the world accessed information and communicated through the 1990's, the ongoing development in speed, bandwidth, and functionality will continue to cause fundamental changes to how our world operates for decades to come. Some of the major trends shaping the future of the internet are summarized below, along with exrapolated predictions:

Globalism:

The future of the internet global distribution of information and knowledge at lower and lower cost will continue to lift the world community for generations to come. people will have access to any information they wish, get smarter environment. A better informed humanity will make better macro-level decisions, and an increasingly integrated world will drive international relations towards a global focus.

Communities:

The future of the internet communication revolution is ongoing, now uniting communities as it recently united networks. not everything about the internet is global; an interconnected world is also locally interconnected. The Internet will increasingly be used for communications within communities tools such as mailing lists, newsgroups, and websites, and towns and cities will become more organized and empowered at the neighborhood level.

Bandwidth:

The future of the internet growth in bandwidth availability shows little sign of flattening. Large increase of bandwidth in the 10 Mbps range and u will continue to be deployed to home users through cable, phone, and wireless networks. cable modems and telephone-based DSL modems will continue to spread high speed Internet throughout populated areas. High resolution audio, video, and virtual reality will be increasingly available online and on demand, and the cost of all kinds of internet connection will continue to drop.

Wireless:

The future of internet wireless communications is the end-game. Wireless frequencies has two great advantages: (a) There are no infrastructure start-up or maintenance costs other than the base stations, and (b) it frees users to become mobile, talking internet use from one dimension to three. Wireless internet networks will offer increasingly faster services at vastly lower costs over wider distance, eventually pushing out physical transmission systems.

The internet open TCP/IP design was originally inspired by use of radio communications networks in the 1970's, The wireless technologies experimented with in the 1990's were continually improved. By the early 2000's, several technologies provided reliable, secure, high bandwidth networking that worked in crowded city centers and on the move, providing nearly the same mobility for internet communications as for the cellular phone.

Interplanetary Internet

  Now-a-days, we can talk to anyone in any corner of this world almost instantly because of Internet. What did you think about we could communicate with someone beyond the Earth?


There're a few reason for low data transfer speed :
Distance -- On Earth, we are only a fraction of a light second apart, making Earth communication nearly instantaneous over the Internet. As you move farther out into space, however, there is a delay of minutes or hours because light has to travel millions of miles, instead of thousands of miles, between transmitter and receiver.


Line of sight obstruction -- Anything that blocks the space between the signal transmitter and receiver can interrupt communication.


Weight -- High-powered antennas that would improve communication with deep space probes are often too heavy to send on a space mission, because the payload must be light and efficiently used.


SCPS is a protocol suite designed allow communication over challenging environments. Originally developed jointly by NASA and DoD’s USSPACECOM to meet their various needs and requirements. These protocols have been found to be applicable in meeting the needs of the satellite and wireless communities.

With this kind of network in place, the communications problems resulting from having very little communications infrastructure in place at Mars that plagued the 'rescue' efforts after the Mars Polar Lander disappeared would be greatly simplified.

Web 4.0 Era Is Upon Us.

A future where "technology and human become one"--the Web 4.0 era--is on the way, says TrendOne CEO.

According to Nils Müller, CEO of TrendOne,  a German microtrend analysis firm. Web 2.0 is seen in the audience-generated content, such as the rise of blogs and podcasts. The  3.0 period is being represents a deeper level of engagement, where users can jumps into media site such as virtual worlds. But evidence of the '4.0' era -- an "always-on" world where humans can "self-upgrade" through technology extensions -- is already nigh and being driven by the youngest generation. While to adults virtual worlds such as Second Life were novelties, today's children are growing up virtually. As evidence, a virtual world launched last year.
