New technology that pushes the boundaries of data speed
Speeding up organic data transfer An international research team, involving Newcastle University experts, developed a visible light communication (VLC) to speed up organic data transfer. The technology is capable of a data rate of 2.2 Mb/s by using a new type of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). To arrive at this speed, scientists devised new far-red/near- infrared, solution-processed OLEDs. And by extending the spectral range to 700-1000 nm, they successfully reached the bandwidth capacity and accomplished the quickest ever data speed for solution-based OLEDs. Scientists noted, “the new OLEDs make open doors for new internet-of-things (IoT) network, just as wearable and implantable biosensors technology." The data rate the group accomplished through the pioneering device is sufficiently high to support an indoor point-to-point connect, with a perspective on IoT applications. The analysts feature the chance of accomplishing such data rates ...
