IR speed breakthrough: New infrared technique transfers full CD in seconds!

The Japanese firm, KDDI R&D Lab has brought a tremendous upgrade in speed to IR (Infrared) technology. The new IR technique introduced by this firm can now transfer data at a speed of 1Gbps, which is 250 times faster than the old theoretical limit of IR – 4Mbps.

Besides the high speed, they have also added stability to the IR technology. The new IR method uses a new semiconductor laser instead of old LED, which can blink faster than any diode. The new IR technology could be used in PCs and mobile devices, which would help IR gain back its popularity which they’d lost to Bluetooth and WiFi couple of years ago. The firm also claims that transferring a full CD of music can be achieved under a few seconds with proven accuracy.
