The NoCat Wireless Access Point/Night Light

Posted by timothy on from the natural-progression dept.

cascadefx writes "O'Reilly's Hacks page has a really great article about a wireless access point that was on display at the recent Emerging Technology Conference. The folks at NoCat.net rigged up a Siemens Speedstream series access point with a low power ultraviolet light to create a wireless lightbulb. Just screw it in place and combine powerline ethernet with a wireless network... and a light, to create a wireless lightbulb. Ubiquitous networking, here we come."

    the general idea is fine but the thing that this guy rigged up is dangerous. It could have been done better and safer..

    Back to the workbench for a safety overhaul.
