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."

    Sucks when the Bulb burns out and you were downloading that 600MB file from the internet for the past 6 hours.

    Of course if would really suck if you didn't have a replacement bulb :)
