Lights On, WiFi Out
from the R&D-Isn't-Done-Yet dept
More efficient lighting technology is always an interesting solution to solve energy crisis problems, but how about when the lights conflict with your WiFi network? Apparently, there's a lighting system being developed that operates at 25% of the cost of fluorescent lights, but it also unfortunately generates radio frequencies in the 2.4GHz range. Sounds like more research is in order. Can anyone spare some transparent EM shielding?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
