Albert Wang, a professor of electrical engineering at UC Riverside, is developing LED lights that transmit wireless signals and mapping information. He envisions a time when traffic lights will talk to cars and your computer will connect to the Web through a light.
Wang and his colleagues are getting ready to install a pilot project at Loma Linda University that would allow the medical computers to work off of the LEDs lighting a training clinic. The lights are produced by Gallium LED Lighting Systems, a Yucaipa-based company. (Read more...)
