Every year brings new and exciting technology, and this year was no different. As it’s our job here at Techcitement to talk about tech that excites us, we thought we’d put a spotlight on that specific tech that we’re also thankful that exists. Whether it’s some tech that personally affects our daily lives or tech […]
Last July, Dr. Harald Haas of the University of Edinburgh School of Engineering gave a TED Talk about what he called Light Fidelity, or LiFi. Haas said that the new technology, still in its infant stage, would revolutionize communications, replacing broadband-based WiFi with ultra-high speed over-the-air data transmission through LED lights. This wasn’t just a […]

In July 2011, Dr. Harald Haas, Professor of Mobile Communications at the University of Edinburgh School of Engineering/Institute of Digital Communications, for the first time publically demonstrated Light Fidelity (Li-Fi), a method of Visible Light Communication […]
Amidst the ever-escalating battle against computer crime, law enforcement receives a new tool. The Aircheck, by Fluke, is a WiFi tester for network professionals. I have several problems with this strategy. First of all, police are not network professionals.
The concept of inductive charging has been around for a little while now. (The Palm Pre launched with such a feature, and battery manufacturers Duracell and Eveready offer their own inductive chargers to use with various electronic devices.) The goal, of course, is to eliminate extra wires and clutter. So, when the Wall Street Journal […]
A start-up company out of San Diego, On-Ramp Wireless, is developing a new Wi-Fi technology that uses the same 2.4 Ghz frequencies as today’s wireless routers, but it has the ability to transmit a signal as far as 45 miles away from the source!
