LUMEOVA Announces WiRays, a Revolutionary, Ultra-Fast Technology Designed to Deliver Wireless Data,,
LUMEOVA, an innovator of ultra-fast, wireless connectivity
solutions, announced that it has developed an optical wireless
communication technology, called WiRays® that can deliver wireless data at
speeds of up to 100 Gigabits per second (Gbps). WiRays® is designed for
connectivity of consumer and commercial electronic devices at blazing speeds
with low power consumption. Harnessing the vast optical spectrum, WiRays® is
designed to deliver fiber optic speeds without the fiber.
“The launch of WiRays® is the culmination of a multi-year
innovation effort at LUMEOVA,” said Dr. M. Ali Khatibzadeh, Founder & CEO
of LUMEOVA. “Working with our strategic partners, we have successfully
transitioned the technology from an exciting concept in the laboratory to products
that can be built in high-volume semiconductor foundries.”
Wireless data traffic is exploding and driven by insatiable
consumer demand for video content on mobile devices. According to the latest
Ericsson Mobility Report (https://www.ericsson.com/en/reports-and-papers/mobility-report/reports),
mobile data traffic is forecasted to increase by 55% compounded annual growth
rate (CAGR) during the next 5 years. Video content is anticipated to dominate
wireless data demand and emerging applications such as Virtual Reality (VR) and
Artificial Intelligence processor communications will further accelerate this
trend. Today’s smart phones and tablets can capture and display
ultra-high-definition video, but sharing such content is constrained by the
connectivity speed of WiFi and cellular networks.
The wireless industry is struggling to cope with this
ever-increasing demand for mobile data due to shortage of “good” radio spectra.
Nearly all wireless communication today including Bluetooth, WiFi, and 5G
cellular, take place in a narrow portion of the radio spectrum below 7 GHz
where signals travel at long distances and without significant loss. More radio
bands (24-52 GHz) in the millimeter wave spectrum have been allocated for 5G.
However, these bands require more complex systems which have higher cost,
shorter range and higher power consumption due to excessive signal losses.
“While the industry will continue to deliver improved data
speeds for 5G, 6G and advanced WiFi through more efficient use of existing radio
spectrum, optical wireless presents a vast new opportunity for multiplying
connectivity speeds of mobile devices. In fact, there is over 300,000 GHz of
unlicensed bandwidth available near the visible portion of the optical spectra
compared to only a few GHz available for 5G/6G/WiFi,” added Dr. Khatibzadeh.
“Optical fibers are the backbone of the telecommunication networks and carry
nearly all internet, voice and video packets across the globe. WiRays® can
unleash the full potential of optical technology for wireless, mobile
communication and deliver fiber optic speeds without the fiber.”
