Intel To Use Light As Means Of Communication Between Devices

Intel is working on an optical interconnect, called Light Peak, that could use light waves to connect devices such as monitors and storage up to 100 meters away. This technology would also allow connection speeds of up to 10Gbits/sec. For instance, you would be able to transfer a full Blue-ray film in under 30 seconds. In addition, the technology would empower mobile devices to perform more tasks and work with more connections because Light Peak allows it to run multiple protocols simultaneously.
