Lightbulbs to Replace Wi-Fi Connections?

Fancy talk

It appears that engineers at Boston University have developed LED lights that allows visible light to transmit information rather than radio waves. They call it “smart lighting” and LEDs replace wi-fi connections and are supposedly more secure and even faster than current technology running between 1 to 10 MB per second.

They say you’ll be able to walk into a room and communicate with all of your electronics by flipping on a light switch instead of having tangled cords and all you’ll have to do is replace your current light bulb with a smart light (and yes, it provides light too). So maybe Back to the Future wasn’t a complete pack of lies?
