Very cool. The future is wireless. Our children's children won't ever understand what a plug and socket was.

I would be interested in seeing what the transmission efficiency is on those units. Will have to look it up.

Every day I look around, and if nobody is shooting at me, it is a pretty good day.

The local cable company is now broadcasting HD in wireless from the receiver to the TV for the last 60 days.

The company came out last week and offered me wireless from the exterior of the home - deleting the need for any interior wiring ... all this after I just completed running wires in cat5e and co-ax to make sure I was covered in the long run.

I have an office tenant with a call center that installed these for their wireless headsets and other devices.

After the first month they had to place a second order due to theft.

That's why the company started having them installed in lamps or hard surfaces.

Seems no matter what problem this company runs into their solution turns into more profits.

I can totally see recharging stations underneath a parked car.

Very interesting technology! If I can already achieve wiring my home with one single Can Bus using the Can Open protocol that would be already a great achievement
