re: #169 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

The main thing is, each visible light photon has from 178,000 (bottom of the red) to 312,000 (top of the violet) times the energy of a 2.4 GHz radio-frequency photon from a cell phone. It would take enormously more energy to transmit the same amount of information—unless you confine the visible light to a glass fiber, of course.

Ok I’m getting all geek hot and bothered. I have some new 802.11ac access points I need to test. Will pour some wine and set the mood with Devo.
