China has launched the world's first
commercial grade visible light communication chip that supports transmission as
fast as 10 gigabytes a second, or 10 times a 5G mobile network.
The chip released Friday at the August
23-25 Smart China Expo, in Southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, uses a
light-emitting diode to surf the internet.
The chip is "safe, stable, high-speed
and efficient with a low cost," Wu Jiangxing, an academician of the
Chinese Academy of Engineering, was quoted as saying by news site people.cn on
Friday.
