Wi-Fi? More like Wow-Fi - researchers transmit almost 2 million Netflix HD streams simultaneously using a single beam of infrared light

Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology achieved a record-breaking wireless data transmission of 5.7 terabits per second over 4.6km using infrared light. This feat, equivalent to streaming 1.9 million Netflix shows simultaneously, demonstrates the potential of free-space optical communication to meet growing connectivity demands. The technology could bridge gaps in future 5G and 6G networks where fiber optic cables are impractical.
