Abstract :
We introduce a scalable indoor network concept which offers energy-efficient high-capacity wireless connectivity through 2-dimensional steering of multiple optical pencil beams by simple wavelength tuning. The first simultaneous multi-link free-space transmission of 2.5Gbit/s is demonstrated.
