While at CES 2012 I had the rare opportunity to meet with Richard Neumann and Catalina Guirado-Cheadle from TriLumina. If you haven't heard of TriLumina yet, don't worry you will. They specialize in a new piece of technology that's set to compete with Thunderbolt and USB 3.0.

Essentially, what this technology does is allow users to wirelessly connect devices at fiber optic speeds. Meaning you can transfer an entire days worth of music in ONE second and large uncompressed HD footage in only a few seconds. This "Light Engine" will allow wireless transfer rates of 10 Gigabits per second, approximately 500 times faster than most home wireless data rate transfers or the best 4G mobile hotspots.

The power of this technology is very impressive, and I for one am very anxious to see what devices it will end up in. With Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 just starting to gain traction, I can't help but wonder if both of these technologies are already becoming obsolete. We have already seen a huge shift in wireless technology over the last few years, and it is my belief that this shift will greatly continue.
