Lightfleet, a member of the Open Source Alliance, is an emerging early
staged growth company that has invented the world's first free-space
broadcast optical interconnect.  Simply put, Lightfleet has created a new
way for computers to communicate using light instead of wires.  Lightfleet's
CorowaveTM technology streamlines computer-to-computer communication by
empowering computers to directly talk to each other over short distances
through the air with broadcast light. 

Why is this important? 

The biggest technology revolution in the way we work, learn, play, and
interact with the world has just begun. The growing tidal wave of demand for
digital data is unprecedented and will continue to grow geometrically in
size for many years to come.

Lightfleet's breakthrough technology allows our first product, an innovative
form factor server, to be 1/3 the size and use 1/3 the electricity of any
comparable product . . . while also being significantly faster by unleashing
the true potential of parallel computing.
