LiFi is coming to Mexico next year, reportedly making it the first country in North America where “visible light communication” technology will be employed. Computer and technology firm Sisoft Mexico will be installing the system in homes, businesses and hospitals in Mexico City.

A new development in fibre optics could make internet speeds up to 100 times faster – by detecting light that has been twisted into a spiral. The research, published in the journal Nature Communications, can be used to easily upgrade existing networks and significantly boost efficiency, scientists say.

Lighting systems manufacturer Lucibel announced the forthcoming launch of a new LiFi range developed with its Scottish partner PureLiFi. The company described the range as a second generation of products, featuring patent-pending innovation. A new LED downlight and LiFi key will be commercialised from November at more than half the retail price of their predecessorsRead more

With Signify, they can also provide fast, stable internet connection. Signify Benelux CEO told Elsevier the company will initially focus on the business market and on business applications. LiFi could become anRead more

The materials called perovskites—which combine cheap, simple manufacturing processes with good semiconductor specs—have attracted a lot of attention as a potential low-cost platform for solar cells and LEDs. Researchers would also like to put those same qualities into service in photodetectors, for high-bandwidth applications such as free-space visible-light communications (VLC), popularly known as “Li-Fi.”

LiFi is a wireless optical networking technology that uses LEDs for data transmission. It is essentially a way to receive wireless Internet that is different from Wi-Fi. LiFi acquired its name due to the similarity to Wi-Fi, only using light frequency instead of radio frequency.   Dr. Harald Haas first coined the term in a TEDRead more

Aviation technology company Astronics has brought to NBAA a new cabin demonstration booth to showcase about 30 cabin technologies.  Those include a cabin control system that lets passengers manipulate a range of cabin functions via a wireless touchscreen device about the size of a smartphone.

The global race towards superfast “fifth generation” mobile internet, known as 5G, is entering a key phase. The trouble is no-one knows exactly which technologies will be best for offering such a service. But one telecoms firm may just have had a light-bulb moment. At its headquarters in Slough, O2 has installed an unusual demo.Read more

The global rollout of 5G is well underway, and we soon may see new small cell towers near all schools, on every residential street, dispersed throughout the natural environment, and pretty much everywhere. But the safety of this technology is in serious question, and there is a raging battle to stop the taxpayer funded implementationRead more
