Digital communication via modulated light signals has great commercial potential, experts believe: This LiFi – comparable to radio wave-based WiFi – promises high data rates and reliability at very short latencies, but has not yet a broad application base. The ELIoT research project is intended to change this. The future IoT will place significantly higherRead more
Despite its apparent omnipresence, the internet is only available to around half of the world’s population. Whatever estimate you choose, billions are without the basic internet access we take for granted in more developed countries. This means that, if we are to achieve digital equality, these billions of people will need access. If you coupleRead more
LiFi is the optical analog of common WiFi, where light is used as the communications carrier instead of wireless RF transmission. Light is more easily physically confined than radio waves, as it does not pass through walls, curtains or other opaque surfaces. Visible Light Communications (VLC) or as it is commonly called, LiFi, allows muchRead more
Eric Rondolat, CEO of Signify, discusses the company’s earnings report.
Inventor of LiFi Harald Haas talks to Philip Mason about the origins of the solution, and why he believes it will solve the problem of finite RF spectrum in a data-hungry world As recent readers of Land Mobile will know, the digital communications sector is currently in a state of high anticipation, waiting for theRead more
Globalworth, an office-focused developer in Poland and Romania, has installed LiFi in its offices in Spektrum Tower, Warsaw. The firm has worked with Signify, formerly known as Philips Lighting, to improve the use of the office buildings managed by the company. Lightwave wireless communication technology, known as LiFi or ‘light fidelity’, is similar to WiFi.Read more
Velmenni is glad to be a part of Light Communications Alliance formed by Global Industry Leaders to promote new wireless technologies enabling Light Communications. Light Communications technologies complement and enhance 5G wireless communications and other radio frequency technologies such as Wi-Fi. By utilising its greater available spectrum, light can be used to deliver larger amounts of dataRead more
Scottish LiFi pioneer pureLiFi has teamed up with communications and lighting leaders to form a global association called the Light Communications Alliance (LCA) with the aim to develop and refine LiFi’s key use cases while driving standards for this emerging industry. Along with pureLiFi, the founding members of the LCA include Nokia, Emirates Integrated TelecommunicationsRead more
A word that seems strangely familiar, LiFi, is a form of technology that may see widespread use soon. You may confuse it with WiFi, but no, they are not the same, in fact, LiFi is the big brother in the family. In this article, you will find out just what is LiFi, as well asRead more
In case you haven’t heard of the term yet, “LiFi” is short for Light Fidelity and refers to the modulation of light in order to wirelessly stream data. It is similar to WiFi as the modulation of radio waves, which is light at an invisible wavelength. LiFi technology is also sometimes referred to asRead more

Signify(Euronext: LIGHT), theRead more
Your humble editor attended the 2nd Annual Global LiFi Congress in Paris this week and left with four consensus takeaways: · Not a question of If LiFi will become mass market, the question is when · Costs must come down · The industry must agree on a standard for mass adoption · The dongle mustRead more
In-flight internet — if and when an airline offers it — is often unreliable and slow. Oledcomm wants to take things up a notch by making high-speed LiFi available on Air France and KLM flights. The French tech company will equip a reproduction of a medium-haul plane with LiFiMAX at the International Paris Air Show. Winners ofRead more
Li-Fi stands for Light Fidelity, which is an advanced technique that utilizes the method of light communication set up of radio waves in Wi-Fi technology. It is a dual directional, well networked, and fast paced optical wireless communication technique. This technology utilizes ultraviolet rays, infrared radiation, and visible spectrum for its operation. The thought behindRead more
