Using light instead of Wi-Fi to beam data across a room might soon be the norm for everyday business, if Oledcomm has its way. At the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show, the French company announced a low-profile ceiling lamp — LiFiMax — that offers an internet connection over light waves to up to 16 users simultaneously at aRead more
LI-FI is a new wireless communication technology. LI-FI stand for light fidelity it is purposed by German physicist Heralad Hass. LI-FI transmit data by the illumination by sending data through a LED light bulb. It has the same idea behind the infrared remote control.LED light bulb varies in intensity faster than human eye.
Li-Fi could be the next big thing in communications technology. This is on the basis of LEDs being modulated at a high frequency level, which enables the transfer data rates between 10 and 100x faster than Wi-Fi.
With the recent boom in solid-state lighting (SSL), LEDs are now commonly used in lamps, luminaire, and many other lighting devices, all considered as potential data providers for optical wireless communication technology LiFi (light fidelity). LEDs can be modulated at a high frequency level that can’t be perceived by the human eye, supporting transfer data ratesRead more
NATICK, Mass. — When investigating new ways of transmitting and communicating information, sometimes it helps to see the light. This is the idea behind a new technology being investigated by the Research, Development and Engineering Command Soldier Center’s Expeditionary Maneuver Support Directorate, along with its industry partner, VLNComm of Charlottesville, Va. “It’s a wireless systemRead more
Technology company, pureLiFi, has provided its LiFi technology for a range of LiFi-integrated lighting products that will extend to panel lights and other commercial form factors, allowing for more flexible deployments.
Lighting systems manufacturer Lucibel will showcase a recent project where the French Army successfully tested its LiFi equipment, which will be presented at the Defence Innovation Forum taking place in Paris between 22 and 24 November.
The rise of smart devices and Internet of Things (IoT) means the increased demand for connectivity. In fact, by 2020, there will be more than 50 billion devices that would be always connected to the rest of the world. With that being said, something needs to be done to improve internet connectivity so that itRead more
GLOBAL leader in lighting Signify raised the bar in innovation when it recently introduced in the local market the Light Fidelity (LiFi), a technology using high-quality light-emitting diode (LED) lighting to obtain a broadband Internet connection through light waves.
In a call with investors, Olaf Berlien, OSRAM Licht AG – CEO & Chairman of the Managing Board, stated, “Ladies and gentlemen, something is big happening in the lighting market: it is shifting from illumination to photonics. So what does photonics mean? It basically means the emission, the transmission and the detection of light. In theRead more
The International LiFi Community This unique event dedicated to LiFi will take place on the 12th and 13th of June 2019 at “Les Salons Hoche” in Paris (near the Arc de Triomphe). Due to your role and the innovation policy of your company, we are convinced that this event will be of great interest to you. The scientific and economic leaders involvedRead more
The presentation took place as part of a UK innovation-themed pavilion with the Duke of York and Liam Fox. LiFi was presented as a symbol of UK innovation which enables more secure, energy efficient and faster connections – that can provide 1000 times more bandwidth than conventional WiFi.
BERLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–(Broadband World Forum, Berlin) – Firefly LiFi, a manufacturer of Visible Light Communications (VLC) LiFi products, announced that its SecureLink LiFi solutions are compliant with the latest draft of the ITU G.9991 (or “G.vlc”) Standard Recommendation. This latest draft of the G.vlc Recommendation was coordinated by the International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Sector (ITU-T), whoseRead more
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.
