World’s first full LiFi networking system goes on show
In Q4 of 2014, the pureLiFi team launched and shipped the world’s first LiFi networked solution – Li-Flame – to industry customers worldwide. The system turns off-the shelf light fixtures into LiFi access points that can simultaneously communicate to a plurality of users in a bi-directional fashion. Li-Flame also consists of the world’s first battery powered LiFi mobile unit that is attached to a laptop screen and allows user roaming within a room, or indeed an entire building.
LiFi – a term coined by pureLiFi’s Chief Science Officer (CSO), Professor Haas – is a technology based on visible light communication (VLC) that provides full networking capabilities similar to Wi-Fi but with greater spatial reuse of bandwidth.
Harald Haas, CSO and co-founder of pureLiFi, said: "The Li-Flame is a major milestone in the development of pervasive LiFi solutions, and our live demonstration at MWC is a massive step for the company and its LiFi commercialization activities. We see that LiFi is increasingly viewed as a transformative technology that can change the way we use the mobile internet in future 5G cellular networks, as well as the way we connect ‘things’ around us as part of the Internet of Things.
The LiFi networking system will be demonstrated at Mobile World Congress on the Scotland stand (Hall 7, Stand 7B11).
