pureLiFi, Oledcomm and Fraunhofer HHI Will Demonstrate LiFi Advancements at The Upcoming MWC Barcelona 2023
pureLiFi, Oledcomm and Fraunhofer HHI to Attend the MWC Barcelona 2023
pureLiFi, Oledcomm and Fraunhofer HHI announced that they will be present at The Upcoming MWC Barcelona 2023. These big players of the emerging LiFi industry will showcase some latest advancements of LiFi technology to attendees.
OLEDCOMM will be at the French Tech Pavillon Hall 5 and you can also book an 30-mins online session with them.
pureLiFi will exhibit at Stand 7A11. They also announced that Prof Harald Haas will be speaking at their stand at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Professor Harald Haas, known as the Father of LiFi, will share insights into the latest developments in LiFi and how light communications will be the key to unlocking the ambitious vision of 6G.
Fraunhofer HHI will be present at booth 7G31, hall 7. Prof. Volker Jungnickel & Lennert Bober have worked with devolo AG to combine Powerline Communication (PLC) and LiFi.
Dr. Robert Elschner will present a key technology to realize 6G: a radio-head prototype for broadband point-to-point wireless data transmission at sub-THz carrier frequencies (300 GHz). The prototype is a collaboration with Fraunhofer IAF.
MWC Barcelona 2023
MWC Barcelona (formerly Mobile World Congress) is the largest mobile event in the world as well as the meeting place for the leaders of the mobile and related industries. The event is held in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain at the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via, usually in February or early March. It is attended primarily by device manufacturers, network equipment providers, representatives of wireless carriers, and the press, among others. Its annual attendance is generally around 100,000 people, while mobile phone manufacturers often use the conference to unveil upcoming devices.
GSMA has extended the MWC brand to two other trade shows in Shanghai, China (MWC Shanghai) and Los Angeles, United States (MWC Los Angeles, formerly MWC Americas), but the brand remains most synonymous with Barcelona event.
MWC Barcelona attracts some of the most influential decision-makers in the world. It’s where 2,400 leading companies and trailblazers share the latest topics relevant to the future. And the best place for networking opportunities with mobile and tech industry influencers.
MWC also remains a truly international exhibition attracting decision-makers in the mobile ecosystem. Currently, registered attendees come from 2,000 different companies, 183 countries, and 50% are Director level or above.
MWC Barcelona 2023 is happening February 27th through March 2nd 2023
Oledcomm

It also serves LiFi equipment in the telecom, datacom, personal electronics, and industrial markets. The company’s product portfolio includes hubs, routers, switches, adapters, drivers, power supplies, and more.
Oledcomm was founded in 2012 and is based in Paris, France. Oledcomm's adventure began in 2005 in the research laboratories of the University of Versailles-Saint-Quentin with the first work on communication by visible light.
Following years of research & development and a passion for innovation, Oledcomm became the pioneer of LiFi (Light Fidelity) solutions and innovation on a global scale.
Based in the Paris region, Oledcomm employs around 20 people and designs complete solutions for LiFi operation, including microcontrollers, LiFi photoreceivers and software platforms.
Today, after more than 33 patents, 15 years of R&D, over 500 trusted clients and several awards, Oledcomm is pursuing a strong mission: to transform the 14 billion points of light in the world into a powerful communication network.
The company is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified. Oledcomm's LiFi offering solves connectivity problems by replacing cables in environments where radio waves are undesirable. Targeted sectors include space, defence, industrial and education. Since 2020, LiFiMAX® has been installed and tested in more than 800 projects worldwide and has been validated by ORANGE for Cybersecurity.
At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in 2021, Oledcomm announced an integrated circuit (ASIC) that enables native LiFi integration in tablets, PCs or smartphones. Oledcomm is a laureate of the European Deeptech EIC Accelerator program, which provides for the European Commission to invest in Oledcomm through the EIC Fund.
pureLiFi
pureLiFi develops technology for communication networks that integrates data and lighting utility infrastructures. It offers a LiFi enabled device that converts the beam of lights into an electrical signal. The signal is then converted back into data. The company was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Edinburgh.
pureLiFi demonstrated the next LiFi system for the home at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2022 in Barcelona. pureLiFi stated that this is the world’s first LiFi ecosystem for the consumer market, named LiFi@Home™.
Fraunhofer HHI
The Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich Hertz Institute, HHI, also known as Fraunhofer HHI or Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute, is an organisation of the Fraunhofer Society based in Berlin. The institute engages in applied research and development in the fields of physics, electrical engineering and computer sciences.
Li-Fi Conference 2022
The Li-Fi Conference 2022 Edition was a great success. Li Fi Tech News will very soon write articles on the topics treated at the Conference.
What is LiFi?
LiFi, also known as "Light Fidelity" is a wireless optical networking technology, which uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to transmit data. In 2011, professor Harald Haas made a LiFi demonstration at the TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) Global Talk on Visible Light Communication (VLC).
VLC uses light as a medium to deliver high-speed communication like Wi-Fi and complies with the IEEE standard IEEE 802.15.7. The IEEE 802.15.7 is a high-speed, bidirectional, and fully networked wireless communication technology-based standard similar to Wi-Fi's IEEE 802.11.
How does LiFi work?
LiFi is a high speed, bidirectional, and fully networked wireless communication of data using light. LiFi constitutes of several light bulbs that form a wireless network.
When an electrical current goes through to a LED light bulb, a stream of light (photons) emits from the lamp. LED bulbs are semiconductor devices, which means that the brightness of the light flowing through them can change at extremely high speeds. The signal is sent by modulating the light at different rates. The signal can then be received by a detector that interprets the changes in light intensity (the signal) as data. Also when the LED is ON, you transmit a digital 1, and when it is OFF, you transmit a 0.
LiFi Benefits
The primary benefits of LiFi are as follows:
• Security: Provides entirely secure access. Where there is no light there is no data.
• Safety: Does not produce electromagnetic radiation and does not interfere with existing electronic systems.
• Localisation: Allows localisation due to the small coverage area of LiFi access point - localisation can be used for very precise asset tracking.
• Data density: Provides ubiquitous high-speed wireless access that offers substantially greater data density (data rate per unit area) than RF through high bandwidth reuse.

LiFi Systems Reviews by LiFi Tech News
OLEDCOMM LIFIMAX KIT REVIEW - ONE YEAR IN
We reviewed the LiFiMax kit produced by the leading French LiFi company Oledcomm. We bought this LiFi kit system at the end of 2020. After over a year of use, we decided to write a review of this LiFi system. We looked briefly at the profile of Oledcomm, a brief history of the LiFiMax system, the Kit box contents, some testing and performance results of this LiFi system, the customer experience and our own verdict (the good and the bad points) of the LiFiMax kit.
