Signify and On The Leaders in Supply Chain and Logistics Podcast
Alexandre Baubert, Head of Supply Chain at Signify, was invited to the Leaders in Supply Chain and Logistics Podcast as a guest speaker.
The Leaders in Supply Chain and Logistics Podcast focuses on bringing some of the best thought leaders in the industry, picking their brains and sharing it with as many interested listeners as possible. They want to connect the audience with global experts, thought leaders and executives in all things supply chain. They talk about Supply Chain and Logistics leading-edge technologies, leadership stories, and personal success habits.
In this podcast episode 138, they discussed how Alexandre’s career in supply chain began, the Sustainability angle of Signify, LiFi technology, the main challenges that Alexandre foresees, hiring for skills vs hiring for attitude and advice for young professionals that are stepping into their careers.
Below are some of the conversations of the podcast about LiFi technology. Some of the discussions have been edited by LiFi Tech News:
“I think we know WiFi, HiFi, and high fidelity. But LiFi was a new concept that came up just before 2020, 2018 started to make some noise. It's basically like fibre, a high-speed bi-directional wireless communication of data using the spectrum of light. And you can imagine that the bulb that you have at home or the bulb that you see in the street is a network or a node of the network that communicates and you have photons that are emitted by that lamp and through a semiconductor, you know the LED technology. And basically, through the changing of the flow of that light, you can transmit data at high speed. And one of the advantages, it's extremely secure at extremely high speed. And it has applications in airlines, the military, in any mobility like buses or cars. And you can think it's very close to the IoT concept. So, it's just a different wavelength. And I know that Latécoère who makes the seats in airlines have launched a pilot they had, I think in Paris or Toulouse, they hosted something like 50 Gamers for a high-speed competition, I mean a competition in an aeroplane on games with high-speed connectivity. And you can imagine the light on top of your head in your seat is secured. It's a beam that is just for you with high speed. And why airlines love it, It's because of fewer cables, and less weight. All are transmitted by lights. So, that's just the beginning.”
“And light is a big thing when you're in the consumer business in the brands. And they are using our technology to actually monitor how you take a product out off the shelf, how long you keep it, and which one you pick. So, you have data being acquired by light.”

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.

SIGNIFY TRULIFI 6002.1 STARTER KIT SYSTEM REVIEW
We also reviewed the Trulifi 6002.1 starter kit produced by Signify, the world leader in lighting for professionals, consumers and lighting for the Internet of Things. We got this LiFi kit system with the help of PCDSI and Signify around August 2021. In a similar fashion done with our previous review of the LiFiMax kit a few months ago, we will look briefly at the profile of Signify, a brief history of the Trulifi 6002.1 kit, the Kit box contents, some testing and performance results of this LiFi system, the customer experience and our own verdict (the good points and the bad points) of the Trulifi 6002.1 kit.
