Net & You And The Conseil Départemental De l’Allier Demonstrated LiFi Technology At The Maison De Bellevue
Net&You
On the 20th January 2022, The Net&You company launched a LiFi experiment in collaboration with the Conseil Départemental De l’Allier.
"An initiative, and not the least, since we can now connect to the Internet using light and no longer by hertzian waves" indicates the company Net&You, based in Lapalisse and which has offices in Vichy, Atrium .
The first establishment to have taken advantage of this offer is “La Maison de Bellevue” in Yzeure, and other nursery classes or nurseries could follow soon. The Maison de Bellevue, owned by the Conseil Départemental De l’Allier, is a place that allows foster children and siblings to spend time with their parent, in a space entirely dedicated to families.
Net&You, a telecom operator and installer of fiber optics and Wi-Fi networks for companies and communities, is also known thanks to its brands, including Courchevel Telecom, and has made a fine national reputation in access to very high speed and the deployment of fiber optics, particularly in hard-to-reach sites.
The Conseil Départemental De l’Allier spent around 7,000 euros (£5,902;$8,500) to install two LiFi kits.
Net&You was born in the mountains, in 2012. Pioneers of fiber optic connection in remote places, they are the first on the rope when it comes to reaching isolated places. To date, they have installed the highest flow rate observed on a wine estate.
An agile and ingenious fiber optic operator, they take advantage of their experience at altitude to circumvent the eligibility of traditional access providers (ISPs). For professional use or for individuals, their fiber optic deployment plan incorporates all types of constraints.
They also hold the highest fiber connection record in Europe (2732 m altitude in Courchevel.) With lightweight structures, Net&You ensures fiber optic deployment and connection, everywhere.
One of their motto is “Switching to Very High Speed has never been easier for you”.
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.
