Signify And World Forum The Hague Announced The World First Li-Fi Installation In A Congress Centre

Signify and World Forum The Hague, leader in hosting high-profile conferences, released an announcement of the world-first Li-Fi installation in a congress centre.  This was carried out to provide conference guests with the benefits of safe, secure, reliable, and high-speed connectivity via light waves instead of radio waves.

World Forum (Hague)

The World Forum (originally known as Nederlands Congresgebouw and formerly Nederlands Congres Centrum and World Forum Convention Centre) is a concert venue and convention centre in The Hague, Netherlands, near the buildings of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and one of the administrative offices of the International Baccalaureate.

World Forum is a compact venue but at the same time has 17.500 rentable square meters. A perfect location for large scale international events and ideal for networking moments, keynotes and break-out sessions. World Forum The Hague is a location with endless possibilities and fifty years of experience in organizing events.

The first Li-Fi installation was successfully done in one meeting room with the potential for more Li-Fi installation in the near future. World Forum The Hague wants to do whatever it takes to provide visitors and participants with the assurance that their data is routinely and rigorously secured, and the venue has become a front runner in Safety & Security. Their measures are reviewed ahead of every event and adjusted if needed.

Signify

Signify is the new brand name of Philips Lighting. The name change occurred in March 2018 to represent the transformation from an analogue lighting company into digital lighting and Internet of Things (IoT) company. Signify is the world leader in lighting for professionals, consumers and lighting for the Internet of Things. The company provides lighting solutions for professional segments such as automotive, healthcare, horticulture, office, outdoor, phototherapy, petrol stations, solar, purification, schools, fashion, cinema, and more. These lighting solutions include indoor and outdoor luminaires, lamps, electronics, lighting controls, lighting control software, IoT systems and platforms.

Signify has also other brands under its belt such as Philips, Interact, Modular Lighting Instruments, Luceplan, Color Kinetics, ILTI Luce and Philips Hue.

Trulifi system

In 2019, Signify launched a new Li-Fi system called “Trulifi”. Trulifi uses light waves to enable highly reliable, secure two-way wireless communications at speeds far above most conventional workplace wireless technologies.

Trulifi uses optical wireless transceiver technology built, or retrofitted, into Philips luminaires. This means customers do not have to replace their existing lighting infrastructure to receive great quality light and wireless connectivity.

The new Li-Fi system comprises of a USB Network Access adapter, Li-Fi enabled LED lights and a Trulifi-6002 Plug-In Optical Transceiver. The Trulifi-enabled luminaires can provide wireless connectivity at speeds up to 150 Megabits per second (Mbps) over large spaces, such as meeting rooms and office floors. There is seamless handover between each Trulifi-enabled luminaire enabling users to roam around. The speed is fast enough to stream simultaneously 30 1080p HDTV movies. A USB-access key, plugged into a laptop, is needed to receive the LiFi signal and acts as an emitter to send data back to the luminaire.

The Trulifi range also includes a fixed point-to-point system, up to 250 Mbps speed, which acts as a wireless cable. This is ideal for mobile devices connectivity. This Li-Fi system can also be useful to connect robots or machines in radio frequency (RF) harsh environments like industrial plants, or hospitals where RF communications may not be permitted, or where there’s a need to send and receive large data files securely and quickly. Currently, Trulifi is aimed at professional markets, including offices, hospitality, retail, industry, construction and healthcare.

According to Signify, their Li-Fi product “Trulifi” offers the perfect addition to ensure meeting rooms are equipped with highly secure, reliable and high-speed wireless connectivity as well as providing users with the same standards for ease of use and comfort as with other wireless technologies. LiFi is a wireless technology, but instead of radio waves, light waves are employed, ensuring the network is strictly limited inside each room. With additional custom encryption and specific access, keys security can be even more specifically controlled.

Marije Bouwman, Director of Operations, Safety & Security from World Forum The Hague stated the following: 

"Although World Forum The Hague has a highly secure WiFi network, an increasing amount of our clients is cautious to work with WiFi due to the growing number of security breaches we see in the news. With Trulifi we can now offer our high-level clients a broadband connection that is wireless, both reliable and secure,”.

Olivia Qiu, Chief Innovation Officer for Signify, stated that:

"We are delighted and proud that World Forum The Hague is using Trulifi by Signify. This illustrates the relevance of this relatively new technology for wireless connectivity can provide to congress centres around the globe. With this implementation, we’ll show how Trulifi is fast, secure and reliable and performs at the top of the market,".

What is Li-Fi?

Li-Fi, 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 Li-Fi 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 Li-Fi work?

Li-Fi is a high speed, bidirectional, and fully networked wireless communication of data using light. Li-Fi 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 which 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.

Li-Fi Benefits

The primary benefits of Li-Fi 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 small coverage area of Li-Fi 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.

Light Rider Demonstrate Li-Fi To South Lakes Seahawk Cyber Club

Light Rider Demonstrate Li-Fi to South Lakes Seahawk Cyber Club

The CEO of Light Rider, Inc., Tony Lawrence recently attended a meeting with South Lakes High students of the Seahawk Cyber club for a demonstration of Li-Fi technology.  Club sponsor Selwyn Lawrence stated that Li-Fi has quite a few potential advantages to Wi-Fi because the communication cannot go through walls and hence a hacker who is not physically present in the room cannot capture the data. It also has roughly 10,000 times the bandwidth of Wi-Fi where it can support many users sending or receiving very high bandwidth transmissions in the same room simultaneously. Students asked questions regarding cybersecurity from one of U.S. first cyber warriors: Tony Lawrence, chief executive officer of Light Rider, who shared his entry into the cyber field via the U.S. Army and work with the National Security Agency.

Seahawk Cyber members had the opportunity to test a quantum chip and Li-Fi light bulbs from Light Rider and will now be able to run very fast and secure programs using this device. The award-winning, student-led Seahawk Cyber club has five teams that recently competed in the U.S. Air Force Association's CyberPatriot Defense competition. One of the teams, Team Zero Day, is ranked third in the state and 32nd out of 2,600 teams in the country and abroad.

Seahawk Cyber

Seahawk Cyber is a student-led cybersecurity club sponsored by Mr Lawrence. The students participate in various CTF’s, cybersecurity competitions, hackathons, etc. Every year, the club competes in the annual Cyberpatriot Competition where competitors secure a variety of systems in a simulated corporate environment. This competition is a great opportunity for anyone who may be interested in a career in cybersecurity and provides valuable hands-on experience, as well as promoting general technical and solution-oriented mindsets.

CyberPatriot is the National Youth Cyber Education Program created by the Air Force Association to inspire K-12 students toward careers in cybersecurity or other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines critical to our nation’s future. ​At the core of the program is the National Youth Cyber Defense Competition, the nation’s largest cyber defense competition that puts high school and middle school students in charge of securing virtual networks. Other programs include AFA CyberCamps, an elementary school cyber education initiative, a children’s literature series, and CyberGenerations –a cyber safety initiative geared toward keeping senior citizens safe online.

Testing of Li Fi Technology at Malaga’s María Zambrano station by Adif

Testing of Li-Fi Technology at Malaga’s María Zambrano station by Adif

ADIF (an acronym of Administrador de Infraestructuras Ferroviarias) is a Spanish state-owned railway infrastructure manager under the responsibility of the Ministry of Development, charged with the management of most of Spain's railway infrastructure, that is the track, signalling and stations. It was established in 2005 in response to European Union requirements to separate the natural monopoly of infrastructure management from the competitive operations of running train services. It is the legal successor of RENFE, FEVE (Ferrocarriles de Vía Estrecha), and GIF (Gestor de Infraestructuras Ferroviarias).

Adif announced the trialling of Li-Fi technology at Malaga’s María Zambrano station. The Li-Fi trialling is done in cooperation with Malaga technology firm Datlight. One of the main purposes of the trialling is the evaluation of the capacity, practicality and user-friendliness of Li-Fi technology. Passengers will also be able to give their feedback of using Li-Fi at train stations.

For illustration purposes

Adif hopes that Li-Fi could offer a more cost-effective, lower maintenance alternative method to traditional Wi-Fi to improve digital accessibility across its network.  Adif also says that the technology could be used to complement 5G in areas where Wi-Fi typically suffers from signal loss.

The pilot is the first launched under Adif’s five-year Digital Transformation Plan for Passenger Stations, which aims to improve digital services across the Spanish rail network.

What is Li-Fi?

Li-Fi, 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 Li-Fi 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 Li-Fi work?

Li-Fi is a high speed, bidirectional, and fully networked wireless communication of data using light. Li-Fi 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 which 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.

Li-Fi Benefits

The primary benefits of Li Fi 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 small coverage area of Li-Fi 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.

Spie ICS, a digital services subsidiary of the SPIE Group, an independent European leader in multi-technical services in the fields of energy and communications, and the French start-up Oledcomm, a world leader in Li-Fi technology, have been selected by the Centre-Val de Loire region to set up, within a pilot high school, LiFi technology permitting students to connect to the Internet using light. More secure and more environmentally friendly, Li-Fi is a reliable and promising alternative to Wi-Fi.

SPIE ICS is one of the French leaders in IT Services. The subsidiary’s mission is to provide a complete range of services (consulting-engineering, facilities management and managed/cloud services) to meet the IT architecture challenges now facing companies. SPIE Communications works in the following sectors: Unified Communications and Collaboration, IP Infrastructures, Security, Data Centers and Smart Buildings.

Wishing to preserve equal access to digital technology for young people in rural areas, the Centre-Val de Loire Region wished to offer an innovative experiment in a first establishment, the Bernard Palissy high school in Gien, to deploy LiFi technology in a classroom. It chose the integrator SPIE ICS and its partner Oledcomm, a "made in France" supplier of LiFi technology, to adapt the equipment of the two pilot establishments and make them compatible with this alternative mode of communication.

"Very easy to use, Li-FI technology is superimposed on already existing equipment. Our mission was to adapt to the IT infrastructure and terminals to make the use of LiFi possible. This project immediately attracted the support of 'all of the establishment's teams ", explains Sébastien Lascombe, a business engineer at SPIE ICS, in charge of the project.

Infratel Italia launches a trial of Li-Fi at The National Archaeological Museum of Taranto (Marta)

Infratel Italia launches a trial of Li-Fi at The National Archaeological Museum of Taranto (Marta)

Over a week ago, the Ministry of Economic Development made the announcement of a successful Li-Fi trial at the National Archaeological Museum of Taranto.  National Archaeological Museum of Taranto (Marta) is the first museum in Italy to use Li-Fi technology that allows fast and secure data transmission through LED light. A national record made possible thanks to the experimentation launched by Infratel Italia in collaboration with the start-up To Be and the Italian Videogames Academy (Aiv).

The “Li-Fi G1” solution developed and tested by Infratel thanks to the geolocation of information and users, allows the delivery of interactive multimedia contents, associated with the individual works on display, on the visitors' smartphones. The Li-Fi signal is decoded by the smartphone camera through a special app created by Infratel Italia and available on the main marketplaces.

In the continuation of the project, the introduction of technologies such as LiFi and AR / VR / Mixed Reality will make it possible to create and deliver puzzles and games, created by taking inspiration from images of works, artifacts or other contents present in the museum or inspired by the city of Taranto; drawings to colour and made taking inspiration from museum photographs, works, maps or images of finds; Static and dynamic storytelling with images and voices dramatized by actors, accompanied and synchronized with images of the museum or specially created.

CEO of Infratel Italia Marco Bellezza said that: “Through the project with the Marta we propose a model that can be applied to many Italian museums and places of culture, promoting a different and more interactive use of our historical and artistic heritage. We are very happy to leave Taranto for this project of national interest”.

The use of Li-Fi technology inside the museum - which currently houses 25 rooms for permanent exhibitions - aims to make the visitor experience as engaging as possible, accompanying the visitor through videos, touch media, images, recordings, Augmented and Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality technologies particularly appreciated by the new generations.

Eva Degl 'Innocenti, Director of the Museum  said: "The project, which sees the Marta as the first Italian museum to use Li-Fi technology, favours the widest accessibility to the cultural heritage, with the aim of making the museum visit as engaging as possible for the visitor. For this purpose, it was decided to introduce new technology to the Marta capable of making the multimedia contents associated with the works on display accessible, making them accessible to all with ad hoc content for the various visitor targets. The aim is to break down all types of barriers, allowing access to visitors with disabilities, such as deaf or blind people ".
