King Willem-Alexander Visit

King Willem-Alexander visited the High Tech Campus, Eindhoven, in the Netherlands.  He is the current King of the Netherlands, having acceded to the throne following his mother's abdication in 2013.

The King first visited Holst Centre, a collaboration between the research centres imec and TNO. Researchers from different disciplines develop new technology for photonic chips and prototypes that companies can use for their production process and new products. 

The King was also given a tour of Holst Centre’s laboratory and attended demonstrations of the application of photonics in various sectors. Representatives from Signify, Effect Photonics, Delta Diagnostics, Quix Quantum, and Lionix explained the different stages in the value chain. During this tour, the main focus was on the applications that help solve society’s critical challenges.  The King was updated on various applications, including LIDAR, LiFi, quantum, and medical sensors.

The Trulifi system 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 LiFi system comprises a USB Network Access adapter, LiFi-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 a 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.  Currently, Trulifi is aimed at professional markets, including offices, hospitality, retail, industry, construction, healthcare and many more.

Kathleen Philips, director of imec at Holst Centre stated that: “Integrated photonics is one of the pillars of Holst Centre’s strategy. Combining the expertise of imec and TNO can offer all aspects needed in the development and production process, such as design, prototyping, testing, and manufacturing. We combine the photonic microchip technology of imec in Belgium, the design expertise of imec in the Netherlands, and the optics and systems integration knowledge of TNO to help develop new sustainable solutions in different industries.”

Photonics is defined as the science and technology of light, which encompasses the generation, guidance, manipulation, amplification, and detection of light.  Through photonics, data can be transmitted at the speed of light, reducing energy consumption, and increasing efficiency. Integrated photonic chips, considered a key technology worldwide, enable the development of smaller, faster, and energy-efficient devices. This will lead to innovations that will help solve the major challenges of our time and contribute to a healthy and sustainable future.

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.

Li-Fi Conference 2022 – LiFi Tech News Recap Series Part 1 - The Light Communication Alliance (LCA)

Table of Contents

Li-Fi Conference 2022 – LiFi Tech News Recap Series Part 1 - The Light Communication Alliance (LCA)

Li-Fi Conference 2022 - The LCA

The first speaker of the Li-Fi Conference 2022 was the chairman of the Light Communications Alliance (LCA), Marc Fleschen. He is the founder of Zero1 company specialising in optical camera communication. Winner of the French tech startup awards 2017, start-up of the Year 2018 by CCI French tech international, Prix du Jury 2018 UAE French embassy.

Marc Fleschen discussed the following topics during his presentation:

History of the Light Communication Alliance, LCA in a nutshell, LCA members, LCA ecosystem, Light Communication technologies, Strong added values, Who is asking for this technology?, Standardization status, Some use cases and examples of products deployed.

Below are some of the statements from the presentation:

“And so, we will explain the overall purpose of the LCA, its mission and the organisation around the ecosystem. The first thing that we believe was a catalyst to the expansion of light communication overall was also at the very beginning of the expansion for LEDs that as you can see on the market penetration is going.”

“The LCA was kicked off in 2017, where the first meeting happened during one LiFi meeting. The members decided to actually gather and create what is known as today the Light Communication Alliance. Following that, we had many work sessions amongst all the different members in order to be able to create this picture on the colour of the light communication, Ryan's to buy Lowe's, then, in 2019, the assemble actually just a little bit before the world changed, as we knew it. And we officially launched and registered in Luxembourg, the Light Communications Alliance as a nonprofit organisation, which is fully operational now for more than two years and is welcoming new members, of course, and has been operating for the last two years to be able to deliver a different type of mission.”

“The motivation around the light communication alliance is obviously to gather an ecosystem, the ecosystem, as you can see, the member on the right of the slide is growing and this ecosystem is today present in innovation or prison online with most of the people around this life by contract once. And it's really exciting to see this ecosystem growing. And the reason why and our motivation is to actually support that ecosystem and to support the growth of each of you individually, each of the companies that are the solution use cases in commercial purpose and implementation as well. The ecosystem is very wide.”

“Our mission was to organise also several different use cases. Taxonomy was one of the first tasks that we organised in order to be able to deliver the right message about what light communication is, and what are the different technologies that use light communications.”

“In the Alliance, we work with the taxonomy of actually two technologies that we're focusing on free space of cheek is a non-technology that has been here for many years, but it's using light, we actually defence about it, but we are not focusing on that technology, the tooth energy or wherever. And we're working on our optical, chemical communications and lifi.”

“The distinction between both technologies is really paramount because for many, many years, the message was a little bit blurred. And the problem about a blurred message is that it creates confusion amongst professionals, those professionals could actually be silicon vendors, mobile manufacturers, but also telecom operators.”

“Actually, we are complementary of every other technology, we are really complementary to Wi-Fi, we actually work alongside that Wi-Fi technology, we actually operate where Wi-Fi is not appropriate or is not working, for example, where there is a combinatoric perturbation, but the purpose of the alliance is to actually complement the line of different layers of communication, including Wi-Fi technology. And that's why we do work along the Wi-Fi technology and also different alliances that work with Wi-Fi.

“We are also within the light communication standardisation workshop and the people in charge of that. And there are currently two standards that are being followed, I would say by the light communication lines and by its members, one being the ITU and the other one being the IEEE.” 

”We do work on different market adoptions and we have a timeline with his what we do in the light communications, we try to support this communication adoption, we try to have messages for that we do deliver white paper, we work on new white paper, we participate to several different events. And we are honoured and proud to join with Jakajima for this lifi conference because we believe it's very important to be able to spread the word outside about what is happening in light communication because for many years, the message was unclear.”

“We have different members. Now we have United States members, but we also have Korean, and Japanese members. And we are very happy that the lie communication alliance is as of today, one of the largest, if not the largest, gathering ecosystem, around vendors, operators, members and participants of the Alliance.” 

”Once again, it's very important to understand that this lifi conference and today's experiment for each of you, as a huge implication on understanding that light communication is not laboratory. It's not in the study. It's commercial. It's now it's available. And with all the increase of the needs of technological support for AR VR, what 5g is delivering undergrowth to the whole to CG light communication is definitely Netmums to help bring a new layer of communication that has a sustainable, long-term evolution. And this is what as the light communication wants to.”

It is also beneficial in many space applications such as the replacement of intra-satellite payload-computer cables, the replacement of intra-satellite bus data cables, the replacement of inter-stage cables on launchers, and much more.

INSPIRE-SAT 7 is a French 2-Unit CubeSat (11.5 × 11.5 × 22.7 cm) primarily designed for Earth and Sun observation. INSPIRE-SAT 7 is one of the missions of the International Satellite Program in Research and Education (INSPIRE).

Below are some of the statements by benjamin Azoulay, president of Oledcomm:

“Let me first remind you what LiFi is. It is a communication that uses light. We use LEDs that we flash at a very high speed, 30 million times per second to send information and receive it. It's like Wi-Fi.”

“But LiFi is not intended to replace Wi-Fi. LiFi has the vocation to replace cable everywhere radio frequencies are forbidden. So, inside a satellite, radio frequencies are prohibited because they will interfere with onboard equipment. So, here we have a solution that allows us to replace cables, to lighten the satellites. And of course, as when you know that each kilo to put into orbit costs about 50 kilos of kerosene. You can see the advantage of technology right away.”

“So, it's that security is very important, it's a huge constraint. Wi-Fi is strictly prohibited in many military applications and in those environments, you have the Edge in an Army command centre for example, there is. There can be up to 30 kilometres of cable to see all the PCs wired and listen to us. We bring this wireless advantage to these environments.”

“So, we've been contacted by companies that work on lunar stations and want to take LiFi to replace cables, either inside the station or just nearby outside the station to avoid having extremely heavy shielded cables. You know that in space, there is a lot of radiation that attacks all the electronic materials, including the cables, so the cables are shielded. It's very heavy, it's very big. Look, this is the application we have. And so the satellite is called Inspired Seven. It is a ring of the University of Paris-Saclay and the laboratory. Lévesque's atmosphere and space observation, a world first. We also worked with Space X.”

“We're working on a fairly major transportation project line in a large French region. I can't say more today.”

“And so just to finish up, we're in the process of preparing a fundraising of about 10 million euros. The European Union is going to take a stake in the company, and has already expressed an intention to take a third of this round to finance our development in the United States and our development in the US.”

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.

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.

Professor Harald Haas Shares His Views About LiFi and 6G On A 6GWorld Interview

Prof. Harald Haas on 6GWorld Interview

Professor Harald Haas shared his opinions on LiFi technology and 6G in a recent interview with 6GWorld at MWC23. The interview was conducted by Caio Castro. 

Below are some of the conversations of the 6GWorld interview about LiFi and 6G.  Some of the discussions have been edited by LiFi Tech News:

“WiFi, 5G and 4G use the radio spectrum. However, the radio is very limited, sparse and expensive, and needs to be allocated in every generation of cellular standards. The light spectrum is 3,000 times larger than the entire radio spectrum, is free and available everywhere.”

“If you look around, you’ll see lots of light sources. All of them could be a high-speed transmitter of gigabit data connectivity in homes, in streets, essentially everywhere.  We are modulating high-speed data on a light carrier, which could be infrared or visible light or UV. Any light we can think of could be used for high-speed data communications.”

“The LiFi standard will allow interoperability and seamless links between different vendors. Companies will start really integrating light antenna modules being shown here today into phones of the future.”

“You can really isolate LiFi signals from one room to another, and that provides a unique feature. And that provides physical layer security.”

“When you talk about 6G, you talk about connectivity and the cyber-physical continuum. But that means a tremendous amount of data going from point A to B. And you want to do this in real-time for autonomous systems, robots, daily medicine, and others. It must offer high speed, high reliability, and low latency. And we have the light spectrum, which is 3,000 times larger than radio and is free. Why don’t we use it?”

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.”
