OLEDCOMM LiFiMax 100mbit/s Li-Fi, data over invisible light

Posted by – January 8, 2019

I did my first video about Li-Fi and about OLEDCOMM 5 years ago here it helped bring attention to this new technology, that basically functions a bit like Fiber light based data, but wirelessly. One LiFiMax access point and it’s USB receiver can transmit 100mbit/s download and 40mbit/s upload, using invisible light. Their system srefreshes the LED light in a pattern up to billions of times per second that can be recognized and read by the receiver wirelessly in a room. This can remove the issue of interference that there is with Wi-Fi, and the waves of this system may also be less harmful, more secure and perhaps more efficient than Wi-Fi.

Jetcomm Technologies Showcases New Technology at Display Week 2018

Posted by – June 17, 2018

Start-up Jetcomm Technologies, Ltd. demonstrated its LiPHY web browser app, which can receive Li-Fi visible light communication signals with high speed and accuracy. Using the LiPHY app, users simply point their smartphones at objects or points of interest in the physical world to instantly access the corresponding online contents. This helps uses save time by avoiding online searches or QR code scans while they shop, travel or browse in the real world. Venue operators use LiPHY’s platform for providing user-friendly O2O interaction, augmented reality and indoor positioning.
