Abstract: Li-Fi (light fidelity) technology uses light waves instead of radio technology to deliver data. Li-Fi is a bidirectional, networked, mobile, high-speed data communication technology that complements Wi-Fi and features the benefits of greater capacity, security, and energy efficiency. At this session, learn how University of Edinburgh researchers have shown that solar cells can be used for Li-Fi detectors and have demonstrated speeds of up to 45 Mb/s. This provides a new avenue for self-powered autonomous wireless transceivers. Also see demonstrations of the huge opportunities Li-Fi and solar cell receivers have created for the Internet of Things.
Speaker: Harald Haas, University of Edinburgh, Professor of Mobile Communications, Li-Fi R&D Centre
