VIOLIN: Visible Light Communications in Communications, Marketing, Transport, Logistics, Cultural and Tourist Industries

ESPA EN

The utilization of technology VLC for high-speed in-house communications constitutes the object of this project. This technology is applicable in places of high requirements for connectivity (airports, technological parks, multipurpose rooms), in promotional and advertising places (such as exhibitions), in supply chain management and product distribution places (logistics), even in places of high cultural and creativity interest (such as museums). The goal is to implement innovations of visible light technology in a number of market segments. In particular, the application targets on approaching the employees / visitors of these places giving them the opportunity to use their gadgets (laptop, tablet, mobile phone) in order to get information. LiFi consists a system based on communication throughout the visible light (Visible Light Communication (VLC)). Simply, the transmitters will be LEDs, which will be flashing as quickly as not being perceived from the human eye. The recipient will be a light-eye which is going to collect the light and a device which will translate the LED’s flash sign into 0 and 1, in a “streamable” language perceivable from the computers.
