Abstract: Learn how networked visible light communications, also referred to as Li-Fi, promises quantum step improvements in area spectral efficiency in 5G cellular networks while exploiting existing infrastructures by piggy-backing high-speed data communication on existing lighting infrastructures. The use of the visible light spectrum for data communication is enabled by inexpensive and off-the-shelf available light emitting diodes (LEDs), which also form the basis of next-generation energy-efficient lighting. You can modulate LEDs at high speeds. With the NI FlexRIO platform, speeds such as 3.5 Gbit/s at 2 m distance and 1.1 Gbit/s at 10 m distance have been demonstrated at the Li-Fi Centre in Edinburgh.
