Thanks for the various responses

Also adding http://www.oledcomm.com to my originals and Philips that was 
suggested.

Will certainly be interesting and fun if it goes ahead.

I"ll tell them to try green lightbulbs, might be cheapest get a roll of green 
cellophane for existing lights. Good question though, It seems early on I can't 
see much Green gain, although the switch to LED lighting can be big this can be 
achieved with out li-fi... but that seems one of their points.. utilise 
existing energy systems rather than installing new ones. As it won't replace 
wifi, you still need wifi.

I did find this pretty interesting.wikipedia alert.  "The first VLC 
smartphone prototype was presented at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las 
Vegas from January 7–10 in 2014. The phone uses SunPartner's Wysips CONNECT, a 
technique that converts light waves into usable energy, making the phone 
capable of receiving and decoding signals without drawing on its 
battery.[39][40] A clear thin layer of crystal glass can be added to small 
screens like watches and smartphones that make them solar powered. Smartphones 
could gain 15% more battery life during a typical day. The first smartphones 
using this technology should arrive in 2015. This screen can also receive VLC 
signals as well as the smartphone camera.[41] The cost of these screens per 
smartphone is between $2 and $3, much cheaper than most new technology."

I just saw that Philips was introducing their LiFi product on Monday the 19th.  
Looking at the details which are lacking, it looks like 30Mbps per user which 
if it is sustainable might not be too bad.  They are using a USB dongle adapter.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Li-Fi Projects?

2018-03-21 Thread Frans Panken 
We have a Li-Fi setup running (bought from purelifi). Do not expect larger 
speeds than 30 Mb/s in the up- downstream directions while one or two clients 
are connected (we only have equipment for two clients). Nice thought for demo 
purposes. No line-of-sight, no network connection. I think upstream works with 
IR. We are in the process of installing two lamps in a small meeting room.

Howdy,

Has anyone been involved in any Li-Fi installs? We’ve been asked to investigate 
it under a green projects idea.

It seems these are the main vendors.
