It's different than wifi. It's Light Fidelity.
It's high-speed bi-directional wireless communication using lightwaves from LED instead of radio waves to access the internet.
In your facilities, with countless more connected devices and expansion of Internet of Things (IoT), shared bandwidth is already creating interference and security problems.
Philips LiFi systems offer a new way to connect wirelessly using LED light. Data is sent through light waves that are modulated at the light source and received via an integrated infrared sensor. By plugging into a LiFi internet zone users can access and transfer data instantly by using a simple personal USB access key. The LiFi zone is completely secured within the pool of light created by the LED luminaire.
Philips LiFi systems offer a solution that can be fully integrated in the total lighting system, without compromising on lighting quality and performance.
LiFi enabled Philips luminaires are equipped with the special modem, modulating the LED current. Customized integration is possible with various Philips luminaires for a wide variety of applications. Among our first LiFi enabled luminaires we offer Philips PowerBalance gen2 as well as Philips LuxSpace downlight. Philips PowerBalance gen2 can be used for wider coverage in work-space areas of the office or schools while Philips LuxSpace downlight is more suitable to create a secure LiFi zones for hospitality areas.
