Layman's description

ELIoT drives the suitability of Optical Wireless Communication and LiFi a step further, to make it more suitable for a high-speed, reliable Internet of Things. Signify, chip maker Maxlinear, Nokia, KPN, Deutsche Telecom and Fraunhofer join in this Innovation Action to enhance the ITU g.9991 LiFi standard. Handover of the communication from one ceiling light point to another or towards existing radio is addressed at several layers in the network.

Key findings

Distributed MIMO in which multiple access points in the ceiling cooperate resolves a commonly heard concern that optical wireless communication is very sensitive to blocking the light.

Access Project

Interview with Prof. Jean-Paul Linnartz, who is leading the project ELIoT on behalf of Signify and TU Eindhoven. What light – instead of radio waves – can do for the Internet of Things is to be invented in this European project, which revolves around a technology developed by Signify that uses LiFi, a next-generation wireless communication network that sends information through light beams instead of via radio waves, as is the case with WiFi.
