LED Lights Maybe Use As A New Carrier Network Transmission

The researchers of a Germany Applied Research Institute will combine wireless networks and optical, then LED lights can use as a network device in ordinary living room to help user's smart phone or computer to receive or send data. Allegedly, This technology research can make use of flashing LED lights transmit data from the air. The transmission speeds can reach up to 1,000 megabytes per second. And in three different colors of LED lighting to express different transmission data rate.

The Institute's researchers said that they personally thought that the first test of the technology will be put to use in meeting room, exhibition, industrial production environment as well as hospitals and other places which is more professional.

But they also said that such technology will lead to a series of prombles. For example, if the LED lights are use battery powered, which means that within a short range of the received signal will be better. Another problem is that the strong sunlight will affect the LED light signal receiver, which is used in outdoor LED apparatus will having some damage. As the distance changes, its performance will change, out of the range of 20 meters can only at speed of 20 megabyte per second s.

In addition, the visible light communication also requires line of sight communication conditions, after all, the light can’t penetrate walls with functional. But  to coordinate all LED lights inside the house, you can still received signals from any corner of the room.


The limitations of this research is that not every user wants must have a head glowing LED lights when they are using phone or computer to receive the signals, But the research team said that will research and developed invisible infrared LED light in the future.
