Abstract :
Light has long been used to convey information-often in long and short bursts, as in semaphores-and today´s world is no exception. Researchers recently found a way for users to access the Internet via visible light. LVX System developed a lighting fixture that offers an access point with a clear data channel to whatever backbone system the LVX customer has installed. CEO John Pederson says that unlike RF-based technologies, which can be easily overwhelmed, LVX offers Internet connections via visible light communication through hosting devices found in overhead LED lighting panels. visible light communication can offer a secure, clear connection. LVX´s light based system currently works with LED lighting and isn´t specifically designed for networking.
