The principles behind visible light communication
Visible light communication (VLC) is a technology that, in certain applications, offers significant benefits over the more commonly used radio frequency (RF). Apart from the obvious use to transfer data from one point to another, VLC is attracting a lot of interest for its ability to provide highly accurate and safe indoor positioning systems.Mike Sandyck, Product Marketing Manager, onsemi further explores.
Power over Ethernet based indoor positioning systems
With its ability to deliver over 90W of power in a safe and efficient manner, Power over Ethernet (PoE) has been a key growth driver of connected lighting systems. Combining this with the advantages of visible light communication (VLC) allows the development of extremely safe, high performance, indoor positioning systems that can offer better performance than RF-based solutions in certain application areas.
