Wireless communication using solar energy
Light is used to transmit high speed data and the solar panel is LiFi-enabled to be a receiver – as well as energy harvesting, the solar panel provides energy for LiFi Technology and is a broadband receiver.
This latest news was covered by BBC Radio Scotland ‘Evening News Drive’ in an interview with Professor Harald Haas on Wednesday 11 November 2015.
There has been great interest in this latest prototype developed by the LiFi Research and Development at the University of Edinburgh, and first announced in the TEDGl0bal London in September 2015, including:
