VLC Technical Seminar Report
INTRODUCTION
New communication technology using Visible Light. Eliminates most drawbacks of transmission via electromagnetic waves outside the visible spectrum.
TRANSMITTING DEVICES
It uses fluorescent lamps (ordinary lamps, not special communications devices) to transmit signals at 10 Kbit/s, or LEDs for up to 500 Mbit/s.
General Characteristics
Eye safety Security : What You See Is What You Send. Health : Harmless for human body Unregulated : no regulation in optical frequency Using in the restricted areas : aircraft, spaceship, hospital
APPLICATIONS
Defense & Security Mobile Connectivity Hospitals & Healthcare Aviation & Underwater Communications Vehicle & Transportation Energy Efficient Communication
CONCLUSION
VLC is a safe technology It has the potential to deliver high data transfer rates. Light radiation neither constitutes nor suffers from electromagnetic interference (EMI) making VLC a very attractive technology. It can be used where security of local communication is important e.g. defense and other applications.
