“Increasing Integration of VLC for Indoor Communication Applications”
One of the emerging trends in the Free Space Optics (FSO) and Visible Light Communication (VLC) market is the increasing integration of VLC for indoor communication applications, particularly in smart homes and commercial buildings. VLC uses LED lights to transmit data, offering an innovative solution for high-speed communication with minimal interference. This trend is being driven by the growing demand for secure, high-bandwidth data transfer in environments with high radio-frequency interference, such as hospitals, offices, and airports. For instance, Signify, a leader in the lighting industry, has introduced smart lighting solutions that integrate VLC, providing secure and fast data transfer alongside energy-efficient lighting. Additionally, the increasing adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 technologies is pushing the demand for VLC in applications such as smart manufacturing, where data transfer speed and security are crucial. As the need for high-performance communication solutions grows, VLC is positioned to play a significant role in the development of future communication infrastructure.
