Signify uses desk lamps for data transfer

Signify, or Philips Lighting, as it used to be called, has just launched a new line of lighting called Trulifi. These smart health connected lamps use light waves to send and receive data wirelessly throughout the workplace. A new way to connect our devices to the internet.

Signify's Li-Fi technology has been around for a few years and promises fast and secure data transfer in large or small spaces. It is particularly suitable for sites where wireless radio frequency systems encounter difficulties or are not authorized; such as industrial facilities and hospitals, while reducing the burden of congested Wi-Fi networks in offices.

Signify indicates that the Trulifi system optical transceiver can be integrated into new lighting or can be retrofitted into existing Philips lighting. This technology is capable of facilitating 150 Mbps wireless connectivity throughout the office or meeting room for downloads and uploads; which is faster than radio signal configurations such as Wi-Fi, wireless mobile networks, or Bluetooth.

For more demanding applications, a fixed point-to-point system is available in the range, which could allow wireless transfer speeds of 250 Mbps.

The configuration uses energy efficient LED lighting and wireless optical transceiver technology. It uses 128-bit AES encryption. Also, Signify also indicates that the system works whether the lights are on, off or off.

Until professional equipment supports Li-Fi technology, end users will need to connect a USB access key to a laptop to use the Trulifi system. Very good news for all those who wish to Review this technology. Personally, I think I will soon install some in the office to Review.
