Oledcomm Made The Announcement of Appointing a Co-CEO, Pierre-Jean Beylier
Pierre-Jean Beylier as Co-CEO
On Monday 12th September 2022, Oledcomm, the expert in high-speed connectivity through invisible light (LiFi), has announced that Pierre-Jean Beylier has joined the company as Co-CEO, alongside Benjamin Azoulay, President and Co-CEO, and will focus primarily on strategy, business development and marketing. As LiFi is becoming a must-have wireless broadband technology, thanks to its absolute security, low latency and stable connection, Oledcomm is adding the skills of an entrepreneur recognised in the space and Defence industry, with a very international experience, especially in the United States and Asia-Pacific, as well as a track record in mergers and acquisitions and fundraising.

Pierre-Jean Beylier, a graduate from EMLYON and USC (MBA), co-founded Speedcast in 2000 in Hong Kong, a company specialising in satellite communications and providing connectivity services and solutions, particularly to the oil industry, the Maritime sector and Defence customers. First in charge of business development and then from 2004 as CEO, Pierre-Jean built a global leader in satellite communications through strong organic growth and 16 acquisitions. He also led Speedcast's IPO in Sydney in 2014, which reached a market capitalisation of over $1 billion at its peak. When he left Speedcast early 2020, the company had over $700 million (£600 million; $690 million) in revenue, with 1700 employees in 40 countries.
Pierre-Jean Beylier, Co-CEO of Oledcomm, said the following: "I had the chance to meet Benjamin when I joined the Oledcomm Board at the end of 2020. I have been impressed by what Benjamin and his team have achieved. Oledcomm has a very innovative, mature technology that addresses new and critical needs in a number of sectors, including Defense and Space, areas I know well. I was looking for a new entrepreneurial challenge where I could bring my experience and I am therefore very happy to join Oledcomm in an operational role after having spent almost two years helping on the Board. Benjamin and I share the same passion and a common vision for Oledcomm. Oledcomm has a fantastic growth potential, which we now need to realise, and I am very motivated by this new challenge.”
Benjamin Azoulay, CEO of Oledcomm, stated: "I admire Pierre-Jean's inspiring entrepreneurial achievements and when I heard that he was ready for a new entrepreneurial challenge, I did not hesitate for a second and am delighted that he accepted the role of Co-CEO of Oledcomm. During our numerous exchanges on the Board of Oledcomm, I could see how much we share human values, a culture of growth, a passion for innovation and a common ambition for Oledcomm, while being very complementary in our fields of expertise. After having been laureate of the prestigious EIC Accelerator competition at the end of 2021, we have reached a milestone and are now preparing the arrival of the European Innovation Fund (EIC fund) in our capital. I am convinced that the Co-CEO structure has a bright future in the management of companies and is perfectly suited to Oledcomm’s future growth challenges.”
Oledcomm
Oledcomm designs and develops LiFi network interface devices that enable high-speed wireless data communication. It also serves LiFi equipment in the telecom, datacom, personal electronics, and industrial markets. The company’s product portfolio includes hubs, routers, switches, adapters, drivers, power supplies, and more.
Oledcomm was founded in 2012 and is based in Paris, France. Oledcomm's adventure began in 2005 in the research laboratories of the University of Versailles-Saint-Quentin with the first work on communication by visible light.
Following years of research & development and a passion for innovation, Oledcomm became the pioneer of LiFi (Light Fidelity) solutions and innovation on a global scale.
Based in the Paris region, Oledcomm employs around 20 people and designs complete solutions for LiFi operation, including microcontrollers, LiFi photoreceivers and software platforms.
Today, after more than 28 patents, 15 years of R&D, over 500 trusted clients and several awards, Oledcomm is pursuing a strong mission: to transform the 14 billion points of light in the world into a powerful communication network.
Li-Fi Conference 2022
The Li-Fi Conference 2022 Edition was a great success. Li Fi Tech News will very soon write articles on the topics treated at the Conference.
What is LiFi?
LiFi, also known as "Light Fidelity" is a wireless optical networking technology, which uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to transmit data. In 2011, professor Harald Haas made a LiFi demonstration at the TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) Global Talk on Visible Light Communication (VLC).
VLC uses light as a medium to deliver high-speed communication like Wi-Fi and complies with the IEEE standard IEEE 802.15.7. The IEEE 802.15.7 is a high-speed, bidirectional, and fully networked wireless communication technology-based standard similar to Wi-Fi's IEEE 802.11.
How does LiFi work?
LiFi is a high speed, bidirectional, and fully networked wireless communication of data using light. LiFi constitutes of several light bulbs that form a wireless network.
When an electrical current goes through to a LED light bulb, a stream of light (photons) emits from the lamp. LED bulbs are semiconductor devices, which means that the brightness of the light flowing through them can change at extremely high speeds. The signal is sent by modulating the light at different rates. The signal can then be received by a detector that interprets the changes in light intensity (the signal) as data. Also when the LED is ON, you transmit a digital 1, and when it is OFF, you transmit a 0.
LiFi Benefits
The primary benefits of LiFi are as follows:
• Security: Provides entirely secure access. Where there is no light there is no data.
• Safety: Does not produce electromagnetic radiation and does not interfere with existing electronic systems.
• Localisation: Allows localisation due to the small coverage area of LiFi access point - localisation can be used for very precise asset tracking.
• Data density: Provides ubiquitous high-speed wireless access that offers substantially greater data density (data rate per unit area) than RF through high bandwidth reuse.

LiFi Systems Reviews by LiFi Tech News
OLEDCOMM LIFIMAX KIT REVIEW - ONE YEAR IN
We reviewed the LiFiMax kit produced by the leading French LiFi company Oledcomm. We bought this LiFi kit system at the end of 2020. After over a year of use, we decided to write a review of this LiFi system. We looked briefly at the profile of Oledcomm, a brief history of the LiFiMax system, the Kit box contents, some testing and performance results of this LiFi system, the customer experience and our own verdict (the good and the bad points) of the LiFiMax kit.

SIGNIFY TRULIFI 6002.1 STARTER KIT SYSTEM REVIEW
We also reviewed the Trulifi 6002.1 starter kit produced by Signify, the world leader in lighting for professionals, consumers and lighting for the Internet of Things. We got this LiFi kit system with the help of PCDSI and Signify around August 2021. In a similar fashion done with our previous review of the LiFiMax kit a few months ago, we will look briefly at the profile of Signify, a brief history of the Trulifi 6002.1 kit, the Kit box contents, some testing and performance results of this LiFi system, the customer experience and our own verdict (the good points and the bad points) of the Trulifi 6002.1 kit.
