LiFi Installation at The Olimpia Primary School

The works for installing the LiFi network in the Olimpia Primary School were completed at the end of August 2022.
The new system allows high-speed Internet browsing by using data transmission technology through infrared rays, thus avoiding the spread of electromagnetic waves in the environment. This is in mind to protect the health of pupils, teachers and school staff.
The Mayor, Angela Barbieri, appreciated all those present for their participation, commenting with satisfaction on this important step forward: “We participated with interest in the Call for School Services for the Wireless Zero EMF Local Network. The project obtained funding from the Marche Region for a total amount of € 59,999.60 for the construction of a wireless LiFi network at this school, providing for interventions and supplies of equipment for 4 classrooms used as laboratories/libraries for an equal area of sqm. 165, which later became 268 with the extension of the signal coverage area also to the open space for common activities. We have eliminated radio frequency emissions in almost all school environments by using the modulation of light waves rather than potentially harmful radio magnetic waves. Therefore, the commitment of the Municipality of Montefano for a connected, fast, safe and sustainable future is realised”.
After the greetings of the Headmaster Professor Greco, who spoke about how school infrastructures must be enhanced by services, Engineer Massimo Trojani, RUP for the Marche Region, stated the following: “It is now possible to combine broadband services with highly digitised services. What is the first principle of Public Administration? It is a precautionary measure with a view to protecting the health of citizens. This can be done through LiFi networks. We know that, especially under the age of 10, it is very important to implement precautionary systems regarding exposure to electromagnetic waves."
Giuliano Mazzarini of Studio STEP in Jesi, commissioned by the Municipality for the technical design of the network, stated that thanks to the new technologies that now make it more accessible also from an economic point of view, the LiFi system can take up space in many areas.
For the LiFi installation, the Municipality of Montefano has entrusted the Aura Taitle company of Bologna, the leader in Italy with the implementation of innovative projects in which light, connectivity, energy and sustainability are functional elements for safety and human well-being. Ulrik Bertelsen, the CEO, illustrated through a video the peculiarities of the LiFi network and the many opportunities it can offer.
The meeting concluded with a hands-on demonstration in one of the LiFi-equipped classrooms. If you look closely at the photo on the right, you will see one LiFiMAX tab on one of the desks.

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.
