Office LED lighting can also achieve network communications? VisiLink will be listed in Japan

Japan's Outstanding Technology announced in August 18, 2014 that it will begin mass production through LED (LED) flash to transmit information to the network communications system "VisiLink". In terms of form, the LED lighting, which can be installed on the ceiling of the office, is used as the "LAN" type of the Ethernet hub. Plans in September 2014 to start the sales evaluation version, in March 2015 began selling product version.

VisiLink is a visible light network communication system which uses the LED flash as signal. The invention solves the problems of insufficient bandwidth, electromagnetic interference and safety in the communication of the original electric wave. The standardization of this kind of visible light communication system is still in a state of confusion, the company will use its own specifications to promote commercialization and mass production.

First, the introduction of different uses of two products, namely, wireless LAN type and FA type". The former uses office lighting on the ceiling to connect multiple PCs to the network. In other words, you can use the ceiling lighting wireless LAN access point. The latter is envisaged in the factory and equipment used in two-way communication between the two devices.

Look from OS like wired Ethernet adapter

No special device drivers are required when using VisiLink. The USB will be used to send and receive the visible light device is connected with the personal computer, the device is equipped with wired Ethernet and visible light conversion mechanism, from the OS, general cable Ethernet adapter can be used as a USB connection type to operate.

The above two versions of the product are listed on March 2015. Prior to this, will be launched in September 2014, the first edition of the evaluation version, launched in December second edition.

Wireless LAN can be used to set the LED lighting on the office ceiling as an Ethernet hub. Composition and price, master arranged on the ceiling (LED lighting) to 250 thousand yen (about 12 thousand and 500 yuan), USB terminal personal computer is needed for 10 thousand yen (about 500 yuan). Communication distance of 1 meters to 5 meters, communication speed of 5Mbps ~ 20Mbps.

The FA type is a USB connection box device intended to be used in a factory or an embedded device, and can be used for two-way communication between two devices. Price, two sets of 250 thousand yen. Communication distance of 0.1 meters to 100 meters, communication speed of 1Mbps ~ 100Mbps.
