Optical Wireless Technology: An Industrial Perspective

Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) is an emerging technology that enables high-speed, secure, and spectrum-efficient wireless communication using light instead of traditional radio frequencies. Technologies such as LiFi, Visible Light Communication (VLC), and Free Space Optics (FSO) are gaining industrial interest for applications in smart manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, and future 6G networks. This seminar presents an industrial perspective on optical wireless technology, covering its working principles, current advancements, standardization efforts, key applications, and commercialization challenges. I will also present my previous work (products/prototype) developed for different use cases.
