<strong>Visible</strong> <strong>Light</strong> <strong>Communication</strong> (<strong>VLC</strong>) - A <strong>Potential</strong> <strong>Solution</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Global<br />
Wireless Spectrum Shortage<br />
Description:<br />
“<strong>Visible</strong> <strong>Light</strong> <strong>Communication</strong> (<strong>VLC</strong>) - A <strong>Potential</strong> <strong>Solution</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Global Wireless Spectrum Shortage”,<br />
provides <strong>the</strong> key information and analysis on <strong>Visible</strong> <strong>Light</strong> <strong>Communication</strong> technology and market. <strong>Visible</strong><br />
<strong>Light</strong> <strong>Communication</strong> or <strong>VLC</strong> is a method by which <strong>Light</strong> Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are used <strong>to</strong> transmit data<br />
using visible light as a transmitting medium. With <strong>the</strong> increasing usage of data over mobile phones and<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r wireless devices, spectrum shortage appears <strong>to</strong> be a real problem for which <strong>VLC</strong> can be offered as a<br />
potential solution. This solution is explained in detail in <strong>the</strong> report.<br />
<strong>VLC</strong> technology can be used in a number of applications or end user segments like wireless networking,<br />
intelligent traffic management systems, home networking system, powerline communication and<br />
underwater communication.<br />
<strong>VLC</strong> technology based devices primarily use LEDs, Op<strong>to</strong>-couplers and Image Sensors as components and<br />
each one represents a unique industry that has tremendous growth potential due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> rise of a new<br />
technology. <strong>Visible</strong> <strong>Light</strong> <strong>Communication</strong> based products are primarily dependent on efficient and low cost<br />
LEDs for fast data transmission rates and this is an important fac<strong>to</strong>r in <strong>the</strong> faster launch of commercial <strong>VLC</strong><br />
based devices. The report explains each component type accompanied with revenues and forecasts till<br />
2015.<br />
The authors estimate that globally, around $100 million is invested in <strong>the</strong> research of <strong>Visible</strong> <strong>Light</strong><br />
<strong>Communication</strong> technology and even major companies are conducting trials on <strong>VLC</strong> for incorporating in<br />
future products. This report explains in detail about <strong>the</strong> various key players in both <strong>the</strong> pure research<br />
centers of institutes and <strong>the</strong> commercial companies globally.<br />
This report is built using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary<br />
research and in-house analysis by a team of industry experts.<br />
