Global Optical Wireless Communication Market Definition
Optical Wireless communication refers to the form of communication in which infrared (IR) unguided visible or ultraviolet (UV) light is used to carry a signal. Optical Wireless Communication is also known as visible light communication, operating in a visible band 390-750nm. It takes advantage of LEDs ( light emitting diodes) which can be pulsed at very great speed without noticing the effect of lightning output or to the human eyes.
VLC can be used in a wide range of applications like wireless local area networks, vehicular networks among others and wireless personal area networks. Terrestrial point-to-point OWC systems also referred as the free space optical systems, operate at the near IR frequencies (750–1600 nm). These systems use laser transmitters, provides a potential solution for the backhaul bottleneck and offer a cost-effective protocol-transparent link with high data rates, i.e., 10 Gbit/s per wavelength.
