Visual Light in production
WLAN is being used more and more today. However, industrial users shy away from its use because the radio channel does not allow an unlimited number of users and is subject to many interferences. In our project, we are investigating possibilities to modulate the light of LEDs in such a way that industrially suitable wireless communication is created.
