VLC is a subset of optical wireless communications technologies. The technology uses fluorescent lamps (ordinary lamps, not special communications devices) to transmit signals at 10 kbit/s, or LEDs for up to 500 Mbit/s over short distances.OverviewIn, visible light communication (VLC) is the use of ( with a of 400–800, of 780–375 ) as a. VLC is a subset of One of the main characteristics of VLC is the incapacity of light to surpass physical opaque barriers. This characteristic can be considered a weak point of VLC, due to the susceptibility of interference from physical objects, bu. The history of visible light communications dates back to the 1880s in, when the Scottish-born scientist invented the, which transmitted speech on modulated.
