San Diego-Based LiFi Innovator Firefly Wireless Networks Receives Visit from the Mayor of Dresden, Germany to Discuss "Internet of Things" (IoT) and LiFi Development
Firefly Wireless Networks, a manufacturer of Visible
Light Communications (VLC) LiFi
products, announced that the company received a visit from Dresden,
Germany Mayor Dirk Hilbert and Dr. Robert Franke, Director of Economic
Development. Firefly management met with the Dresden officials at its
San Diego headquarters and discussed Firefly's continued success
utilizing both U.S. engineers and the German-based engineering team of
Firefly venture partner Teleconnect GmbH of Dresden which is led by Dr.
Andreas Bluschke, who also serves as Firefly's Chief Technology Officer.
"We are honored and delighted that Dresden Mayor Dirk Hilbert and Dr.
Robert Franke took the time to visit Firefly and discuss ongoing
cooperation on growing Firefl's business by utilizing resources and
talent on both sides of the Atlantic," said Dr. Heinz Willebrand, CEO of
Firefly Wireless Networks. "During our meeting, we demonstrated our
latest SecureLink 2.0 LiFi solution that uses ceiling-mounted
access points which transmit to tabletop units using light instead of
radio frequency WiFi (News - Alert) transmission, which is prone to eavesdropping,
interference, and RF congestion. This creates a much more secure
wireless network ideal for corporate and government conference rooms, as
well as for applications in which data transmission speed and
unsurpassed signal security are essential."
Firefly also recently demonstrated its Gigabit capacity LiFi
system-which is the world's fastest commercially available LiFi
solution-at the Broadband World Forum in Berlin.
"Firefly Wireless Networks, which has emerged as a leading manufacturer
of Visible Light Communications and LiFi solutions, is an excellent
example of cross-Atlantic cooperation between American firms and
companies in Germany," said Dresden Mayor Dirk Hilbert. "International
technology companies have invested EUR 4.5 billion in the high-tech hub
Dresden and we are excited to play a role in one of the hottest
technology trends emerging today-LiFi communications-which utilize light
to transmit data rather than WiFi."
