IoT enabled sensor node

Project Description

Optical Wireless Communication for Mass Deployment of IoT-devices — In couple of years, more than 50 billion devices will connect more than 7.6 billion people with exponentially increasing connectivity demand. It is expected that mass deployment of IoT devices will require data traffic that cannot be met by radio frequency-based wireless technologies alone. Optical wireless communication (OWC) will be needed to create high-density and high-capacity indoor IoT networks. Our project is to build several sensor nodes and one OWC hub to demonstrate this idea.
