Cooperation with the Internet giant lighting companies squeezed WIFI vendors living space?

With the rapid development of mobile intelligent terminal, Home Furnishing, networking, communications, lighting enterprises choose giant Internet giants cooperation is no longer what new things: in May 2015, GE teamed up with apple Qualcomm into the networking lighting market; in mid February 2016, the global IT giant CISCO jointly launched Cree Smartcast Ethernet intelligent lighting platform, attacking the networking market; prior to this, CISCO has established a global partnership with PHILPS; in March 15, 2016, PHILPS hand British Telecom Wo Dafeng (Vodafone), the implementation of remote control of intelligent street lamp; March 18, 2016, lighting platform provider Gooee in cooperation with EnOcean networking, together to create a network of Bluetooth intelligent lighting control system; in mid April, HUAWEI and OPPLE lighting signed a cooperation agreement intelligent Home Furnishing; in April 26th, GE's Current. Our $one hundred million acquisition of the famous manufacturers in wireless communications, smart lighting industry Daintree Networks. The traditional lighting companies and telecommunications companies, Internet Co through cross-border cooperation, so as to make up their own network technical flaws, open new markets, to seek a breakthrough on the business. Most people think that intelligent lighting will be combined after the first round by the market, but also has been proposed: the traditional lighting companies and Internet Co cooperation is likely to grab the Wifi manufacturers jobs. As everyone knows, WiFi is one of the main technology of near field communication, but in recent years, a new technology is also very attractive, it is Lifi. LiFi, also known as visible light wireless communication technology, the essence of light and radio waves are a kind of electromagnetic wave, by adding a control light flashing chip in LED lamp, can according to different light rate encoding data, receiver notebook and mobile phone etc. installed on the terminal can receive the data information. That is, where the future is light, there is a network. The data transmission rate of LED can reach 10 Lifi based on Gb/s, the data transmission rate cap can improve the Wifi of 7 Gb/s. The rate of laser transmission data can easily exceed 100 Gb/s. Low latency and higher transmission rate is two Lifi, but Lifi wants to mass popularity, still need to call light network communication environment, communication distance and correlation technology, communication standard is not unified and many other problems. But Lifi's future is still worth looking forward to, comely lighting Optoelectronics Division Chief Engineer Ceng Yueming said: "Lifi is a disruptive technology. From the perspective of energy saving, safety and transmission speed, the amount of information perspective, Lifi should be better than the WiFi, the technology of many foreign enterprises have been developing cooperation, domestic recent HUAWEI and OPPLE lighting may have a breakthrough in Lifi." Tai Ling micro electronic chairman Sheng Wenjun said: "intelligent lighting things in the future is likely to become the backbone of the Internet of things. Although things most of the wireless link, but will still need a similar backbone. In fact, there is a very suitable carrier is a lamp, lights everywhere, some places have lights, indoor, outdoor also; if each lamp can network and other intelligent products surrounding can be through the MESH network access lamp. From this perspective, the first light made of intelligent network, is a very meaningful thing."
