Customers and technical constraints LiFi not LED enterprise life-saving straw

According to the daily economic news, 0.2 seconds to download a high-definition movie, real-time communication rate can be up to 50Gbps, the key technology of visible light communication breakthrough let capital circles begin anchaoyongdong.

The reporter found out, not only overseas giants first layout, A stock market has a number of listed companies have dabbled in visible light communication business, but most companies have not made substantial progress to thickening performance.

In this case, the domestic patent giant, visible light is thought to have been at the forefront of the industry of Shenzhen KPS Innovation Technology Co. Ltd (hereinafter referred to as Shenzhen KPS) related projects are helpless stranded.

According to informed sources, Shenzhen TV LiFi products since the end of last year has to stop the application of R & D and production, the reason is the technical barriers of LiFi and industrialization lags behind.

When the popularity of LiFi can be realized, the vice president of Shenzhen KPS Zhang Haiqiang admitted to reporters, the next 5 years, the popularity of LiFi is very difficult, there is still a lack of standards and technology, industrialization is related to money, earnings, market reaction is still very slowly climbing. "

LED companies ready to move

Capital is often very sensitive to new things.

In the context of the slowdown in the development of the LED industry, a number of domestic LED manufacturers are looking for a new path of transition, and the use of LED visible light to achieve wireless communications (LiFi) has become a big magic weapon LED manufacturers".

The reporters found that the traditional LED companies involved in LiFi and a few, such as Sanan optoelectronics, KingSun, Fudan Fuhua industry leader is competing layout.

An optoelectronic disclosed in the 2015 semi annual report, the company in July 11, 2015 with the Shanghai aerospace electronic communications equipment Research Institute signed a "strategic cooperation agreement, and agreement, mutual development and promotion of indoor and outdoor LED lighting intelligent communication (LiFi) products, strategic cooperation for a period of 10 years.

KingSun also in September 27, 2013 will be the business scope of the new "visible light communication", and disclose the progress of visible light communication technology research and development company in April this year. KingSun 2014 annual report shows that its two subsidiaries involved in visible light communication services.

In addition, Fudan Fuhua also clearly revealed the company involved in the research and development of visible light communication.

Honglitronic also recently on an interactive platform on investors reply said, research in visible light communications in 2013 and the relevant universities jointly launched, but now in the optical communication technology (LiFi) research is still in the stage of laboratory research.

China Merchants Securities Research Report Analysis, the domestic LED industry is facing product homogeneity, intense competition, the key core technology issues. The breakthrough of LiFi technology will help Chinese LED enterprises to open up a new competitive situation and realize the industrial transformation and upgrading. "

In addition, the communications business enterprises and chip system vendors such as ZTE, HUAWEI and other companies have been committed to the research of this technology. The industry believes that, compared to small and medium enterprises, such large enterprises, although the study, but the promotion of relatively conservative industrialization.

A long-term study of Dr. Chi Rui Billiton researcher Xu Ran VLC believes that the future of visible light communication pattern of the market will show a diversified development trend, which will rise LED lighting equipment for high speed data transmission based on the visible light communication, will also have the support of visible light communication (low rate applications such as indoor positioning, augmented reality)

Business breakthroughs will take time

Known as the "new technology" of Shenzhen KPS also visible light communication "calls".

Corporate intellectual property operation senior analyst Ling Zhaohua shares the extraordinary patent data provided by Shenzhen TV in the world currently visible light communication field layout patent three most institutions, ranked second, with approximately 150 patents, in addition it is South Korea's Samsung Electronics, and Matsushita, respectively 300 and 110.

The reporter understands, Shenzhen KPS in H shares and A shares market are capital platform, but its visible light communication are not included in the listed company. The reporter saw at the Shenzhen TV official website, about the solution of photon and photon based products, which cover applications including visible light communication technology in the solution.

According to Shenzhen TV official website describes that the photon coverage indoor light transmitted through secure complete text, images and audio data, provides a new way of information interaction and communication, very suitable for various kinds of high secrecy communication needs high stable environment, and has good safety, energy saving and environmental protection, low cost etc..

However, a once in Shenzhen says work insiders told reporters, in the seemingly with industrial prospects and commercial value of LiFi technology, Shenzhen KPS as early as last year is no longer applied research and industrialization. According to its disclosure, the main reason for customers and technology in two areas.

LiFi is still in the research and development stage, the lab can achieve 1G per second transmission, but to the experimental equipment miniaturization, maturity, and finally industrialization, requires a lot of investment and research and development. The industry believes that the whole industry has not been to promote the giants, the industry is still a long way from the product stage.

Zhang Haiqiang told reporters that Shenzhen TV LiFi is guided by the market, before some breakthrough, but the market demand is very high, technological breakthroughs in commercial products also need time, the company will continue to do research in this area, basic technology
