Li-Fi GigaDock®

Li-Fi GigaDock® offers data transmission with light over short distances and high data rates. It is particularly suitable for industrial applications. In the context of Industry 4.0, in which ever greater amounts of data are being transmitted, the Li-Fi GigaDock® is suitable for transmission over short distances and a maximum data rate of 12.5 Gbps. Low latencies also enable use in applications with tough real-time requirements. GigaDock is ahighly integrated, minaturized component, which can be implemented in a standard SMD process.
