Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems
High Performance, Real-Time Data Link
Our Li-Fi Grathus® enables wireless data transmission using light over short distances with data rates of 1 Gbps and higher. With a range of over 5 meters and ultra-low, deterministic latency well below 100 ns, it is ideal for time-critical industrial applications. The system supports bi-directional, full-duplex communication without interference and is compatible with industrial Ethernet standards such as Profinet, EtherCAT, EtherCat-G and SERCOS III. Thanks to its plug-and-play capability and compact design (85 × 45 × 65 mm), it is easy to integrate. Interfaces include Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0/3.1, and customizable options, while an additional side channel at 1 Mbps and Laser Safety Class 1 compliance ensure safe and flexible operation..
