An Industrial View on LiFi Challenges and Future

LiFi is becoming increasingly popular in both academic and industrial circles. Therefore, several companies developing LiFi products, among which Oledcomm, have emerged over the past few years so that market feedback is now available. In this paper, the recurring feedback we identified, as LiFi vendor, are first detailed. The main use cases and existing products are then reviewed, with a specific focus on the LiFiMAX solution for secure indoor networking. Finally, ongoing standardization and ecosystem development initiatives are discussed, along with some of the major technical challenges that remain.
