Wieland Electric in Bamberg is investigating how the technological benefits can be utilized in industrial environments.

Stephan Lauer, Business Development Manager Light & Building Industry at Wieland explains: "The high data rate is not the only argument for using the new technology in industrial environments. The error-free and uncomplicated transmission with LiFi where radio waves or cables make data transmission difficult is much more important."
