OLEDCOMM LiFi modems are the first in the world to equip a commercial aircraft
The OLEDCOMM technology is integrated in the first commercial flight equipped with LiFi and reaches speeds of up to 1 Gbps
Following the success of the demo at the Paris Air Show, OLEDCOMM is the first company in the world to equip a commercial flight with its LiFi technology. An Airbus A321 aircraft flight equipped with OLEDCOMM modems, the only LiFi modems certified in the aviation industry to date, took place today in France from Paris to Toulouse.
The integration of OLEDCOMM modems in the A321 is the result of two years of research and development dedicated to aeronautics. OLEDCOMM thanks its partners for having trusted it to equip its first commercial flight with LiFi. It is the result of a research program supported by France’s Directorate-General of Civil Aviation (Direction Générale de l’Aviation Civile).
OLEDCOMM’s technology is an example of French leadership in research and development. OLEDCOMM, supported by France Brevets, remains extremely vigilant in defending its intellectual property rights, key in the development of this French Tech champion recently ranked by Forbes magazine as one of the most innovative companies in France.
Benjamin Azoulay, President of OLEDCOMM explains: “The development and protection of our technology with a portfolio of more than 20 patents and more than 12 years of R&D positions us as the undisputed leader in the LiFi market. With the industrial production of LiFiMAX, currently available for sale, this product is the most advanced on the market thanks to its 100Mpbs speed, compactness, ease of use and unparalleled spatial coverage.
As part of a European research project, Oledcomm has recently demonstrated its ability to achieve the exceptional speed of 1Gbps and will demonstrate this at the next CES in Las Vegas. It’s something we’re very proud of.”
By equipping flights with LiFi technology, airlines will be able to reduce the carbon footprint of their in-flight entertainment system. LiFi makes it possible to considerably reduce the weight of this equipment and thus reduce kerosene consumption.
