The Pervasive Wireless Systems Group has presented important advances in the creation of sustainable wireless communication systems. This represents a new step towards making battery-free devices a reality, through the convergence of two emerging technologies: LiFi and radio frequency (RF) backscatter. Potential applications include smart homes, smart cities, and smart agriculture. It is expected that […]

Borja Genovés, Project Manager of ENLIGHT’EM, was invited to give a talk at The University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC). He was presenting the research work we are developing in ENLIGHT’EM and the most recent results we have reached. Then, Borja showed a demo of a real use case where the user requests a battery-free […]

The European Researchers’ Night (24 September 2021), funded under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions and Horizon 2020, brings researchers closer to the public, especially for non-expert people and young students. The event provides researchers the opportunity to showcase science’s diversity and its impact on citizens’ daily lives and stimulate interest in research careers. Some ENLIGHTEM ESRs participated […]

Two of our project results have been published in Scientific Journals. This is a great success for our ESRs Tilahun Gutema and Burak Özyurt, as the main authors of the publications. The following are the details: Ozyurt, Burak; Popoola, Wasiu “Mobility management in multi-tier LiFi networks” IEEE Journal of Optical Communications and Networking Vol. 13, Issue […]

The increasingly widespread diffusion of LED lighting systems offers the opportunity to integrate lighting systems and high-speed network connectivity infrastructures. As part of the H2020 Marie Curie Sklodoswka ENLIGHT’EM project, the University of Palermo participates, among other things, with the development and fine-tuning of embedded systems that integrate communication techniques with visible light and radio […]

The ever-increasing number of connected devices is demanding the need for new communication techniques that do not consume much power and, ideally, autonomous devices that operate without using any battery. Batteries are harmful to the environment, due to their chemical components. Can you imagine a world without batteries? Researchers of IMDEA Networks are working to […]

The event 5 was celebrated on the 8-9 of July. The activity focused on fostering the entrepreneurial spirit. Toshiba provided an open training session on research exploitation covering topics of key relevance for successful startups and large organizations such as IPR generation, standardization and commercial exploitation of results. Alongside this event, we take the opportunity […]

The ENLIGHT’EM project continues its training events this summer. The event 4, organized by The University of Edinburg and pureLiFi on the 16-18 of June, was originally planned as an in-person event, but due to the travel restrictions was held virtual. The purpose of this event is two-fold and leverages the close-by location of The […]

The ENLIGHT’EM project is organizing the workshop “Internet of Lights (IoL)” co-located with MobiSys 2021 on the 25th of  June 2021. The workshop is part of the project Event 6 that will be celebrated next October. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to share early-stage ideas and […]
