High speed optical wireless demonstrators in the OMEGA project: Summary and conclusions

Abstract

Two high-speed optical wireless demonstrators were produced within the EU funded framework 7 OMEGA project. One of these operates at 1.25Gbit/s demonstrating high data rates, and the other offering `room scale' coverage at 280 Mbits/s. Details of design, implementation and testing of each are reviewed, together with the challenges of such systems and future directions for work in this area.
