From February 26 to March 3th, I have been lucky to attend the Mobile World Congress that takes place each year in Barcelona. This is the world’s largest event for the mobile industry, organised by the GSMA, where the leading companies (Huawei, Qualcomm, Orange, Vodafone, …) unveil their latest innovations and strategies.

On February 21th, I presented our Off-the-shelf Bi-directional Visible Light Communication Module for IoT Devices and Smartphones during the posters and demos session at EWSN that has been held in Uppsala, Sweden.

From February 15 to 18, I attended the Snowcamp 2017 in Grenoble, France. During this software developer conference I gave an advanced talk about Bluetooth Low Energy and a brief popularization talk about Visible Light Communication.

From October 3th to 7th, I attended the prestigious ACM Mobicom that has been held in New York.

The paper “Unleashing the Power of LED-to-Camera Communications for IoT Devices”, co-authored with Razvan Stanica, Hervé Rivano and Adrien Desportes, has been accepted for publication at the VLCS 2016 workshop, to be held at New York, USA, on October 3, in association with the prestigious ACM MobiCom 2016.
Furthermore, the LED-to-smartphone camera communication system proposed and studied in this paper will be presented during the VLCS demo session.
