Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas) -- Want to save money and energy on lighting and communication systems on your next building project? New Visible Light Communication technology, developed by LVX System (Saint Cloud, Minnesota), can help you accomplish just that.
Visible Light Communication, which simply means transmitting data through a beam of light, will change the way the world communicates, increase internet connection speed, enhance security, and the lights will pay for themselves through energy savings. In a recent interview on ElectricTV, John C. Pederson, CEO of LVX System, explains, "We came up with the idea of transmitting data using light emitting diodes (LEDs)." The LEDs replace conventional fluorescent lighting systems and provide a transmission pathway for any communications device.
LVX System is partnering with the IBEW, which is training electricians to install these systems anywhere in the U.S.

The National Electrical Contractors Association, or NECA, was founded in 1901 and seeks to serve the management interests of electrical contractors in the United States. NECA boasts 119 chapters in all 50 states, four regional offices and a home office in Bethesda, Maryland. NECA maintains its leadership role in the electrical industry through labor relations, training, education, advocacy and research.
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, or IBEW, was founded in 1891 as a means for electrical workers to come together with one voice. Since that time, the IBEW has grown to more than 750,000 members throughout the U.S. and Canada. Through its training, on-the-job skill and professionalism, the IBEW represents the best electricians in the world. The IBEW seeks to organize all electrical workers in the United States into local unions.
