The technology provides solutions for advertising signage through digital visible light, Bluetooth, and pedestrian dead reckoning technology. The team developed a unique Visible Light Communication (VLC) technology, combined with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), which uses the visible light emitted by Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to transmit information signals through the air wirelessly. Users can capture these signals using smartphones and tablets running the LiPHY app by simply pointing their phones at a light source. LiPHY Communications was officially established in 2017 with the help of the HKUST Technology Transfer Centre and Entrepreneurship Centre. LiPHY Communications was exhibited at the StartUp Runway 2021 of HKUST, and it is now applying in theBASE, the Entrepreneurship base of HKUST.

We support the HKUST community by providing a well-established platform to facilitate research and innovation-based academic transfer, emphasise social impact or drive industry development.
