Bandwidth

The maximum amount of data transmitted over an internet connection in a given amount of time.

Bidirectional LiFi Product

LiFi product that provides two-way communication: an uplink and a downlink. The goal is to provide a fully functional wireless network system reliant on Li-Fi, enabling mobility with handover capabilities, multiple access, and high transmission speeds. The LED in Bidirectional products acts as the network access point and must be connected to a backbone network using the Ethernet to provide networking capabilities.

Bit Error Rate - BER

The percentage of bits that have errors relative to the total number of bits received in a transmission usually expressed as ten to a negative power.

Body Sensor Network - BSN

A particular class of wireless sensor network intended to operate in a pervasive manner for 'on-body' applications. Generally, BSNs consist of multiple sensor nodes worn close to or on the body.

Broadband

The transmission of wide bandwidth data over a high-speed internet connection.
