Sažetak
Hybrid networks are relatively new term in communication technologies that integrates all radio frequency and optical wireless networks in one domain. This paper considers a software defined network comprised of LiFi and WiFi access points (APs) to be used in maritime environment (e.g. LNG terminals and carriers). LiFi can provide a secure connection in areas where standard RF (WiFi) is forbidden or other way impossible to use due to physical restrictions of radio waves. LED light sources can be easily upgraded to incorporate LiFi communication as LiFi AP is a network enabled LED lamp thus enabling communication (e.g. internet) in areas of LNG carrier of terminal where WiFi was not an option. In addition LiFi technology can be used to transmit data throw the sea surface using high power LEDs thus enabling communication between vessels or drones.
