We demonstrate experimentally that optical wireless (OW) links using an infrared LED can meet the bitrate, distance and latency requirements for low-cost small-cell wireless backhaul in Long-Term Evolution (LTE) mobile networks.

We highlight new applications for optical wireless communication (OWC) as a mobile backhaul for WiFi, LTE and 5G and as a new access technology in the Internet of Things (IoT) where it enables secure and reliable communications at low latency
