Iveda announced the launch of its commercial-grade, AI-driven Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) product. This product is the newest addition to Iveda's smart city portfolio. Iveda's solution adds UV lights to standard HVAC vents for quick, easy and inexpensive deployment to homes and commercial buildings.

Leveraging existing air circulation system, Iveda Smart UVC vents will disinfect the air by irradiating UV light on the passing air. This eliminates manually disinfecting offices, meeting rooms and other work spaces. Until herd immunity through vaccination and previous infections is achieved, technologies like Iveda Smart UVC in mass deployments can make a significant difference in getting back to some semblance of normalcy, especially in the workplace.

In a study, conducted at the University of Milan and the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics, researchers have found that it is possible to completely inactivate COVID-19 virus using short wavelength Ultraviolet (UVC) Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI).
