Li Fi Technology
LiFi is a wireless optical
networking technology that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs)
for data transmission.LiFi is designed to use LED light
bulbs similar to those currently in use in many energy-conscious homes and
offices. However, LiFi bulbs are outfitted with a chip
that modulates the light imperceptibly for optical data transmission. LiFi data
is transmitted by the LED bulbs and received by photoreceptors.
LiFi's early developmental models
were capable of 150 megabits-per-second (Mbps).
Some commercial kits enabling that speed have been released. In the lab, with
stronger LEDs and different technology, researchers have enabled 10 gigabits-per-second
(Gbps), which is faster than 802.11ad.
Benefits of LiFi:
- Higher speeds than Wi-Fi.
- 10000 times the frequency spectrum of radio.
- More secure because data cannot be intercepted without a clear line of sight.
- Prevents piggybacking.
- Eliminates neighboring network interference.
- Unimpeded by radio interference.
- Does not create interference in sensitive electronics, making it better for use in environments like hospitals and aircraft.
