About Li-Fi
technology:
Li-Fi (light
fidelity) a fairly new technology as compared to traditional RF based wireless
system is a bidirectional wireless system that transmits data via visible or
infrared light. Unlike Wi-Fi, which uses radio frequencies, Li-Fi relies on
light waves to transmit data, offering a significant advancement over current
wireless networks. It provides reliable high-speed highly secure network both
in outdoor and indoor scenarios.
Li-Fi/Light
communication (LC) leverages the unlicensed visible and infrared light spectrum
to create a bi-directional wireless network that avoids the limitations of
radio frequencies, such as congestion and interference. As the demand for wireless
data transmission grows, LC offers a solution with unparalleled data speed and
bandwidth to enhance the user experience.
Li-Fi is fully
networked, and mobile, and can be used in various applications, including
internet access, device-to-device communication, and emerging technologies like
extended reality. Additionally, Li-Fi provides military-grade security by
containing light within a space, preventing external interception and ensuring
privacy and security for personal and professional networks.
