Li-Fi Consortium

 

            
next generation optical wireless communication solution

 

Li-Fi is a wireless optical networking technology. That technology  uses    light-emitting diodes (LED) for data transmission.  The purpose of Li-Fi is that to use LED light bulbs similar to those currently in use in many energy-conscious homes and offices. Whereas , Li-Fi bulbs are outfitted with a chip that modulates the light imperceptibly for optical data transmission. Li-Fi data can transmitted by the LED bulbs and received by photoreceptors.

Li-Fi has the benefits  of being able to be used in electromagnetic sensitive areas like  in aircraft cabins and nuclear power plants without causing electromagnetic interference.

There are a lot of Benefits of Li-Fi such as :

*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.
*Eliminates neighboring network interference..
*Does not create interference in sensitive electronics, making it better for use in environments like hospitals and aircraft.
*Unimpeded by radio interference
*Prevents  piggybacking

By using this technique    (Li-Fi) in all the lights in and around a building, the technology could enable greater area of coverage than a single Wi-Fi router
