LIFI Technology

 

LiFi is a mobile wireless technology that uses light rather than radio frequencies to transmit data. The technology is supported by a global ecosystem of companies driving the adoption of LiFi, the next generation of wireless that is ready for seamless integration into the 5G core. LiFi can deliver multiple Gbps speeds in mobile devices. This next generation technology will drive wireless beyond any current capability, opening up unprecedented bandwidth. 

LiFi provides enhanced reliability enabling interference-free communications and 1000 times the data density, dramatically improving the user experience. LiFi currently offers latency by a factor of three times lower than Wi-Fi and can radically enable innovation, automation, and applications such as AR and VR. Light can be contained, and secured in a physical space. LiFi enables additional control  as LiFi offers precise localisation for asset tracking and  user authentication. 

LiFi is fully networked, and each LiFi enabled light has it a unique IP address which means advanced geofencing can be deployed simply in a LiFi network. RF is vulnerable to interference from a wide range of devices such as cordless phones, microwaves and neighbouring Wi-Fi networks. LiFi signals can be defined by the area of illumination, which means interference is much simpler to avoid and even stop altogether. This also means LiFi can be used in RF hostile zones such as hospitals, power plants and aeroplanes.
