LI-FI is 100 Times Faster Than WI-FI Using LED, Bulbs: After
the great success of wireless data transfer technology, now a new
discovery is coming which is new generation data transfer way.
Scientists gave Li-Fi name to it and Li-Fi is a wireless communication
way, which uses lights ( Visible Lights Communication) for transmit
data. It is tested in a working office and they found that Li-Fi is 100
times faster than average speed of Wi-fi system. Suppose you entered in
your room and switch on your bulb and you not only start the source of
light but also internet data for your phone or other devices. Isn’t
crazy and Interesting
?
Scientists also claim that they are
achieving speeds of up to 224 gigabytes per second in the lab using
Li-Fi earlier in this year. Now to test this new generation data
transfer way, scientists have taken Li-Fi out of the lab for the first
time in offices and industrial environments in Tallinn, Estonia. And
after testing They are claiming that they can achieve speeds of up to 1
Gb per second. So can imagine that now we can touch the speed of 100
time faster than which we are currently using in this world.

The company named Velmenni in Tallinn tested this method in this
week and Velmenni used a li-fi-enabled light bulb to transmit data at
speeds of 1Gbps. Speaking to the International Business Times, chief
executive Deepak Solanki said that the technology could reach consumers
“within three to four years”.

“We are doing a few pilot projects in
different industries where we can utilize the VLC technology,”
Velmenni’s CEO Deepak Solanki told IBTimes UK.
“Currently we have designed a smart
lighting solution for an industrial environment where the data
communication is done through the light. We’re also doing a pilot
project with a private client where we’re setting up a Li-Fi network to
access the Internet in [our] office space.”
What is Li-Fi?
Li-Fi technology uses Visible Light
Communication (VLC), a medium that uses visible light between 400 and
800 terahertz (THz). It works basically like an incredibly advanced form
of Morse code – just like switching a torch on and off according to a
certain pattern can relay a secret message, flicking an LED on and off
at extreme speeds can be used to write and transmit things in binary
code – IndianTimes
Li-Fi Invented By
The Li-Fi technology was invented in
2011 by a German physicist named Harald Haas, who describe his idea
about using light bulbs as wireless routers during a TED Talk. He
claims that with a flickering light from an LED, one could transmit more
data than a cellular tower. You can see the video about this below.
French Tech company Oledcomm is working to
install Li-Fi technology in local hospitals. Good news according to the
source for the consumers is that Li-Fi technology will be launch in
next three or four months and people can access Li-Fi i mean internet
access from their light bulbs in their homes.
