LI-FI is 100 Times Faster Than WI-FI Using LED, Bulbs

          

           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.
Stay Tuned for More Updates :)
