The Perks Of Li Fi Technology Products

By Melissa Young


Li-Fi stands for light fidelity and has revolutionized the speed at which wireless communication travels. So say goodbye to Wi-Fi and hello to li fi technology products. The light fidelity technology arose from the brainchild of a University lecturer Harald Haas who has certainly made his mark in the way communication technology works. We must remember though that despite the thought and planning from Haas, a past inventor Alexander Graham Bell was one who invented the photophone which transmitted talking via flickers of sunlight. It is upon a similar basis that the li-fi technology was based.

Light fidelity is rather similar to Wi-fi itself in that both systems work to transmit data electronically. The only difference being the source that the systems used to transmit the data. Whereas Wi-fi uses radio waves the li-fi system relies entirely on visible light waves. How this works is that it allows for a photodetector to gain light signals which eventually converts data into content that can be streamed.

Surprisingly enough the popular brand Phillips has extended its hand to the li-fi trend and is now offering li-fi products and systems as well. Then again word spread that the ever so popular company Apple would be working to build devices equipped with light fidelity technology.

The light fidelity system is known for its speed. With 224 gigabytes per second download rate, its undeniable that the li-fi system has changed the way we chose to connect to the internet. The speed rate alone is enough to be a deciding factor in choosing the li-fi system or the Wi-Fi that we are used to. We ought to remember with every perk, there are downfalls too and the li-fi system as promising as it may seem is in no way without downfalls.

Public Wi-Fi is still seen as ideal because people in public places can easily and effectively connect to Wi-Fi. With the light fidelity system, this ease of connection in public spaces is much more complicated. In areas where there is limited light bulbs or an outage of light bulbs than obviously, the light fidelity connectivity system suffers the brunt.

A perk of using this system is that it is highly beneficial especially in areas which cannot catch radio frequency easily. In these specific areas, it is ideal to depend on light frequency entirely.

Due to the evolution of connectivity, the connectivity spectrum had to be broadened in some way to incorporate many more users. The light fidelity system has thus taken the future connectivity demands into consideration. In this way, li-fi allows for spectrum utilization that is actually one thousand times greater than the spectrum used for radio frequencies.

Like with Wi-Fi, Li-Fi too has its fair share of advantages and disadvantages. However, one cannot help but take their hat off to the brains behind the creation of light fidelity- Harald Haas. The professor did certainly consider connections in even the most hostile of environments. Needless to say, he took the idea of a secure connection to an entirely new level.
