3. FOUNDER OF LI-FI
1) The term Li-Fi was coined by, Professor
Harald Haas
2) Ted-globalTalk back in 2011 where he
demonstrated Li-Fi for the first time.
4. LI-FI (LIGHT FIDELITY)
• Li-Fi is high speed
bidirectional networked
• Communication of data
using visible lights
• LiFi is a category of Optical
Wireless Communications
(OWC)
•Li-Fi is 1000 times faster
than the Wi-Fi
5. NEED OF LI-FI
• Radio spectrum conjusted,
but the demand for wireless
data doubles each year
• Issues regarding radio
spectrum, such capacity,
availability, efficiency, security
are solved using Li-Fi
• Speed of data transmission
can be increased

7. HOW IT WORKS…?
• All the data from Internet is streamed into lamp
driver.
• Data from internet is used to modulate the intensity
of LED light source.
• Thus by fast and subtle variations of current, optical
output can be made to vary at extremely high speed
• The photodetector picks up the signal
•The receiver dongle then converts the tiny changes in
amplitude into a data stream
8. Li-Fi NETWORK
• Li-Fi connector and router are the main
components for a network
• Room connector:
1. Optical signals cannot penetrate
through walls, in order to provide an
opticalWLAN, rooms need to be
connected with each other
2. Li-Fi room connector is a replicator,
which sends the data stream from one
side of the wall to the other side via an
optical fiber.
3. For smaller rooms, connector act as
the only Li-Fi hotspot in the room
14. 5) Li-Fi can be more useful at the time of
disaster such as earthquake or floods
15. ADVANTAGES
• Data rate greater than 10 Gbps
• Can be used anywhere, even in RF restricted
areas; Since light waves will not interfere with
radio waves.
• Mostly LED light bulbs are used, which
consumes less energy. Hence cost efficient.
• As light waves cannot penetrate through walls,
the data cannot be intercepted;Thus provides
secured communication.
16. LIMITATIONS
• Visible light cannot penetrate through solid
objects.
• Interferences from external light sources like
sunlight, in the path of transmission will cause
interruption in the communication.
• Data transmission can be easily blocked by any
object placed in front of LED source.
17. CONCLUSION
Thus, if Li-Fi technology can be put into practical
use, every bulb can be used as an alternative to WiFi
hotspots. It provides simple, faster and efficient
wireless data communication. Li-Fi will make us to
proceed towards the cleaner, greener, safer and
brighter future.
