Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) is a wireless optical networking technology that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for data transmission. Research on Li-Fi began in the 1990s and it was publicly introduced in 2011. Li-Fi provides wireless connectivity through visible light and has several advantages over traditional Wi-Fi including higher speeds of over 10Gbps, more secure communication as light cannot penetrate walls, and energy efficiency. Li-Fi has many potential applications in areas where radio frequencies are regulated or restricted like on airplanes and in hospitals. While challenges remain around line of sight requirements and inability to penetrate solid objects, Li-Fi shows promise as a greener, faster alternative to traditional wireless technologies.

Good afternoon to all
Here I am introducing a new emerging technology light fidelity
Most of the people among may be unaware about these
As wireless fidelity called wifi, light fidelity is called lifi
it is an optical version of wireless communication
and is the future of wireles communication, and have the possibility to change entire communication system
The transmission of data through illumination by taking the fiber out of fiber optics
It has got wide varities of applications
Actually The researches has begun in 1990s
This technology was Publicly introduced in 2014
Lifi is wireless and optical
It is the next level of communication, called fifth generation optical communication
In 2011 global ted talk, prof.harald haas, recognized as founder of lifi , demonstrated a prototype
Li-Fi is the term some have used to label the fast and cheap wireless communication system, the optical version of Wi-Fi.
The term was first used in this context by Harald Haas in his TED Global talk on visible light communication.
Lifi is devloped by a of scientists including Prof.harald haas, mustafa afgani' dr.gorden povey
Lifi is bidirectional, high speed and fully networked wireless communications similar to Wi-Fi. Also
is a subset of optical wireless communications (OWC) and can be a complement to RF communication (Wi-Fi or Cellular network), or a replacement in contexts of data broadcasting.
Lifi uses visible light to communicate instead of radio waves by illuminating LEDs
Visible lights are omnipresent
On street light – cars – homes – office – everywhere
Utilising these advantages delivers us internet everywhere
Which is faster, cheaper, energy efficient
Imagine your are in a lab of a big company, doing a secret project
. And you are using radio wave wireless communication
The Radio waves penetrate through walls, it’s a good thing but
Regarding the security issues, some body who got bad intentions
Can hack through the signal and can stole your data
2G, 3G, 4G All Are Running Out Of Spectrum
Uk research report says that, if the LEDs of red green blue are placed in a ultra parallel array which possess an ultra parallel transmission by altering the three led frequencies
How it is done…
It is achieved by o-ofdm
Optical Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is a method of encoding digital data on multiple carrier frequencies. O-OFDM has developed into a popular scheme for wideband optical communication,
This scheme used as a optical digital multi-carrier modulation method.
A large number of closely spaced orthogonal sub-carrier signals are used to carry data[1] on several parallel data streams or channels.
Each sub-carrier is modulated with a conventional modulation scheme (such as quadrature amplitude modulation or phase-shift keying) at a low symbol rate, maintaining total data rates similar to conventional single-carrier modulation schemes in the same bandwidth.
Bluetooth 4mbps
Wifi 800mbps
4G 1Gbps
Usb 3.0 5Gbps
Lifi 10Gbps
Wysips crystal component is photo detector
It not only receive data but also charges phone
15% increased battery life
For a long time, medical technology has lagged behind the rest of the wireless world. Operating rooms do not allow Wi-Fi over radiation concerns, and there is also that whole lack of dedicated spectrum.
While Wi-Fi is in place in many hospitals, interference from cell phones and computers can block signals from monitoring equipment.
Li-Fi solves both problems: lights are not only allowed in operating rooms, but tend to be the most glaring (pun intended) fixtures in the room.
And, as Haas mentions in his TED Talk, Li-Fi has 10,000 times the spectrum of Wi-Fi, so maybe we can, delegate red light to priority medical data. Code Red!
Airline Wi-Fi, Nothing says captive audience likes having to pay for the "service" of dial-up speed Wi-Fi on the plane. And don’t get started on the pricing.
The best have heard so far is that passengers will "soon" be offered a "high-speed like" connection on some airlines. United is planning on speeds as high as 9.8 Mbps per plane.
Uh, we have twice that capacity in our living room. And at the same price as checking a bag, we expect it. Li-Fi could easily introduce that sort of speed to each seat's reading light.
Underwater ROVs, those favorite toys of treasure seekers and James Cameron, operate from large cables that supply their power and allow them to receive signals from their pilots above.
ROVs work great, except when the tether isn’t long enough to explore an area, or when it gets stuck on something. If their wires were cut and replaced with light — say from a submerged, high-powered lamp — then they would be much freer to explore.
They could also use their headlamps to communicate with each other, processing data autonomously and referring findings periodically back to the surface, all the while obtaining their next batch of orders.
It is developer kit
The possibilities are numerous and can be explored further.
If his technology can be put into practical use, every bulb can be used something like Wi-Fi hotspot to transmit wireless data and we will proceed toward the cleaner, greener, safer and brighter future.
The concept of Li-Fi is currently attracting a great deal of interest, not least because it may offer a genuine and very efficient alternative to radio-based wireless.
As a growing number of people and their many devices access wireless internet, the airwaves are becoming increasingly clogged, making it more and more difficult to get a reliable, high-speed signal.
This may solve issues such as the shortage of radio-frequency bandwidth and also allow internet where traditional radio based wireless isn’t allowed such as aircraft or hospitals. One of the shortcomings however is that it work in direct line of sight
