Li-Fi uses visible light communication and provides wireless internet access by transmitting data through LED light bulbs. It has several advantages over traditional Wi-Fi including much higher bandwidth, higher security since light cannot pass through walls, and availability in places where Wi-Fi signals cannot reach like airplane cabins or underground areas. Some disadvantages are that it requires line of sight and only works where there is light. Potential applications include use in hospitals where Wi-Fi can interfere with medical equipment, in vehicles to reduce accidents, and using street lamps as free wireless access points. Li-Fi aims to solve capacity and availability issues facing current wireless networks.
