Li-Fi uses light bulbs to deliver speeds 100x faster than Wi-Fi
Move over Wi-Fi.
Welcome Li-Fi, a super-fast alternative to WiFi.
Li-Fi is a wireless technology that transmits high-speed data using Visible Light Communication (VLC).
Estonian startup Velmenni has begun to offer the Li-Fi technology in a commercial setting.
The technology uses VLC, a medium that uses visible light between 400 and 800 terahertz (THz).
The main benefit of Li-Fi over Wi-Fi, is the increased privacy and security which it offers.
Research teams around the world are working on just that.
Further, French tech company Oledcomm is in the process of installing its own Li-Fi technology in local hospitals.
The Fraunhofer Institute, a German research organization, has been working on Li-Fi hotspot prototypes as well.
Even NASA recently announced plans to study Li-Fis potential uses in space travel.
The incandescent lightbulb delivers illumination, Haas says.
In 20 years, the [LED] lightbulb will deliver hundreds of applications.
