Why Media has some good news on the back of Li-Fi we can now add more to a website with this technology and no load-up or speed challenges.
Li-Fi, or Light Fidelity, is a wireless communication technology that uses light to transmit data. It is a promising alternative to traditional Wi-Fi, offering a number of advantages, including:
- Faster speeds: Li-Fi can theoretically achieve speeds of up to 224 Gbps, which is significantly faster than the current Wi-Fi standard (802.11ac).
- More secure: Li-Fi is inherently more secure than Wi-Fi, as data is transmitted using light, which is not easily intercepted.
- Lower power consumption: Li-Fi uses less power than Wi-Fi, making it a more energy-efficient option.
- These advantages make Li-Fi a potentially disruptive technology that could change the way we use the internet. For example, Li-Fi could be used to provide high-speed wireless internet access in areas where Wi-Fi is not available, such as in aeroplanes or underground tunnels. It could also be used to create more secure wireless networks, such as in hospitals or financial institutions.
The Future of Li-Fi
Li-Fi is still a relatively new technology, but it is rapidly gaining traction. In recent years, there have been a number of major developments in Li-Fi, including the development of new Li-Fi chips and the launch of commercial Li-Fi products.
As of just recently, The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers has added 802.11bb as a standard for light-based wireless communications. This formalisation will speed up the development and rollout of production-ready systems.
As Li-Fi technology continues to mature, it is likely to become more widely adopted. This could have a significant impact on the way we use the internet, making it faster, more secure, and more energy-efficient.
Carl Piper, Agency Partner at Why Media comments "Li-Fi has the potential to revolutionise the way we use the internet. It will allow for larger data transfers, opening up numerous possibilities that weren’t a consideration previously".
In conclusion, Li-Fi is a promising new wireless technology that has the potential to change the way we use the internet. With its faster speeds, greater security, and lower power consumption, Li-Fi could make wireless internet access more data-rich, ubiquitous and affordable. We are excited to see how Li-Fi develops in the years to come.
