Li-Fi is a wireless optical networking technology that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to transmit data. It was coined by Professor Harald Haas in 2011, who introduced using visible light communication (VLC) technology to transmit wireless data using everyday light sources. Li-Fi works by modulating the intensity of light to transmit data, which is received by a photo-sensitive detector and demodulated back into electronic form imperceptibly. It has advantages like efficiency through using existing lighting, ubiquitous availability anywhere with light sources, and more secure transmission that cannot pass through barriers. However, it also has disadvantages like requiring a light source to transmit and potential interference from other light sources. Overall, Li-Fi

What is LI-FI
is a wireless optical
networking technology
that uses light-emitting
diodes (LEDs) for data
transmission
History
Professor Harald Haas, coined
the term "Li-Fi" at his 2011
TED Global Talk where he
introduced the idea of
"Wireless data from every
light". He is Chairman of
Mobile Communications at
the University of Edinburgh
and co-founder of pureLiFi. ...
VLC technology was exhibited
Harald Haas
in 2012 using Li-Fi
Li-Fi how does it work

allows for data to be transmitted by


modulating the intensity of light, which is
then received by a photo-sensitive detector.
The light signal is then demodulated into
electronic form. This modulation is performed
in such a way that it is not perceptible to the
human eye.
Advantages

Efficiency: Li-Fi works on visible light technology. Since homes and offices
already have LED bulbs for lighting purposes, the same source of light can
be used to transmit data. Hence, it is very efficient in terms of costs as well
as energy. Light must be on to transmit data, so when there is no need for
light, it can be reduced to a point where it appears off to human eye, but is
actually still on and working.
Availability: Wherever there is a light source, there can be Internet. Light
bulbs are present everywhere – in homes, offices, shops, malls and even
planes, meaning that high-speed data transmission could be available
everywhere.
Security: One main advantage of Li-Fi is security. Since light cannot pass
through opaque structures, Li-Fi Internet is available only to the users
within a room and cannot be breached by users in other rooms or
buildings.
Disadvantages
Internet cannot be used without a light source. This could limit the
locations and situations in which Li-Fi could be used.
Because it uses visible light, and light cannot penetrate walls, the
signal's range is limited by physical barriers.
Other sources of light may interfere with the signal. One of the
biggest potential drawbacks is the interception of signals outdoors.
Sunlight will interfere the signals, resulting in interrupted Internet.
A whole new infrastructure for Li-Fi would need to be constructed.
Conclusion
Li-Fi technology has been discussed. From this 5G Li-Fi technology, we can see
that the Li-Fi is an advanced approach on design, having the best ever design of
internet by largely reducing the size of device which transfers data,
implementation- by means of having more than 1.4 million light bulbs all over the
world if replaced by such LEDS can provide feasible access, and last but not the
least enormous applications compared to any other networks in various fields
which cannot be imagined by on use networks. Although there are some
disadvantages, but can be eliminated by careful further research. Li-Fi has
provided a step forward invention in the world of growing hunger communication,
this is safe to all biodiversity including humans and progressing towards a
greener, cheaper and brighter future of technologies.
