Visible-light wireless communication is also known as "optical fidelity technology". The English name is Light Fidelity (LiFi) is a new wireless transmission technology which uses the visible-light spectrum (such as light emitted by a light bulb) for data transmission. Chairman of the Department of Mobile Communications, School of Electronic Communications, University of Edinburgh, UK, a German physicist, professor Harald Hass invented it.
LiFi is a device that uses laid-out devices (ubiquitous LED lights) to make terminals readily accessible to the network by implanting a tiny chip into the bulb to form a device similar to the AP (WiFi hotspot). The technology transfers data by changing the flickering frequency of the room's illumination light, so long as the lights are turned on indoors, it can be connected to the Internet without WiFi.
LiFi uses visible light for wireless communications, which uses electrical signals to control the high-speed flickering signals emitted by light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that are invisible to the naked eye to transmit information.
More convenient:
Electromagnetic interference does not occur without relying on radio waves. So you don't have to shield electronics to connect to the Internet on an airplane, and that's a big piece of good news. In addition, LiFi technology works more or less like Morse cryptography, making it easier to connect to the Internet in remote areas than WiFi. So LiFi can be used in unexpected places, such as coal mines, where coal miners can use Lifi to use GPS, make phone calls or surf the Internet.
More secure:
Because of LiFi's advantage, some nuclear power plants and industrial bases in France have been attracted by LiFi technology, including OpTImal SolTIons. Fabien Ruiz, the company's innovation director, explains that WiFi is currently banned from nuclear power plants in France, and is rarely used in the interior of the company's offices and power stations. The reason for this is, first of all, that these areas are large and the walls are very thick. WiFi coverage is relatively complex, but more importantly, these areas are sensitive from a security point of view.
More environmentally friendly:
LiFi is good news for people with electromagnetic wave allergies, because it does not produce electromagnetic effects and can be used in the medical community. LiFi technology is also being considered in a small town 350 kilometers west of Washington state that has no electromagnetic waves at all and is a natural haven for people with electromagnetic wave allergies.
Faster:
From the point of view of speed, Lifi is also much better than WiFi, and its speed is 10 times faster than that of WiFi.
