Abstract:

Li-Fi is a wireless technology which provides the connectivity within large area network. The main objective of this technology is we can transmit the data using light illumination using light emitting diodes and radio frequency is used in Wi-Fi and LED bulb light intensity is faster than human eye that cannot follow. One germen phycist-Prof Harald Haas an expert in optical wireless communications at the University of Edinburgh, he demonstrated how an LED bulb equipped with signal processing technology could stream a high-definition video to a computer. By using this technology a 1 watt LED light bulb would be enough to provide net connectivity to more than one computers. This technology termed as "light fidelity". This technology provides transfer data more securely with higher data rates and high speed and high intensity. This technology is still under research and further exploitation could lead to wide applications.
