Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) is a Wi-Fi-like, high-speed, two-way wireless communication technology. The term was coined by Harald Haas and is a form of visible light communication and a subset of wireless optical communications (OWC) and could be a complement to RF communication (Wi-Fi or cellular networks), or even a replacement in contexts Broadcast data. It is a communication of visible light uv, or infrared and almost ultraviolet instead of spectrum radio-frequency, part of wireless optical communications technology, which carries much more information and has been proposed as a solution to the limitations of RF bandwidth.
Li-Fi technology will enable faster and more reliable Internet connections in the future, even when the demand for data usage has exceeded the availability of existing technologies such as 4G, LTE and Wi-Fi. It will not replace these technologies, but will work perfectly with them. The use of light to provide wireless Internet will also enable connectivity in environments that currently do not support Wi-Fi, such as aircraft cabins, hospitals and hazardous environments. Light is already used for data transmission over fiber-optic cables and for point-to-point links, but Li-Fi is a special combination of innovative technologies that allow universal adoption of mobile high-speed Internet communications.
