With speeds of 1GBps, the technology could enable a high-definition film to be downloaded in seconds
What is LiFi Then:-
LiFi is a disruptive technology which will shift business models and create opportunities ripe for
exploitation. The dominance and lifetime of LED lighting has created a need for new business models in the lighting industry. The need to offer services, including new payment and financing models, creates an unprecedented opportunity for LiFi.
Test Results: Li-Fi is 100 times Faster than Wi-Fi
An Estonian startup company called Velmenni took the technology out of the laboratories and into the real-world offices, and industrial environments in Tallinn for the first time and, believe me, it's really, really fast.
"We are doing a few pilot projects in different industries where we can utilize the VLC technology,"Velmenni's CEO Deepak Solanki told IBTimes UK.
"Currently we have designed a smart lighting solution for an industrial environment where the data communication is done through the light. We're also doing a pilot project with a private client where we're setting up a Li-Fi network to access the Internet in [our] office space."Who Invented Li-Fi ?
Li-Fi technology was originated in 2011 by Professor Harald Haas of the University of Edinburgh, who demonstrated that, with a flickering light from a single LED, he could transmit more data than a cellular tower. Professor Haas, delivered a TED talk about his technology in 2011, which has attracted more than 1.7 million views.
