Hey Everyone, hope you're fine, A new wireless technology called Li-Fi is being developed today, where internet speeds are gradually increasing. How does this technology differ from our current capabilities?
Today, Wi-Fi technology, which enables us to access the internet wirelessly, is found in almost every digital product. This technology, developed over the years and brought to much better places, however, is insufficient in some places. To do this, scientists are developing a new technology called Li-Fi that enables the transmission of data using light.

Li-Fi technology transfers data in an electromagnetic manner just like Wi-Fi. The key point is that Li-Fi uses visible light while using Wi-Fi radio waves. In order to work properly, this new technology, which is classified as Visible Light Communication Systems, requires a light-receiving photo-detector and equipment to process and convert the received signal into transferable data.
Because the LED lamps are a semiconductor, the energy delivered can be reduced and increased in a short time that cannot be detected by human beings. In this direction, the data that can be transmitted by the signal processing equipment to be found in the LED lamp will be sent with small differences in light rays and will be collected by a photo-detector (photodiode) on the device side.
The transferred data will then be processed and converted to binary data and will be available to use on the Internet, video and audio files that we use in daily life.
It is a question of when this technology will become widespread among users. Firstly, the infrastructure that will allow Li-Fi to work should be established and then the users will have to acquire the devices that can work with Li-Fi. The disadvantage of this is that the LED must always be switched on to take advantage of Li-Fi technology.

What are the benefits of this technology?
- Since it doesn't use the radio frequencies that are too busy in the world we live in, Li-Fi enables 10,000 times more capacity than Wi-Fi.
- It allows the implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT) by enabling more than 100 devices to be connected to the Internet with a single dispenser device.
- It provides 100 times of energy-saving by performing data communication and lighting tasks on a single device.
- It eliminates all health problems that Wi-Fi can cause, such as headaches, cancer, and more.
- Stay tight: Li-Fi technology delivers data transfer rates of 224 Gbps per second.
