What’s Li-Fi?
Li-Fi, which stands for Light Fidelity, is a new
type of fully networked wireless technology that’s said to be 100 times
faster than Wi-Fi and that provides a series of advantages that iPhone
users could benefit from too.
Although at this point it’s still in development and
several companies have been trying to bank on Li-Fi for their devices,
it continues to be an experimental feature that’s yet to arrive on any
device on the market.
Li-Fi uses visible light to transfer data between
devices, with a light sensor installed on the device responsible for
converting the information received into an electronic signal.
This
method is said to provide transfer speeds of up to 224 gigabits per
second.
And yet, Li-Fi creates new opportunities for owners
of devices with such capabilities, as light sources such as the regular
bulb in your house can also play the role of data transmitter to your
phone.
The signal is invisible to the human eye, but the transfer speed
is clearly higher than the one of standard Wi-Fi.
