Understanding Li-Fi Technology and Applications

This document presents information on Li-Fi technology. Li-Fi uses LED bulbs to transmit data via visible light communication. It was invented by Professor Harald Haas in 2011 and the first Li-Fi smartphone prototype was shown in 2014. Li-Fi works by modulating the light from LED bulbs to transmit data wirelessly to photoreceptors. It has applications in offices, airlines, rail stations and underwater communication. Li-Fi provides higher data rates than Wi-Fi but light cannot pass through objects. While promising for the future, a major challenge is bidirectional communication.

 Conclusion
 LiFi is a wireless optical networking technology that uses light-emitting diodes
(LEDs) for data transmission.

 LiFi is designed to use LED light bulbs similar to those currently in use in many
energy-conscious homes and offices.

 However, LiFi bulbs are outfitted with a chip that modulates the light
imperceptibly for optical data transmission.

 LiFi data is transmitted by the LED bulbs and received by photoreceptors.


History
 Professor Harald Haas, from the University of Edinburgh
in the UK, is widely recognized as the original founder
of Li-Fi.

 Haas promoted this technology in his 2011 TED Global


talk and helped start a company to market it.

 The first Li-Fi smart phone prototype was presented at


the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas from
January 7–10 in 2014.
How Li-Fi Works?
Real Time Usage of Li Fi

All domestic system is connected with Li-Fi


Comparison between various
Technologies
WIRED
Fire wire 800 Mbps
USB 3.0 5 Gbps
Thunderbolt 20 Gbps

WIRELESS(CURRENT)
Wi-Fi 150 Mbps
Bluetooth 3 Gbps
IrDA 4 Gbps

WIRELESS(FUTURE)
Li-Fi 10 Gbps

Giga-IR 1 Gbps
Wi-Gig 2Gbps
How Li-Fi is different?
 Li-Fi technology is based on LEDs for the transfer of data.

 The transfer of the data can be with the help of all kinds of
light, no matter the part of the spectrum that they belong.

 That is, the light can belong to the invisible, ultraviolet or the
visible part of the spectrum.
Applications

Li-Fi is used in Airlines


Communication in Deep Water

Li-Fi is used in Rail Station Li-Fi is used in Office


Advantages
 High data transmission rates of up to 10Gbps can be achieved.

 Li-Fi has low implementation and maintenance costs.

Disadvantages

Light can't pass through objects.

A major challenge facing Li-Fi is how the receiving device will


transmit back to transmitter.
Conclusion

 The possibilities are numerous and can be explored further.

 If his technology can be put into practical use, every bulb can be
used something like a Wi-Fi hotspot to transmit wireless data and
we will proceed toward the cleaner, greener, safer and brighter
future.
