LI-FI - An reasonable and Eco-Friendly choice

Together with the advances in technology, every day a new idea will be nurtured in some one's mind that might change the way we function. One such earth breaking idea popped in the mind of any amazing Professor in University of Edinburg, UK, Harald Haas back in 2003. His idea was to use Light Emitting Diodes as a medium to copy data from one system to another. This subject became widely popular after his TED Talk in 2011.

Now, the question of the hour is what exactly is LI-FI?

LI-FI is a shorthand representation for Light Fidelity. Fidelity as per a dictionary will be faithful. As per the name, it might be safely said that this technology functions on a light.

Basically, it is a possible various to Wi-Fi. While Wifi uses radio signals easily, LI-FI is the idea of using obvious Light Spectrum.

Getting into details, LI-FI works with the LED lights that are converted into wireless transmitters. To receive data from these lights, we desire a copier Schutz sticker of sorts, that functions like a modem. This kind of dongle can be linked to a laptop or a tablet. They could be linked to the tablets or laptops through USB Plug-ins. There is a messfühler in the modem that catches the light arriving down, and then an infrared component that delivers the signal back in the light source.

The LED Lights have a marketing component that allows multiple users to get linked to a single light source and provide the potential to move from one source of light to another without losing the connection.

The permanent target of the innovator is to get this technology inside various devices and lighting grids. In order to make this technology widely adaptable, it is necessary to compress the dongle into an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) or SoC (System on a Chip), to make it easily incorporated into various devices like touch screen phones, laptops, tablets, accessories and more.

Advantages of Adopting LI-FI

As light doesn't enter through walls, this technology allows the users to create secure networks with much higher security.

• The effectiveness of the network can be increased with increasing a number of light options. This can lead to a much efficient network.
• Once these sensors and dongles become more acceptable, we can use a low cost, low electricity consuming and environment-friendly technology in our day-to-day lives.
• LI-FI has the calibre to enhance it is a capacity to transfer the info at a rate that can be roughly 75 times of Wi-Fi technology by the use of laser LEDs.
• The LI-FI network allows the users the roam around the room or any place in the installed super grid.
• LI-FI adoption can decrease the strain from the existing networks and free the bandwidth for outdoors.

LI-FI might seem to be an improved option than existing Wi-Fi system, but it is actually complimenting it. It will take a nominal of 10 - 12-15 years for the technology to be incorporated into our day to day lives.
