LiFi: Wi-Fi Revolutionized
Not all wireless communications are created equal.
On aircraft, LiFi will allow connectivity at all times, without creating electromagnetic interference (EMI) with sensitive radio equipment on the flight deck.
Greater bandwidth, more speed. Produces speeds in excess of 100x speeds currently available in Wi-Fi with 1,000x more bandwidth.
Unlike radio waves, light waves are blocked by physical barriers like walls or shaded windows. This makes it possible to contain the signal in an enclosed area, minimizing the risk of network penetration or jamming.
LiFi saves energy by combining two functionalities: Lighting & Connectivity. The same source of your light can be used to transmit high speed data while only using negligible additional power for transmission.
LiFi vs Wi-Fi
Illuminating the Future of Wireless Connectivity
In an increasingly digital world, wireless connectivity is the lifeblood of modern society. As our reliance on the internet deepens, the demand for faster, more reliable, and secure wireless solutions becomes paramount. While WiFi has been the backbone of wireless communication for decades, a groundbreaking alternative known as LiFi has emerged, promising to revolutionize the way we connect and communicate. We will explore the benefits of LiFi and highlight how it addresses the limitations of traditional WiFi technology.
Today we communicate on EXTREMELY congested radio frequency bands that often interfere with each other.
The Age of Wi-Fi:
A Brief Overview
Wi-Fi, short for Wireless Fidelity, has been the cornerstone of wireless communication since its inception in the late 1990s. Operating on radio frequency signals, WiFi routers transmit data through the air, allowing us to access the internet without the need for physical cables. This technology has enabled seamless connectivity in homes, offices, public spaces, and beyond. However, as the demand for data-intensive applications such as streaming, online gaming, and IoT devices has surged, the limitations of WiFi have become increasingly evident.
We already know that Radio Frequency based wireless communications can't support the IoT that is our connected future.
Enter LaserLiFi™️ :
A New Era of Connectivity
LaserLiFi™️, which stands for Light Fidelity, is a groundbreaking technology that utilizes visible light for wireless communication. Developed by Professor Harald Haas at the University of Edinburgh, LiFi harnesses the power of LED lights to transmit data by modulating light signals at high speeds. This innovative approach offers a myriad of advantages that address the limitations of traditional Wi-Fi:
o Speed: One of the most significant advantages of LaserLiFi™️ is its blazing-fast data transmission speed. While Wi-Fi operates in the radio frequency spectrum, LaserLiFi™️ leverages visible light, allowing it to achieve data rates that are orders of magnitude higher than those of Wi-Fi. LaserLiFi™️ can potentially achieve speeds of up to 100 Gbps, which is ideal for data-intensive applications like 4K streaming and large file transfers.
o Security: Security is a critical concern in today's digital landscape. Wi-Fi signals can be intercepted and compromised by skilled hackers, leading to data breaches and unauthorized access. LaserLiFi™️, on the other hand, offers enhanced security due to its reliance on light signals. These signals cannot penetrate walls, providing a level of physical security that Wi-Fi cannot match. This characteristic makes LaserLiFi™️ particularly suitable for environments where data confidentiality is paramount, such as healthcare facilities and government institutions.
o Immunity to Interference: Wi-Fi networks often suffer from interference due to the abundance of electronic devices operating on the same radio frequency spectrum. This interference can result in slower speeds and unreliable connections. LaserLiFi™️, operating on a different spectrum, is immune to traditional Wi-Fi interference, ensuring consistent and reliable performance even in crowded areas.
o Energy Efficiency: LaserLiFi™️ offers an unexpected benefit in terms of energy efficiency. Since data can be transmitted using both invisible and visible light sources, they can also provide illumination. This dual functionality eliminates the need for separate lighting systems, reducing energy consumption and promoting sustainability.
o Limited Health Concerns: While the debate over the potential health effects of prolonged exposure to Wi-Fi radiation continues, LaserLiFi™️ technology is inherently safer in this regard. LaserLiFi™️ relies on light, which has no known harmful effects on human health, making it a more attractive option for environments where health concerns are paramount.
The light spectrum is approx 10,000 x larger than the entire radio spectrum with absolutely NO CONGESTION!
