What is li-fi, how does it work

Today we are going to introduce you to another such technology, which you have not heard about, then today we will talk about what technology is this about LI-FI

which has not started to be used much yet.  But this is a wireless communication system, so that you can transfer any data very quickly. 

Nowadays WiFi is used which is technology based on radio wave and LI-FI is light based technology.

1. What is LI-FI

What is li-fi, how does it work

The full name of LI-FI is light fidelity, which means that any data is transferred from a Visible Light communication and it has a high speed which is much higher than WiFi.

With this, you can send 224 gigabit data in a second.  This term was used in 2011 and some light bulbs are used in it which act like a wireless router.

Later, in 2012, research was started on this and after about 4 years, in 2016, this technology was started to be used.


2. How does LI-FI work

Both LI-FI and WiFi are used to transfer data which works on electromagnetic signals.  Radio web is used in WiFi and data is transferred using visible light in LI-FI. 

As we told you that LI-FI is a visible light communication system.  This means that a photo detector is used to transfer and receive any data that converts the data back into the same form and reads it to our computer on our device.
What is li-fi, how does it work

Our LED bulb is a semiconductor that supplies light to us, when we give it less electricity, its light also gets reduced and when we give it more electricity then its light becomes more and so  The way this visual light communication system works.

For example, suppose you have sent some data to the LED bulb and a photo detector is placed in front of you so that your data is converted again and sent to your router so that your signal can spread all over the place. 

Changes to the LED bulb are all calculated by the photo detector, and later that type of data speed is given and this is how the LI-FI system works.

Started research on this in 2012 and after about 4 years, in 2016, this technology was started to be used.


 Li-Fi Future


As we told you earlier, LI-FI started working on it from November 2012 and in November 2014 pioneers joined their pioneers pureLiFi to French lighting company.  

Pioneers is still in the market for pureLiFi's two products, including the Li-Flame Ceiling Unit that is connected with an LED light system and the Li-Flame Desktop Unit that connects via USB to a device that connects  You can easily transfer any data. 

 As soon as new changes are made in this technology, it will begin to be used.  This is a very good technology, your signal strength will not be reduced in this and you will be able to use the internet with high low speed easily.


3. What are its advantages, disadvantages

Benefits of Li-Fi

With this, you can transfer data at high speed. This will give you the strength of proper signal. For this use you need a light bulb.


LI-Fi Disadvantages

This is an expensive tool. To use it, you have to keep LED bulbs ON at all times. Power takes a lot.
