CHINESE SCIENTISTS MADE POSSIBLE FASTEST MODE OF COMMUNICATION:LI-FI

The possibilities of LI-FI technology are numerous but it is still in its infancy. Professor Chi Nan’s research team is presently working in this technology which includes scientist from the Shanghai Institute of Technical physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The technology needs further improvements in microchips designing and manufacturing as well as light communication controls which are in experimental period. Professor Chi’s team is planning to show 10 samples of LI-FI kit at the China International Industrial Fair in Shanghai on 5th November 2013. When LI-FI will be put to use, it will prove to be and boon for the whole world but there is still a long wave to go to making it commercially successfully.  

LI-FI: THE FUTURE TECHNOLOGY AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT

As we use Wi-Fi in our daily life, we have seen that speed is a major concern. This drawback of lower speed can be overcome with the advent of the new technology known as LI-FI whose speed is normally 1Gbps which can be extended to 10Gbps.Li-Fi is data transmission through LED bulbs.LI-FI refers to a type of VLC technology that delivers a networked, mobile, high speed communication solution in a similar manner like WI-FI. Optical wireless enjoys certain advantages over radio waves like economical cost, high speed, secure which is the reason for it being a popular area of research.
