All the devices we are using are getting connected to the Internet giving rise to the #Internet of Things (IoT) and almost all the devices are connected through wireless medium. Wi-Fi plays a major role there. Recently a new technology has been invented by researchers.
Wi-Fi uses radio signals and thus they can be affected by external attackers and at the same time any client can be removed from the access point without connecting to it (Deauthentication attack), to solve all these problems #Li-Fi has been invented.
The idea behind Li-Fi is using light to transfer the data and it can be accomplished by having a LED light at the routers and then data can be transmitted at an increased rate.
Researchers have been running many tests and achieved the transfer rate of 1 Gbps which is 100 times larger than the existing Wi-Fi technology.
The technology uses visible light so it cannot penetrate through walls. It is stated that using this technology speed of 224 Gbps can be achieved which is much more greater speed.
To watch the full details about the technology you can view the introduction of this technology by a speaker in Ted conference. You can find the link here.
