High-speed and secure Li-Fi technology will soon replace Wi-Fi

According to The Verge website, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has unveiled a new IEEE 802.11bb communication standard that covers the nascent Li-Fi technology. Instead of using wireless network signals, this technology uses infrared light to send an optical signal at a speed 100 times faster than Wi-Fi.

Light can send signals to its destination without radio interference and is therefore a better option than Wi-Fi. PureLiFi’s One optical antenna system, introduced in February, already uses this technology. This module can be used in smartphones and its manufacturer claims that its data transfer speed is more than 1 gigabit per second.

Although the range of the mentioned optical antenna is only 10 feet and its viewing angle when receiving the signal is only 24 degrees, but the download speed of this module is 224 Gbps, which is much more than 30 Gbps of Wi-Fi 7 technology. Li-Fi technology is also at a higher level in terms of security and is much more useful than Wi-Fi in areas such as virtual reality products, augmented reality and gaming thanks to its higher speed and lower latency. It is expected that we will see the use of this technology in different devices in the future.
