LiFi is a wireless technology holds the key to solving challenges faced by 5G. LiFi can transmit at multiple gigabits, is more reliable, virtually interference free and uniquely more secure than radio technology such as Wi-Fi or cellular.
Global Light Communications Standards
The objective is to extend 802.11 to include the light medium. A standard with input across the Wi-Fi ecosystem 802.11bb TG aiming to deliver standard by mid 2021
LiFi in the home will enable simple, secure, reliable and robust wireless communications. Similar to the enterprise environment LiFi can offer data aggregation and wireless offloading. Smart homes can be truly wireless, and users can intuitively understand the best coverage locations by seeing the light. No longer will home users need to worry about "man in the middle" attacks, as they can simply draw the curtains and shut their doors to secure their LiFi networks.
LiFi networks for daily work, conference streaming, remote desktops along with video, can provide an enhanced user experience with the confidence of robust security. The directionality of light propagation can effectively reduce interferences in heavily populated offices. Wireless off-loading to LiFi releases spectrum for connecting other devices.
LiFi offers faster speeds, lower latency and interference-free wireless communications that helps overcome technology challenges allowing VR and AR products to become wire free and reliable.
