LiFi review

Ok for a change I would like to discuss something about the current technology
and today I would discuss a somewhat old technology but still new to the ears
I mean this technology has been existing for a while but still not widely used and it still sounds like something from sci-fi for other ears
I am talking about the innovative technology for wireless technology wherein you use lights to transfer data yes my friends it exist and it is called Li-Fi

"Li-Fi is a label for wireless-communication systems using light as a carrier instead of traditional radio frequencies, as in Wi-Fi. The term was first used in this context by Harald Haas in his TED Global talk on Visible Light Communication. The technology was demonstrated at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas using a pair of Casio smartphones to exchange data using light of varying intensity given off from their screens, detectable at a distance of up to ten metres. In October 2011 a number of companies and industry groups formed the Li-Fi Consortium, to promote high-speed optical wireless systems and to overcome the limited amount of radio-based wireless spectrum available by exploiting a completely different part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The consortium believes it is possible to achieve more than 10 Gbps, theoretically allowing a high-definition film to be downloaded in 30 seconds. Li-Fi has the advantage of being able to be used in sensitive areas such as in aircraft without causing interference. However, the light waves used cannot penetrate walls. Later in 2012, PureVLC, a firm set up to commercialize Li-Fi, will bring out Li-Fi products for firms installing LED-lighting systems." Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li-Fi

pretty soon we shall see this image on our favorite coffee shops or fastfood stalls. Just imagine using light rather than traditional radio waves for transferring signals. The implication of this technology is boundless since light is faster than radio waves its transfer speed should be faster than traditional Wi-Fi Technology

here is the official website for this technology: http://www.lificonsortium.org/

for me this technology should be applied soon, it has good advantage since you could replace your light bulbs in the office with LEDs which makes your lights dual purpose, I like stuff like that. who knows how far this technology could take us and I am actually looking forward to what happens to technology in the future and how far mankind could go... anyways thank you for taking time to read this and how you were informed hahaha Take Care guys
