About Li-Fi technology:

Li-Fi (light fidelity) a fairly new technology as compared to traditional RF based wireless system is a bidirectional wireless system that transmits data via visible or infrared light. Unlike Wi-Fi, which uses radio frequencies, Li-Fi relies on light waves to transmit data, offering a significant advancement over current wireless networks. It provides reliable high-speed highly secure network both in outdoor and indoor scenarios.

Li-Fi/Light communication (LC) leverages the unlicensed visible and infrared light spectrum to create a bi-directional wireless network that avoids the limitations of radio frequencies, such as congestion and interference. As the demand for wireless data transmission grows, LC offers a solution with unparalleled data speed and bandwidth to enhance the user experience.

Li-Fi is fully networked, and mobile, and can be used in various applications, including internet access, device-to-device communication, and emerging technologies like extended reality. Additionally, Li-Fi provides military-grade security by containing light within a space, preventing external interception and ensuring privacy and security for personal and professional networks.
