Li-Fi Wireless Technology , diff between Wi-Fi And Li-Fi


Li-Fi means Light Fidelity.
Li-Fi is a Visible Light Communications (VLC) system running wireless communications travelling at very high speeds.

Li-Fi uses common household LED (light emitting diodes) lightbulbs to enable data transfer, boasting speeds of up to 224 gigabits per second.

Difference between Li-Fi and Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi uses radio waves to transfer the data while Li-Fi runs on visible light.

Li-Fi provides 224GB/S gigabits per second leaves Wi-Fi in the dust, Li-Fi's exclusive use of visible light could halt a mass uptake.

Data Trasfer of both device is similar in Li-Fi while Data Transfer  Speed is shared by other device in the Wi-Fi.

Li-Fi signals cannot pass through walls, so in order to enjoy full connectivity, capable LED bulbs will need to be placed throughout the home.

Who are trying to Use Li-Fi?
The first VLC smartphone prototype was presented at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas from January 7–10 in 2014. The phone uses SunPartner's Wysips CONNECT, a technique that converts light waves into usable energy, making the phone capable of receiving and decoding signals without drawing on its battery.

Samsung is a brand which entertaining this Li-Fi technology.

'LiFiCapability' hinting that Apple may integrate Li-fi with iPhones in the future.

Whether or not Li-Fi will live up to its hype is yet to be decided.
