The Future of Internet Technology: Light Fidelity (LIFI)

Abstract

It is always feel bad when the slow speed of internet network leads to limited or restricted to connectivity and long processing hours while using wireless internet either at home network or coffee shop or airport or competing for bandwidth at a conference. As more and more users are tapped in with their devices, the clogged airwaves make it difficult to latch on a reliable signal. What if we can use such type of waves other than Radio waves to internet surf ? Radio wave are to be fully exploited and other spectrum needed to be explored. In this direction, Dr Harold Haas, a German physicist proposed an idea called �Data through Illumination� in which he used fiber optics to send data through LED light bulb. The idea is very similar to infrared remote controls but it is more powerful.
