What is Li-Fi or Light Fidelity?

Li-Fi or Light Fidelity LiFi or Light Fidelity is a wireless communication or a Visible Light Communication (VLC) that uses the infrared or visible spectrum for high-speed data communication (Mercer, 2018). It aims at achieving high-speed, secure and fully-networked wireless communications (Haas, 2018). Data is transmitted over Li-Fi by modulating the intensity of light. The light is then received by the photosensitive detector and demodulated in the electronic form. It uses common household LED light bulbs to enable data transfer, boosting speeds of up to 224 gigabits per second (Mundy & Kavanaugh, 2018). LiFi supports multiuser access and user mobility…
