Explanation
Using light to deliver wireless internet will also allow connectivity in environments that do not
currently readily support Wi-Fi, such as aircraft cabins, hospitals and hazardous environments.
Light is already used for data transmission in fibre-optic cables and for point to point links, but
Li-Fi is a special and novel combination of technologies that allow it to be universally adopted
for mobile ultra high speed internet communications.
Using the visible light spectrum, Li-Fi technology can transmit data and unlock capacity which
is 10,000 times greater than that available within the radio spectrum. Tikdam: Easy, in news.
light fidelity so loght as the medium and obviously light is wireless. Faster than wifi that’s why in news
