The Advantages Of LiFi Internet

By Kimberly Harris


Over the past few years, there have been quite a number of changes in the wireless technology. These changes have made it possible to do business at the coffee shop as if you are still in the office. People are able to hold meetings with their clients while they are still in their own living rooms. This can be attributed to the use of wireless connections such as Wi-Fi. Recent developments in the technology have enabled data to be transferred by use of light. This light can be visible or ultraviolet. This technology is called LiFi internet and has a number of advantages as discussed below.

One of its primary advantages is speed. When transferring data, the main concern of a user is how fast the data is transferred. No one enjoys slow speeds. Users can enjoy high data transfer speeds never seen before. It is 100 times faster than Wi-Fi. Theoretically, a high definition film can be downloaded in thirty seconds. This faster communication leads to better service quality and better communication.

LiFi is cost-effective in different ways. This is different from setting up a Wi-Fi network where one requires to buy cables and additional hardware. Office buildings can stay connected without the use of cables. The technology uses LED bulbs which means that the ones being used for lighting in an office or house are the same ones to be utilized.

Another main benefit of this technology is security. It is only accessible by people who are within the room. Light does not go through opaque objects such as walls. This means that the connection is not accessible to people outside the room which ensures that there is no unauthorized access. This offers a better option to Wi-Fi which is accessible to anyone who is around. Security has been a major issue in the internet technology.

Energy efficiency and low power consumption is another reason to choose it over Wi-Fi. It does not require the use of additional hardware such as routers that are required to establish a good Wi-Fi network. These routers lead to extra costs that are saved when this technology is used. Lighting can also be turned low for the human eye but will still be enough to allow data transfers. This means that there will be no wastage of energy.

This technology is more available than any other wireless technology. This is because it can be used anywhere as long as there is LED light bulbs. These bulbs are available in our houses, offices, planes, ships and even in underground train tunnels. This makes it possible to transfer data and establish communications even when one is in very remote areas.

There are places where common transmissions and frequencies cannot be used to transfer data because they may lead to dangerous effects. Such areas mostly include chemical and petroleum plants. This connectivity is safe to use in such areas. This helps to improve communication and data transfers within the plants which in turn efficiency in the companies.

These are just a number of benefits of this new technology. More improvements are being made and so far LiFi technology has greatly improved wireless access and transfer of data. While this technology maintains a few disadvantages, it is preferred due to its availability and the high speeds.
