| This new wireless system hit speeds of 224 gigabits per second in the lab, and has the potential to revolutionize internet usage. The Li-Fi technology uses visible light between 400 and 800 terahertz (THz) and transmits messages through binary code. |
Li-Fi is the new Wi-Fi: First real tests of lightbulb technology find it is 100 TIMES faster than current systems
25 November 2015
- System invented in 2011 hits speeds of 224 gigabits per second in the lab
- Scientists are now testing Li-Fi in offices and industrial environments
- Li-Fi is uses visible light communication and would be more secure
Step aside, Wi-Fi. Scientists have just taken to the streets with a new wireless technology called Li-Fi, and it's 100 times faster than current speeds.
Li-Fi transmits data using visible light communication, and it's now being tested in offices and industrial environments in Tallinn, Estonia.
This new wireless system hit speeds of 224 gigabits per second in the lab, and has the potential to revolutionize internet usage.
Harald Haas from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland invented Li-Fi in 2011.
