Li-Fi: The Future of Wireless
Communication
• Li-Fi (Light Fidelity) uses visible light communication (VLC)
to transmit data wirelessly, offering speeds up to 100 times
faster than Wi-Fi.
• Invented by Prof. Harald Haas.
• Li-Fi addresses RF spectrum congestion, growing IoT
demands, and 5G limitations by using the abundant visible light
spectrum.
3
Working Principle: How Li-Fi
Transmits Data
LED Light Source
LEDs serve as transmitters, capable of switching on
and off millions of times per second
Modulation
Data encoded in light intensity variations through
ON/OFF switching (binary data)
Receiver
Photodiode, image sensor, or solar panel detects light
variations and converts them to electrical signals
4
Technical Specifications
224 Gbps
Theoretical
Speed
Maximum potential data transfer
rate
430-770 THz
Frequency Range
Visible light spectrum
10m
Typical Range
Coverage area within light
reach
Li-Fi offers significantly lower latency and higher bandwidth compared to Wi-Fi, while consuming less power as
LEDs are more energy-efficient than RF transmitters.
5
Advantages of Li-Fi
Superior Speed
Up to 100 times faster than conventional Wi-Fi,
enabling rapid data transfer
Enhanced
Security
Light cannot penetrate walls, preventing external
hacking and signal interception
No RF
Interference
Ideal for sensitive environments like hospitals,
aircraft, and underwater applications
Abundant Spectrum
Visible light spectrum is 10,000 times larger than
the RF spectrum, offering more bandwidth
6
Limitations and
Challenges
Line of Sight
Requirement
• Transmitter and receiver must have direct visual
connection
Limited Range
• Only works where light falls, typically within 10
meters
Darkness
Limitation
• Cannot function in darkness or when light is blocked
Standardization &
Cost
• Lack of universal standards and high
infrastructure costs
7
The Future of Light: Li-Fi
Technology
A revolutionary wireless communication technology
using light to transmit data, poised to transform how we
connect in the digital age.
8
Future Scope & Innovations
5G/6G Integration
Seamless integration with
next-generation mobile
networks, creating hybrid
connectivity solutions.
Smart Cities
Streetlights doubling as data
transmission points,
enabling citywide IoT
networks with minimal
infrastructure changes.
Autonomous Vehicles
V2V and V2X
communication through
headlights and traffic
signals, enhancing safety
and reducing latency.
Market forecasts predict exponential growth as these innovations mature and gain widespread
adoption.
9
Security & Privacy Advantages
Physical
Containment
Light cannot penetrate walls,
creating naturally contained
networks that prevent
eavesdropping from outside the
room.
Directional Precision
Signals can be precisely
directed to intended receivers,
reducing interception risks.
Advanced
Encryption
Light-specific encryption
methods add additional
security layers beyond standard
protocols.
While offering superior security, potential vulnerabilities exist in mixed lighting environments and through
reflection-based attacks.
10
Li-Fi vs. Wi-Fi: Comparative Analysis
Parameter Li-Fi Wi-Fi
Speed Up to 224 Gbps Up to 9.6 Gbps (Wi-Fi 6)
Security High (physically contained) Medium (can penetrate walls)
Range 10 metres (limited) 30+ metres
Power Consumption Very low Medium to high
Spectrum Unregulated, vast Regulated, congested
Li-Fi excels in speed and security but has range limitations that make it complementary rather than a replacement
for RF-based systems.
11
Conclusion
Li-Fi is not just an alternative to Wi-Fi, but a
complementary technology paving the way for
faster, safer, and greener communication networks
