Get ready for Li-Fi .. a technology to transfers data via light is faster than Wi-Fi for 100 times






Tests conducted by the Estonian start-up company has proven Li-Fi technology's ability, to send data at speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second.

And this speed, that excel on the current "Wi-Fi" technology for100 times, you can download high-definition  HD video in a few seconds.

In a pilot project conducted by Velmenni company, was tested technology Li-Fi, which is described revolutionary , which uses light to send data through the air, in offices and industrial environments, the Estonian capital, Tallinn.

It is noteworthy that the light is already used to transfer data over fiber optic networks at high speed. This technique is based on the principle of guiding light along the optical fiber by using total internal reflection, a way that prevents the loss of any information along the way.

The issue of the transfer of data by sending a beam of light through the air more difficult, because there is no "light tunnel" direct reference to where it should go.

IBTimes UK site for Deepak Solanki, CEO Velmenni as saying: "We have a little bit of pilot projects within different industries where we can use VLC technology. At the present time we have designed a solution scanned smart industrial environment where data is transmitted by light.".

The Li-Fi technology originated in 2011 by Professor Harald Hass, who proved he was able, with pulsed light of LED, from more than one cell tower data transfer.
This technique has been tested by the airline companies, who want to use to provide the best connectivity in flight , as tested by the intelligence agencies, that are interested in the capabilities of the technology Li-Fi in wireless data transmission safely.
