If you thought that in the future we would continue contacting us via Wi-fi, you were wrong.A new wireless technology, much faster and safer, is about to appear.In fact, tests are already being carried out in Estonia and subsequently launched to the world market.This new technique is called Li-fi.
Does Li-fi work?
Li-fi is a wireless technology very similar to Wi-fi.It was invented by Professor Harald Haas Edinburgh University.The first difference is the high speed at which data is transmitted.
These are transmitted through the impulses of a led light.It is about integrating into a bulb a microchip that would that, in addition to lighting, transmit data wirelessly.
Advantages of Li-Fi
- You can send data to 100 times faster than current technology.
- Greater security in local networks, since it is not possible to intercept it from afar.
- Less interference.
- It will only take a light bulb to receive internet.
- The creators of li-fi believe that this technique is very much more ecological.
The devices that are currently needed are replaced by a simple led bulb.
For when
Infrastructures that allow light to flow are needed.So it will first be installed in Universities, Companies and public places .
It is possible that in three or four years we can already have it in our homes.Prototypes are being manufactured for private use.It seems that the idea is that wi-fi and li-fi coexist for a while, since the new technology does not, for the moment, have an optimal behavior in outdoors .
So, if you're tired of your wi-fi connection continually failing and it's insecure, you won't have to wait long to enjoy the new li-fi .
If you are interested in topics related to technology, you may want to review history and get closer to the figure of the great Nikola Tesla.
