Future of Communication-LIFI (Light Fidelity): A Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
The internet has revolutionized the world, with its use in coffee shops, offices, and homes. However, internet speed remains a major issue. Communication, supported by information and communication technology (ICT), has made the world more connected. Everyone, including businesses, institutions, organizations, and entrepreneurs, requires fast internet connectivity and a broad spectrum of channels to obtain the right information at the right time and place. This paper discusses the potential impact of Li-Fi, a future communication technology that uses visible light communication and may provide faster, more cost-effective, and robust internet connectivity of up to 500MBPS (30GBPS per minute), making it a viable alternative to Wi-Fi
