How big ideas can change the world: the revolutionary potential of LiFi

Physics World  October 22, 2019 Researchers at the University of Oxford have shown that LiFi can work in lab demonstrations at speeds of 224 Gbps, illustrating the huge progress since Professor Haas from the University of Edinburgh, introduced LiFi in his 2011 TED talk. In that presentation, Haas demonstrated the benefits of LiFi with an LED light bulb housed in a desk lamp sitting on a small receiver unit. The four fundamental challenges that LiFi addresses are – first it’s efficient, second, LED lights are widely available, third, LiFi offers high capacity (the visible spectrum is 10,000 times wider than […]
