You’ve most certainly heard of Wi-Fi, but have you heard of Li-Fi? Li-Fi is high-speed wireless internet transmitted through light. That light can come from something as simple as a desktop lamp. While Wi-Fi works fine, it currently relies on radio waves to work, something that we’re running short of as our data demands continue to grow. Li-Fi has 2,600 times the capacity of the radio spectrum, meaning Internet from Li-Fi is much, much faster. On top of that, it’s also more secure—just turn off the light and hackers can’t possibly enter your data.
Li-Fi is set to change the way we access the Internet
