LiFi – Connectivity is evolving
Overview
Light As An Access Point
Optical wireless technology has allowed the light to be a synonym of data. The process might seem large but happens in the blink of an eye as soon as the user switches the power on. The reception is seamless if unobstructed and starts with the Input signals from the tower.
How does light communication work?
Benefits of light fidelity
The technology is still immature but shows promise of solving the challenges faced by 5G
Unhackable
The technology is unhackable as it uses the points that give out data in a very focused manner. The light emitted by one point is catched by the other end and no data goes outside the Indian territories.
Faster than ever
The technology provides data at lightning fast speeds. For a distance of 10 kms, data at the speed of upto 1Gbps and for a distance of 5 kms, data at the speed of up to 10Gbps is available.
Easy Deployment & Reduced Costs
The technology is cheaper as compared to OFC and RF technologies. OFC costs upto INR 60 lakhs for 10 kms lay out. In areas like hills, places with humid climate etc, deployment of OFC can be a big challenge. Light Fidelity comes very handy in this aspect.
Health Friendly
In this world of today where we have a web of radiation around us, Light fidelity is radiation free technology and provides data through the optical wireless network thus zero radiation, very low power consumption and zero impact on your health.
Seamless Roll Out of 5G Network
The technology makes use of the existing optical network which means effortless roll out of the 5G network in the country as well as seamless connection with the masses.
No extra infra costs
Optical Wireless Technology thrives on the existing electrical infrastructure. It does not need new installations or a new network of lights for providing the internet
