ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM

bitwali.com INTRODUCTION

bitwali.com HISTORY

bitwali.com LIFE OF LI-FI  Introduced by Professor Harald Haas, at the university of Edinburgh.  Established in 2011 TED global talk  The promotion of idea through TED helped to start a company, Pure Li-Fi  Pure Li-Fi, formerly pure VLC, is an original equipment manufacture firm setup to commercialize Li-Fi products for integration with existing LED lighting systems  In October 2011, few companies and industries group formed  Li-Fi consortium to promote the high speed optical wireless systems

bitwali.com LIGHT FIDELITY ( ایمان داری فَرض شَناسی ۔ )  Light based WI-FI  Light is used instead of radio-waves to transmit data  Transceiver fitted LED lamps acts like Wi-Fi modems  LED lamps can light a room as well as transmit-receive data  Provides illumination as well as data communication

bitwali.com OVERCOMING WIFI ISSUES CAPACITY  Spectrum is 10,000 times greater than that of radio frequency EFFICIENCY  Highly efficient since LED consumes less energy AVAILABILITY  Light waves available everywhere SECURITY  Cannot penetrate through walls. Hence data cannot be intercepted

bitwali.com HOW LI-FI WORKS?

bitwali.com HOW Li-Fi WORKS?  Operational procedure is very simple  If LED is ON, digital data ‘1’ is transmitted & if LED is OFF, digital data ‘0’ is transmitted  LEDs varies in intensity so fast that a human eye cannot detect it  A controller connected at the back side of these LEDs is used to code data  Also called as 5G optical communication

bitwali.com IMPLEMENTATION OF LI- FI  All the data from Internet is streamed into lamp driver  Data from internet is used to modulate the intensity of LED light source  Thus by fast and subtle variations of current, optical output can be made to vary at extremely high speed  The photo detector picks up the signal  The receiver dongle then converts the tiny changes in amplitude into a data stream

APPLICATIONS

bitwali.com APPLICATIONS OF LI-FI  LI-FI can be used in  Sensitive areas such as aircrafts for data transmission without causing interference  Places where it is difficult to lay optical fibers like operation theaters  Traffic scenarios, thereby reducing accidents  Underwater applications where radio waves cannot propagate ( پھیلانا - توسیع ).  Industries like petrochemical plants, nuclear power plants, petrol pumps etc

bitwali.com ADVANTAGES

bitwali.com ADVANTAGES  Data rate greater than 10 Gbps; Theoretically allowing HD film to be downloaded in 30 seconds  Can be used anywhere, even in RF restricted areas; Since light waves will not interfere with radio waves.  Mostly LED light bulbs are used, which consumes less energy.  Hence cost efficient.  As light waves cannot penetrate through walls, the data cannot be intercepted; Thus provides secured communication.  Efficient alternative to radio based wireless; since it is quick and reliable.

bitwali.com LIMITATIONS

bitwali.com LIMITATIONS  Visible light cannot penetrate through solid objects.  A major challenge of Li-Fi is how the receiving device will transmit back to transmitter.  Interferences from external light sources like sunlight, in the path of transmission will cause interruption in the communication.  Data transmission can be easily blocked by any object placed in front of LED source.  Keep the lights on all the time 24×7  Connectivity while moving

bitwali.com CONCLUSION

bitwali.com

CONCLUSION Thus, if Li-Fi technology can be put into practical use, every bulb can be used as an alternative to Wi-Fi hotspots. It provides simple, faster and efficient wireless data communication. Li-Fi will make us to proceed towards the cleaner, greener, safer and brighter future.
