WASHINGTON: A Mexican software
company has managed to transmit audio, video and internet across the spectrum
of light emitted by LED lamps — at a data transfer rate of 10 gigabytes per
second.
The technology can illuminate a large work space, such as an office, while providing full mobile internet to every device that comes into the range of the light spectrum.
The technology, called Li-Fi or light fidelity, is presented as an alternative to Wi-Fi because it will maximise the original provided speed of the internet to offer safer data transfer and a transfer rate of up to 10 gigabytes per second.
