Li-Fi internet connection using LED bulb benefits, features as future of internet communication

The word Li-Fi refers to a type of visible light communication technique that delivers a high speed network connectivity over a large network of computers and mobile devices.   

The term Li-Fi is first used by Herald Hass the University of Edinburgh in the UK. Latest demonstrations of a light bulb with embedded microchips can produce 150 mbps data rates communication over a large network. The possibility of getting data rates transmission in Li-Fi is extremly high and some experiments have encouraging results of more than 3Gbps data rates transmission between Li-Fi networked devices.

Li-Fi is greatly eco-friendly and cheap network connectivity technique in comparison to conventional Wi-Fi and radio frequency based techniques that require a lot of attention to provide cooling for their radio frequency generators.

Li-Fi has one disadvantage that comes with a light source. Like any light-source Li-Fi connectivity requires networked devices always to be exposed to the light source. Any interruption between device and light source can disconnect the communication.
