A Study on LI-FI Transmission of data through Light

Abstract

Searching for an excellent data speed is a dream for any individual who has plenty of devices connected to a single source of the network.As the number of devices increase, the bandwidth obtained by any devise just gets reduced drastically. Obtaining a higher bandwidth has eventually become a need for today's individual. Herald Hass, a German Physicist, has come up with a solution to such a need by replacing the source of network from fibre optics to an LED light which can transmit data at a significant higher rate compared to conventional methods. Such a technology has already been used in transmitting data using infrared remote controls. Dr. Hass states that this technology can be very much useful as the intensity of the light emitted from the LED can determine the data transfer. There might be other problems that can be resolved by such a technology. One of those would be security of the network, in which only the devices very close to the source would only be able to make use of it.
