LI-FI (LIGHT-FIDELITY)

CST 300L Fall 2013

What is Light Fidelity?

Data communication through Light

How does it work?

LED lights Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing

Harald Haas explains how it works

Key Person

Professor Harald Haas, University of Edinburgh

Advantages Disadvantages Means for Future

Advantages

Faster Data Speeds More access to Internet Use in areas where Data

Communication is limited

Disadvantages

Cannot travel from room to room Detector must face the source of light

Means for Future

Internet on Planes/Anywhere that uses Light

Saves Lives

Any Questions?
