WHAT IS LI – FI ?

HISTORY-
The technology truly began
during the 1990's in countries
like Germany, Korea, and
Japan where they discovered
LED's could be retrofitted to
send information. Harald
Haas continues to wow the
world with the potential to
use light for communication
HARALD HASS

on 12th July 2011. He used a table lamp with an LED bulb to
transmit a video of blooming flowers that was then projected
onto a screen behind him. During the event he periodically
blocked the light from lamp to prove that the lamp was
indeed the source of incoming data.

Further enhancements can be made in this
method, like using an array of LEDs for parallel
data transmission, or using mixtures of red,
green and blue LEDs to alter the light‘s
frequency with each frequency encoding a
different data channel. Such advancements
promise a theoretical speed of 10 Gbps –

For giga-speed technologies, the Li-Fi Consortium defined
GigaShower, GigaSpot and GigaMIMO models
Page 21
GigaShower and Giga-MIMO are the other models for in-
house communication. There a transmitter or receiver is
mounted into the ceiling connected to, for example, a
media server
GigaShower provides unidirectional data services via several
channels to multiple users with gigabit-class com-munication
speed over several metres. This is like watching TV channels
or listening to different radio stations where no uplink
channel is needed. In case GigaShower is used to sell books,
music or movies, the connected media server can be accessed
via Wi-Fi to process payment via a mobile device. GigaSpot
and GigaMIMO are optical wireless single- and multi-channel
HotSpot solutions offering bidirectional gigabit-class
communication in a room, hall or shopping mall for example.

LI FI CONSTRUCTION-
The LI FI product consists of 4 primary sub-assemblies:
• Bulb
• RF power amplifier circuit (PA)
• Printed circuit board (PCB)
• Enclosure
3-The PCB controls the electrical inputs and outputs of the lamp and
houses the microcontroller used to manage different lamp functions.
2- An RF (radio-frequency) signal is generated by the solid-state PA and
is guided into an electric field about the bulb. The high concentration of
energy in the electric field vaporizes the contents of the bulb to a plasma
state at the bulb’s center; this controlled pasma generates an intense
source of light. All of these subassemblies are contained in an aluminum
enclosure.

POTENTIAL APPLICATION OF LI-FI
Li Fi technology is still in its infancy .However some areas
where it seems perfectly applicable are:-
1- TRAFFIC LIGHTS
Traffic lights can communicate to the car and
with each other. Cars have LED-based headlights,
LED-based cack lights, and cars can
communicate with each other and prevent
accidents in by exchanging information.

3- Airlines
Whenever we travel through airways we face the problem in
communication media ,because the whole airways communication
are performed on the basis of radio waves. To overcomes this
drawback on radioways , li-fi is introduced.

4- ON OCEAN BEDS
Li-Fi can even wok underwater were Wi-Fi fails
completely, thereby throwing open endless
opportunities for military/navigation operations.
