 INTRODUCTION
•Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) is a bidirectional, high-
speed and fully networked wireless
communication technology similar to Wi-Fi.

•LI-FI is a technology that uses the light

emitting diodes to transmit the data wirelessly.

•LI-FI is fast and cheap practical version of WI-

FI, based on visible light communication
(VLC).

•VLC is a data communication medium, which

uses the visible light between 400 Thz (780 nm)
and 800 Thz (375 nm) as optical carrier for
data transmission
 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.

HE DEMONSTRATED IT IN THE YEAR

2012.

PRESENT SCENARIO

“
Mobile phones
transmit 600 TB
data every month.

Wireless
communication has
become an utility
like electricity and
water.
 RADIO SPECTRUM ISSUES

CAPACITY
 Radiowaves
 Cost and Expensive
 Less Bandwidth compared to other spectrums
 Insufficient spectrum for increasing data

EFFICIENCY
 Millions of base stations consume huge amount
of energy for
1.Transmitting the radio waves
2.To cool the base station cabins
 5% Efficiency
 RADIO SPECTRUM ISSUES

AVAILABILIT
Y
 Available within the range of Base stations
 Limited availability
 Unavailable in aircrafts

SECURITY

 Less secure(passes through the walls)

 Anyone with knowledge and bad intention can
misuse it
 WHY ONLY VLC ??

 Gama rays cant be used as they could be dangerous.

 X-rays have similar health issues.

Ultraviolet light is good for place without people, but other wise
dangerous for the human body

Infrared, due to eye safety regulation, can only be used with low
power.

HENCE WE LEFT WITH THE ONLY THE VISIBLE -

LIGHT SPECTRUM.
 Working Process
Operational procedure is very simple, if the led is on,
you transmit a digital 1, if its off you transmit a 0. The
LEDs can be switched on and off very quickly, which
gives nice opportunities for transmitting data. Hence all
that us required is some LEDs and a controller that
code data into those LEDs. We have to just vary the rate
at which the LED’s .

 Flicker depending upon the data we want to encode .

Thus every light source will works as a hub for data

transmission .
The LI FI product consists of 4 primary sub-assemblies:
• Bulb
• RF power amplifier circuit (PA)
• Printed circuit board (PCB)
• Enclosure

1. 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 plasma
generates an intense source of light.

2. The PCB controls the electrical inputs and outputs of the lamp and houses
the microcontroller used to manage different lamp functions.

3. An RF (radio-frequency) signal is generated by the solid-state PA and is

guided into an electric field about the bulb.

4. All of these subassemblies are contained in an aluminum enclosure

 How It Works ??

On one end all the data on the internet will be streamed
to a lamp driver.

When the led is turned on, the microchip converts the

digital data in form of light.

On the other hand, this light is detected by photo

sensitive devices.

Next this device is amplified and processed and then fed

to the device.
APPLICATION AREAS

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.
APPLICATION AREAS

HOSPITALS

In operation theatre, Li-Fi can

be used for modern medical
instruments
APPLICATION AREAS

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
overcome this drawback on
radiowaves , li-fi is introduced.
APPLICATION AREAS

INTRINSICALLY SAFE ENVIRONMENT

It can be used in petroleum or

chemical plants where other
transmission or frequencies could be
hazardous.
APPLICATION AREAS

ON OCEAN BED

Li-Fi can even work underwater

were Wi-Fi fails completely,
thereby throwing open endless
opportunities for military/
navigation operations.
APPLICATION AREAS

STREET LAMPS

There are millions of street

lamps deployed around the
world.

Each of these street lamps could

be a free access point.
 LIMITATIONS
There should be line of sight between sender
and receiver

Visible light cannot penetrate through solid

objects

 High installation cost of the VLC systems

Interferences from external light sources like

sun light, normal bulbs, and opaque materials
in the path of transmission will cause
interruption in the communication

A major challenge facing Li-Fi is how the

receiving device will transmit back to
transmitter.
IS IT A PROVEN TECHNOLOGY

• Yes, this is already proven.

•Dr. Harald has demonstrated his invention using

an ordinary table lamp that successfully
transmitted data at speed exceeding 10 mbps.

•To prove that light bulb was the source of data

stream, he periodically blocked the beam of light,
causing the connection to drop.

“
Li-Fi is reportedly being tested in Dubai, by UAE-based
telecommunications provider, du and Zero1. Du claims to
have successfully provided internet, audio and video
streaming over a Li-Fi connection.
What's more, reports suggest that Apple may build future
iPhones with Li-Fi capabilities. A Twitter user found that
within its iOS 9.1 code there were references to Li-Fi
written as 'LiFi Capability' hinting that Apple may integrate
Li-fi with iPhones in the future.
 CONCLUSION
The possibilities are numerous and can be
explored further. If this technology can be put into
practical use , every bulb can be used something
like a Wi-Fi hotspots to transmit wireless data
and we will be proceed onwards the

Cleaner, Greener, safer and Brighter

Future
