 WHAT IS LI – FI ?
• LI-FI is transmission of data through
illumination ,sending data through a LED light bulb that
varies in intensity faster than human eye can follow
 HISTROY
 The technology truly began
during the 1990's in
countries like Germany,
Korea, and Japan where they
discovered LED's could be
manufactured to send
information. 
Harald Haas continues
world with the potential to
use light for communication

 PRESENT SCENARIO

1.4 Million 5 Billion

 PRESENT SCENARIO
• Radio Spectrum is congested but the demand
for wireless data double each year .Every
thing, it seems want to use wireless data but
the capacity is drying up.
• So what can carry this excess demand in the
future .
Issues regarding Radiospectrum
 Capacity
• Radiowaves
• Cost and Expensive
• Less Bandwidth compared to other spectrums
• Insufficient spectrum for increasing data
Efficiency
• Millions of basestations consume huge amount of
energy for
1.Transmitting the radio waves
2.To cool the base station cabins
• 5% Efficiency
 Availability

• Available within the range of Base stations

• Limited availabity
• Unavailable in aircrafts
Security:
• Less secure(passes through the walls)
WHO CAN REPLACE
RADIO WAVES FOR
WIRELESS
COMMUNICATION ?
 How LI-FI Works ?
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.
Working process
Infrared rays in Remote control
•Single data stream
•20000 bits per second
•Not usable for vedio streaming
 LI-FI
•Light power(LED)
•Multiple data stream
•High speed
•Technologies used in LI-FI: SIM-OFDM and
Spatial modulation
 POTENTIAL APPLICATION OF LI-FI
SAFE ENVIRONMENTS

Visible Light is more safe than RF, hence it can be used in

places where RF can't be used such as petrochemical plants ,
airplanes etc.
 PUBLIC INTERNET HOTSPOTS
• There are millions of street lamps around the
world.
• Each of these street lamps could be a free
access point.
POTENTIAL APPLICATION OF LI-FI

 ON OCEAN BEDS

Li-Fi can even wok underwater were Wi-Fi fails completely,

thereby throwing open endless opportunities for
military/navigation operations.
 Advantages

• Largers bandwidth (10,000 times the radio bandwidth)

• High efficiency
• More availability
• Highly secure
 DISADVANTAGE
Presence of Light is essential
 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.
