LiFi vs. WiFi: Why LiFi Will Not Replace Your WiFi Router Anytime Soon?
LiFi is a communication method that uses LEDs instead of dongles or antennas to provide internet access and data transfer at ultrahigh speeds. In 2015, after several lab tests, LiFi achieved a record-breaking data transfer rate of 224 Gbps. In later “real-world” tests by the Estonian startup Vélmenni, transfer speeds reached 1GB per second, 100 […]
How we helped a client overcome one major challenge of LiFi?
In this instance, North Star helped the research department at a moderate level electronics company in Germany. And the mystery we helped them resolve was of Li-Fi. A powerful and complementary alternative to radio frequency (RF) transmission, li-fi, use characteristics like intensity and frequency of visible light to communicate data between two devices (transmitter and […]
How these researchers have overcome one major challenge of LiFi?
LiFi technology has been in the public eye since Prof. Harald Haas first introduced it to the world in his Ted talk in August of 2011. LiFi uses characteristics like intensity, and the frequency of visible light is used to communicate data between two devices (transmitter and receiver). A powerful and complementary alternative to radiofrequency […]
Which Companies were Researching in LiFi before Harald Haas?
In our last post of the LiFi series, we learned how LiFi Technology evolved in the past few years. We also learned how the companies are trying to make LiFi a household name. In this article, we will be exploring which companies were researching LiFi before it was introduced to the public. In case if you […]
