In just two years, the lights in your home may provide you with internet access at speeds 100 times faster than Wi-Fi.
At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week, French start-up Oledcomm demonstrated the capabilities of Li-Fi, using just an office lamp to start playing a smartphone video.
Li-Fi uses visible light communication like the ‘digital equivalent of Morse code,’ so it cannot pass through walls. This gives it the potential to create a faster and more secure network, with less interference.
