Li-Fi becomes a standard

Light to give connectivity

Li-Fi was just made into a standard, IEEE 802.11bb — and it harnesses the power of light to give connectivity.

The concept behind Li-Fi is pretty simple, and its powers were shown off during MWC 2023. Instead of using radio waves to transfer data, Li-Fi uses a different kind of electromagnetic radiation — light — for that task instead.

LED lights already turn on and off many times a second by themselves to save energy, and that's mostly imperceptible by the human eye. Li-Fi would just make them turn on and off in a specific way that a receiver can interpret and thus transfer data with. It works with visible, infrared, and ultraviolet light, so not to worry, you can surf the web with (visible) light switched off.
