LiFi, the evolution of WiFi, It has been officialized and promises to revolutionize the way we navigate the internet. This wireless technology uses light instead of radio frequencies to transmit data, offering a connection speed up to 100 times faster to traditional WiFi. But that's not all: LiFi also offers a safety without previous compared to conventional technologies such as WiFi and 5G.

A quantum leap in wireless connection
Acronym for Light Fidelity, was developed by global technology companies pureLiFi e Fraunhofer HHI, who enthusiastically welcomed the release of the IEEE 802.11bb standard, the latest global standard for light communications, alongside the IEEE 802.11 WiFi standards. This standard marks a significant milestone for the LiFi market, as it provides a globally recognized framework for the deployment of LiFi technology.
The future of connectivity is bright
The LiFi uses the light spectrum to transmit data, delivering a faster, more reliable wireless connection with unprecedented security. The Working Group on Luminous Communications 802.11bb was formed in 2018, chaired by pureLiFi and supported by Fraunhofer HHI, two companies that have been at the forefront of LiFi development efforts. Both organizations aim to see one rapid adoption and interoperability not only among LiFi providers, but also with WiFi technologies, thanks to these standardization efforts.
LiFi: speed, security and reliability
The new generation connection also offers a number of advantages over traditional connections. First of all, the speed: LiFi can reach transmission speed up to 224GB/s, much faster than WiFi. Also, the line-of-sight propagation of light improves security by preventing penetration through walls, reducing the risk of interference and eavesdropping. Finally, LiFi offers a greater reliability thanks to the exclusive use of the optical spectrum, which reduces latency and jitter.
With the release of the IEEE 802.11bb standard, ultra-fast internet is now poised to take its place in the wireless communications market, delivering unprecedented speed, security and reliability to users around the world. It is worth mentioning that Oppo has been thinking about integrating this technology since 2020.
