In today’s world, the internet has become an essential part of our daily lives. We rely on it for communication, entertainment, and access to information. One of the most popular ways to access the internet is through Wi-Fi, a wireless technology that uses radio waves to transmit data. However, Wi-Fi is not without its limitations, and a new technology called Li-Fi is emerging as a potential successor.

Li-Fi, short for Light Fidelity, is a wireless communication technology that uses light waves to transmit data. Unlike Wi-Fi, which uses radio waves, Li-Fi uses the visible light spectrum, 10,000 times larger than the radio spectrum. This means that Li-Fi can provide much higher data transfer rates, up to 224 Gbps, compared to Wi-Fi’s maximum of 7 Gbps.

One of the main advantages of Li-Fi is that it is much more secure than Wi-Fi. Because light waves cannot penetrate walls, the signal is contained within a specific area, making it much more difficult for hackers to access. Additionally, Li-Fi does not interfere with other wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth or Zigbee, which can cause…
