LiFi is a revolutionary technology
LiFi is a fairly new technology. With LiFi, LED light bulbs are used to send data via light. LiFi is an abbreviation of “Light Fidelity”, a term first coined by Harald Haas, a German Professor of Mobile Communications at the University of Edinburgh. LiFi was first publicly introduced during the TED Global talk in 2011. Like WiFi, LiFi can send data bilaterally and wirelessly connect electronic devices like phones, tablets and laptops with the internet.
