India, Dec. 14 -- It may not be as revolutionary as Edison's bulb, but it promises to shine with brighter, faster, and ultra-low-latency connectivity than the lanterns before it. Li-Fi-or Light Fidelity-is light-driven connectivity that uses the power of light for data transmission. In a world dominated by Wi-Fi, this technology presents an intriguing alternative for illuminating specific connectivity needs.

By harnessing the expansive, unlicensed light spectrum for data transfer, Light Communication (LC) offers a compelling and sustainable response to the growing demand on traditional radio-frequency (RF) networks, explains Marc Fleschen, Chairman of the Light Communication Alliance.

The concept originated in Optical Wireless Communica...
