The Future Of LED Light

New Technology In Development For Wireless LED Data Transmission

LED lighting applications are being researched and tested as a possible new way to boost and bridge cellular and WiFi networks - prototypes have been presented and demonstrated at tech meetings across the globe. 

Wireless high speed data transmission through visible LED light (Li-Fi) is faster than WiFi and may prove beneficial to areas where WiFi radio frequencies are blocked or inaccessible such as in hospitals, airplanes, and power plants. 

Since a line of sight to LED light is needed, it is not likely to replace WiFi or cellular technology.  However, it could enhance connections where connectivity is poor or where networks interfere with each other in a building using their own lighting infrastructure.
