Submission + - London Scientists Prep 10Gbps Hybrid Li-Fi and 5G Home Wireless Network
Mark.JUK writes: Researchers at Brunel University in London have begun to develop a new 10Gbps (Gigabits per second) home wireless network using both Li-Fi (Light Fidelity) and 5G based mmWave technology, which will fit inside LED (Light-Emitting Diode) light bulbs on your ceiling.
In simple terms, the Visible Light Communication (VLC) based Li-Fi technology works by flicking a LED light off and on thousands of times a second (by altering the length of the flickers you can introduce digital communications). However the system being tested doesn't look like something that most people would want to install in their homes, unless they like running optical fibre cabling around every light fitting and changing the bulbs in every room with a pricey Li-Fi replacement.
