Wi-Fi You Can See: The Future of Connectivity

The video from MSN discusses the future of connectivity, focusing on the development of visible light communication (VLC) technology, often referred to as Li-Fi. This technology uses light to transmit data at high speeds, offering a potential alternative or supplement to traditional Wi-Fi. Li-Fi could provide faster, more secure, and less congested networks by utilizing the visible light spectrum, which is 10,000 times larger than the radio frequency spectrum used by Wi-Fi. The video explains how Li-Fi works by modulating the intensity of light from LEDs to send data, which can be received by devices equipped with photodetectors. It highlights potential applications in environments where radio frequencies are restricted or where high-speed, secure data transfer is crucial, like in hospitals, airplanes, or underwater. The technology promises to enhance connectivity in smart cities, homes, and offices, potentially revolutionizing how we connect and interact with our devices.
