The speed seems to be of less interest as you no longer have to worry about stray radio waves creeping outside of your building dumping company secrets. |

Li-Fi seems interesting / intriguing. Ignorance is bliss and knowledge is power. But having only some facts can get you into trouble! |

Corporate website http://purelifi.com/ It has no advantage to home systems, as the data coming into my home is 50 mbs, and can easily be moved around the house on wire or even fairly old wifi access points. But if you should ever get gigabit internet in New Jersey, then it may be an issue. The security issue seems to be a big selling point for the corporation. Researchers have achieved speeds of 224 gigabits per second using Li-Fi in lab conditions. Of course, comparing lab results is speculative Researchers at the University of Surrey in England have achieved 5G speeds of 1 Terabit per second (Tbps) over 100 metres in the lab - by far the fastest wireless connection to date. The fifth generation mobile network will eventually replace our current 4G technology, with its comparatively poxy speeds of around 15 Mbps, and it's hoped that it will revolutionize how we use mobile devices. |
