IEEE standardizes LiFi technology: Data transmission through light waves

The IEEE has officially ratified the 802.11bb standard, also known as LiFi, a technology that utilizes light waves for data transfer. Developed by pureLiFi, LiFi enables data transmission using flickering LED lightbulbs. With a larger spectrum than radio waves, LiFi offers high throughput and security as light can't pass through solid objects. LiFi complements Wi-Fi and can work seamlessly with it, opening new opportunities for applications like secure Internet access and next-gen experiences. This standardized deployment marks a significant step for the LiFi industry.
