About this episode

To this day, consumption of wireless data just keeps on growing as we use the internet more and more every year. Now it might be difficult to comprehend but we could eventually get to a point where WiFi simply can’t cope with that ever-growing demand for data. The radio-frequency space that wifi relies on is gradually getting saturated, which could lead to something called spectrum crunch. That would lead to slower connection speeds, which just won’t do for today’s constantly online generation. So at some point in the future, we’ll most likely need to phase out WifI. Enter Li-FI, or Light Fidelity to give it its full name. How does it work then? What are the advantages of Li-Fi? So, when will it be ready for me to install at home?
