https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2NcxggiJlY Li-Fi is the new Wi-Fi: First real tests of lightbulb technology find it is 100 TIMES faster than current systems System invented in 2011 hits speeds of 224 gigabits per second in the lab Scientists are now testing Li-Fi in offices and industrial environments Li-Fi is uses visible light communication and would be more secure Step aside, Wi-Fi. Scientists have just taken to the streets with a new wireless technology called Li-Fi, and it's 100 times faster than current speeds. Li-Fi transmits data using visible light communication, and it's now being tested in offices and industrial environments in Tallinn, Estonia. This new wireless system hit speeds of 224 gigabits per second in the lab, and has the potential to revolutionize internet usage. Harald Haas from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland invented Li-Fi in 2011. Haas demonstrated that he could transmit more data than a cellular tower by flickering light from a single LED, according to ScienceAlert. The system works in a similar way to Morse code, using visible light communication (VLC), but operates at speeds that are too high to be detected by the naked eye. The Li-Fi technology uses visible light between 400 and 800 terahertz (THz), and transmits messages through binary code, giving it in-lab speeds fast enough to download 18 movies of 1.5 GB each second.

That is crazy fast speed, I got really excited when I noticed my iPhone running at over 130MBs download which is a big jump from about 18Mbs it was last week, Telstra must have upgraded their local base stations. but to go another factor of 10 on speed is mind blowing.

Of course the maximum speed is what you get from your ISP. It's also more secure at home than wi-fi because light doesn't penetrate walls so no unwanted use of oursiders. :)

I didn't consider the security aspect of LiFi tech..even cooler then

Hopefully it gets mass adoption real soon.

Think about this scenario: You have backpack with solar panels that charge your Li-Fi and other electrical devices. You would then be able to create LAN with your computers anywhere. You just need to be able to carry all your computers with you. :P
