Abstract

Li-Fi stands for Light-Fidelity. The idea is brand new, and was suggested by German physicist Harald Haas in 2011.
By transmitting data via illumination, Li-Fi transmits data through an LED light bulb which varies in intensity faster
than the human eye can trace. In this paper the authors will clarify what Li-Fi is, and why it's better than any other
communication tool. Li-Fi is a simpler system with greater bandwidth and less security problems compared to
existing technologies. Li-Fi can reliably meet Wi-Fi's shortcomings and in many other ways prove more useful than
Wi-Fi. An overview of Li-Fi will be given in which we will trace its journey that is when was it first thought of using
light as medium of data transfer and explain the advantages of such a method of data transfer. The term Li-Fi refers
to visible light communication and hence is also referred to as VLC. e will discuss all the applications related to LiFi that are in the market and those that will be developed in the future. The potential impact of this technology in the
future will be discussed by forecasting the market growth and how many different countries are planning to intricate
the technology into their daily lives.
