An exciting new technology was unveiled today that could revolutionize the concept of network connection.
Today’s release of the new standard Li-Fi IEEE 802.11bb it is a novelty that we will hear a lot about in the coming years. In fact, this technology will probably gradually replace the current one radio frequency system (RF).
According to industry experts, the technology in question is able to provide “faster and more reliable wireless communications with unmatched security compared to conventional technologies such as Wi-Fi and 5G“. Now that the IEEE 802.11bb Li-Fi standard has been released, many are wondering about the interoperability between the two systems.
Of course, Li-Fi isn’t going to wipe out the alternatives Wi-Fi e 5G (let alone wired networks). In fact, radio waves still have a distinct advantage in transmitting through the atmosphere over great distances and through solid objects.
Li-fi: speed and security, but Wi-Fi (for now) is not at risk
The introduction of the IEEE 802.11bb standard will inevitably lead to the introduction of new systems that exploit Li-Fi. Not for nothing, a forerunner company in this context like pureLifihas already prepared aantenna special, which allows you to connect to receive this type of signal and manage it.
The product in question consists of a 14.5 mm long component, supplied for now only to OEMs to test this innovation. PureLifi itself, in its advertising material, lists the advantages of this technology compared to the classic Wi-Fi.
In this sense, we are not just talking about stratospheric speeds (even 100 times greater than the previous solution), but also a greater security e privacy. For ordinary users, all that remains is to wait with curiosity and wait for Li-Fi networks to become within everyone’s reach.
