LiFi – Light Fidelity, How Lighting Will
Change the Future of Data Communications
A World Connected by Light
Paul Chamberlain, President, Linmore LED Labs, Inc.
Imagine every light could connect you to the Internet
11
By 2025 there won’t be enough RF
capacity to meet demand.
Please wait...
12
RF data pipes are too small to service our demands.
13
LiFi can offer 1000 x the bandwidth
0.3THz of RF
spectrum for WiGig,
WiFi, TV, cellular
6THz
of wireless spectrum
needed in the next 20 years
at current growth
20x
340THz
of visible light spectrum alone
Light is the answer
“The Great Radio Spectrum Crunch”

Spectrum Crunch
Winzer, Neilson, “From Scaling Disparities to Integrated Parallelism: A Decathlon, JLT, 2017r a Decade
In 20 years (6G?), this means × 12,000 bandwidth 500 MHz used for WiFi in 5 GHz band will need to become 6 THz RF is only 0.3 THz!! 20 times shortfall!
16
What is LiFi?
A real mobile wireless connection through light.
Bidirectional, fully networked, high speed communications using the
light spectrum.
17
1,000x bandwidth of RF
Unprecedented speed potential
Higher data density
Energy efficient lighting + data
Inherently safe & secure
Bidirectional
Centimetre accurate location
License exempt spectrum
Planned 5G/WiFi interop
Why Add LiFi?
18
How it works
The communications backhaul connects to the LiFi Access Point (AP) via a wired connection. The AP connected to an LED modulates the light at super fast speeds to send data.
19
How it works
Data is received back to the AP using a photo sensitive receiver.

Smart Lighting
Every light can independently controlled
25
- Light can be contained within walls.
- Each light has it’s own IP address so secure data
can be geofenced to certain areas.
- Assets can be tracked based own their location
under each light.
A LiFi Use Case
Secure Office Networking with LiFi
26
- LiFi can achieve approximately 1,000 times the
data density of Wi-Fi offering more data per square
metre which reduces the need to share the
wireless bandwidth with other users.
- Each LiFi enabled light provides each user with
data speeds which are not compromised by the
number of active users.
- You can simply extend your lighting network to
increase your bandwidth.
A LiFi Use Case
Data Density for Enterprise
27
- LiFi enabled lights have their own separate IP
address which can be used to gather important
behavioural patterns by tracking users movements
within a particular environment.
- Location services can be extremely influential for
retails and leisure establishments who can use LiFi
to improve attractions, exhibits or stores to
increase performance or sales acquisitions by
using influential metrics.
A LiFi Use Case
Location Services in Retail & Leisure
28
Industry 4.0 and most modern production facilities struggle with
radio frequency interference. However LiFi can not only provide
wireless communications in modern connected manufacturing
facilities. LiFi can enable industry 4.0 with fast reliable and safe
wireless communications.
A LiFi Use Case
LiFi conquering RF interference.
LiFi Adoption
29
65 Deployments
20 Countries
16 Use Cases
Smart Buildings
“The installation of high bandwidth LiFi in our offices fits our vision and perfectly fits with our client’s demands of increased mobility, system security and connectivity. “
Pierre Sorel, Sogeprom’s Deputy CEO
Leisure and Tourism Crantec LDA Integrated LiFi technology
in a smart table with a touch display for
use in the leisure and tourism industries
in Portugal.
The table offers reliable and fast wireless
communications.
The Secure Wireless Mobile Headquarters of the Future LiFi, which uses the visible light spectrum
instead of radio frequencies for high-speed
wireless data communication, offers
substantially greater security and safety, as
well as helping to reduce infrastructure
complexity and energy consumption.
We see LiFi in every light
every device connecting
everything and everyone
