LiFi means transmitting data with a light beam spectrum through open space in outdoor and indoor environments. LiFi systems provide ultra-fast data connections, and are especially useful in urban areas where radio spectra are congested, and also very useful in Rural areas wherein Fiber Optic Cables or networks are not reachable. Till now, only large, well-funded organizations have been able to developed LiFi – Wireless Optical Communication technology such as Nav Wireless Technologies Pvt Ltd in India.
