Benefits Of LIFI
Multiple surveys that aim to highlight the feasibility of this innovation in practice have also been conducted. For instance, Memon et al. (2017) performed a study to ascertain the feasibility of LIFI in the modern world by evaluating the standardization process, market acceptance, and production trends. This particular survey’s outcomes linked LIFI’s practicability with leaps in data rates in less than a decade. The aforementioned findings were consistent with the notion that light has a wider bandwidth than radiofrequency waves. The outcomes showed that the bandwidth of LIFI is 10,000 more than radio waves; it is also 1000 times broader than the information/data density of WIFI (Abdullah et al., 2020; Bin, 2018; Egjam et al., 2015; Memon et al., 2017).
The system’s hardware has also gone through a revolutionary range, with the size being reduced to over 50% (Memon et al., 2017). Other benefits of the system include efficiency, transmission capacity, cost-effectiveness, and security (Abdullah et al., 2020; Bin, 2018; Egjam et al., 2015; Memon et al., 2017). The cost of LED lights is also relatively cheap, and the VLC can reduce the architecture cost for a hotspot.
