Dubai To Roll Out High Speed Li-Fi This Year Where Internet Will Flow Through City’s Streetlights

Dubai will be the first city in the world to get the Li-Fi service. What is even more interesting is that Li-Fi service will be transmitted through the city’s streetlights. Each of these high-end design lamps would cost around $1000.

The first phase, planned for Dubai smart city will be rolled out by the end of this year.

What is LiFi?

Light Fidelity, or Li-Fi for short, has real world download speeds of multiple gigabytes per second. In laboratory settings, the speed was even more impressive, hitting a whopping 224GB per second.

LiFi vs WiFi

While Wi-Fi transmits data using radio waves, LiFi transmits data through LED light bulbs. With visible light, LiFi is able to transmit information at seriously high speeds. The only major worry about this tech is that since light cannot penetrate walls, it may not be as usual at homes!

    require a large amount of work? I’ve absolutely no expertise in computer
    programming but I was hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
    Anyway, should you have any suggestions or techniques for new blog owners please
