The expanding dominance of interconnected IoT devices has broadened the lengths of data creation across the globe.

The desire to accommodate the large volumes of growing data with improved security and high-speed connectivity creates strong demands for Li-Fi/Light Fidelity technology. This wireless communication technology uses a light source(LED or infrared light) with a chip that works as a Li-Fi emitter to transmit an internet signal. This green technology can reach a speed of 224Gbit/s and help us connect to the internet, where electromagnetic radiation is prohibited. Li-Fi technology will change the ways of data transfer in stores, aeroplanes, streets, hospitals and various other places without interference.

With the potential to transfer data at lightning speed with the help of a light source, can the maturity of this technology pin its value as a major player in the growth market?
