LiFi internet breakthrough: 224Gbps connection broadcast with an LED bulb

LiFi internet breakthrough: 224Gbps connection broadcast with an LED bulb


Researchers at the University of Oxford have reached a new milestone in networking by using light fidelity (Li-Fi) to achieve bi-directional speeds of 224 gigabits per second (Gbps). To put this in perspective, 100Gbps fibre optic core networks have only become a reality in recent years and have yet to become ubiquitous. Li-Fi is still a long way from being used commercially, but by way of illustration, using a 224Gbps speed would technically allow for 30 movies...
