LI-FI – THE FUTURE OF INTERNET

Li-Fi - The Future Of Internet

Somewhere during the school days, I watched, Steven Spielberg’s flick ‘Minority Report’ and ended up imitating the Tom Cruise for next few days, the movie had created a huge impact on a teenager like me and I mimicked many interesting scenes of changing the screen with 3D Technology helplessly. Even after more than a decade the movie has not lost its charm and has made worthy impressions on our minds. Surprisingly, the many technologies discussed and practiced in the movie have already found the ground of reality, such as facial recognition, voice-automated home, driverless cars and much more.

Having said that the future is all about technology can never be wrong and interestingly technology has originated some of the most interesting features around, which have not just made our life easier but convenient as well. When you discuss the internet, the world of possibilities gets opened in front of you, where you can access what you require in a way you prefer. Due to the Wi-Fi internet facility, to access the internet, on your bed, in a café and even at the most cozy areas of your home have become possible. Wi-Fi has been a blessing to access the internet facility, although it comes with its own baggage of limitations, like cost, speed, limited area connectivity and security issues followed by many others. On the contrary, there is another internet facility offered through Li-Fi. Hey, it does not sound so familiar? Well, many of us already know about Li-Fi but for some, it is all total new concept to be discussed. Let’s dig into the facts related to Li-Fi further.

What Is Li-Fi

The first time I heard this term, I thought my friend is playing a prank on me by calling it Li-Fi, but actually, he was not, although I had to dig the internet for 2 consecutive hours to learn more about it. Li-Fi or Light Fidelity is an internet providing wireless communication which runs on the household LED light bulbs to transfer the data 224 gigabits per seconds. This invention was made by the physicist Harald Haas, a Professor of Mobile Communications, School of Engineering / Institute of Digital Communications at the University of Edinburgh and Chief Technical Officer (CTO) in the year 2011. Li-Fi, unlike the Wi-Fi, runs on visible light.

How It Functions

Li-Fi also works on transmitting data, except one fact that it uses visible lights to run, it works as per the photo-detector to receive light signals and the signal processing converts the data into ‘stream-able’ content. It is a little technical, but just to explain it further in a non-technical way, a LED light bulb is a semiconductor light source, which means the current of electricity supplied to a LED light bulb can be dipped and dimmed, without being noticed by humans. The data is fed onto the LED light bulb through signal processing technology and then it is sent further at rapid speeds to the photodetector (photodiode). The tiny changes in the rapid dimming of LED bulbs are then converted by the ‘receiver’ into electrical signals, which convert into a binary data stream to run on the internet enables devices.

Advantages of Li-Fi

The Li-Fi is actually a mind-blowing technology and has stirred the world of wireless transmission since it does not require any router, wire or devices to help transmit the data. We all love technology and it would be a blessing to get connected to internet services at a larger level, with this technology you merely need a LED light bulb and start the transmission. Let’s understand the advantages associated with the usage of Li-Fi:

• Network Congestion at An Arm Distance

Unlike the Wi-Fi, the Li-Fi technology integrates the use of light instead of radio waves to transmit the data. The spectrum of Wi-Fi is getting chaotic as the days are passing due to the number of users connecting every second, on the contrary, the Li-Fi spectrum is around 10,000 times bigger being compared to Wi-Fi, so Li-Fi has much more to offer.

• Pocket & Infra Friendly

Li-Fi totally depends on LED bulb technology, which consists of fewer components and does not make holes in your pocket. Also, setting the infrastructure of Li-Fi involves a LED bulb, which is equivalent to switching on your drawing room lamp.

• Optimal Speed

Due to the use of LED bulb in the Li-Fi technology, the data transmission rate is approximately 10 Gbps, which could even cross the 100 Gbps if use lasers. With such a high speed, a user can download an HD full movie in the fraction of seconds.

• Security Is Not A Concern

The signals in Li-Fi technology, are carried by optical light, which cannot penetrate the brick & mortar structure, it further makes the security a much safer aspect. It also does not interfere with radio signals, due to the technology, which is based on the technology of Visible Light Communication (VLC) and comes into action within nanoseconds by switching on the LED bulbs.

• Goes Well With IoT

IoT is certainly the most compelling aspect of technology and Li-Fi accentuate the demand of IoT gadgets fully since it works on LED bulb, and within every premise, getting a LED bulb is not challenging.

Limitations

Albeit, Li-Fi has a great number of advantages, but there lies the crux of the story in the limitations shared by the Li-Fi technology. Let’s learn about it further:

• Due to LED light, on which the Li-Fi technology is based upon, the light cannot penetrate the walls, but it explains that once the user moves out of the room, would lose the connection.
• The light as a basic resource for this technology limits the usage to some particular locations and regions only.

Due to the upsurge demand of the mobile app, our mobile phones have become everything we need. It has become our compact assistant, which fits our pocket size; whether we want to call people, play music, click the pics, share on social media and our wallet followed by much more to be written here. With such demand, a Li-Fi can be a blessing to fit the size of your requirements.

DUBAI- NEXT SILICON VALLEY OF THE WORLD

I love to travel and given a chance, I can travel like a nomad for the rest of my life and can settle at last, in my dream destination, which has evolved over the years and has subsumed the beauty of the world, it is Dubai- my favorite city, a city of dreams and a business possibility for many. It would be unfair not to discuss the worlds most prestigious and popular tourist attractions in Dubai, which entice visitors from different sectors, nationalities to come to the shores of this city and experience the luxuries offered by this city. As the report suggests, Dubai, is one of the five fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the world. The population of United Arab Emirate has exploded from less than a million a decade ago to almost 3 million today; about 80 percent of those are expats. Although the decline in oil prices has almost put the other Middle Eastern economies at some risk, but Dubai, has certainly drawn tech talent from around the world and has become the emerging tech-market of the world.

Technology is Promoted by Government

Year 2014 witnessed a major overhaul decision, which aimed to make the emirate more attractive for technology firms and supporting the job market, consequently it would make Dubai to make a pace with the most innovative and creative cities of the world in the next seven years as part of UAE’s Vision 2021. To give this vision a life UAE government has invested AED 4.5 billion and even declared 2015 the ‘Year of Innovation’, motivating technological development and tech heads to walk down on the innovation path more aggressively.

Taxation Relief

Dubai has become the favorite zone for startups and entrepreneurs to invest, due to the relief of taxation; Dubai’s import duty is merely 5%, which makes the buying of materials and products at much affordable. The well-developed, sophisticated banking system in the UAE lets extensive credit facilities and ample liquidity. On the other hand real estate in Dubai is quite reasonable compared to other global cities like Singapore and Hong Kong. As per the UAE property web portal Bayut.com, offices in Dubai can be rented for only AED 25,000 ($6,806) per annum, which surely makes the Dubai an investment hub for the budding IT investors and entrepreneurs.

JAFZA

The Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority (JAFZA) has been key to foreign investment in Dubai since its creation in 1985. Since 2011, only JAFZA-registered offshore companies have been able to purchase real estate in Dubai. Although foreign individuals have been allowed to own property in Dubai since 2002, many investors choose to invest through JAFZA companies in order to avoid local laws, which can interfere with the succession and transfer of properties.

Financially & Politically Stable

No doubt, Dubai is the city of dreams, it has money, entertainment, luxury and most importantly it is the emerging tech destination also. Dubai is an entry point to the fast-developing markets of Asia, the Middle East and Africa, but apart from these strategic points, there are demographic and political reasons as well, which makes Dubai a hub of innovation and investment. Dubai is a part of the UAE, which has the lowest crime rate and is the politically and financially stable.

Ample Opportunities for Trading Links

Dubai is a trade link bridge between the Far East and Europe on the East-West axis and the CIS and Africa on the north-south axis. It has ample supplies of cheap energy and primary aluminum, Dubai’s international trade has grown on average by over 11% per year, highly accessible via 120 shipping lines and linked via 85 airlines to over 130 global destinations, does not have exchange controls, quotas or trade barriers. Dubai has a huge transportation and trading infrastructure and has a huge deepwater port, Jebel Ali Port, that lets the trade flow from the Gulf, Africa and the Indian subcontinent.

Flexible Business Rules

The UAE has a well defined, sound legal framework for business and a clear set of ownership rules, which allows foreigners to opt for the ownership rights of up to 49% for limited liability companies established within the Emirate of Dubai and up to 100% for professional companies, branches and representative offices of foreign companies and free zone enterprises. Dubai is investing vigorously in transport, telecommunications, energy and industrial infrastructure.

Fusion of Different Cultures

UAE consists of seven emirates; Dubai is one of them and is a cosmopolitan society, which has the population and business from over 150 countries. From the security perspective, it has the most secured and stringent e-governance protocols.

To conclude, Dubai is certainly the next destination for technology and innovation; companies like Careem, Bridg, Souq.com have already scaled the technology business in Dubai. Dubai is also in the midst of preparations for World Expo 20/20, expected to draw 25 million visits from Oct. 20, 2020, to April 10, 2021. Lower taxes make Dubai a natural choice for entrepreneurs, and Dubai is seen as a tech hub in the Middle East and it would be known as the next Silicon Valley of the world.
