The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has certified 802.11bb as a standard for light-based wireless communications—this development was announced yesterday, and warmly received by numerous Li-Fi businesses operating around the world, including pureLiFi and Fraunhofer HHI. These organizations hope that the (currently niche market) technology will get adopted at a greater rate thanks to the IEEE's approval. Proponents of the standard proclaim that it is "faster, more reliable wireless communications with unparalleled security compared to conventional technologies such as Wi-Fi and 5G (radio frequency networks)."
pureLiFi boasts that their Light Antenna ONE module is on the cusp of being ready for mass production: "This innovative device is the result of groundbreaking work by world-renowned LiFi engineers and marks a significant milestone in the development of LiFi technology. With Light Antenna ONE, millions of people can now be connected through light, opening up a new world of possibilities for high-speed, secure, and reliable communication. The design of this cutting-edge module enables mass integration of LiFi technology for the first time, paving the way for a future where LiFi plays a crucial role in our daily lives." Sample units can be sent to OEMs for evaluation purposes—the baseband agnostic (802.11 and G.hn) EVK consists of a solderable castellated module and motherboard.
Fraunhofer HHI has produced a video introducing Indoor LiFi systems:
According to LiFi.co's promo material: "LiFi is a new technology developed to address this need and with LiFi, your light bulb is essentially your router. It uses common household LED light bulbs to enable data transfer, boasting speeds of up to 224 GB per second. Considering that the fastest WiFi in the 60 GHz frequency band, WiGig, can achieve a maximum data rate of 7 GB per second, LiFi speed is 100 times faster than that! Not only that, but the rate per square meter or area data rate of a LiFi network can be 1,000 times higher than the area data rate of a WiFi network."
