INTRODUCTION alleviate the congestion experienced in RF bands, Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) technology, a form of wireless promising a future where both technologies coexist communication that utilizes visible light instead of to meet global communication needs. traditional radio frequencies, has emerged as a promising alternative for high-speed data Despite the potential of Li-Fi, its effectiveness is transmission. Unlike Wi-Fi, which relies on radio highly dependent on the alignment between the waves, Li-Fi uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to transmitter (LED light source) and the receiver transmit data at extremely high speeds, offering (photodiode). Unlike RF signals, which can advantages such as higher bandwidth, enhanced penetrate walls and work over longer distances, security, and reduced interference. These visible light requires a direct line of sight to ensure characteristics make Li-Fi an attractive option for optimal performance. As a result, any deviation in environments where radio frequency (RF) the alignment between the transmitter and communication is impractical or undesirable, such receiver can significantly impact the quality of the as in hospitals, aircraft, and underground facilities. signal and the data transmission rate.
