Global LiFi Companies Applaud the Release of IEEE 802.11bb Global Light Communications Standard
For light-based wireless communications, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has added the 802.11bb standard. Global Li-Fi companies have welcomed the publication of the standard because it will hasten the acceptance and distribution of the data-transmission technology standard. Li-Fi proponents including pureLiFi, Fraunhofer HHI, and the Light Communications 802.11bb Task Group emphasise the benefits of employing light rather than radio frequencies (RF). In comparison to more established technologies like Wi-Fi and 5G, Li-Fi is stated to provide "faster, more reliable wireless communications with unparalleled security." It is envisaged that interoperability between Li-Fi systems and the successful Wi-Fi would be fully handled now that the IEEE 802.11bb Li-Fi standard has been established. Li-Fi won't entirely replace wired networks or the alternatives to Wi-Fi and 5G, of course. Radio waves co...
