According to Business Wire, pureLiFi and Fraunhofer HHI, two global Li-Fi companies, have expressed their approval of the release of the new 802.11bb standard by IEEE. Li-Fi is a wireless technology that uses light, instead of radio frequencies, to transmit data. How it works By utilizing the light spectrum, Li-Fi can provide ‘faster’ and ‘more reliable’ wireless connectivity that is more secure than conventional technologies like WiFi and 5G. This means that Li-Fi is technically not designed to compete with Wi-Fi, as it is meant to be interoperable rather than an entirely distinct wireless system. https://youtu.be/kDqA1-ldTOI The Fraunhofer HHI video demonstrates a Li-Fi system that utilizes a building's lighting infrastructure for data transmission. Here’s a video demo from The Verge to better understand how it works: https://youtu.be/OpYejIKbluA The cons Although Li-Fi seems all promising, there are a few drawbacks to consider in its current development.

One of the major players in the Li-Fi industry, pureLiFi, has already developed the Light Antenna ONE module, which is 14.5mm component for LC and is currently being offered to OEMs for evaluation.
