LiFi, obu buchwephesha abaphandi abaninzi bazama ukusenza silibale nge-WiFi kwaye olona phawu lwayo lusisiseko sokukhanya, sele ifikelele kwinqanaba elitsha ukusukela ngoku sifunda ukuba ayinakunikezela kuphela nge-bandwidth okanye ngozinzo olungenakuze luze i-WiFi ukufikelela, kodwa ngoku, enkosi kolu phando lwamva nje, kunjalo ukuya kumaxesha angama-100 ngokukhawuleza.
Okumangalisayo kukuba, abaphandi bale projekthi bebesebenza ukusombulula enye yeengxaki ezinolu hlobo lwetekhnoloji, ezinje ngokuba isibane masikhanyiswe maxa onke. Ukuyicombulula le nto bebekhe bazama ngayo imitha infrared abafumene ngayo iziphumo ezilungileyo kakhulu.
I-LiFi ngokuthe ngcembe iba yeyona ndlela iyiyo kwi-WiFi.
Okwangoku, xelela ukuba itekhnoloji yoqhakamshelwano lweLiFi ayisiyonto intsha kuba ivavanyiwe kwiilebhu ukusukela ngo-2011 nangona, kude kube ngo-2015, yayingavavanywa kwindawo yokwenyani. Okwangoku, njengoko besesitshilo, kusekho iingxaki ezinzulu ekufuneka zisonjululwe, ezinje ngale siyikhankanyileyo okanye into yokuba ukukhanya akunakudlula kwiindonga. Nangona kunjalo, uJoanne Oh, intloko yeprojekthi kunye nogqirha kwiYunivesithi yase-Eindhoven, ulawule, esebenzisa i-infrared, uthotho lwemitha engenabungozi ebantwini, ukuphuhlisa unxibelelwano lwe ukuya kuthi ga kwi-42,8 Gbps kumgama weemitha ezi-2,5.
Ukusombulula ingxaki yeendonga, inkqubo iphuhlisiwe ine- Ii-eriyali ekufuneka zifakelwe endlwini yethu yonke. Ngale ndlela siyakudibanisa intambo ye-fiber optic kwenye yazo, siqinisekise ukuba yonke inethiwekhi yasekhaya iyasebenza. Enye yeenzuzo eziphambili zeLiFi ye-infrared kukusebenzisa kwayo amandla asezantsi, into ethetha ukuba akukho mfuneko yokuba sizondle ngee-eriyali ngamandla kuba amandla amancinci abawadingayo eza kuza ngentambo ye-fiber optic uqobo.
