How could Li-Fi enrich daily life? Anywhere there is LED lighting, there is an opportunity for Li-Fi
enabled applications. Li-Fi-enabled street lights could provide internet access to mobile phones, making
walking at night safer. The LED bulbs in traffic lights could provide drivers with weather conditions and
traffic updates. Li-Fi could help with tourism by providing an easier access to local information. At home,
smart light could also provide parents with solutions to their children's Internet addiction: Just turn off the
lights and you've turned off their access.
When 14 billion light bulbs mean 14 billion potential transmitters of wireless data, a cleaner, a greener,
and even a brighter future is on the way.
