The Future of LiFi: Prof Fary Ghassemlooy on the future use of Optical Wireless Communication

Each year, 4 billion WiFi chips are integrated into various devices, including smartphones, laptops, and IoT products. While WiFi has become ubiquitous, there is growing interest in alternative wireless technologies like LiFi that promise more secure and interference-free communication. Professor Fary Ghassemlooy, an expert in Optical Wireless Communication (OWC), sees OWC as a complement to radio communication, offering potential benefits in specific applications: It eliminates exposure to RF radiation, making it suitable for use in schools It provides more secure communication in environments like manufacturing, government offices, and hospitals. It reduces risk of eavesdropping and signal jamming compared to WiFi The tangibility of light-based wireless communication, as opposed to invisible radio waves, could also bring a new "magic" to wireless technology. This perspective was highlighted during a recent PhD defense at Eindhoven University of Technology, where Professor Ghassemlooy was invited as an expert.
