APPLICATION OF LI-FI WITHIN ORGANIZATION
Executive Summary
This report will be summarizing the knowledge and information gathered while
researching on the application of Li-Fi technology. The wireless technology have become the
integral part of the individuals’ life and it is being utilized throughout every possible sector in
the present world. The research is based on the analysis of the Li-Fi technology and how it
could be installed within the enterprises for delivering necessary daily operational activities.
The purpose is to analyse the application of Li-FI and identify the future aspects of the Li-Fi
within the existing system of the enterprises.
Introduction to research domain
Li-Fi has been one of the advanced wireless technology that can be considered as the
future technology allowing the enterprises to avail the maximum speed of data exchange
facility. Li-Fi stands for Light Fidelity that is a VLC (Visible Light Communication) system
that can allow the enterprises to exchange heavy loads of data with high speed. Current
adoption still include the installation of the routers and the networks that is allowing the
organizations for exchanging the data and information. Li-Fi is still not informed to every
individual of society and adoption rate is much more less than the other wired or wireless
network.
Research question
Following are the research questions developed for this report:
How much efficient could be Li-Fi for the enterprises?
Will it be capable of mitigating the issues in the present enterprise network scenarios?
What are the challenges and problems in the adoption of Li-Fi?

Literature Review
Li-Fi is capable of allowing the enterprises to transform the existing LEDs into
routers and allowing the organization to transform the heavy load of the data and information
among the different stakeholders of the organization. Sing and Vaish (2018) explained that
the Li-Fi technology accommodates the photo-detector in manner to allow the light signal
receiving and processing of the signal processing element in manner to again transform the
data or information into ‘streamable’ content. Perwej (2017) defined the “LED light bulb as a
semiconductor light source meaning that the constant current of electricity supplied to an
LED light bulb can be dipped and dimmed, up and down at extremely high speeds, without
being visible to the human eye.” The signal processing technology could be used for signal
processing technology and thereafter sending and sharing the data with much higher speed
after embedding the data in its beam (Soltani et al., 2017). According to (Divakar et al.,
2017), tiny changes within the rapid dimming of LED bulb can be used that can be
alternatively converted by the ‘receiver’ into electric signal. In manner to regain or retransfer
the collected data, the signals can be again converted into a binary data stream that will be
helpful in recognising the audio, video, and web applications those could be capable of
providing services using the internet-enabled devices (Zahrani, 2018). It is also identified that
the Li-Fi can gain much higher speed as compared to that of the Wi-Fi technology and it will
be assuring the exchange of the data and information up to 1 Gbps that is much
comparatively higher than the other wireless technology (Goswami & Shukla, 2017). The
light will be major medium for the travelling and exchange of the data and information and
hence, the developed network will be requiring the light for the exchange of the data and
information. Smartphone company ‘apple’ is looking forward to embed the Li-Fi technology
within the existing system (Kumbhar et al., 2017). Recent experiment in Dubai assured the

efficient and effective establishment of the Li-FI technology for exchanging different media
of the data and information.
Discussion/Analysis
The above literature review explains that the basic need of the enterprises ‘i.e. secure
and high speed exchange of the data and information over the network’ could be established
using the Li-FI technology. And hence, the reliability on this technology is higher as
compared to that of the Wi-Fi. The lagging factor is the availability of light and short range.
However, short range connectivity can be a positive value as it would be allowing the
organization in establishing a secured connection that can fulfil the basic needs and
requirements.
Findings
Li-Fi can provide the high speed interconnectivity between the internal staffs and the
consumers connected with the network
Higher speed than the Wi-Fi however, short range as compared to the Wi-Fi.
Much secured and large volume of data and information could be transformed over
the network.
Transmit and receiving can be smooth and faster with minimum consumption of
power.
Cost factor can decrease the rate of the growth of adoption.
Conclusion
It can be concluded that the Li-Fi technology can be the future technology that can
allow the organization to be dependent over the network. It can allow the enterprise in
managing the same delivered in an efficient and much secured way. The cost, range, and need

of light for transmission are the lagging factors those could also be helpful for the
organization in keeping their network highly secured. Answers of the questions have been
found using the literature review.
