Future perspective LiFiWe aspire to integrate LIFI in all relevant devices that need a wireless connection.

So that devices will switch between networks automatically

As an indoor 5G companion, WiFi is not a fantastic fit. Even we have developments like WiFi6, it’s still radio, and it’s still crowded.

Where 5G has difficulty of getting indoors, LiFi can provide matching speeds and be much more cyber secure as well. You need to be in the line of sight to get access. It doesn’t leak out of the building; just shut the door and you’ll be fine
