Welcome to the Li-Fi Consortium Li-Fi is a new paradigm for optical wireless technology to provide unprecendented connectivity within a localized data-centric environment. The increasing demand for higher bandwidths, faster and more secure data transmission as well as environmental and undoubtedly human friendly technology heralds the start of a major shift in wireless technology, a shift from RF to optical technologies. The Li-Fi Consortium The Li-Fi consortium is a non-profit organization, devoted to introduce optical wireless technology. The Li-Fi consortium’s charter members are a leading group of international technology companies and research institutions in optical communication technology. The groupe is based on a collectively developed concept and roadmap to establish a new wireless technology in the market, which exceeds the abilities and qualities of wireless RF technology. The Li-Fi Consortium has several purposes:
