Light -Fidelity Technology in Hospital Equipment Communication
Introduction
Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) is one of the most anticipated technologies in flexible communication of devices. Li-Fi technology uses light-emitting diodes to provide high-speed communication means. There are increasing studies on the use of Li-Fi because of it bandwidth capability and speed in transferring communication. This technology can be applied facilitate communication among hospital equipment because of its effectiveness.
Technology description
Development of Li-Fi communication mechanisms in hospital equipment is a vital technology invention. Unlike Wi-Fi technology that uses radio wave communication, Li-Fi can use light waves generated by powered Light –Emitting Diodes (LEDs). Photo detectors can be used to detect light wave signals and translate them into digital communication. Variation of LED enables transmission of data at a high speed hence creating efficient communication cycle among the equipment fitted with LEDs. Different communication ways are achieved through adjustment of illumination and the frequency of light flashing.
Business benefits description
Li-Fi can be a cost friendly method of data transmission because of its high speed. Adoption of Li-Fi technology by different institutions can significantly cut on their data costs. The existing data transmissions methods like Wi-Fi are subjects to speed limit depending on existing configurations. Li-Fi therefore serves as an effective communication method for hospital equipment and other appliances. Since the method relies on different forms of light it can be commercially used in different sectors like airline, under water explorations, and in data centers. Additionally, this method is more secure, thus making it suitable...
