Whether LiFi technology is a carcinogen or not?

LiFi (light fidelity) is a bidirectional wireless alternative to WiFi that uses visible light to
transmit data. Using LED light bulbs to access the Internet, LiFi has several advantages over
WiFi including speed, energy efficiency, safety and security.

Data transmission speeds of up to 224 gigabits per second have been achieved in research
labs, that’s equivalent to a download of 18 movies in one second. With the addition of a small
microchip, energy efficient LED lights can become data access points, providing both light and
wireless Internet transmission. Unlike WiFi, LiFi does not transmit radio frequencies but
instead uses the visible light spectrum, which is considered by many to be harmless to humans
and nature.

The light spectrum is also 10,000 times broader than the radio spectrum, providing greater
bandwidth than WiFi. Light cannot travel through walls and ceilings thereby LiFi provides a
more secure environment which can’t be hacked remotely.

For the researches that I have read to get to this conclusion that LIFI is not a carcinogen
technology from current studies. As the implementation of LIFI increases in real time data will
provide more accurate facts regarding it harms on human health.
