Comparasion between Li-Fi and Wi-F i without any doubt Li-fi technology exceed Wi-Fi in many aspects, So it can be considered future technology because of its speed as well as cheep cost but nonetheless we can't dispensing with Wi-fi especially in the near future ,so It should be used side by side to reduce the pressure on the frequencies of Wi-Fi .
Li-Fi Vs Wi-Fi
Parameter Li-Fi Wi-Fi
Speed for data transfer Data transfer speed >1Gbps Data transfer speed 150 Mbps

Medium through which data transfer Light medium radio waves
Coverage distance About 10 meters About 32 meters privacy In Li-Fi, light can't transmit through walls and hence will provide more secure data transfer. In Wi-Fi, Radio frequency signal cannot be pass through by the walls …show more content…

Applications of Li-Fi :
Through this technology, the bulbs in homes, offices and streets will be able to light in addition it is able to transfer data wirelessly at high speed where can be used in Radio Frequency restricted area.
a) Education systems: Li-Fi is the latest technology that can provide fastest speed internet access. So, it can replace Wi-Fi at educational institutions and at companies so that all the people can make use of Li-Fi with the same speed intended in a particular area. b) Medical Applications: Operation theatres (OTs) do not allow Wi-Fi due to radiation concerns. Usage of Wi-Fi at hospitals interferes with the mobile and pc which blocks the signals for monitoring equipments. So, it may be hazardous to the patient's health. To overcome this and to make OT tech savvy Li-Fi can be used to accessing internet and to control medical equipments. This can even be beneficial for robotic surgeries and other automated procedures.
c) Cheaper Internet in Aircrafts: The passengers travelling in aircrafts get access to low speed internet at a very high rate. Also Wi-Fi is not used because it may interfere with the navigational systems of the pilots. In aircrafts Li-Fi can be used for data transmission. Li-Fi can easily provide high speed internet via every light source such as overhead reading bulb, etc. present inside the
