ABSTRACT
Now a days with the advent of technology,, communication became the backbone of ICT. ICT had made our globe like a town. Today everyone (Businees,institutions ,organizations ,entreprenuers is thrust for getting right information at the right time and right place .Which, requires fast internet connectivity, Technology and large spectrum of channels. Present paper reflects the Future of Communication (LI-FI) which may affect all lives. It a technology that may be as fast as 500MBPS (30GBPS per minute) an alternative, cost effective and more robust and useful than Wi-Fi. The Visible light communication which may be the future of Internet

Researchers at the Heinrich Hertz institute in Berlin, Germany have reached data rates of over 500 MBPS using a standard white light LED. Dr. Herald Hass also has setup a spin-off firm to sell a VLC transmitter.Even more sophisticated and advance techniques are undergoing development at the University of oxford and the University of Edinburgh. Teams from University of oxford and University of Edinburgh are focusing on parallel data transmission using arrays of LEDs, where each LED transmits a different data stream while other groups are mixtures of red, green and blue LEDs to alter the lights frequency, with each frequency encoding a data channel. Today researchers are working for its feasibility and designing the hardware equipments required for making the technology robust and usable. Li-FI- technology has higher potential, it is very much possible to transmit the data via light by changing the flicker rate that provide different strings of 1 and 0, and its intensity is modulated so quickly that the human eyes cannot notice. There are around 19 billion light emits worldwide. Which in turns may be replaced by LED, i.e. potential source of transmitting data? At the heart of this technology is a new generation of high brightness (LED) light emitting diodes, says Herald Hass, from the University of Edinburg, U.K. Very simply, if the LED is on, you transmit a digital 1 if its off, you transmit a 0, They can be switched on and off very quickly, which gives nice opportunities for connectivity and transfer the data very quickly, efficiently and accurate without any external hindrances.

INTRODUCTION
Internet services are very very highly demanding and essential accessories in ICT. As per the Cisco Survey of the usability of the existing spectrum, we are presently using about 80% of the existing capabilities of the data utilization. Presently we are utilizing the Wi-Fi services within the campus and around the 10-100 meter distances to connect our P.C., Laptops, palmtops and P.C. notes etc. Present paper deals with the visible light communication which may provide a wide and fast data rate like something 500MBPS. Study made comparison between WI-Fi and LI-Fi. And other important parameters of the communication process.

TECHNICAL PRESENTATION OF THE VISIBLE LIGHT COMMUNICATION LIGHT FIDELITY

Diagram mentioned below shows the topological representation how the LI-FI will work in the offices and work place. Diagram shows that how the visual light communication communicates to connect the different devices and media and also shows the probable path of the communication and of course transmitting the data and audio-video signals. In addition to how the peripheral devices may be utilized optimally.

This technology has higher potential, it is very much possible to transmit the data via light by changing the flicker rate that gives different stings of 1 and 0, and its intensity is modulated so quickly that the human eyes cannot notice.

APPLICATION of LI-FI ADVANTAGES OVER Wi-Fi

&

ITS

1 High speed, as high as 500mbps or 30GB per minute 2. Li- Fi uses light rather than radio frequency signals, 3. VLC could be used safely in aircraft, 4. Integrated into medical devices and in hospitals as this technology does not deal with radio waves, so it can easily be used in such places where Bluetooth, infrared, Wi-Fi and internet are banned. In this way, it will be most helpful transferring medium for us. 5. Under water in sea Wi-Fi does not work at. 6. There are around 19 billion bulbs worldwide, they just need to be replaced with LED ones that transmit data. We reckon VLC is at a factor of ten, cheaper than WI-FI. 7. Security is another benefit, he points out, since light does not penetrate through walls. 8. In streets for traffic control. Cars have LED based headlights, LED based backlights, and Car can communicate each other and prevent accidents in the way that they exchange Information. Traffic light can communicate to the car and so on. 9. By implementing the Technology worldwide every street lamp would be a free access point. 10. Li-Fi may solve issues such as the shortage of radio frequency bandwidth.

least because it may offer a genuine and very efficient alternative to radio-based wireless. As a growing number of people and their many devices access wireless internet, on one way, it can transmit the data at higher rate and on the other it is very cheap as compared with WI-FI .The airwaves are becoming increasingly clogged, making it more and more difficult to get a reliable, high-speed signal. This may solve issues such as the shortage of radiofrequency bandwidth and also allow internet where traditional radio based wireless isnt allowed such as aircraft or hospitals.

DISADVANTAGES
Still there are some backdrops like it can only transmit when in the line of sight well it can be sorted out someday I hope. There has been a lot of early hype, and there are some very good applications.

CONCLUSION
The possibilities are numerous and can be explored further. If this technology can be put into practical use, every bulb can be used something like a Wi-Fi hotspot to transmit wireless data and we will proceed toward the cleaner, greener, safer and brighter future. The concept of Li-Fi is currently attracting a great deal of interest, not
