Li-Fi : Will It Be Great Alternative To WiFi?

Li-Fi, a super-fast alternative to Wi-Fi is finally getting in real world with its massive speed. It can provide upto 1 Gbps, which is 100 times faster than current Wi-Fi. So one can download a full HD movie within few seconds.

What is Li-Fi?

Light Fidelity or Li-Fi is a wireless technology allows data to be sent at high speed using visible light communication (VLC). It uses IEEE standard 802.11 a/e for its wireless communication.

Li-Fi allows user great security on local networks as light can not pass through walls provides less interference between devices. The technology offers great speed of 224 Gbps in perfect Lab conditions. Li-Fi could be much more cheaper than Wi-Fi.

Disadvantages:

• As the system uses light spectrum to send and receive data, the range of the system is very limited as light can not pass through walls. 
• The reflected light from walls can downgrade the performance of this system which can affect its reliability.

The inventor of Li-Fi, Professor Harald Hass from university of Edinburgh, has claimed that in the future every LED light bulb could be used as ultra-fast alternative to Wi-Fi. Hass said, "In the future we will not only have 14 billion light bulbs, we may have 14 billion Li-Fis deployed worldwide for a cleaner, greener and more bright future."  It is difficult to create a whole new infrastructure for Li-Fi so it will be a challenge to integrate current systems to make it compatible with Li-Fi.

Apple's New A9 Chipset Explained, Manufactured By Two Different Companies!

The "Performance Beast" all new iPhone 6S is rocking the market with its high-end specifications. But do you know? The heart of this phone, the all new A9 chip-set is NOT manufactured by Apple. It is designed by Apple but manufactured by two different companies, TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) & Samsung (Yes, Samsung! The biggest rival of Apple). Apple contracted these two companies for A9 processor. Why two companies? well answer is simple, due its huge quantity (13 million processors)!

Now here is the twist, the chip-set made by TSMC & chip-set made by Samsung are not exactly the same. Well TSMC built chip-set is slightly bigger in dimensions than Samsung built chip-set.(TSMC chip is 104.5 mm square while Samsung chip is 96 mm square). 

Does it matter to the performance and battery life of your device? The answer is Yes ! Bigger the chip, better is the performance and better is the battery life. That means TSMC running 6S is slightly better than Samsung  running 6S. If you are heavy phone user then only it makes slight difference in the performance and battery life. The TSMC chip-set does better job than Samsung chip-set; but you will hardly notice any difference if you are average phone user. Otherwise both the chip-set performs just fine.

The only way to check which company made A9 for your 6S is to download the 'Lirium' App available on Apple Store (after you buy the iPhone 6S). For iPhone 6S the chip-set code N71mAP (TSMC) & N71AP (Samsung) and for iPhone 6S+ it is N766mAP (TSMC) & N66AP (Samsung).
