Li-Fi uses light to send information, through the air. The world already uses light to transfer data with fiber optic cables, during the transfer there is no data loss with fiber cables, Li-Fi will be using light but through the air, moving data through the air is more challenging because there is no guide the signal to show where it needs to go.
