LiFi y su integración con la internet de las cosas

Abstract

In the document, a review of the literature on communication through visible light known as Light Fidelity (LiFi) and the Internet of Things (IoT) is carried out.For the above, a qualitative methodology of descriptive type is used, in order to identify the operation of LiFi technology; the advantages and disadvantages that it presents compared to other existing technologies; and the principles of operation and opportunities for the integration of the internet of things with LiFi as one of the pillars of development for smart cities. The conclusions of the review suggest that the integration of LED bulbs (Light Emitting Diode) with LiFi technology to IoT networks and cloud services, will allow the strengthening of connected LED lighting where new knowledge is provided and lighting can be considered as a service.
