F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, LiFiMAX replaces traditional wired connections to devices such as computers, laptops, and other wireless devices.
Yes, LiFiMAX products are radiation-free because they utilize light signals instead of radio waves for wireless communication.
The impact of radiation from radio waves, such as those used in Wi-Fi and antennas, is an important topic of societal debate. Unlike Wi-Fi, LiFi is radiation-free.
Many people, for various reasons, prefer to live in an environment free of radiation. (See also legislation, such as the Loi Abeille from 2015 in France).
In most cases, no new software installation is required. The dongle used with LiFiMAX can typically be connected without additional software and functions as a plug-and-play device.
The access point is best mounted in a central location within the space, preferably on the ceiling, for optimal coverage.
Yes, LiFiMAX can provide internet to large spaces, depending on the number of access points used and the network configuration.
First, check if all components of the LiFiMAX system are properly installed and turned on. If there is still no connection, check for any obstacles between the access point and the dongle that may affect signal reception.
Fibre Optic internet connection and slow Wifi
You’ve signed up for a blazing-fast fiber-optic internet subscription, but your Netflix still stutters when you try to watch a movie. Why is that?
The Wi-Fi connection inside your home is often the biggest bottleneck for subscribers with high-speed internet, as revealed in a recent study. The internet entering your home may be fast, but your wireless router may struggle to distribute that signal throughout the house.
To get the optimal speed from a fiber subscription, it’s best to connect devices via an Ethernet cable. However, that requires running cables throughout your home. “This is particularly interesting for gamers, as a Wi-Fi network will always respond more slowly than a wired connection.”
With LIFIMAX equipment, there’s no need to connect to an Ethernet cable to each device. Stay comfortably on your couch and enjoy the convenience of LIFI. With a single access point, up to 16 devices can connect to the internet simultaneously, cable-free and with low latency. Explore our range of LIFI products today and enjoy your fast Fibre Optic internet connection safe.
The PoE cable is usually connected to a PoE switch or PoE injector, which in turn is connected to your network and power source.
A Power over Ethernet (PoE) cable is an Ethernet cable that can transmit both power and data to PoE-compatible devices, such as the LiFiMAX access point.
Yes, as long as the PoE cable meets the required specifications and is compatible with the LiFiMAX access point, you can use it. However, ensure that the PoE cable can deliver the appropriate power for the access point.
Myths and Facts About LiFi (Light Fidelity)
| Myth | Fact |
| Li-Fi is slower than Wi-Fi. | Fact: Li-Fi can achieve data transfer rates measured in gigabits per second, surpassing those of traditional Wi-Fi in certain scenarios. |
| Li-Fi requires direct “line-of-sight” communication. | Fact: While early implementations of Li-Fi relied heavily on line-of-sight, recent advancements enable non-line-of-sight communication using reflective surfaces and beamforming techniques. |
| Li-Fi is not secure because light signals can be easily intercepted. | Fact: Li-Fi can be as secure, if not more secure, than Wi-Fi, utilizing advanced encryption techniques like AES to secure data transmission. The directional nature of light signals also enhances security by limiting signal leakage. |
| Li-Fi is impractical for outdoor use due to ambient light interference. | Fact: While ambient light can affect Li-Fi performance, advancements in modulation schemes and LED technology enable reliable outdoor deployment, even in brightly lit environments |
| Li-Fi is still in the experimental stage and not ready for practical implementation. | Fact: Li-Fi technology has progressed significantly, with successful trials and pilot projects showcasing its feasibility in real-world scenarios. Standardization efforts are also underway to establish industry-wide protocols for Li-Fi. |
Conclusion
Li-Fi technology holds immense promise for revolutionizing wireless communication, so separating fact from fiction amidst the myriad of myths and misconceptions surrounding it will allow for the technology to flourish as a palpable and interoperable WiFi alternative. Contrary to popular belief, the advantages of LiFi situate it not as just a mere variation of Wi-Fi, but instead represents a fundamentally different approach to data transmission with its own set of challenges and benefits.
