The LiFi page claims much higher speeds. https://lifi.co/lifi-speed/ https://lifi.co/lifi-speed/

  Right, now look at this standard by comparison.

  That 224GB/s figure is some serious bullshitting. For comparison, the fastest optical ethernet transfer over fiber is 800Gbps or 100GB/s, and even that is over 8 fiber pairs and still in-development tech. Claiming to do over twice of that in free-space with "common household LED light bulbs" is pretty ridiculous.

    224GB/s is unrealistically fast but 9Gb/s unacceptably slow. A compromise of 9GB/s would perhaps be reasonable. 1/25th the speed would be manageable. "common household LED light bulbs" is pretty ridiculous." Likely so, but all we have to do for 9GB/s is to use the transmitters and receivers used in standard commercial fiber optics (or a suitable adaptation thereof) and we'd romp home.

    > That 224GB/s figure is some serious bullshitting It is the same for every new technology. It was the same with 4G, 5G. In DE mobile operators do not offer HSPA at the same time with 4G so you cannot compare how crap the 4G is.
