According to Shi Nan , LED bulb fitted with microchips has data rate of up to 150 megabits per second, which is more than average broadband speeds.

Harald Haas of Britain's University of Edinburgh and the technology has named it - LiFi (Li-Fi) . Being Light Communication it is named as Li-Fi on the basis of Wi-Fi.
