E1.01 - Electro-Magicians: Light-Fidelity System (Li-FiS)
Li-Fi: Using light for wireless communications.
Sponsor: NASA-TSGC, Mr. George Salazar
Student Team: Patrick Towner, Yasmin Baqdounes, Nathan Boldt, Rupendra Chhetri
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Richard Compeau
The Electro-Magicians are investigating light-fidelity technology to demonstrate a prototype proof-of-concept of a wireless communication system that uses light to send and recieve information. The high-speed data transfer occurs between a current-driven light source and a photo-detecting device from which the light signal is amplified and processed to communicate commands to and from other systems. Like Wi-Fi, the Li-FiS can stream content from a server and the internet. The product is essential because using Li-Fi technology for future human spaceflight missions in a spacecraft or space habitat can provide advantages over Wi-Fi related to data speeds and electromagnetic interference.
