Through rigorous shortlisting process and presentation session, Project Titled “Point to Point Visible Light Communication (VLC) / Li-Fi” won First Prize and received cash prize Rs. 100,000/- out of 112 startups from Universities across Pakistan.

Honorable Minster for Interior Prof. Ahsan Iqbal, Chairman Higher Education Commission Dr. Mukhtar Ahmed along with Senior Officials from National Police and Law Enforcement Agencies were present at the occasion and appreciated the efforts being done by Students of Bahria University Islamabad. Momna Abid, M. Waleed Ijaz and Shehroz Khan are Students of Computer Engineering Department at Bahria University, Islamabad.

Their Project Li-fi is virtually incubated at Business Incubation Center, BUIC to further develop it into commercial product. Li-fi uses light as a medium to transfer and receive data. This system is using the environmental and ecofriendly medium of transfer ‘light’ for the sharing of data through mobiles, laptops and other electronic instruments. Energy consumption can be minimized with the use of LED illumination which are already available in the home, offices and Mall etc. for lighting purpose.

Li-Fi not only requires fewer components for its working, but also uses only a negligible additional power for the data transmission. Since light cannot pass through opaque structures, Li-Fi internet is available only to the users within a confined area and cannot be intercepted and misused, outside the area under operation. Li-Fi technology has a great scope in future. The extensive growth in the use of LEDs for illumination indeed provides the opportunity to integrate the technology into a plethora of environments and applications.
