I believe visible light travels further and reflects better so should get to a few more places, like the back of a PC.

OTOH, they say LiFi has better security than WiFi because 'light doesn't go through walls,' so the guys in the next building can't get your signals, but, but, unless of course they have windows (glass ones that is) that face your windows - and again with light having a longer range it could be any building on the street with LOS to your office windows. So once more only real security will be encryption.

They don't mention, what if you have different networks in the office, with WiFi can use separate channels, but with LiFi? Likely they will need to add baggage to the data to separate; it will be fast enough but will add complexity - and as everybody knows complexity = more issues, more failures and higher costs.

(Also won't be able to stream movies using the company WiFi when sitting on the toilet.)

It's a good idea, but it won't beat let alone replace RF.
Sin tack ear lol
