IEEE 802.11bb is a line-of-sight light-based wireless networking standard that is part of the 802.11 suite of standards, which defines an interoperable communications protocol for Li-Fi devices. [1] Its proponents state that it will allow for very high speed communication that is faster than Wi-Fi. [2]
The 802.11bb standard describes the use of light in the near-infrared 800 to 1000 nm waveband to implement data rates between 10 Mbit/s and 9.6 Gbit/s, with interoperability between devices with different capabilities. [3] [4]
Development of 802.11bb was carried out by the IEEE 802.11 Light Communications Task Group. Companies participating in the standardization effort included pureLiFi and Fraunhofer HHI. [5]
