US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub.

Oppo patents phone with support for Li-Fi technology

Oppo is a brand that regularly looks to innovate with its smartphones. We saw one of the first phone cameras with periscope lens from the company. And now, reports suggest they could be the first to launch phones with Li-Fi technology. Oppo has reportedly got patent for a phone that supports the light-centric internet connectivity. For those who’re not aware, Li-Fi is basic of light via modules to provide internet connectivity for devices.

This technology has existed for many years now, but no one has truly worked out its potential in the space. And it seems Oppo is looking to giving it a shot. The patent for phone, spotted by LetsGoDigital, shows us the possible placement of the Li-Fi module.

Unlike Wi-Fi modem, these are put on the outside. Li-Fi basically needs strong light source to transmit data via light. Which is why it is considered to be safer than Wi-Fi. Having said that, internet through Li-Fi is ineffective when the light strength is low.

In addition to that, Li-Fi will find it hard to breach the walls, limiting its connectivity range to a single room. Since Li-Fi never became mainstream, the use of technology and its cost hasn’t come down over the years. So, we’re hoping the patent filed by Oppo is not just for testing purpose, and we see a final product in the years to come that support Li-Fi.

In India, the Ministry of Electronic and IT had tested LiFi (Light Fidelity) in 2018. This technology uses LED bulbs and light spectrum to communicate at speeds as high as 10GB per second in a radius of 1 km per hour. This idea came up to connect the difficult areas of the country, which cannot reach the fiber, although there are electricity in these areas.
