Li-Fi Arrives in Rome’s Schools
Li-Fi lands at the “Rosetta Rossi Institute” to bring a fast, safe, and sustainable connection.
Li-Fi, which stands for Light Fidelity, is a wireless technology transmitting data through LED light modulation. Li-Fi landed in Rome: the “IC Rosetta Rossi” Institute will be the first Italian school, and one of the first worldwide, to implement LI-Fi!
This project represented another milestone achieved by To Be Srl. Others were the first Li-Fi Museum, Li-Fi ship, and Li-Fi smart office.
For this specific project, we collaborated with industrial and strategic partners such as Signify (previously called Philips Lighting) and TecnoElectric Srl, to implement a Li-Fi system able to connect up to 20 computers and to guarantee modern, innovative, and safe wireless data transmission.
How Does Li-Fi Work?
Li-Fi is a technology working through signal modulation. This signal is emitted by every single LED source: a 0/1 sequence not detectable by the human eye that allows data transmission. Li-Fi falls within the so-called fifth-generation connections, reaching data transmission speed that can be compared to 5G speed, and with a more reliable performance. Using light as a tool for connectivity, in fact, guarantees an affordable and sustainable service.
Li-Fi Characteristics
Light has a spectrum 10'000 times wider than Wi-Fi. Thus, not only does it allow an extremely fast connection, but it also offers a band that is never saturated.
Think about it: today light is an integral part of every indoor environment. It is indispensable, and, thanks to Li-Fi, it can also become a data transmitter without causing interferences in particular environments, hostile to radio waves, such as hospitals. In addition, not emitting radio waves, Li-Fi also represents a safer connection for human health.
All these characteristics make Li-Fi a fast, green, and safe alternative to Wi-Fi.
Another great feature of Li-Fi is that, by using light infrastructure for data transmission, this technology would drastically reduce energy consumption, particularly in the telecommunication and lightning engineering industries. Li-Fi would incentivize the use of cutting-edge LED lamps and would eliminate the energetic consumption related to radio wave emission.
We are talking about a fast, safe, and electrosmog-free connection.
Li-Fi Streaming is a real game-changer.
We are honored to be able to cooperate with Public Administration to spread the light of innovation in our country. Particularly, we aim at bringing innovation to schools, that are a symbol of academic and personal growth, and hope for the future.
With great pleasure, we will donate two devices, capable of sanitizing the environment through light, to Rome's "Rosetta Rossi” Institute.
Our work continues, follow us!
Rome is the first Italian City to Implement Li-Fi in School
On Thursday, April 2021 at 10 am, Rome's mayor Virginia Raggi will present: "Connecting to the internet through light. Rome is the first Italian city to implement Li-Fi in school".
At the event, our Founder and CEO Francesco Paolo Russo will intervene along with Giovanni Fazio, ICT Rome Physical Infrastructure Director, and Daniel Tatini, Signify’s AD.

Li-Fi Arrives in school!
LiFi: Safety and Sustainability in Schools
Light sources become potential data transmitters. Schools improve with easy-to-use and inclusive additional services. Students gain new academic tools.
LiFi is a sustainable technology able to eliminate risks linked to electromagnetic pollution and drastically reduce energy consumption related to the telecommunication and lighting engineering industries, incentivizing the use of cutting-edge LED lamps and eliminating radio wave-related energy consumption. LiFi can also be implemented in schools!
Our objective is to experiment with new, high-speed, low, or zero radio-wave-emission technologies.
Li-Fi (Light Fidelity), which allows data transmission through LED light, offers a fast, more stable connection, free from interferences and band saturation issues. In addition, light can be enclosed within a specific area, thus the risk for external hacker attacks is drastically reduced. Differently from Wi-Fi technologies, Li-Fi does not emit radio waves, avoiding interference risks with other devices.
Our team is developing and offering several solutions to the market, among which there is LiFi S (Streaming), a bidirectional connection system allowing the connection of one or more computers to the network, working thanks to lighting bodies equipped with Li-Fi technology and USB keys able to receive and transmit the signal.
LiFi S represents a concrete answer to the need of reducing indoor exposure to high-frequency electromagnetic fields as much as possible More in general, LiFi S also aims at improving the energetic efficiency in school, guaranteeing students an unprecedented connection, which is safe, secure, and sustainable.
Thanks to our dialogue with several schools, our LiFi Zones will offer a LiFi connection within scholastic buildings.
The first LiFi projects in school will most likely be launched in the Region of Marche, which is the first Italian public administration to allow municipalities to be equipped with this modern, innovative, and green technology for data transmission.
With great enthusiasm, we also learned about mayor Virginia Raggi’s willingness to transform Rome into a smart city, bringing Li-Fi into schools.
We are ready to spread the light of innovation!
