Li-Fi vs Wi-Fi 7 vs 5G: Which Next-Gen Wireless Will Rule 2025?

Li-Fi vs Wi-Fi 7 vs 5G: Which Next-Gen Wireless Will Rule 2025?

The IEEE 802.11bb Li-Fi standard was ratified in mid-2023, providing a global framework for interoperable Li-Fi devices. PureLiFi’s Light Antenna One module can deliver about 1 Gbps at distances from 20 cm to roughly 3 m using standard LED sources. Lab demonstrations have surpassed 100 Gbps with Li-Fi, with a cited test reaching 224 Gbps in lab conditions. Real-world Li-Fi speeds are around 1 Gbps, and Li-Fi is positioned as a complementary technology to Wi-Fi rather than a replacement. Wi‑Fi 7, known as 802.11be, began certification in 2024, and by 2025 the first Wi‑Fi 7 routers, mesh systems, and client

Satellite-to-Cell Showdown: Apple vs Starlink vs AST in the Race to Connect Your Phone Anywhere

Satellite-to-Cell Showdown: Apple vs Starlink vs AST in the Race to Connect Your Phone Anywhere

Apple launched Emergency SOS via satellite in late 2022 with the iPhone 14, becoming the first mainstream phone to offer satellite messaging. Apple’s satellite system uses Globalstar’s LEO satellites (about 1,400 km altitude) with custom hardware and extremely low bandwidth, delivering a few bytes per second and requiring the user to point and hold the phone for about 15–30 seconds per transmission. In late 2023 Apple added roadside assistance texting via satellite with AAA in the U.S., and iPhone purchases include two years of satellite service for free. Apple announced in 2024 that iOS 18 will enable standard iMessage texting

Battle of the EV Charging Standards: Tesla’s NACS vs. CCS2 vs. CHAdeMO – Who Will Rule the Roads in 2025?

Tesla introduced its own charging connector with the Model S in 2012 and opened it as NACS in late 2022. Tesla’s V3 Superchargers deliver up to 250 kW (about 1000 V, 250 A) to compatible vehicles, enabling about 80% charge in roughly 20 minutes under ideal conditions. Ford announced NACS ports for 2025 models in May 2023, followed by GM in June 2023, with Volvo, Polestar, Mercedes‑Benz, Nissan, Honda, Rivian, Lucid, Hyundai, Kia, Genesis, and VW Group joining by late 2023.

Beyond Lithium-Ion: Sodium-Ion vs. Solid-State vs. Lithium-Sulfur – Who Wins the Next Battery Race?

Beyond Lithium-Ion: Sodium-Ion vs. Solid-State vs. Lithium-Sulfur – Who Wins the Next Battery Race?

CATL unveiled the world’s first mass-produced sodium-ion EV battery, named Naxtra, in 2023 and began deploying it in cars by late 2023. Sodium-ion cells typically deliver 140–160 Wh/kg, with CATL’s best prototypes around 175 Wh/kg and a second-generation cell expected to exceed 200 Wh/kg. All-solid-state lithium batteries are projected to store 50% to 100% more energy than today’s Li-ion, with Toyota claiming a 20% initial range boost for its solid-state packs due in 2027–28. Solid-state designs could enable 600–1000+ miles per charge, according to industry projections and Toyota’s statements. Lithium-sulfur cells have a theoretical energy density of 600–800 Wh/kg, Fraunhofer’s
