I could imagine it being installed on ceilings within certain rooms. Devices could be connected to both lifi and wifi. If lifi isn’t working it could fall back to wifi. But in reality, I have a feeling this will just be in niche scenarios, yes. I can imagine wifi getting 100x faster before this catches on.
Also, need repeater to reach certain room in the corner? Just strategically place some mirrors and you're golden!
They don't even need to look like mirrors to the human eye since this uses infrared.
