Linux adds drivers for pureLiFi
The organization that updates the Linux operating system has added software drivers to support Li-Fi from pureLiFi, which could bring pureLiFi closer to embedding technology in smartphones, tablets, and other devices. The Android operating system, popular on phones, is based on Linux.
“This marks the first time a major operating system has included a Li-Fi driver in an upgrade,” pureLiFi CEO Alistair Banham said in a recent press release from the Edinburgh, Scotland–based company Li-Fi pioneer. “This is another great endorsement for Li-Fi and signals a growing maturity and interest in Li-Fi for broader use.”

“The addition of Li-Fi in the Linux kernel is just the beginning,” Banham said. “We look forward to driving the adoption of Li-Fi and the inclusion of pureLiFi drivers in more operating systems. This is another important milestone in our journey to connecting everything and everyone with Li-Fi.”
