Li-Fi Could Finally End the GPS Guessing Game - BUT - What is it?!
GPS is fantastic—until you walk inside a building. Suddenly, “precise” location data becomes “somewhere near the food court.” That’s a big problem when seconds count.
In this episode, Fletch explains how Li-Fi, a light-based indoor positioning system, could give 911 responders hyper-accurate locations INDOORS—down to the exact room, aisle, or stall.
What you’ll learn:
🔹 Why GPS + Z-axis isn’t enough indoors
🔹 How Li-Fi works (light bulbs as mini-lighthouses)
🔹 Real-world scenarios where Li-Fi saves lives
🔹 The challenges of adoption and NG911 integration
🔹 Why your ceiling lights may be the future of 911 accuracy
