Li-Phone - A path breaking Innovative, futuristic product from Sahyadri Innovation Hub, conceptualized, designed and patented by RDL Technologies at Sahyadri
Phone is simply a phone with a difference, but with highly advanced technology. It uses light source to communicate instead of radio frequency normally used by the cell phones.
While cell phones bring enormous convenience to our lives, the possible health consequences of exposure to cell phone radiation have aroused considerable public attention and scientific debate. The reported health effects include cancer, impaired brain and nervous functions, sperm damages, behavioural problems in children, to list a few. From lack of concentration, sleep disorders, fatigue, dizziness, heart ailments to brain cancer, Cell phones play havoc with the lives of citizen’s especially young generation. The companies never disclose these dangerous side effects to the cell phone users. The World Health Organization (WHO) classified cell phone radiation as “possibly carcinogenic to humans”. New Study found Tripled Brain Tumour Risk for Long-Term Cell Phone Users.
In view of the health issues involved in the usage of cell phones, RDL Technologies, sponsored by Sahyadri Innovation Hub, took up the exhaustive research work to find the alternative solution for using RF waves. With a highly talented team of engineers, headed by Mr. Raghav Shetty, RDL made a break through after a decade of pain staking research work in cell phone technology, using light source instead of RF waves, effectively nullifying the health hazard content of normal cell phones.
RDL’s innovative technology uses light as a main medium for communication and widely designed for indoor wireless communication. It is a fact that whether in office or home, 70% of our day to day life communication is happening in indoor environment. Hence, RDL used visible light for communication instead of RF (Radio Frequency).
Li-Phone is a result of high-tech technology research work, yet it is simple and user friendly. You can keep the cell phone or smart phone at a secured place or away or corner of your home or office. Switch on the LED light, couple your Li-Phone with your cell phone and start working. No RF radiation, no health hazards. It’s absolutely safe for your children too. It saves your cell phone’s battery life all the while delivering speed and secure communication. It’s sleek and comfortable to handle.
Li-Phone invention is a commitment to the civic society from the technology leaders – RDL Technologies. To develop a technology which is very much concerned about public health, especially the next gen is the strong underlining motto of the research team at RDL technologies. Equally supported by the visionary Institution “Sahyadri Innovation Hub”, Li-Phone breathes new life in to the communication world to develop “Internet Toxic free” world, where people can live stress free lives.
This is a Start-up India project by RDL Technologies at Sahyadri Innovation Hub.
