Another use case is this being deployed in addition to WiFi. You could cover office area with this and have client devices use faster connection most of the time while transparently dropping to wifi speeds when lifi connection is interrupted. It would give users faster speed and it would also improve situation for wifi only devices as the frequency would be much less congested.
Oy definitely, I can see a box that is a combo LiFi/WiFi access point with a single ethernet/fiber optic cable running to it providing the best network available for each device becoming a standard ceiling fixture in offices and tech forward homes.
