LiFi system for secure communications in defense and enterprises

Scottish-based pureLiFi has introduced its latest LiFi system, Kitefin XE, aimed at bolstering network security against the rising tide of threats. This cutting-edge LiFi wireless technology, initially rolled out exclusively within the National Security community, is now accessible to a wider array of sectors, including government, defense, and enterprise clients.

The Kitefin XE system is built on technology honed for the National Security sector, proving its mettle in the most secure environments where communication confidentiality is paramount. Users have attested that Kitefin XE empowers them to implement wireless capabilities in scenarios previously deemed unfeasible, thereby enhancing mission effectiveness and success rates.

Unlike traditional wireless technologies like Wi-Fi and Cellular that rely on RF signals, LiFi operates through imperceptible light, offering an unparalleled level of security by evading detection, interception, and jamming. LiFi also boasts significantly higher capacity, outperforming Wi-Fi in practical settings, while its low latency features ensure a superior user experience.

Alistair Banham, CEO of pureLiFi, emphasized, “Securing sensitive data, whether crucial to national security or safeguarding intellectual property and corporate information, is increasingly challenging for governments and enterprises alike. Kitefin XE will facilitate wireless communication in previously inconceivable scenarios, revolutionizing how companies deploy connectivity and instilling confidence and protection in this evolving security landscape.”

Kitefin XE represents the latest addition to the Kitefin series tailored for government and defense applications, with a mission to safeguard operations and lives. Previously, Kitefin Tactical and Kitefin Office were utilized by the US Army in the pioneering large-scale deployment of LiFi. Building on the success of its predecessors, Kitefin XE offers expansive LiFi coverage spanning over 80 square meters and delivers Gbps capacity, positioning it as the top-performing LiFi system in the market for government and defense sectors, compliant with IEEE 802.11bb standards. All pureLiFi systems adhere to IEEE 802.11 protocols, ensuring seamless integration into existing networks. Kitefin XE is compatible with both ethernet and fiber deployments.

As a part of In-Q-Tel’s (IQT) portfolio, the non-profit strategic investor for the U.S. national security community and its allies, PureLiFi is at the forefront of driving innovation in wireless connectivity. Clayton Williams, Managing Director of IQT, noted, “This innovation has the potential to revolutionize how our partners approach wireless connectivity and assist enterprises in maintaining security in today’s intricate cybersecurity landscape.”
