Intelligent Waves (IW), a leading technology integrator renowned for delivering mission-focused, multi-domain operational expertise and innovation to the U.S. government, has announced a groundbreaking joint venture with Signify, the global leader in lighting. This new partnership builds upon the companies’ existing strategic collaboration and seeks to revolutionize the use of Light Fidelity (LiFi) and optical wireless communication technologies within the defence sector.
The innovative solution developed by IW and Signify leverages invisible light waves to enable secure, reliable, and high-speed two-way wireless data communication. By using light-based communication, the technology offers a significant advantage over traditional radio frequency communications. LiFi provides faster data transfer speeds and can be confined to a controlled environment, minimising the risk of interference or eavesdropping. These attributes make it a highly valuable asset for the U.S. Department of Defense, which requires robust, mission-critical connectivity to ensure operational efficiency and security.
“We are committed to delivering transformative communications technology to the defence sector. Our joint venture with Signify marks a major step forward,” said Tony Crescenzo, CEO of Intelligent Waves. “LiFi technology has the power to redefine the future of defence communications and operations.”
Building on their collaboration with the U.S. Air Force to demonstrate the potential applications of LiFi in military environments, IW and Signify’s joint venture integrates cutting-edge lighting innovations with government technology expertise. “This joint venture brings together Signify’s lighting innovations with IW’s government technology expertise,” said Olivia Qiu, Chief Innovation Officer at Signify. “We are committed to providing the U.S. Department of Defense with state-of-the-art solutions that meet their evolving communications and operational needs.”
This partnership underscores both companies’ dedication to advancing the defence sector’s technological capabilities. By harnessing the potential of LiFi and optical wireless communication, IW and Signify aim to deliver innovative, secure, and efficient solutions that address the complex challenges faced by modern military operations.
