- pureLiFi ready to revolutionise communications in defence at DSEI
- LiFi the technology saving missions and lives is demonstrated at DSEI
LONDON (September 12, 2023) – pureLiFi, the global leaders in LiFi technology, is showcasing its world-leading LiFi solutions at the Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) conference. The conference, which is the defence industry’s most anticipated event, brings together international leaders to source the best technology for defence.
LiFi technology represents a ground-breaking leap in wireless communications, utilising light waves to enable wireless communications. With near-zero electromagnetic (EM) signature, LiFi ensures inherently secure data transmission, nearly eliminating the risk of detection and interception. LiFi offers fast, reliable, and undetectable wireless communications in both tactical and office environments and for use cases across applications on sea, land, air and space.
“LiFi technology, is a leap in innovation, that unleashes a new age of secure wireless communications for defence. With light as our medium, we go beyond the boundaries of traditional wireless, providing fast, reliable, and undetectable solutions for the defence industry. At pureLiFi, we have been striving to transform communications for defence since launching the Kitefin System in 2021, and today, we’re excited to bring this game-changing technology to organisations worldwide.” – Alistair Banham, CEO of pureLiFi
The Kitefin LiFi System, pureLiFi’s flagship product, is the first LiFi system designed for defence and has been deployed at scale with a range of defence and government organisations including the US Army. The Kitefin system comes in both tactical and office variants. The Kitefin system is not vulnerable to eavesdropping through walls or tent canvas and is highly resistant to close range jamming attempts. Designed to counter insider threats, data transmitted is only available to the right people in the right place.
“Known as the global leaders in LiFi technology, we spearhead the innovation and development of wireless communication using light instead of radio frequencies,” said Banham. “We deliver unprecedented capabilities for mission-critical wireless communications, saving missions and lives.”
Visit pureLiFi pureLiFi at DSEI Stand SP6 from the 12th of September to experience the next generation in defence communications.

BELOIT, Wis. and EDINBURGH, Scotland – May 31, 2023 – Fairbanks Morse Defense (FMD), a portfolio company of Arcline Investment Management, is advancing its cutting-edge technology portfolio by signing a three-year agreement with UK-based pureLiFi, a world leader in the development of LiFi, a secure, light-based wireless connectivity technology. The agreement makes FMD the exclusive reseller of the company’s technology and products to FM OnBoard maritime defense customers in the United States, providing those users with access to secure, reliable data transmission capabilities while at sea.
“The ability to have secure connectivity while at sea is a mission-critical capability for our maritime defense customers,” said George Whittier, Chief Executive Officer of Fairbanks Morse Defense. “pureLiFi’s technology pairs perfectly with FM OnBoard, enabling technicians to securely communicate from the engine room with live, remote technicians who can help troubleshoot any issues.”
LiFi is a mobile wireless technology that uses light rather than radio frequencies to transmit data. The company’s Kitefin™ LiFi system is the first mission deployable LiFi system designed specifically for the defense industry and builds on the inherent physical security of containable light communications to ensure that data is only transmitted to the right people in the right place. LiFi is not vulnerable to eavesdropping or jamming attempts. The system can be easily set up and deployed in a matter of minutes and enables highly secure connectivity in places that are traditionally considered to be impractical or inaccessible.
“Fairbanks Morse Defense is quickly becoming known for its best-in-class maritime defense technology solutions, and we consider this to be an ideal collaboration for expanding our presence in the US,” said Alistair Banham, pureLiFi CEO. “Our collaboration with FMD represents a significant step towards expanding LiFi technology beyond pureLiFi’s large scale land-based deployments. We look forward to working with FMD to deliver this game-changing LiFi technology to maritime defense customers.”
Prior to this agreement, pureLiFi worked with FMD through the FM Defense Accelerator. The companies have been leveraging LiFi and FMD’s resources to co-develop and evaluate maritime use cases for LiFi technology.
