This wireless technology, first released exclusively within the National Security community, is now available to a wider spectrum of sectors, from government and defence to enterprise customers.

The Kitefin XE system is built on technology that was developed for the National Security community and has demonstrated its reliability in secure settings where communication privacy is paramount and has allowed users to introduce wireless capabilities where previously it was not possible.

This system allows for high-speed wireless internet connectivity through Invisible Light rather than Radio Frequencies (RF) used in traditional wireless technologies such as WiFi and Cellular. LiFi provides a level of security that is a significant improvement on RF technologies as it is not susceptible to detection, interception and jamming. LiFi also offers massive capacity that outperforms WiFi in real-world environments, and its low latency capabilities offer a better user experience.

According to Alistair Banham, CEO of pureLiFi, "Kitefin XE will enable wireless communication in previously impossible scenarios and revolutionise the way companies deploy connectivity, providing confidence and protection in this evolving security landscape."

Kitefin XE is the latest in a series of Kitefin systems developed for government and defence and building on their success, Kitefin XE offers room-filling LiFi coverage of over 80 Sq. metres and provides Gbps capacity, making it the highest-performing LiFi system available on the market for government and defence which complies with the IEEE 802.11bb standard.

All pureLiFi systems are based on IEEE 802.11 protocols, making them the simplest LiFi systems to integrate into existing networks. Kitefin XE is also available for both ethernet and fibre deployments.
