A world’s First
As a result of a co-development partnership between pureLiFi and French lighting innovators Lucibel the world’s first industrialised LiFi solution was made available to the market in September 2016.
An unprecedented opportunity for the true innovators of Lighting.
LiFi technology is transformative and enabling for the lighting community. LiFi has allowed Lucibel, to innovate their business model and move into new markets. Since co-developing the integrated luminaire with pureLiFi, Lucibel has created a new business unit
focusing on LiFi and the LiFi-X has been installed at multiple locations including Microsoft headquarters in Paris. Lucibel customers Nexity now offer LiFi as a wireless communication offering in their real-estate projects.
pureLiFi provides connectivity and Lucibel brings the Light.
The LiFi integrated luminaire (Ores) when paired with the LiFi-X dongle provides a fully networked, bidirectional, LiFi-X system. The Luminaire acts as an Access
Point which connects into the backbone network using either Power over Ethernet (POE) or Power Line Communications (PLC). The LiFi-X dongle connects to the mobile device or laptop using USB 2.0.
Edouard Lebrun, Chief Innovation Officer at Lucibel speaks to the benefits of this partnership
“This was a major breakthrough achieved with pureLiFi enabling the Lucibel Group to become the link between the world of lighting and the one of IT. This industrialized solution was the first solution on the market that was easily integradable into a building, and formed parts of Lucibel industrial strategy implemented over two years by having relocated its manufacturing facility in France.”
By positioning LiFi as a complimentary technology to Wi-Fi, this smart and connected light is taking on a new dimension thanks to pureLiFi and Lucibel, enabling new opportunities to architects, property developers and tenants for the wireless needs.
