The LRDC is using our very own LiFi-XC system to demonstrate how LiFi can help to evolve air transportation into a more innovative and dynamic form of travel in regards to both entertainment and safety.

Together with pureLiFi the LRDC deliver a complete system using light communications to enable radically new business models in the aeronautics industry.

About the Crystal Cabin Awards

This year’s Crystal Cabin Award, the twelfth so far, saw 91 submissions in eight categories, with In-Flight Entertainment & Connectivity having been added since 2017. The jury of international experts reduced those submissions to a total of 24 products and concepts in the final round.

The characteristic Crystal Cabin Award trophies are moving with the times, being additively manufactured from aluminum using a honeycomb structure, under the auspices of FIT, a Platinum Sponsor of the Crystal Cabin Award.
