On October 14, Intelligent Waves and Signify announced the launch of IllumiConn, a newly formed joint venture set to revolutionize secure wireless communications in mission-critical environments. By combining Intelligent Waves’ networking and cybersecurity capabilities with Signify’s expertise in wireless communications, namely Light Fidelity (LiFi) for indoor, multi-user access and Free-Space Optics (FSO) for high-speed outdoor connectivity, IllumiConn offers a broad array of innovative, infrared-based solutions to government and defense agencies, enabling secure, high-speed wireless data transport in even the most challenging and contested environments.
At the core of IllumiConn’s offerings is Trulifi, an innovative, non-RF-based optical wireless communications technology that transmits data via confined and secure optical transmission beams rather than radio waves. With speeds exceeding the Gbps speed range and ultra-low latency, Trulifi systems provide secure, real-time wireless connectivity in indoor and outdoor environments where traditional radio frequency (RF) systems face limitations or security threats.
“Trulifi systems offers a breakthrough for defense and intelligence operations,” said Tony Crescenzo, president and CEO of Intelligent Waves. “IllumiConn delivers high-speed, secure communication that is immune to interception or interference and fully adaptable to mission-critical environments. It’s the future of secure wireless connectivity.”
Trulifi’s optical transmission spectrum-based systems offer clear advantages over traditional RF technology, the companies said. They are immune to electromagnetic interference, invisible to the human eye, and much harder to jam, track, or intercept because their narrow beams do not pass through walls or spread out like radio signals. As a result, it is ideal for use in sensitive environments, including classified operations and contested mission zones, where security and stealth operation are paramount.
“Trulifi represents a next-gen solution in wireless communications, especially for the DoD and those agencies with a national security mission,” said Craig Janus, COO of Intelligent Waves and CEO of IllumiConn. “In an era where security and reliability are non-negotiable, IllumiConn offers a unique solution to deliver high-speed, secure communication that is virtually impossible to be intercepted or jammed. It’s truly the future of mission-critical connectivity.”
