Latécoère announced the industrial scale-up of its LiFi technology, a memorandum of understanding signed with Signify, on its Trulifi technology, and an MoU signed with South Korea's aerospace and defence specialist, Huneed Technologies, for data communication electronics and software. LiFi enables a superior onboard connectivity experience in terms of bandwidth, latency and stability. Another advantage of LiFi is that it doesn't interfere with sensitive equipment and that the connection isn't affected by the airplane's movements.

LiFi also results in less cabling, and together with an infrastructure upgrade to low-weight fiber solutions, will reduce the airplane's weight and fuel usage. Unleashing the LiFi power with Trulifi by Signify Signify launched its Trulifi systems [1] earlier this year and has installed around 100 projects worldwide. Trulifi combines energy-efficient LED lighting with a reliable, secure and high-speed two-way wireless connection, with speeds of up to 250 Mbps for the downlink and the uplink.
