Posted on September 6, 2023 by - News

Getac has embedded LiFi technology into its rugged devices as part of an innovation project with Signify.

Getac was one of the first manufacturers to engineer rugged devices with integrated LiFi via external dongles. The company has taken this a step further by fully embedding the technology into its devices, achieving another industry-first in the process.

Getac is working closely with Signify’s Trulifi technology on the project, with the aim of bringing LiFi technology to its customers. Further announcements detailing the devices themselves and their commercial availability will be made in the future.

Both Signify and Getac are part of the Light Communication Alliance (LCA), a community of industry leaders, researchers, and innovators who believe in the power of Optical Wireless Communication to transform the way organisations connect and communicate.
