PureLiFi is Scottish Start up headquartered in Edinburgh that develops, manufactures and sells high-technology products in the LiFi domain. LiFi a term coined by professor Harald Hass[1], PureLiFi's co-founder.[2][3]

Technology details[edit]

This OWC technology uses light from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as a medium to deliver networked, mobile, high-speed communication similarly to Wi-Fi[4]. The Li-Fi market is projected to have a compound annual growth rate of 82% from 2013 to 2018 and to be worth over $6 billion per year by 2018.

History[edit]

PureLiFi was co-founded by Harald Haas and Mostafa Afgani in 2012[5] on the back of the proof of concept project carried our at The University of Edinburgh. The team now is led by Alistair Banham (CEO), Harald Haas (CSO), Mostafa Afgani (CTO) and Harald Burchardt (CCO)

Funding[edit]

PureLiFi has raised funding of US$25.8 million to date[6]. It received seed money of US$2 million in a round led by business angel syndicate Par Equity and Scottish Enterprise.[7]. In 2014, it received funding of US$10 million to help miniaturise and commercialise the system[8]. In 2015 PureLiFi raised $2 million[9] led by Scottish-based angel group London & Scottish Investment Partners (LSIP)  with additional funding from the Scottish Investment Bank (SIB) and Old College Capital, the venture investment arm of the University of Edinburgh. In 2016 PureLiFi further raised $2 Million which will be used to continued commercial growth and product development.[10]. In 2016 a series B of $9.27 Million was raised by Temasek[11]

Li-1st[edit]

The Li-1st marked the introduction of a groundbreaking wireless communication technology. This system became the world’s first LiFi technology available on the market.

Li-Flame[edit]

The Li-Flame was revealed at Mobile World Congress in March 2015 and represented a significant step toward first ubiquitous high-speed wireless network solution using LiFi. This was the first LiFi product that allowed for mobile wireless communications.

LiFi-X[edit]

The LiFi-X was revealed at Mobile World Congress in February 2016 and was the world’s first LiFi dongle. The LiFi-X was significantly smaller than previous systems enabling a more sufficient user experience whilst also providing downlink and uplink speeds of 42Mbps.

LiFi-XC[edit]

The LiFi-XC (Certified LiFi product) provides lightweight, high speed secure and fully networked wireless communications via light. The LiFi-XC is a certified plug and play system that works with USB devices and is small enough to be integrated into your next laptop, tablet or smart appliance. LiFi-XC provides high speed communications up to 43Mbps from each LiFi enabled LED light. The LiFi-XC system is full duplex and bi-directional providing a fast and robust user experience. Multiple users per LiFi access point (AP), supported through multiple access. Geofencing can be enabled for a single light, or a group of LiFi enabled lights. The LiFi-XC system offers a fully networked LiFi solution, allowing for the user to handover between lights without interrupting the user’s wireless session. LiFI-XC also works in Flexible deployments with an option of using both POE and PLC for the backhaul. LiFI-XC is Safe, and works in wireless communications in environments where radio frequencies are not suitable. A cost-effective delivery of light and data via a single infrastructure
