Reston, VA – January 3, 2025 – Intelligent Waves (IW), a leading technology integrator that delivers mission-focused, multi-domain operational expertise and innovation to the U.S. government through high-impact technology solutions, has established a joint venture with Signify, the world leader in lighting. This venture builds upon the companies’ existing strategic collaboration and aims to enhance Light Fidelity (LiFi) and optical wireless communication technology within the defense sector.

IW and Signify’s solution uses invisible light waves to enable reliable, secure, two-way wireless data communication, providing the U.S. Department of Defense with mission-critical connectivity. Light-based communication offers faster speeds and can be controlled within a restrictive space, reducing the chance for interference, compared to traditional radio frequency communications.

“We are committed to delivering transformative communications technology to the defense sector. Our joint venture with Signify marks a major step forward,” said Tony Crescenzo, CEO of Intelligent Waves. “LiFi technology has the power to redefine the future of defense communications and operations.”

IW and Signify already collaborate with the U.S. Air Force to demonstrate LiFi technology’s applications in military settings. “This joint venture brings together Signify’s lighting innovations with IW’s government technology expertise,” said Olivia Qiu, Chief Innovation Officer at Signify. “We are committed to providing the U.S. Department of Defense with state-of-the-art solutions that meet their evolving communications and operational needs.”
