pureLiFi Bridge XC Flex is a consumer-installable solution designed to be installed on windows (the ones made of glass, not Windows operating system!) in order to provide up to 1 Gbps broadband internet to the home.
The solution leverages LiFi data transmission using invisible infrared light combined with up to 25W wireless power transfer for fast, cost-effective broadband deployment that does not require any cabling. It is comprised of indoor and outdoor units compatible with a wide range of window types, including single, double, and triple-glazed panes, as well as energy-efficient Low-E coatings.
pureLiFi Bridge XC Flex highlights:
- Data Rates – Up to 1 Gbps, full-duplex, symmetrical
- Power – Up to 25W delivered from indoors to outdoors
- Installation – Self-install in minutes using weather-proof Gecko tape; high tolerance to misalignment
- CPE Compatibility – Accepts any Ethernet input from CPE: 4G/5G/mmWave FWA, fibre ONTs, private 5G, satellite, and more
- Security – Military-grade, interference-free connectivity, virtually immune to detection and jamming
High-frequency signals used for 5G and satellite communication do not penetrate walls very well, but the Bridge XC Flex outdoor unit does not have this issue. It is powered wirelessly from the indoor unit and supports bidirectional transfer through LiFi connectivity. The indoor unit is connected to the mains to power both units and to other networking gear, such as an Ethernet switch or a wireless router.
I can remember I had to wait a few years before switching from ADSL to FTTx broadband at home, because my house was too far from the Fiber distribution box, or I would have had to pay for cabling. This type of solution could have been convenient at the time. Beyond broadband Internet, the Bridge XC Flex can also be used to extend WiFi 7/8 signals from indoors to outdoors, for example, for security cameras or backyard connectivity, and hospitality, events, and transport hubs can also benefit.
It’s also beneficial to ISPs since they don’t need to send engineers to the home for installation, as the users can handle installation themselves. LiFi further adds that outdoor 5G CPE placement using Bridge XC allows FWA operators to serve up to 6x more subscribers with existing network infrastructure on sub-6 GHz 5G and has an even greater impact for mmWave deployments. While Bridge XC Flex will be provided as a standalone system, it is also available as an embeddable module for integration by CPE OEMs.
More details can be found in the press release. pureLiFi is also showcasing the Bridge XC Flex connected to 5G Consumer Premises Equipment (CPE) from Askey, Inseego, and Sonim, at Mobile World Congress 2026.
