Problem
Many enterprise and industrial environments cannot rely on traditional radio frequency communication due to interference, spectrum congestion, or security constraints, limiting the ability to transmit large volumes of data quickly and reliably.
Solution
Lightspeed provides custom software platforms—K‑Core, M‑Core, and M100‑Core—that enable high‑speed optical wireless communication links. By integrating specialized detection algorithms with advanced laser and photonic hardware, the solutions deliver multi‑gigabit per second data rates over free‑space light paths. The software stack handles link establishment, error correction, and adaptive modulation to maintain reliable throughput despite atmospheric or alignment variations. Lightspeed’s platforms are designed for seamless integration into existing enterprise or industrial networks, offering a secure, low‑latency alternative to RF links.
Target Audience
Primary customers are enterprises, industrial manufacturers, and defense organizations that require secure, high‑throughput communication in RF‑restricted or high‑interference environments.
