pureLiFi has unveiled two game-changing technologies: the North American debut of the Bridge XC™ and the global premiere of the LiFi Cube Mini™.
Together, these innovations promise a "plug-and-play" revolution, delivering Gigabit 5G through windows without drilling and offering military-grade security in a portable format.
Bridge XC: Solving the 5G "Last Meter" Problem
While 5G networks promise lightning-fast speeds, they face a significant physical hurdle: modern energy-efficient glass and thick walls block high-frequency 5G signals. This often forces broadband providers to rely on expensive professional installations involving drilling holes to bring cables inside.
pureLiFi’s Bridge XC solves this "last meter" bottleneck. It allows for the self-installation of outdoor 5G Consumer Premises Equipment (CPE) by bridging connectivity through any window using LiFi data and wireless power.
“Bridge XC is a game-changer for Broadband Providers and home broadband users alike,” the company noted. By moving the receiver outside where the signal is strongest and using light to transmit that data through the glass to an indoor unit, subscribers get instant gigabit speeds. This approach saves providers hundreds in acquisition costs and eliminates the need for technicians, turning a complex installation into a simple DIY task.
LiFi Cube Mini: A Personal Fortress of Connectivity
Also making its debut is the LiFi Cube Mini, a device that shrinks pureLiFi’s proven defense technology into a sleek personal hotspot for enterprise users and prosumers.
Unlike WiFi, which penetrates walls and can be intercepted from the street or a neighbouring office, the LiFi Cube Mini uses light to transmit data. This creates a secure "cone of connectivity" that is physically contained within the room.
For Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and remote workers, this offers a definitive solution to the security risks of the "Work from Home" era. "For the prosumer, LiFi gives peace of mind and provides high bandwidth, low latency reliable communications for gaming, streaming, and beyond," stated pureLiFi.
Ron Schaeffer, CEO of pureLiFi, emphasised the significance of this launch: “We are giving the industry a glimpse of a world where connectivity is instant and security is absolute.”
Correlations with the Future of LiFi Technology
This announcement marks a critical maturation point for the LiFi industry, highlighting several key correlations with the broader trajectory of optical wireless communication:
Synergy, Not Competition, with 5G: The Bridge XC demonstrates that LiFi is not trying to replace RF (Radio Frequency) technologies like 5G, but rather complete them. By acting as the bridge that carries 5G signals through physical barriers (glass) where RF fails, LiFi establishes itself as an essential component of the 5G ecosystem. This "Hybrid LiFi-5G" architecture is likely to become a standard for Fixed Wireless Access (FWA).
Wireless Power through Glass: A subtle but revolutionary detail in the Bridge XC announcement is the use of "wireless power" to bring gigabit speeds inside. This suggests that LiFi technology is evolving beyond just data transmission to include power delivery (Li-Charge), allowing for completely wire-free, through-window infrastructure.
Democratization of Secure Comms: The LiFi Cube Mini signals the transition of LiFi from niche military applications to the broader prosumer market. By marketing "military-grade security" to gamers and remote workers, pureLiFi is validating the unique physical security properties of light, non-penetration of walls and immunity to RF interference, as a consumer selling point.

With Bridge XC already in field trials with major carriers and the LiFi Cube Mini offering a glimpse into the future of personal security, CES 2026 may well be remembered as the moment LiFi stepped out of the lab and into the living room.
As Schaeffer puts it, the era of "good enough" connectivity is over. The future is bright, secure, and powered by light.
