LiFi: the connection by light
LiFi and PoE-Sea complement each other: the Wi-Fi only when it is needed, and LiFi where a connection without radio waves is preferred.
LiFi transmits the data with light instead of radio waves. Units on the ceiling send the signal with invisible infrared light, and a small receiver connects the tablet or the computer.
Light does not go through walls: the connection stays in the classroom, which makes it more secure. It is also fast and stable, with a low energy consumption.
Since 2021, LiFi Solutions has supported schools that want a controlled digital education: with LiFi where a connection without radio waves is wanted, and with PoE-Sea to control the existing Wi-Fi.
A one-stop shop: LiFi Solutions advises school heads, parent committees, teachers and local authorities, from a simple advice to the complete study of the needs, then the purchase and the installation of the equipment, with the school kit of its partner Signify (Philips).
With PoE-Tic, we also offer PoE-LiFi (Trulifi by Signify) and MIELA, a mobile LiFi device that moves from classroom to classroom.

The school kit
With Trulifi of Signify (Philips): transmitters on the ceiling send the infrared signal, a router connects them to the network of the school, and a USB key receives the signal on the tablet or the computer.
With LED relamping
LED panels of 60 × 60 cm with a built-in LiFi transmitter: the new lighting and the connection are installed together, and the lighting uses less energy.
MIELA, the mobile LiFi
A mobile LiFi device of PoE-Tic for education and health care, which moves from classroom to classroom.
Outdoors: Trulifi 6014
LiFi access points placed on street lights, which send the data at very high speed from one to the other. Tested since 2025 by Multitel in Mons, in different weather conditions.
Offices, care homes and hospitals
The light stays in the room, which protects the confidentiality of the data, and LiFi does not interfere with the other wireless systems.
Tourism and museums
With its partner Glorytech, LiFi Solutions proposes GRALL, an application that gives the visitors information about the place where they are, to the metre, indoors and outdoors.
What a LiFi classroom needs
- About six transmitters for a classroom of 70 m², for up to 15 devices at the same time.
- About 1,500 euros per classroom (estimate of 2023).
- In Anderlues, 13 classrooms for 30,000 euros: the municipality pulled the cables, and LiFi Solutions installed and connected the units.
- A school can work with LiFi only, or with LiFi and its existing Wi-Fi, controlled by PoE-Sea.
LiFi classrooms already in use in Belgium
Since its creation in December 2021, LiFi Solutions has equipped schools and other places in Belgium with LiFi, with the Trulifi solution of its partner Signify (Philips).
Anderlues
In 2023, the École communale du Centre connected its 13 primary classrooms with LiFi, presented by the press as the first school to equip all its classrooms.
Flobecq
One of the first LiFi schools in Belgium. In November 2023, its LiFi classroom was inaugurated in the presence of Frédéric Daerden, Minister of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation in charge of school buildings.
Aubange
In 2022, the RTBF filmed the pupils of the école communale testing LiFi; the mayor wanted to extend it to other buildings of the municipality.
Uccle · Rixensart
A specialised secondary school of the Groupe La Cime in Uccle, and the école communale du Centre in Rixensart, the first school of Walloon Brabant with a LiFi classroom.
Beyond schools
A sleep clinic in Linkebeek, the solar sailing boat Solarwind, and since 2025 an outdoor LiFi test with the research centre Multitel in Mons.
A standard since 2023
LiFi is an IEEE standard (802.11bb): the equipment of different brands works together, and with Wi-Fi.
They chose LiFi
“A stable and secure internet connection is essential in the classroom, as some pupils already use connected interactive tablets.”
“It is very important for the schools of our municipality to have innovative, powerful and stable connection solutions, adapted to the needs of the schools.”
“Parents are more and more worried. It makes sense to set up this network in a school, for the sensitive children.”
“It is an innovative concept that limits the waves. Each classroom is autonomous.”
