5G-LiFi combo for indoors networking

The two companies  are working to solve the industry’s “last-metre” challenge: delivering gigabit broadband indoors without the need for drilling holes, cabling, or professional installations.

This addresses the broadband providers’ need for easy install solutions to slash their waitlists.  This system utilises LiFi technology and wireless power to transmit data through windows, effectively bridging the 5G gap for users globally.

Units will be available for demonstration and testing with telecommunications carriers around the world within the first half of 2026.

Broadband subscribers may significantly enhance their service by relocating their Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) outdoors, which can deliver substantial benefits.

Unlike existing solutions that require separate accessories, such as pureLiFi’s Bridge XC Flex, this new collaboration integrates the bridging capabilities directly into Askey CPE.

This “all-in-one” approach allows Telcos to provide self-installable units that increase network capacity by up to 6x. By eliminating the need for technician truck rolls, the solution allows operators to onboard users faster and more affordably while also lowering CO2 emissions.

This collaboration marks a significant milestone in wireless infrastructure, combining Askey’s leading Netcom expertise and global reach with pureLiFi’s pioneering innovation. Leadership from both organisations emphasised that this partnership is designed to fundamentally change how high-speed 5G internet is delivered and consumed.
“Our combined system will enable carriers to get users connected cost-effectively and quickly while improving the overall 5G experience,” says Askey CEO, Robert Lin.

“Together, we are providing a solution that is secure, unjammable, reliable, and incredibly simple for the end-user to install,” says We are proud to work with Askey to make better broadband connectivity a reality through the 5G spectrum with help from LiFi,” says pureLiFi CEO Ron Schaeffer.

The Askey system is designed to provide reliable, gigabit-class data throughput, ensuring that users in urban, suburban and rural environments can access high-speed broadband regardless of modern building materials that block 5G signals.
