Light Rider Demonstrate Li-Fi to South Lakes Seahawk Cyber Club
The CEO of Light Rider, Inc., Tony Lawrence recently attended a meeting with South Lakes High students of the Seahawk Cyber club for a demonstration of Li-Fi technology. Club sponsor Selwyn Lawrence stated that Li-Fi has quite a few potential advantages to Wi-Fi because the communication cannot go through walls and hence a hacker who is not physically present in the room cannot capture the data. It also has roughly 10,000 times the bandwidth of Wi-Fi where it can support many users sending or receiving very high bandwidth transmissions in the same room simultaneously. Students asked questions regarding cybersecurity from one of U.S. first cyber warriors: Tony Lawrence, chief executive officer of Light Rider, who shared his entry into the cyber field via the U.S. Army and work with the National Security Agency.
Seahawk Cyber members had the opportunity to test a quantum chip and Li-Fi light bulbs from Light Rider and will now be able to run very fast and secure programs using this device. The award-winning, student-led Seahawk Cyber club has five teams that recently competed in the U.S. Air Force Association's CyberPatriot Defense competition. One of the teams, Team Zero Day, is ranked third in the state and 32nd out of 2,600 teams in the country and abroad.
Seahawk Cyber
Seahawk Cyber is a student-led cybersecurity club sponsored by Mr Lawrence. The students participate in various CTF’s, cybersecurity competitions, hackathons, etc. Every year, the club competes in the annual Cyberpatriot Competition where competitors secure a variety of systems in a simulated corporate environment. This competition is a great opportunity for anyone who may be interested in a career in cybersecurity and provides valuable hands-on experience, as well as promoting general technical and solution-oriented mindsets.
CyberPatriot is the National Youth Cyber Education Program created by the Air Force Association to inspire K-12 students toward careers in cybersecurity or other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines critical to our nation’s future. At the core of the program is the National Youth Cyber Defense Competition, the nation’s largest cyber defense competition that puts high school and middle school students in charge of securing virtual networks. Other programs include AFA CyberCamps, an elementary school cyber education initiative, a children’s literature series, and CyberGenerations –a cyber safety initiative geared toward keeping senior citizens safe online.

Light Rider Inc
Light Rider Inc, a US-based quantum Li-Fi company, recently announced the unveiling of their quantum Li-Fi products coming up in 2021. Light Rider states that they are a quantum Li-Fi company leveraging the supernatural behaviour of quantum physics for the creation of secure and unparalleled encryption products with their patented technology.
Light Rider will introduce four strategic product lines into the marketplace that will help individuals, businesses, cities, and governments prepare for the coming quantum revolution. Their four primary product lines cover everything from everyday encryption to connected cities, and it all starts with our first two encryption products, Light Rider LT and Light Rider Quantum coming up in 2021.
“Traditional methods and technologies are full of vulnerabilities, so we created Light Rider to design and develop products that would enable the most secure network encryption possible,” said Tony Lawrence, CEO, and founder of Light Rider. “There is a global race to operationalise quantum technology, meaning those inflicting cyber threats will have access to this superior technology. Our mission at Light Rider is to equip businesses, organisations, and individuals with powerful, quantum Li-Fi technology that will protect their data, as we strive to create products that are un-hackable.
What is Li-Fi?
Li-Fi, also known as "Light Fidelity" is a wireless optical networking technology, which uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to transmit data. In 2011, professor Harald Haas made a Li-Fi demonstration at the TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) Global Talk on Visible Light Communication (VLC).

VLC uses light as a medium to deliver high-speed communication like Wi-Fi and complies with the IEEE standard IEEE 802.15.7. The IEEE 802.15.7 is a high-speed, bidirectional, and fully networked wireless communication technology-based standard similar to Wi-Fi's IEEE 802.11.
How does Li-Fi work?
Li-Fi is a high speed, bidirectional, and fully networked wireless communication of data using light. Li-Fi constitutes of several light bulbs that form a wireless network.
When an electrical current goes through to a LED light bulb, a stream of light (photons) emits from the lamp. LED bulbs are semiconductor devices, which means that the brightness of the light flowing through them can change at extremely high speeds. The signal is sent by modulating the light at different rates. The signal can then be received by a detector which interprets the changes in light intensity (the signal) as data. Also when the LED is ON, you transmit a digital 1, and when it is OFF, you transmit a 0.
Li-Fi Benefits
The primary benefits of Li-Fi are as follows:
• Security: Provides entirely secure access. Where there is no light there is no data.
• Safety: Does not produce electromagnetic radiation and does not interfere with existing electronic systems.
• Localisation: Allows localisation due to small coverage area of Li-Fi access point - localisation can be used for very precise asset tracking.
• Data density: Provides ubiquitous high-speed wireless access that offers substantially greater data density (data rate per unit area) than RF through high bandwidth reuse.
