Summary Navy ships can utilize Light Fidelity (LiFi) networking technology to improve throughput and security. Current wireless communication technology is not suitable for deployed shipboard network environments because of the security risks emissions create in operational environments. Light fidelity can mitigate risks while providing new channels for unclassified communication. Many factors pertain to the usability and effectiveness of shipboard design with this technology. This thesis will track multiple Navy efforts and present a case study in how LiFi communications can be deployed on a shipboard network.
