The Rapid Deployment of Light Fidelity Networking on U.S. Navy Ships

Abstract

Navy ships can utilize light fidelity networking technology to improve throughput and security. Current wireless communication technology is not suitable for deployed shipboard network environments because of the security risks that 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. There is demonstrated capability that the technology can be installed across all ship classes relatively quickly at an optimal cost. This thesis makes recommendations for installation and future requirements necessary to deploy on a shipboard network.
