Product Overview

Rugged Infrared Wireless Network for Tactical and Deployable Communications

Fortis by Terra Ferma is a ruggedized, field-ready LiFi system designed to give forward-deployed teams secure, encrypted wireless access without relying on RF or cabling. Built for rapid deployment, mobility, and electromagnetic security, Fortis creates a secure local area network (LAN) using invisible infrared light — ideal for Tactical Operations Centers (TOCs), pop-up command posts, disaster response, and temporary classified environments.

With Fortis, you can connect up to 32 users in the field, all through a low-latency, MACsec-encrypted wireless system that requires no spectrum coordination, no trenching, and no RF emissions.
