Abstract

A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for providing a travel network infrastructure. A dedicated Li-F connection is provided for each physical space such as a seat, expected to accommodate a passenger in a travel network such as an airline. A passenger is authenticated according to a physical space occupied by the passenger. If authentication is successful, a secure Li-Fi channel is established for the passenger. The access point of the Li-Fi channel is only leveraged by the passenger and no other passengers.
