As system and method to transmit information with intensity interferometry includes a digital switch configured to receive a baseline message, and, for each of a plurality of bits of a received interferometric message, set the digital switch to an output position depending upon the bit value of the interferometric message. A first and second pair of transmitters separated by a first and second defined distance, wherein the defined distances are different, are configured to broadcast each of the plurality of bits of the baseline message depending upon the output position of the digital switch. One or more pairs of receivers are configured to receive the broadcast of the plurality of bits of the baseline message. An interferometric message recovery module is configured to recover the bits of the received interferometric message after receiving the broadcast of the baseline message at the one or more pairs of receivers.
