Abstract: A communication system that includes a cloud server that obtains first sensor data associated with a defined indoor area and second sensor data associated with each of a plurality of optical nodes in defined indoor area. The plurality of optical nodes includes a master communication device, a plurality of optical routing devices, and one or more service communication devices. The cloud server further obtains location coordinates of each of the plurality of optical nodes. The cloud server then causes the master communication device to form a laser beam-based wireless communication network in the defined indoor area. A free-space optical backhaul is constructed by establishing a point-to-point free-space laser link between each pair of optical nodes of the plurality of optical nodes and a RF supervisory link is established between each pair of optical nodes of the plurality of optical nodes for a network monitoring and control function.

Abstract: An optical routing device that includes a mounting component which includes a rechargeable battery and a processor that communicates over-the-air with a master communication device or one or more service communication devices via RF supervisory links. The processor receives an instruction via the RF supervisory links to control a movement of the mounting component along with the optical routing component such that an angle or a direction of deflection of laser beams from an optical routing component of optical routing device is changed. The optical routing component includes two distinct laser beam handling regions configured to handle plurality of laser beams concurrently in which first laser beam in first wavelength is deflected via first region for downstream data communication in downstream path and second laser beam in second wavelength is deflected via second region for upstream data communication in upstream path for free-space optical communication independent of optical fibers.

Abstract: A communication system that includes a master communication device at a first location in a defined indoor area, a service communication device at a second location in the defined indoor area, and passive optical routing devices at a plurality of locations in the defined indoor area. The master communication device obtains a first signal from a data source or a modem and directs a first laser beam carrying the first signal in a downstream path to a service communication device directly or via the plurality of passive optical routing devices based on defined connectivity criterions. The service communication device demodulates the first signal from the first laser beam, distributes one or more wireless signals to end-user devices, and further obtains one or more second signals from end-user devices and re-transmits obtained signals over second laser beam in upstream path to master communication device directly or via the passive optical routing devices.
