  • SYSTEM AND DONGLE FOR LIGHT-BASED COMMUNICATION
    Publication number: 20260135618
    Abstract: A LiFi system includes an access point and a dongle. The access point and dongle may have similar or the same components for communication of data between each other. The dongle may be miniaturized so that it fits within the palm of an adult human hand. The LiFi dongle includes a housing inside which there is a PCB that contains a photodiode, a laser, and other devices (e.g., for communication to move digitized data within and/or out of the dongle to an attached computing device). The PCB may include a number of holes to facilitate heat transfer. The LiFi dongle may include grooves and feet on the bottom to allow for air flow into the dongle, and a plurality of chambers within the dongle housing to provide for areas for heat transfer and protection from electromagnetic interference.
