Contactless communication interface systems and methods

A method comprising:

• determining characteristics of a first system, the first system characteristics including a first number of contactless communication units (CCUs) each capable of communicating extremely high frequency (EHF) electromagnetic (EM) signals over a respective contactless communication lane;
• determining characteristics of a second system, the second system characteristics including a second number of CCUs each capable of communicating EHF EM signals over a respective contactless communication lane, wherein each contactless communication lane exists between a respective CCU in the first system and a respective CCU in the second system, and wherein a plurality of contactless communication lanes exist between the first and second systems;
• identifying a first communications interface defining use of the plurality of contactless communication lanes based on the determined first and second system characteristics;
• configuring each of the plurality of contactless communication lanes in accordance with the identified first communications interface;
• and
• dynamically managing use of the plurality of communication lanes based on at least one of user preferences, quality of service assurances, total and available bandwidth, downstream bandwidth requirements, upstream bandwidth requirements, lane status, and lane turn-around time.
