Methods, devices, and systems for management of wireless communication channels

A hub adapter comprising:

• a first high-speed computer peripheral interface;
• first digital circuitry coupled with the first high-speed computer peripheral interface;
• a first free-space-optical (FSO) transmitter coupled with the first digital circuitry;
• and
• a first FSO receiver coupled with the first digital circuitry, wherein:
• the first FSO transmitter is configured to transmit a data channel and an out-of-band control signal comprising timing information and bandwidth management information to a computer peripheral adapter;
• the data channel is configured to operate at a bit rate greater than 1 gigabits per second (Gbps);
• the computer peripheral adapter is configured to be coupled with a computer peripheral device via a second high-speed computer peripheral interface;
• the computer peripheral device includes a high-resolution display;
• and
• the data channel provides transport for video display data.
