System and dongle for light-based communication

A Light Fidelity (LiFi) communication system, comprising:

• a first housing comprising a lamp having a first light source and a LiFi access point having a first optical receiver, the lamp configured to illuminate a surrounding area using the first light source, and the LiFi access point configured to transmit data signals via the first light source and to receive data signals via the first optical receiver, the LiFi access point also including a network interface providing communicative coupling with an internet;
• and
• a second housing comprising a LiFi dongle having a second light source and a second optical receiver, the LiFi dongle configured to transmit data signals via the second light source and to receive data signals via the second optical receiver, the LiFi dongle also including an interface providing communicative coupling with a computing unit;
• wherein the LiFi access point and the LiFi dongle are photonically coupled via the first and second light sources and the first and second optical receivers.
