Abstract

An information handling system operating a light reflective antenna comprising a wireless interface device for transmitting and receiving radio signals, via a light reflecting antenna, enclosed within a chassis of the information handling system, the light reflecting antenna comprising a light-reflecting, electrically conductive antenna element adjacent to a light emitting element of the information handling system and a processor executing code instructions to instruct the light reflecting antenna to operate to transceive wireless signals through a light emitting element located between the light reflecting antenna and an exterior surface of the chassis and substantially parallel to the reconfigurable antenna, wherein the light emitting element emits light such that light reflected by the light reflecting antenna is visible and wireless signals may propagate through the same portion of an exterior surface of the chassis.
