Abstract
This invention relates to a power supply system for an optical wireless communication system where a modem () is connected to a plurality of transceivers (). The underlying idea being that the transceivers () are powering the modem (), rather than the modem () powering the transceivers (). To achieve this, a power combiner is provided that can receive power from the transceivers (). The transceivers () power down when no endpoint is detected and use a subset of emitters, in which case the modem () can also be switched to a lower power mode.
