Abstract
A free space light multibeam network bridge apparatus receives free space light beam communication signals from free space light communication devices and routes the free space light beam communication signals to other free space light communication devices via a free space light network or to non-free space light destination devices via a telecommunications network. The free space light multibeam network bridge apparatus identifies the source of a free space light beam communication signal based on the position of the free space light beam communication signal on a sensor.
