1. 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 comprises:
a second FSO receiver configured to receive a downstream optical signal from the first FSO transmitter; and
a second FSO transceiver configured to transmit an upstream optical signal to the first FSO receiver;
the out-of-band control signal further comprises optical power level control information for the data channel; and
the optical power level control information is configured to reduce multipath interference associated with the upstream optical signal and the downstream optical signal.
