1. An optical wireless power and data delivery system, comprising:
an optical base station, the optical base station including:
one or more data switches or routers configured to receive analog or digital data signals from a communications network;
a first media converter device configured to convert the received analog or digital data signals into a plurality of data laser light beams;
a first optical data transceiver configured to transmit the plurality of data laser light beams received from the first media converter device;
one or more power laser devices configured to transmit a plurality of power laser light beams,
a beam combining device configured to receive the plurality of power laser beams and the data laser light beams and generate combined power and data laser light beams; and
a first optical antenna configured to receive the combined power and data laser light beams; and to transmit or pass through the combined power and data laser light beams through one or more free space optical channels or communication links; and
an autonomous wireless hotspot device, the autonomous wireless hotspot device including:
a second optical antenna configured to receive the combined data and power laser light beams from the optical beam base station via the one or more free space optical channels or communication links;
an optical dividing device configured to separate out hotspot data laser light beams and hotspot power laser light beams from the combined power and data laser light beams;
a second optical data transceiver configured to receive the hotspot data laser light beams from the optical dividing device and to transmit the hotspot data laser light beams;
a second media converter device configured to convert the hotspot data laser light beams into analog or digital data signals;
one or more wireless transceivers configured to receive the converted analog or digital data signals and to convert the converted analog or digital data signals to wireless data signals and to transmit the wireless data signals to an area around the autonomous wireless hotspot device; and
one or more laser power converters configured to receive the hotspot power laser light beams and to convert the hotspot power laser light beams into electrical energy, wherein the electrical energy provides power to components of the autonomous wireless hotspot device without any cable provided electrical power.
