An apparatus for exchanging data in an optical wireless communication, OWC, system configured to operate: • in a first mode to enable a first functionality, where the apparatus acts as a bridge device between an OWC access point and a first end device out of one or more end devices (300a, 300b, 300c, 300d); or • in a second mode to enable a second functionality, where the apparatus relays data between the first end device and a second end device out of the one or more end devices (300a, 300b, 300c, 300d); the apparatus comprising: - a first optical transceiver configured to communicate with the OWC access point by means of a first type of optical wireless link using a first modulation scheme; - a second optical transceiver configured to communicate with the first end device by means of a second type of optical wireless link using a second modulation scheme; - a third optical transceiver configured to communicate with the second end device, out of the one or more end devices (300a, 300b, 300c, 300d), by means of the second type of optical wireless link; and - a hub component configured to: ∘ select an operation mode out of a set comprising the first mode, the second mode, and another mode where both the first functionality and the second functionality are enabled; and ∘ connect using at least two out of the first optical transceiver, the second optical transceiver, and the third optical transceiver depending on the operation mode selected; wherein the first optical transceiver has a wider beam angle as compared to the second optical transceiver or the third optical transceiver. • in a first mode to enable a first functionality, where the apparatus acts as a bridge device between an OWC access point and a first end device out of one or more end devices (300a, 300b, 300c, 300d); or • in a second mode to enable a second functionality, where the apparatus relays data between the first end device and a second end device out of the one or more end devices (300a, 300b, 300c, 300d); the apparatus comprising: - a first optical transceiver configured to communicate with the OWC access point by means of a first type of optical wireless link using a first modulation scheme; - a second optical transceiver configured to communicate with the first end device by means of a second type of optical wireless link using a second modulation scheme; - a third optical transceiver configured to communicate with the second end device, out of the one or more end devices (300a, 300b, 300c, 300d), by means of the second type of optical wireless link; and - a hub component configured to: ∘ select an operation mode out of a set comprising the first mode, the second mode, and another mode where both the first functionality and the second functionality are enabled; and ∘ connect using at least two out of the first optical transceiver, the second optical transceiver, and the third optical transceiver depending on the operation mode selected; - a first optical transceiver configured to communicate with the OWC access point by means of a first type of optical wireless link using a first modulation scheme; - a second optical transceiver configured to communicate with the first end device by means of a second type of optical wireless link using a second modulation scheme; - a third optical transceiver configured to communicate with the second end device, out of the one or more end devices (300a, 300b, 300c, 300d), by means of the second type of optical wireless link; and - a hub component configured to: ∘ select an operation mode out of a set comprising the first mode, the second mode, and another mode where both the first functionality and the second functionality are enabled; and ∘ connect using at least two out of the first optical transceiver, the second optical transceiver, and the third optical transceiver depending on the operation mode selected; ∘ select an operation mode out of a set comprising the first mode, the second mode, and another mode where both the first functionality and the second functionality are enabled; and ∘ connect using at least two out of the first optical transceiver, the second optical transceiver, and the third optical transceiver depending on the operation mode selected; wherein the first optical transceiver has a wider beam angle as compared to the second optical transceiver or the third optical transceiver.
