The present disclosure aims to enable communication to be performed with stable quality even when a user uses a terminal while moving. In the wireless communication system according to the present disclose, a switching control unit 15 sets switching illuminance p.sub.th for maintaining illuminance of an optical signal received by a terminal 91 at requested illuminance corresponding to throughput or higher during the time until connection switching between the communication with an optical wireless access point 92 and the communication with an RF wireless access point 93 is completed, and when the received illuminance p becomes lower than the switching illuminance p.sub.th during connection with the optical wireless access point 92, the switching control unit 15 performs connection switching from the optical wireless communication to the RF wireless communication.

Wireless communication using germicidal light frequencies is a system and method for transmitting and receiving data using Far-UVC light. The system communicates data using Far-UVC light of a germicidal wavelength. Far UV is a specific spectrum of UV light. The ultraviolet spectrum is a band of electromagnetic radiation with higher energy, thus shorter wavelengths, than visible light. With respect to this system, the UV light wavelengths of interest are Far-UVC for solar-blind data-carrying frequencies in the THz range to provide a UVGI function.
