Infrared Data Association (IrDA) Technologies
IrDA Data (IrDA-D)
IrDA-Data enables bidirectional communication between devices at speeds from 9600 bps to 4 Mbps. The speed depends on factors like transmission type (synchronous or asynchronous), infrared port driver quality, device type, and distance. While consumer ports can reach 2 meters, a maximum distance of 1 meter is recommended. Low-power ports in mobile devices and PDAs have a range of up to 30 cm. Devices should ideally be positioned within a 30-degree angle with no obstructions.
IrDA-
