Wireless Communication: IR What it is A compact infrared wireless communication module that enables data and control signals to be transmitted without cables. It uses standard infrared technology to establish a short range, lineofsight wireless link between IR capable devices. Key benefits Cable operation for shortrange, pointtopoint communication Simple integration with devices that have IR transmitters and receivers Low power consumption suitable for portable or battery powered applications Broad compatibility with devices and systems that support common IR protocols Important attributes Function: infrared wireless communication module Compatibility: IR enabled devices and systems using standard IR protocols Size: compact form factor designed for easy integration into portable and small devices Material: enclosed module suitable for electronics integration Performance: shortrange, lineofsight operation with low latency for control signals Use scenarios Remote control of a television, projector, or home theater receiver Wireless data exchange between two microcontroller boards or sensors in a lab, workshop, or hobby project IR based control for home automation components, such as operating a media center or IR controlled lighting system
