** IrDA infrared communication is an inexpensive and widely
adopted short range wireless technology that allows devices to share data easily. Key protocol features make operation
simple even for inexperienced users or devices with very little user interface. Digital cameras, phones, pagers, data
collectors, set-top boxes, modems, kiosks, instruments, machinery, ID badges, watches, and computer peripherals are
some of the natural products implementing this technology.
