IrDA is an industry-sponsored organization set up in 1993 to create international standards for the hardware and software used in infrared communication links. In this special form of RF transmission, a focused ray of light in the infrared frequency spectrum, measured in terahertz, or trillions of hertz (cycles per second), is modulated with information and sent from a transmitter to a receiver over a relatively short distance. Infrared radiation (IR) is the same technology used to control a TV set with a remote control. Infrared data communication is playing an important role in wireless data communication due to the popularity of laptop computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), digital cameras, mobile telephones, pagers, and other devices.
A networking protocol used to transmit data created by infrared devices. Infrared Data Association is also the name of the industry organization of computer, component, and telecommunications vendors who establish the standards for infrared communication between computers and peripheral devices, such as printers. See also infrared; infrared device; infrared port.
Infrared Data Association (IrDA) is agreed upon standard that enables data to be transferred between devices using infrared light instead of cables.
Publisher of a wireless connectivity standard, which makes it possible to connect computers and hardware devices without using cables.
These people developed the IRDA port standard that transfers data through the use of infrared light. Of course, you must have two IRDA devices to get any...
A membership organization founded in 1993 and dedicated to developing standards for wireless, infrared transmission systems between computers. With IrDA ports, a laptop or PDA can exchange data with a desktop computer or use a printer without a cable connection. Like a TV remote control, IrDA requires line-of-sight transmission. IrDA products began to appear in 1995.
The Infrared Data Association (IrDA) defines physical specifications communications protocol standards for the short range exchange of data over infrared light, for uses such as personal area networks (PANs).
