With increasing prevalence of mobile devices, the IrDA communications have come into a golden age of development.

The article ends with the examination of Linux IrDa support and a brief look at performance issues faced by wireless networking devices.

Server IrDA Infra Red Data Association. This body sets the standards used in infra-red communications.

IrDA defines a protocol suite designed to support point-to-point infrared data transmission between two wireless devices over a short range.

However, IrDA can be useful as a last resort technique to copy files to devices.

IrDA accommodates peer connectivity where multiple devices can establish connections to the same host.

Infrared connections require no additional wiring, and both Pocket PC and Smartphone devices come with IrDA ports as standard.

Communication approaches including serial port, IrDA, and Bluetooth are supported.

The IrDA infrared link used in the Palm PDA is another defined solution to the same problem.

Infrared Data (IrDa) is a specification to wirelessly transfer data using infrared radiation.

This enumeration describes the character set supported by the IrDA device that was discovered.

IrLAP is the link accesses protocol layer responsible for IrDa device discovery, retransmission, and flow control.

Connects a client to a specified IrDA endpoint.

This device requires support for the IrDA Infrared Medium.

The IrDA infrared port. It can be used to establish wireless serial and network links to other computers.

IrDa chips incompatible with the serial driver have their own device drivers.

To use the IrDa protocols with Linux, you must install IrDa utilities (like irattach) developed as part of the Linux IrDa project.
