Abstract

Wireless data communications are currently being implemented by the complementary technologies of RF and IR. The RF options provide larger area coverage than wireless optical communications but are limited in full bandwidth throughput to about 5 Mbps whereas infrared systems using IR-LED have achieved data rates up to 125 Mbps which makes them suitable for use in FDDI, Fast Ethernet and ATM wireless connectivity as well as Token Ring, Ethernet and PABX (voice).
