Here are six reasons why it is useful to have infrared:
1) It is inexpensive. You do not have to pay
any network charges to send or receive files using Infrared on your
phone. And since it is a no-frills technology, you do not have to
spend extra money buying additional accessories or components.
2) It is easy to use. Just point the devices at
each other to start sending and receiving files.
3) It is secure. As Infrared operates within a
short transmission range, you do not have to worry about your data
being broadcast or transmitted over long distances. Secondly, the
line-of-sight technology means that you are in control of who and
where you choose to send your data - it cannot be picked up by
other Infrared users in the vicinity. Finally, since infrared rays
cannot travel through walls or objects, the risk of a third party
intercepting your data is significantly reduced.
4) It can be used virtually anywhere. Infrared
technology is the same the world over, which means that you can use
it wherever you are. Since Infrared uses low frequency light waves,
it does not interfere or cause problems with radio waves or
signals, making it possible to use in security-sensitive places
such as hospitals and airports.
5) It is fast. Thanks to its close range,
line-of-sight mode of operation, you can send and receive files at
speeds ranging from 4 Mbps to 16 Mbps.
6) It is energy-effective. This means you do
not have to charge your phone each time you use Infrared to send or
download data.
