IrDA can be used to communicate using Infrared to other IrDA compliant devices, such as other Notebooks, PDAs and mobile phones. |
Pre-2006 IBM ThinkPads have integrated IrDA that can be used in one of two modes, SIR or FIR.
- SIR is limited to serial datarates up to 115.2Kb/s
- FIR is the preferred mode of IrDA operation and operates at a bandwidth of 4 Mbps
Some very old ThinkPads only support SIR mode, or might not have IrDA support at all.
A newer VFIR standard exists, which supports speeds upto 16Mbps. However for the moment no ThinkPads support this.
