About this document
Infrared vs. Radio Transmission Overview by haritha is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Infrared transmission uses infrared light-emitting diodes and silicon photodiodes to transmit data over short ranges through line-of-sight. It has advantages of simple circuits, low power consumption, and security, but disadvantages of short range and blockage by common materials. Radio transmission modulates electromagnetic waves below visible light to transmit signals over larger areas through walls using audio, video, and data, but requires licensing and has interference and power consumption issues.
