Welcome to IrDA
Description
The Infrared Data Association, often referred to as IrDA, is a nonprofit organization whose goal is to develop globally adopted specifications for infrared wireless communication. Celebrating its ten-year anniversary, IrDA was formed in 1994. It thrives today due to the hundreds of corporate and individual members who volunteer their time and know-how to the continued development of IrDA applications and specifications.
At the core of the Infrared Data Association are Special Interest Groups or SIGs. SIGs were responsible for developing the protocols currently used to define the way IrDA-enabled devices discover, negotiate, and transfer data. Today, there are SIGs defining specifications for making infrared wireless payments at POS terminals and vending machines ( IrFM ), on the technical and marketing requirements for communicating at data rates exceeding 100 Mbit/s ( UFIR ), on the transfer of digital content at speeds up to 100 mbps or greater (IrBurst) and on defining common standards with traffic toll collection systems ( IrTM ).
Global acceptance and use of these specifications is paramount to the success of IrDA and its members. The Architectural Council works with the SIGs in the early definition of new specifications, ensuring that they are compatible and offer legacy support to existing specifications. The Marketing Committee provides tactical support in developing new markets and strategic support in promoting infrared wireless communication. The Technical Committee resolves all technical issues that arise during specification development and the Test and Interop Committee provides tools and services to ensure compliance to specifications and interoperability.
