Infrared Disadvantages


1. Line of sight: transmitters and receivers must be almost directly aligned (i.e. able to see
each other) to communicate
2. Blocked by common materials: people, walls, plants, etc. can block transmission
3. Short range: performance drops off with longer distances
4. Light, weather sensitive: direct sunlight, rain, fog, dust, pollution can affect transmission
5. Speed: data rate transmission is lower than typical wired transmission
