with PDAs or mobile phones and even wireless printing to printers. If your office supports
IrDA networking, you can have wireless connection to a network anywhere provided there
is a direct line of sight to an IrDA node. Small offices can use IrDA technology to share a printer between
several closely placed Notebook PCs and even send files to each other without a network.
