Comment : | 6.7.7 Infrared P.33 This is totally impractical except for fixed devices that could be precisely aligned and that remained immobile unless the standard is referring to a light guide enclosed in an opaque enclosure. If the optical devices communicate through the air, in order to be functional these devices must accept optical radiation from a cone of view (30 degrees for IrDA). As a result, this requirement is meaningless as a method for securing optical wireless devices. If this requirement is interpreted literally, these communicating devices are no longer operating wireless, but are communicating through a shielded path that connect the devices.
