*IrReady Certification assures: a) reliable error-free IR data transfer, b) solid compatibility with other IrReady certified IrDA devices, c) strong immunity to
interference. “IrReady Certified Products” are listed at http://www.irda.org/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=22. IrReady Certification requires
passing: a) IrPHY (Bit Error Rate, Intensity, Sensitivity, Timing), b) IrDA Protocol and Inter-Operability (IrDA Application Profiles) tough tests.
