Abstract
An infrared data repeater adapted for providing communication of infrared signals across an infrared transmission barrier comprises a pair of relay units mounted at opposite ends of a housing. The housing may be mounted in the wall of a building. Arrays of receiver and transmitter elements of the relay units are configured to provide communication over substantial solid angles. The relay units may be selectively directionally orientated. The elements define different effective pre-established solid angles of reception and transmission. The elements are arranged so that there is an inverse relationship between the solid angle and the distance between the element and a corresponding infrared receiver or transmitter.
