A cell blocker is a device used to block or interfere with mobile phone signals. It is usually used to create a quiet environment to prevent the use of mobile phones in certain places or specific situations. However, many people may be curious whether a cell blocker can also block infrared communication? In this article, we will explore the impact and technical limitations of cell phone jammers on infrared communication.
Understanding infrared communication
Infrared communication technology uses infrared rays to transmit data and is a type of wireless communication technology.
Infrared communication technology does not require physical connections, is simple and easy to use, and has low implementation costs. Therefore, it is widely used in the exchange of data between small mobile devices and the control of electrical equipment, such as laptops, personal digital assistants, data exchange between mobile phones or between computers (personal networks), remote controls for televisions and air conditioners, etc. Due to the direct radiation characteristics of infrared rays, infrared communication technology is not suitable for places with many transmission obstacles. In such occasions, radio communication technology or Bluetooth technology is generally used. Infrared communication technology has a short transmission distance and low transmission rate in most cases.
The impact of cell blockers on infrared communication
Although cell blockers are mainly used to block mobile phone signals, they may cause a certain degree of interference to nearby infrared communications. Since infrared communications are usually carried out over a shorter distance, cell phone jammers may interfere with such communications to a certain extent, causing the function of infrared devices to be affected or interrupted.
Technical limitations
It may be more challenging to completely block infrared communications. Because the wavelength and frequency of infrared communications are different from mobile phone signals, specially designed equipment is required to effectively block infrared communications, which may be beyond the functional range of cell phone jammers.
Although cell phone jammer devices are mainly used to block mobile phone signals, they may cause some degree of interference to nearby infrared communications. However, it may be more challenging to completely block infrared communications and may require specially designed equipment. Therefore, when considering whether a cell phone jammer can block infrared communications, its possible impact and technical limitations need to be weighed.
