BÖBLINGEN, Germany -- Agilent Technologies Inc. announced a new serial infrared (SIR) transceiver that is ideal for new-generation personal information devices, such as PDAs, which are becoming increasingly thinner and more compact. These highly popular personal information devices capitalize on the infrared link to enable widely used applications like business card exchange, data synchronization, data and file transfer, as well as new applications like mobile commerce.With a profile of 2.7 mm high by 9.1 mm wide by 3.65 mm deep, the Agilent HSDL-3000 is one of the smallest transceivers in the market.

“These new transceivers are ideal for battery-operated personal information devices that require components with small form factor, low power consumption and excellent quality at a very affordable price,” said Peter Tay, marketing manager for Agilent’s Infrared Business Unit.
