Handheld wireless radios such as this Maritime VHF radio transceiver use electromagnetic waves to implement a form of wireless communications technology. Wireless telecommunications, is the transfer of information between two or more points that are physically not connected. Distances can be short, as a few meters as in television remote control; or long ranging from thousands to millions of kilometers for deep-space radio communications. It encompasses various types of fixed, mobile, and portable two-way radios, cellular telephones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and wireless networking. Other examples of wireless technology include GPS units, garage door openers and or garage doors, wireless computer mice, keyboards and headsets, satellite television and cordless telephones.

  • Turning Legacy IR Devices Into Smart Iot Devices
    Turning Legacy IR Devices into Smart IoT Devices Chuta Sano1, Chao Gao1, Zupei Li1, Zhen Ling2, and Xinwen Fu3 1 University of Massachusetts Lowell, Lowell, MA 01854, USA {schuta, cgao, zli1}@cs.uml.edu 2 Southeast University, China [email protected] 3 University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL 32816, USA [email protected] Abstract. In this paper, we introduce a low-cost setup to convert an infrared (IR) controllable device to a smart IoT device. We design and implement a cir- cuit board containing an IR sensor and multiple IR LEDs in parallel that trans- mit up to around seventeen meters. The board has an interface that can be con- nected to a Raspberry Pi and other similar devices. Our IR signal learning tool can record IR signals of an IR remote while our IR replay tool can replay the recorded signals to control the corresponding IR device. Therefore, a smartphone can be used to remotely control IR devices through an MQTT bro- ker on a cloud server since the Raspberry Pi can be connected to the cloud. We also introduce the security implications of infrared communication using our setup and demonstrate attack scenarios. For example, a drone armed with our device can remotely turn off a TV - https://youtu.be/rPbzPbWrbf8 or http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzQ0Njc5MzM3Ng. Keywords: Internet of Things, Infrared, Smart Home, Drone. 1 Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT) is a world-wide network of uniquely addressable inter- connected objects [1][2]. Many household devices including TVs, fans, air condition- ers and toys have IR receivers and are controlled through IR remote.
