During the summer of 1996, we evaluated the performance of the Jolt UWIN807 long range 10 Mbps (LED based) ethernet transceivers in back to back laboratory tests. In this project we built an IR testbed, in order to perform bit error rate, packet error rate, and received signal strength vs. attenuation measurements in order to gain experience with and provide insight into the theory, design, testing, and operation of efficient high speed outdoor IR communication systems.

The following picture illustrates one of our tests, in which we compared the performance between different network configurations (with and without the UWIN807).
