Abstract
Wireless Communications starts to prove its self as an
alternative for computer networking that save cabling cost and
provide dynamic topology. This paper presents a prototype for a
wireless data communication system using laser beam. The
hardware and communication protocol are also discussed. The
protocol allows the forwarding of packets to other computers,
which allows the creation of computer wireless network rather
than a communication between two points. The performance
results obtained showed that, the communication speed depends
on the quality of the photo cells used. By using a normal quality
Photo cells, a communication speed performance about 1 KB(Kilo byte)/sec
can be obtained.
