Infrared ports, or IRDA, are on many laptops, PDAs and some phones. This is just like BlueTooth or Wifi, but slower. Two PDAs can exchange data this way quite easily.

What type of wireless transmission requires a line-of-sight clearance?
An infrared transceiver, also called an IrDA (Infrared Data Association) transceiver or an IR transceiver, provides an infrared port for wireless communication. Microwave links offer high speed data transfer and also require line of sight between the transponders. Additionally, satellite receivers demand a clear path to the satellite itself although cloud cover and other atmospheric conditions mean that a line of visible sight is not required.
What is infrared port for laptop computer?
Infrared or IRDA port is a wireless serial port which uses Infrared (invisible) light for transmission and reception of data. (Infrared light is also used in TV remote controls). Infrared port on a laptop computer can be used to transfer data to and from another computer or a mobile device like a PDA or mobile phone without wires over short distance. Infrared port will need a line of sight communication path i.e. to establish a connection and for reliable communication Infrared ports of two devices should face each other. Not all laptops have Infrared ports. Some have these built in the machine and for some if needed you will have to add an Infrared port device on USB port. - Neeraj Sharma
