Explanation

Infrared (IR) transmission requires a clear, unobstructed line of sight between the transmitter and receiver because IR signals cannot pass through solid objects. This is why TV remotes must be pointed directly at the TV. 802.11 Wi-Fi, RF (Radio Frequency), and Bluetooth all use radio waves that can diffract around obstacles and penetrate walls to varying degrees, making them non-line-of-sight technologies suitable for use through barriers.
