Disclosed is a system for rapid, wireless communication of electrically-generated and detected, serial digital data signals via a plurality of infrared (or other compatible wireless medium) transceivers. Signals are communicated without electrical connection among computers, fax machines, computer peripheral equipment, or may be employed within self-contained communication, control data-acquisition, and/or display systems. The system operates at predetermined maximum data rates and sub-multiples thereof. The disclosed transceivers can be joined with additional circuits, to form an arrangement that operates as a wireless modem. In each arrangement, light is continuously modulated at either of two precise multiples of the predetermined maximum data rate, and is synchronized to transmitted-data transitions. Upon receipt of light-signals thus produced, the system's receiving transceiver synchronizes received-data electrical output signals to the received modulated light signals. Received light-modulation periods are measured and verified continuously within each data-state interval, minimizing data-delay times and transition-timing distortions in the system's electrical output signals.
