I've posted a Q&A question asking if he's correct " You can use a completely different signaling technology" If yes, I also asked if we can use 2.4 Ghz spread spectrum. I fly large scale radio controlled airplanes using this technolgy and it has none of the shortcoming of IR. We'll see what the Q&A folks have to say.

The answer will almost certainly be no. Allowed communication methods for hybrid signaling according to the rules are IR, Ultrasonic and Visible Light.
