HP also produced a low-cost, high-speed infrared transceiver that allowed wireless data exchange in a range of portable computing applications; these included telephones, computers, printers, cash registers, automatic teller machines, and digital cameras. After Compaq merged with Hewlett-Packard in 2002, it took over Compaq's existing naming rights agreement, and so sold both HP- and Compaq-branded machines until 2013. In May 2024, HP announced that
