Claim:
1. A system for controlling remote operation of a ground compaction device, the system comprising: a hand-held device that remotely communicates with a ground compaction device; a first transmitter and a first receiver that provide a radio wavelength wireless communication between the hand-held device and the ground compaction device, the radio wavelength communication communicating operational control commands to the ground compaction device from instructions provided by a user associated with the hand-held device; and a second transmitter and a second receiver that provide an infrared wavelength wireless communication between the hand-held device and the ground compaction device, wherein the infrared wavelength wireless communication does not include operational control commands associated with the radio wavelength wireless communication and such that operation of the ground compaction device is allowed to continue in accordance with instructions received via the radio wavelength wireless communication during interference for a selected duration of the infrared wavelength wireless communication and operation can be suspended as a function of a status of the infrared wavelength wireless communication and the suspension of the operation is dynamically responsive to control commands received upon interference of the infrared wireless communication.
