Can some Internet of Things things work using infrared links similar to those used for television remote control technology please?

Can, or could, infrared links similar to those used for television remote control technology be used so that a wifi link is not needed?

Could "going round corners where line-of-sight does not go" be done using an infrared repeater unit using fibre optic cable to allow the information link to go from one room to another room without needing a wifi link?
