Hi.  I've seen a few home-brew robots out there using cordless phones with a
cheap modem at each end to do what you seem to want to do.  You just encode your
data on one end, send it from the base microphone to the handset speaker, and
decode.  Voila!  wireless modems!  (inexpensive too, just get a cheap cordless
phone with 10 channels maybe, about $50, two cheap modems, about $50 each, and
for $150, you've got a wireless modem.
