What is the difference between Canon's Remote Switch and Remote Control?

Question

I own a Canon Rebel T3i and on the accessories page on Canon website there is a Remote Switch (Cable Switch) and Remote Control. What is the difference between both (they are the same price) and if I got one do I really need the other one?

Answer

The remote switch (RS-60E3) is a wired shutter release switch that allows for the activation of the shutter via a cabled interface.

The remote control (RC-6) is a wireless shutter release device that allows the shutter to be activated using an infrared signal.

They perform the same function with the difference being wired vs. wireless.
