Off-camera flash on Canon 550D ?

YN-560EX Most affordable solution - $75-$90 TTL off-camera only

Yongnuo 560EX. Not to be confused with yongnuo 560, 560ii, or 560iii. I believe the 560ex is newer than those. The 560ex is not capable of e-ttl on camera ( only manual mode on camera) but - used off camera, it can do e-ttl in conjunction with a wireless transmitter such as canon St-e2 or youngnuo's st-e2.

I just received a 560Ex today, paid $75.00 from a U.S. Seller, new/unused. I have a canon T2i/550D.

My only only question is if this flash can be used with radio triggers (yn602 or 603) or if it only responds to infared signals (St-e2) would the St-e2 struggle in outdoor environment?
