EXAMPLES: * http://www.rock7mobile.com/products-rockblock.php Direct RF to InternetWi-fi(Internet at a coffee shop near you.) * Range- 300 ft on the best of days - * Benefits - pretty widely available, familiar, localize * Not-so-beneficial - often private, limited range, device can get forced out (this is why routers need resetting) GSM(the mobile phone protocol.) * Range - pretty much line of site to tower. * Benefits - Its EVERYWHERE (see: Verizon commercial), * CONS: Cost much money per message * ISSUES: There are a million standards * WHERE TO FIND COVERAGE http://www.mobileworldlive.com/maps RF Data TransferZigbee (Xbee) IEEE 802.15 standard.
APRS
900Mhz radio
bluetooth:
bluetooth LE:blue tooth low energy is a new bluetooth standard supported by fewer devices. Now integrated into some system on a chip packages from ARM. NFCvery short range, low power system built on RFID. |
