Wireless Resources
The goal for wireless system manufacturers is to provide low-cost, robust nodes that maximize battery life while extending the range of the network as far as possible. Today’s developers have a wide range of RF technology choices and must consider many factors when selecting the best one for their design, including sub-GHz versus 2.4 GHz frequency trends, operating range and battery life, sensitivity and data rate, network topology and node intelligence, and more.
Designing a smart water or gas utility meter can present a vexing low-power challenge for embedded control systems requiring RF connectivity. Since a single service call from a technician often exceeds the entire cost of the smart meter, battery life must exceed 20 years.
To build an advanced wireless system, most developers will end up choosing between two industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) radio band options – 2.4 GHz or sub-GHz frequencies. Depending on your priorities like range, power consumption, data rates, antenna size, interoperability, etc., which frequency you choose will determine the best combination of wireless performance and economy. Learn the benefits of both 2.4 GHz and sub-GHz frequencies and how they apply to specific applications like radio, smart metering and medical.
As green energy management becomes a global imperative, the idea of implementing intelligent systems and wireless technology to more efficiently use energy and other natural resources has become a pervasive reality. It began with a relatively simple idea. If you add embedded intelligence and a communications link to a traditional metering device, you have the ability to remotely access the data that the "smart meter" has collected. Whether designing a new smart meter or equipment to retrofit existing meters, there are a number of design considerations that will result in power savings, wireless range improvement and lower system cost.
