I found this interesting: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flutterwireless/flutter-20-wireless-arduino-with-half-mile-1km-ran. It may have the range you need, but I cannot get a clear view of power requirements. Of course programming it for minimal on time will help like deep sleep modes etc. etc.

Cheers,

One thing you need to consider (Well I am sure there are many but im pointing this one out specifically), Bluetooth is not know for range (10-30Meters at best and in absolute ideal conditions), you may need to resort to Sub 1Ghz radios in order to get from far field to the base station, this would be less power than WIFI and still quite low cost and are easy to interface to your systems

I don't know if you have looked at the ranges available for different wireless technologies but if you have not, I would do sooner than later as it will affect your designs

This looks like cricket, I know from first hand experience what it is like to get hit directly from a cricket ball without a helmet and it is not nice, even hitting a helmet from a pro swing would be devastating so this should prove quite informative

I look forward to seeing this progress
