Wireless long range communications

Former Member
Former Member over 16 years ago

Hi there,

 

I am new at this community and my English isn't at its highest level but I think it is interesting to open a topic about long range wireless communications.

 

Imagine you need to communicate over more than 5Km without wires, what would be your solution? It doesn't need to be something new or something difficult the idea is to gather some solutions already on the market and discuss some new possibilities. Any scenario is possible!!

 

To start this topic my idea for a wide sensor network without wires is using these nice things: http://www.libelium.com/products/waspmote

 

I still didn't test this equipment but they say they cover 12km with LOS I will post something more when I get to test them.

 

Remember any type of wireless communications are on the table, for any type of data!!!

 

Regards,

João Ferreira (FEUP)

    I've achieved 7 Kms in outdoor so I think it shouldn't be any problem.  But remember, due to the Fressnell areas you will need to place the long range devices in a tower (I'm supposing you are speaking about outdoors). Ofen I use a WSN with powered devices using TI solutions like CC2420RTC.CC2420RTC. and a long range gateway which concentrates the info and forward it to the far station. For this gateway Maxstream offer nice modules and may be Libelium too.

     

    Best regards.
