Looking for suitable wireless module
« on: February 23, 2024, 04:46:08 pm »
In past few years lots of new wireless modules are introduced, I'm looking for some recomendations for my application where I want:

1. battery operated low power
2. tranmist short data, just temperature, humidity and battery status
3. about 100meters bit noisy environment
4. Many to one, about 6 to 20 nodes sending data to host, where host will send data to server with the help of MCU who is acting as middle layer between Wifi and wireless

Not considering LoRa, ESP, Zigbee

Why exclude LoRa and Zigbee, which are intended for this type of application?!?

BLE is an option.
1. Very low power and runs well with battery.
2. You can wake up the MCU when there is a need to measure and send data. This scenario is ok with temperature and humidity sensors.
3. 100 meter is fine if there are no obstacles that can block 2.4GHz between the nodes.
4. Peripheral devices may include a BLE MCU (nrf52 etc.), battery and sensors. Host is a BLE + wifi device (ESP32 etc.).

You could use a laptop wifi card, and am I to understand this will be routed through a cullular carrier?  The lappy card would be about right for power. The firmware is all done for you. It's about 3/4x5/8x1/16". It's probably the most common wifi device in the world with firmware writtten for almost everything. If you don't get FCC approval, the firmware is pretty liberally distributed, if you just ask for what you want.
