Title: Long Range, Low Power Wireless module for IOT: AWESOME!!!
Post by: usgine2003 on November 22, 2014, 05:31:15 pm
I don't know if you guys are into IOT, but this module is the BOMB!
More than 4miles range, 5years on 2AAA batteries, Serial, Digital and Analog ports, works with lots of sensors:
Check it out here on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1630453569/whisker-iot-invention-system)

Yes, Long Range is the key for succesful IoT deployment.
We are working on Long Range, Low Power Sensor Networks as well:

http://www.citairo.com (http://www.citairo.com)

Anybody interested in joining us, to help us to improve even more Long Range?
(we have in mind: 4 -5 miles in cities, <1 mile in buildings, 20 miles in rural areas)

Not around here, unless both ends on sitting on 100-ft towers, up above the vegetation.

Carefully avoiding detailing which frequency band they intend to operate in, though at least the 900MHz ISM band in Australia has a useful 1W EIRP class limit. And checking the current ACMA limits they finally increased the allowable 2.4GHz EIRP to a much more useable 4W, though try to clamp down on anyone using that new power for useful transmissions.

Yup. Enough of the nebulous bullshit. Post specifics or knock this crap off.

I didn't quite get what the radio link is, it just mentions 868 MHz EU and something about 6 spreading codes. Did I miss the info somewhere?
