Recommend Wireless Module

Wireless & IoT
1

Hello,

I am currently working on a project that requires me to do some wireless do communication. One of the nodes at static and the other nodes is moving at about 60mph-70mph. I need to be able to transmit data about 10-50 bits of data. The range is about 500 meters. Can someone recommend a wireless module I can use to do this.

Thanks

XBee Series 1 Pro should do this.

500mts - LOS? Xbee Pro might do it. But not otherwise. Also depends on the antenna.

A pair of mini-wireless boards with Arduino mega32 aboard and a 100mW data transceiver. Low cost. There are more costly, more elegant ways, but this will likely work, if there are not a lot of obstructions in the path.

Consider using this software, then the app becomes just a few lines of code mod to on of the examples

Can you post a link? I couldn't find that particular combination.

I would agree over the XBee Series 1 Pro as I have heard a lot about this and surely thinks that this will fulfill all your requirements.

Sorry for the delay, I am looking at the link you have provided and am sure to try it out. Thanks.

I did consider the XBee Pros, but I wanted something lower in cost, in the long run and additionally the Pros I tested dint do farther than 100 meters even after using the Dipole antennas, and I dint want to use antennas bigger than that.

Anyways thanks for the suggestion, will continue looking for options.

Hi,

You can also check [WiFi module.](http://www.whiznets.com/wifi-modules.html)

sub-GHz, 100mW. Long range.

Hi, Have a look at NRF24L01+ with PA and LNG + ANTENNA. Cheap, 2.4Ghz, Bi-directional comms, up to 1000mts.

did you review this?

Low freq plus narrow channel width = longer range.

WiFi is 20MHz channel width. Good for speed. Bad for range. And 2.4GHz is too high for unlicensed band long range low rate telemetry.
