Wireless data transmission refers to the process of transmitting data between devices through wireless technologies such as radio waves or infrared rays. This technology is widely used in various fields, from home and office networks to industrial control and smart city solutions. The following is a detailed introduction to wireless data transmission:
Main technologies and protocols:
Wi-Fi (Wireless LAN):
Working frequency band: Mainly in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
Features: Provides high-speed, relatively short-range wireless data transmission, suitable for LAN connections in homes, offices and public places.
Working frequency band: Mainly in the 2.4GHz band.
Features: Used for short-range communication, such as data transmission between headphones, keyboards, mice, smartphones and other personal devices.
Working frequency band: Mainly in the 2.4GHz band, there are also 868MHz and 915MHz bands.
Features: Used for low power consumption, low data rate and short-range communication, suitable for networking and data transmission of IoT devices and sensor networks.
LoRa (Long Range):
Operating frequency band: Mainly in the 433MHz, 868MHz and 915MHz frequency bands.
Features: Provides long-distance, low-power wireless data transmission, suitable for wide-area IoT deployments, such as agricultural monitoring and smart city applications.
NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT) and LTE-M (LTE for Machines):
Operating frequency band: Based on cellular networks, usually working in licensed frequency bands.
Features: Provides high security and reliability of data transmission, suitable for applications where IoT devices require higher data transmission rates.
Infrared:
Features: Used for short-range communication, such as remote controls and infrared data transmission.
Application scenarios:
