Wireless Protocols
We should consider to a combination of options to ensure a stable connection during ASC and FSGP
Protocol | Range/Coverage | Data Rate |
---|---|---|
Wi-Fi | 100 m (typical) 3-5 km (long-range & omnidirectional) Direct line-of-sight to the router | > 36.1 Mbps |
LoRa | 10 km Better non-line-of-sight performance due to a lower frequency of 915 MHz than 2.4 GHz | < 27 kbps |
LTE/LTE-M | Verizon has LTE coverage over the FSGP track and most of the roads along the ASC route Direct line-of-sight to the tower | < 300 kbps |
CAN | = 500 kps |
