Wireless Protocols

We should consider to a combination of options to ensure a stable connection during ASC and FSGP

Protocol	Range/Coverage	Theoretical	Measured
Wi-Fi	100 m (typical) 3-5 km (long-range & omnidirectional) Direct line-of-sight to the router	> 36.1 Mbps	Pi 3+: 54.6 Mbps (Upload) 42.1 Mbps (Download)
LTE	Verizon has LTE coverage over the FSGP track and most of the roads along the ASC route Direct line-of-sight to the tower	> 2 Mbps (Upload) > 5 Mbps (Download)	SIM7600X: > 0.68 Mbps (Upload) > 6.27 Mbps (Download)
GSM	Carriers are deprecating 2G in favour of 4G. Direct line-of-sight to the tower.	20 ~ 50 kbps
CAN		= 500 kps

Location	LTE Coverage
Heartland Motorsports Park	All carriers
Topeka - Kansas City	All carriers
Stage 1	Verizon and AT&T
Stage 2	Verizon: 90%; poor reception around Whiskey Park
Stage 3	Verizon: 90%
Stage 4	All carriers

This will have a web-app on someones laptop that will be able to view and log all the important data about the car's performance.

Lower priority, mostly a front end display data kinda thing.

Section	Information Visible
Battery	Voltages, temperatures, charge, etc
Relay States	Motors, battery, solar
Solar Cell	Voltages, temperatures, etc.
Power Consumption	Battery pack, each board, each light, motors, etc.
Charging	Current, voltage, state of charge, calculation of time left till full charge, etc.
