Application Note: Short-Range RF For Sensor Monitoring

With the skyrocketing cost of wiring and the growing demand for distributed and remote sensing, data acquisition, and control, the role of wireless communications only gets bigger. Sensor manufacturers are integrating RF systems in the same enclosure as their sensing devices. Data logger vendors are beginning to turn to wireless communications to enhance their products. And wireless networks are taking their place right next to traditional hardwired configurations. The industry is moving toward the implementation of networks of wireless sensors that can operate in demanding environments and provide clear advantages in cost, size, power, flexibility, and distributed intelligence.
