Data Transmission / Communication modes
Definition
Many options exist for air sensor data communication from the sensor to the sensor data repository and include cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, satellite, low-power wide-area network (LoRa), or other methods. Remember that you may want to test the communications at the actual site and inquire about ongoing costs associated with communicating data via cellular and other protocols. Ensure that you have the ability to enable the necessary settings on your computer and/or WiFi network to allow you to use the selected data transmission option (if applicable). Connectivity is key to any Internet of Things (IoT) deployment. Communication between machines is integral in IoT as it enables pieces of hardware to gather and exchange data.
