3. Zigbee and Other Mesh Protocols :- Zigbee, an IEEE 802.15.4 short-range, low-power
wireless standard, is frequently used in mesh topologies to increase coverage by
transmitting sensor data across numerous sensor nodes. Zigbee has better data rates than
LPWAN, but because of its mesh architecture, it also uses a lot less power.
Zigbee and comparable mesh protocols (such as Z-Wave, Thread, etc.) are best suited for
medium-range Internet of Things applications with an equitable distribution of nodes in
close vicinity because of their physical short-range ( 100m). For many home automation use
cases, such as smart lighting, HVAC controls, security and energy management, etc. -
utilising home sensor networks - Zigbee is typically a natural companion to Wi-Fi.
4. Bluetooth and BLE :- Bluetooth is a short-range communication technology that fits well
into the category of Wireless Personal Area Networks and is well-positioned in the
consumer market. The point-to-point or point-to-multipoint (up to seven slave nodes) data
exchange between consumer electronics products was the initial purpose of Bluetooth
Classic. In order to target small-scale Consumer IoT applications, Bluetooth Low-Energy was
later designed and optimised for power usage.
In order to communicate data to the cloud, BLE-enabled devices are often utilised in
conjunction with electronic devices, most commonly smartphones. These days, Bluetooth
Low Energy (BLE) is frequently incorporated into health and fitness wearables (such as
smartwatches, glucose metres, pulse oximeters, etc.) as well as Smart Home devices (such
as door locks), enabling data to be easily transmitted to and displayed on smartphones.
5. Wi-Fi :- Given Wi-crucial Fi's function in delivering high-throughput data transfer for both
workplace and household environments, it is essentially unnecessary to describe it. The
technology is far less common in the IoT arena due to significant limits in coverage,
scalability, and power consumption.
Wi-Fi is frequently not a practical choice for large networks of battery-operated IoT sensors
due to its high energy consumption, particularly in industrial IoT and smart building
situations. Instead, it focuses more on connecting electronics that can easily be plugged into
a power outlet, such as smart household appliances, digital billboards, and security cameras.

Sensors in Agriculture field
pH Sensors in Agriculture :- The availability of nutrients is just as important for animal and
living organism growth as it is for plant growth. It is crucial to have a thorough
understanding of the soil conditions from which agricultural goods are derived in order to
maximise a plant's growth potential and produce highly productive harvests. The use of pH
sensors offers essential information about nutritional deficits in the soil or the presence of
undesirable substances. In order to continue educating the agricultural business, these
sensors support smart agriculture in monitoring daily, weekly, monthly, and annual
oscillations in soil pH and nutrient levels.

Challenges
Scalability:- Scales for SNs range from a few nodes to perhaps several numbers. Additionally,
the deployment density can be altered appropriately. The node density may get so high
throughout the high-resolution data collection procedure that each node has a large
number of neighbours within its transmission range. The protocols used in SNs should be
scalable to these levels and capable of successfully maintaining and preserving
performance.
Culpability Tolerance:- SNs frequently operate in hazardous environments and are
vulnerable. The nodes' failure is allegedly caused by hardware issues, physical impairment,
or by taxing their energy source. The node failure rates are obviously far larger than those
typically taken into account in WNs that have been fortified or have infrastructure installed.
The protocols used in an SN should be capable of quickly identifying these node failures and
should be extremely resilient in handling several node failures while maintaining and
retaining the full functioning of the network system. This is especially pertinent to the
routing protocol project, which makes sure that additional pathways are available for packet
redirection. However, different deployment scenarios call for different culpability tolerance
requirements.
Cost of Production: Only if the specific SNs could be produced affordably would sensor
networks be able to compete with conventional information collecting techniques since
some deployment models treat the SNs as disposable devices. A NS's targeted goal price
should ideally be extremely cheap.
