Low Power Communication

IEEE 802.15.4
• It is technical standard which defines the
operation of a low-cost, low-power
consumption, low complexity, low to medium
range communication standard at the link and
the physical layers for resource constrained
devices.
 Bluetooth low energy
• This is the ultra-low power version of the
Bluetooth technology that is up to 15 times
more efficient than Bluetooth.
Ultra-Wide Bandwidth (UWB) Technology

• This is an emerging technology in the IoT

domain that transmits signals across a much
larger frequency range than conventional
systems.
• UWB, in addition to its communication
capabilities, it can allow for high precision
ranging of devices in IoT applications.
 ISO 18000–7 DASH7
• This standard is developed by DASH7 Alliance is a low power,
low complexity, radio protocol for all sub 1GHz radio devices.
• It is a non-proprietary technology based on an open standard,
and the solutions may contain a pool of companion
technologies operating in their own ways.
• Common for these technologies are that they use a Sub 1 GHz
silicon radio (433 MHz) as their primary communicating device.
• The applications using DASH7 include supply chain
management, inventory/yard management, manufacturing and
warehouse optimization, hazardous material monitoring, smart
meter and commercial green building development.
 RFID/NFC
• This technology proposes a variety of standards
to offer contactless solutions.
• Proximity cards can only be read from less than
10 cm and follows the ISO 14443 standard and
is also the basis of the NFC standard.
• RFID tags or vicinity tags dedicated to
identification of objects have a reading distance
which can reach 7 to 8 meters.
