  • Wireless Connectivity for the Internet of Things, One
    Wireless connectivity for the Internet of Things: One size does not fit all Nick Lethaby IoT Ecosystem Manager Texas Instruments In the rapidly growing Internet of Things (IoT), applications from personal electronics to industrial machines and sensors connect wirelessly to the internet. Covering a wide variety of use cases in various environments and serving diverse requirements, no single wireless standard can adequately prevail. With numerous standards deployed in the market, spread over multiple frequency bands and using different communication protocols, choosing the right wireless connectivity technology for an IoT application can be quite challenging. In this paper, we will review the predominant wireless connectivity technologies, discuss their key technical concepts and engineering trade-offs, and provide guidelines for selecting the right wireless technology for different applications. We will focus specifically on wireless technologies that operate in the industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band where spectrum use is free, rather than technologies like cellular where the purchase of licensed spectrum drives up cost. Frequency bands and worldwide regulations The International Telecommunication Union’s Radio Agencies such as the Federal Communications communication (ITU-R) Sector, which coordinates Commission (FCC) in the U.S. and the Conference the shared global use of the radio spectrum, has of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations reserved several frequency bands for industrial, (CEPT) in Europe regulate radio transmissions

Although one-way television signal distribution continues to be the primary application of cable television systems, the cable television network can be used for two-way data communications. Data communication places severe engineering demands on the performance of a cable television network. Therefore, to ensure that data communications capabilities are not precluded by poor engineering, local cable authorities and the cable industry must identify and overcome the technical barriers to the application of cable television networks to data communications. We identify the following as the primary technical requirements that remain to be addressed by the cable industry: - Methods for controlling the accumulation of insertion noise and ingress on upstreimr channels.
