Range vs Power Consumption vs Capilatity

Data Transport

• How many layers we need?

• Is GSM/GPRS the answer?

• Power requirements for the base stations/gateways

• Opportunistic communications or always on?

• Robust (users proof)


• …

• Again, Great challenges!

Data Transport

Data Transport

• How many layers do we need?




• Robust (users proof)


Data Transport

• How many layers do we need?


How to stratify communications layers?

It's cellular cost worth?

Which are the power consumption implications?

Can we have a large antenna?

Data Transport


Grid powered?

Solar Panel?

Other?

Data Transport


Are opportunistic communication a save way to go?

Are they reliable enough?
