Waspmote is an open source wireless sensor platform specially focused on the implementation of low consumption modes which allows the sensor nodes ("motes") to be completely autonomous, that is battery powered. Lifetime of Waspmote sensor nodes may go from 1 to 5 years depending on the duty cycle and the radio used.
Waspmote 868 SMA 4.5 DBI modules are long-range embedded RF modules providing end-point device connectivity for European applications. Supporting RF line-of-sight distances, these modules are ideal for challenging wireless environments where RF penetration and transmission distance are critical to the application. Only for use in EUROPE
868 MHz short-range device G3 band for Europe
No configuration needed for out-of-the-box RF communications
Common XBee® footprint for a variety of RF modules
Outdoor RF line-of-sight range up to 80 km
Simple to use peer-to-peer or point-to-multipoint topology
You will need batteries to use Waspmote as an autonomous device.
