A Cost-effective Way to Test Sub 1-GHz Wireless Modules

Application Notes

Introduction

Sub 1-GHz wireless modules are used in a wide variety of internet of things (IoT) systems, such as the automatic meter reading (AMR), traffic signs and signals, security and social alarms, barcode readers, and motion detection solutions. Take an AMR system for example, this technology primarily saves utility providers the expense of periodic trips to each physical location to read a meter. Another advantage is that billing can be based on near real-time consumption rather than on estimates based on past or predicted consumption. This timely information, coupled with analysis, can help both utility providers and customers better control the use and production of electric energy, gas usage, or water consumption.
