Selecting the right wireless module is critical for the success of any IoT project. This guide compares the main wireless technologies to help you make an informed decision.
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
Ideal for short-range, low-power applications such as wearables, smart home devices, and medical monitors. BLE offers excellent power efficiency and wide smartphone compatibility.
WiFi
Best for applications requiring high data throughput and direct internet connectivity. WiFi modules are suitable for smart cameras, gateways, and industrial controllers.
LoRa
Perfect for long-range, low-power applications like agriculture monitoring, smart city infrastructure, and asset tracking. LoRa enables communication over several kilometers.
UWB
Ultra-wideband technology provides precise location and positioning capabilities, making it ideal for indoor navigation, asset tracking, and access control systems.
