Title: Bluetooth vs Zigbee 802.11g vs Infrared vs Radio
Post by: vidam on January 26, 2010, 12:53:17 PM

Hi, I am interested in a study that compares wireless modes of communication amongst bluetooth, 802.11 g, zigbee, infrared and radio for wireless sensing and remoting.

The study would compare risks, baud, processors, precision, resolution, bandwidth, power requiremetns, distance, protocols, cost, and sampling rates.

Thank you!

Infrared:

Radio is too wide a topic for comparison here. I think you should break it up into several sub-categories to get a good comparison.

So, what exactly is your question?

If you are looking for an exact study on those specific technologies, i would be very surprised if any exist. You can find basic studies on RF vs IR, but not on different RF manufacturers.
