LowRateWirelessPersonalAreaNetworkStandards
Low-rate wireless refers to a class of wireless communication technologies designed for low data throughput, low power consumption, and low cost per device. These systems typically transmit small packets at data rates ranging from a few bits per second up to tens of kilobits per second, enabling very long battery life and inexpensive hardware. They are widely used in Internet of Things (IoT) and automation scenarios where sensors, actuators, and wearables require intermittent data updates rather than high-bandwidth streaming.
Technologies in this category include standards and protocols such as IEEE 802.15.4-based networks (including Zigbee and
Key considerations in deploying low-rate wireless systems include power availability, range requirements, interference from other devices
