4G/5G: The advantages are fast transmission speed, wide coverage, and the ability to achieve remote real-time monitoring. It is not limited by geographical distance and can easily transmit monitoring data to cloud platforms or remote monitoring centers. The disadvantage is that it relies on the operator's network, which may result in unstable signals, and there may be certain data usage fees during use.
Wi - Fi: The advantages are easy deployment, relatively low cost, high transmission rate, and suitable for monitoring areas with wireless network coverage and close distances, such as monitoring inside buildings. The disadvantage is that the signal coverage range is limited, with an effective indoor coverage distance of several tens of meters, and it is easily affected by interference in the same frequency band, resulting in relatively poor stability.
Bluetooth: Its advantages are low power consumption and low cost, suitable for monitoring devices with short distance and low data transmission, such as data transmission between small sensor nodes. The disadvantage is that the transmission distance is short, with an effective distance of about 10 meters and a relatively low data transmission rate, which is not suitable for transmitting large amounts of monitoring data over long distances.
