Wireless IoT Connectivity Comparison → Accessibility, Home AP, Gateway, Hub, Repeater, Border Router
(Internet) Accessibility
Accessibility refers to how easily a wireless device can be connected to a network around our lives.
The important point of this is directly related to the cost per device and management of IoT products.
Accessibility | Best | Good/Best | Bad |
by Home AP/Base Station | by Cell Phone | by Dedicated Gateway | |
Connectivity | Wi-Fi | BLE, BT(ER/EDR) | Thread, ZigBee |
NB-IoT, CAT-M1 | WIFI | Wi-SUN |
Note.
In the case of “Best”, there is no need for additional costs for the central device/gateway.
