Technology Comparison: RIIM vs ZigBee vs Wi-SUN vs LoRa

Are you considering a mesh network for your next project but are unsure which wireless technology to use? Or perhaps the existing technology you are using is not performing as expected and you need a change? Similarly, you might just be looking for a technology comparison to help in your decision making.

Radiocrafts has been in discussion with several customers who are dissatisfied with their current installations using mesh technologies such as ZigBee, Wi-SUN, and LoRa and want to find a new solution. Complaints we hear often include a lack of reliable scalability, too short range with 2.4 GHz solutions, complex commissioning of nodes, too long latency for control aspects of the deployment and for over-the-air updates (downlink communication), and more.

Do you see similar issues with your installation?

This is where Radiocrafts’ RIIM Sub-GHz Mesh technology offers an optimal solution which answers all of these issues. 

We have therefore created a new technology comparison flyer which describes the technology differences between RIIM and the above mentioned technologies (ZigBee, Wi-SUN, and LoRa) and the applications which each technology thrives most in. The flyer also contains detailed explanations and illustrations on the various RIIM benefits we discuss in the technology comparison including (TSCH) Time-Synchronised Channel Hopping and Polite Access Spectrum features. Both of these features combined allow you to create a highly reliable and scalable mesh network with high data throughput, low latency, and ultra-low battery life compared to the above mentioned technologies.
