Various methods of measuring based on wireless technologies have been used for a long time in industry, in applications where communication over long distances is a must and where the costs for installing wires is much higher than the one of transmitting data over radio frequencies. Drill stems, gas infrastructures, pumping stations, agriculture projects, these are just a few of the examples where a wireless radio communication is successfully used. The thing that makes this method even more interesting today is the convergence of technologies pf powerful microprocessors with reduced consumption, with the technologies of huge radio devices that also have a reduces power consumption.
