Description:BACKGROUND
Field of Invention
[001] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a communication system and particularly to a short and long range communication based wireless monitoring system for monitoring a premise.
Description of Related Art
[002] In recent years, monitoring and maintenance of building infrastructure has become increasingly vital as structures grow in complexity and scale. For ensuring safety, security, and environmental conditions within buildings demands a continuous supervision and an ability to detect potential issues promptly.
[003] Historically, traditional methods of monitoring the building infrastructure relied heavily on manual inspections and wired networks for data transmission. This often involves significant human effort and high costs. The wired networks, while useful in some situations, have many limitations when it comes to modern buildings. The wired networks need physical cables that further lead to several issues, especially when used in large or complex buildings. These cables slow down an installation process, limit the ability to move around, and make maintenance more difficult. Additionally, these networks struggle to monitor hard-to-reach areas, which reduces their overall effectiveness.
[004] With technological progress, there's been a growing need for solutions that are more independent and portable. Wireless technologies have stepped up as major contributors to enhancing mobility and adaptability in monitoring systems. These technologies make it easier to access and manage building systems remotely. Consequently, the adoption of wireless communication standards in monitoring systems has increased, providing benefits such as the ability to collect data in real-time, lower operational expenses, and greater system adaptability. Despite these advancements, existing wireless monitoring solutions are fragmented, employing distinct communication protocols that cater to either short-range or long-range transmissions. These systems can be constrained by the need for multiple networks to cover different monitoring needs, leading to inefficiencies in coordination, data management, and cost-effectiveness.
[005] There is thus a need for an improved and advanced short and long range communication based wireless monitoring system for monitoring of a premise that can administer the aforementioned limitations in a more efficient manner.
