For high speed devices, Ethernet and WiFi is the typical communication mediums used. For very
low power devices such as battery driven devices, a sister protocol to WiFi is used that is called
the IEEE 802.15.4.
IEEE 802.15.4 has about the same range as WiFi and normally operates on the same ISM band,
2.4GHz. There are Sub-GHz solutions for IEEE 802.15.4 as well but for normal high density
installations, it is not required for reach.
