We're designing a street light control & monitoring system, which has: solar + induction lamp. Each street light has a wireless communication modules to send/receive data to a central module, which has a GPRS module to send/receive all the data back to the server..
We're not pro at wireless so we decided to use a wireless module, which is ready made.
There are a lot of wireless modules on the market: Z-wave, Zigbee,… that make it hard for me to choose. I don't know the pros & cons of Z-wave, Zigbbe… although I've tried to read a lot, but google seems not to give me any clarification.
