1.Wi-Fine

Wi-Fine is a wireless mobile self-organizing protocol designed for low-cost, low-power, and mobile devices. It is a lightweight, distributed wireless mobile self-organizing protocol.

(1) Advantages:

* Large network coverage: A single network can be extended through the deployment of multiple gateways; each gateway can manage up to 255 devices, with a star-shaped topology.

* Low power consumption: Supports various sleep modes, including autonomous sleep, asynchronous sleep, synchronous sleep, and hybrid sleep, to meet the requirements of most low-power applications.

* Strong anti-interference capability: Wi-Fine communication technology uses spread-spectrum modulation technology, which has strong anti-interference capabilities and can maintain stable data transmission in complex environments.
