ETSI  and  CEPT)  
§ Uses  ISM  band  902MHz  in  the  USA
§ Up  to  140  messages  per  object  per  day
§ Payload  size  for  each  message  is  12  bytes
§ European  regulation  governing  the  868MHz  band  enforces  a  
transmission  duty  cycle  of  1%
Ø A  unique  device  is  therefore  not  allowed  to  emit  more  than  1%  of  the  time  each  
hour
Ø Since  emission  of  a  message  can  take  up  to  ~6  seconds,  this  allows  up  to  6  
messages  per  hour
§ Long  range  30-­50km  in  rural  areas
§ Range  reduced  to  between  3  and  10km  in  urban  areas
