WIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM USING VARIABLE POWER DUAL MODULATION TRANSCEIVERS
First Claim
1. A wireless control system configured for operative association with a first controller for generating and processing information for controlling one or more devices, said wireless control system comprising:
- a first transceiver operatively associated with the first controller and configured for operation in two or more modulation modes, wherein each modulation mode is configured to generate and receive radio frequency (RF) signals configured in a predetermined format for wireless transfer of the information; and
one or more second transceivers operatively associated with the first transceiver and configured for operation in the two or more modulation modes, wherein each of the second transceivers is operatively associated with one or more of the devices thereby enabling provision of the information for control of the one or more devices.

Abstract
A wireless control system that operates in Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency bands that employs one or more variable power dual modulation radio frequency transceiver-controllers that are capable of receiving and/or transmitting signals and communicating with each other over a configurable range, from short to long range. The wireless control system is suitable for use in a wide range of medical, industrial, agricultural, military and commercial applications, including, for example, the management of irrigation systems, manufacturing processes, security systems, sewage treatment and handling systems, hospital management systems, tracking systems, ground telemetry systems, environmental monitoring systems for agriculture, viticulture, pipelines and dams, HVAC management systems, water, gas and electrical metering, parking meters, asset and equipment tracking, traffic control, fire protection, public space management, intruder detection and biological research.
