Lowcost Wireless Equipment?

Posted by Cliff on from the simple-mindless-radio-based-interface dept.

simpleSilly asks: "We are currently using iPaq's with 802.11b in a wireless scenario. We have about 30 of them in use at once. We need to expand to about 100 but we are looking for a lower cost solution for a special application. We really have a very very simple application. We only need to record keypresses from the user and send them to a server. The user only needs 6 buttons. They do not even need a screen (although it's a plus) no sound is needed. We do need them wireless and battery powered. The wireless range needs to be about 200 ft. We need to have 100 of them working at once. We need them durable too. Any ideas slashdot readers?"

    Maybe you can ask Regis where he got his from?

    Or are you Regis?

    And it has good range. Especially if you shout.
