    Hi,

    I want to take some data at my house and transmit to another house. Basically I need to send some data wirelessly from one house to another once aday automatically.

    Ive though about some ideas:

    (1) Connect a device to the telephone which "rings" a receiveing module on the other side?

    (2) GPRS Device, Is it possible? How much do they cost? :confused:

    Can anyone give me any advice. It would be better if it was cheap.:D

    Many thanks for any suggestions

    I can think of a few cheapish ways to go about it , would it be serial port stuff or something with ethernet do ya ?

    Hi Bushy,

    I don't want to use a PC at all. I want to put together some device that takes some readings from hardware and sends it to a receiving module. I was think about some form of GPRS device or via atelephone line:confused:

    Hi, maybe have a look here www.stompboxnetworks.com (from another post on boards) , guy is running a small SBC with a gprs card.If the hop isn't too long you could use wifi.

    Thanks, interesting but I don't think its suitable.

    What I want to do is to take data from a remote location and send it back to a server. So, perhaps some device connected to a telephone line may be the way to o?

    Ive looked at a number of GPRS devices but they are extremely expensive.

    Thanks.
