Hii all.
I want to select the best wireless technologies (BLE? ANT? Custom RF Sub-1Ghz?) to implement the following project:
Any advice would be highly appreciated. I have started looking at ANT but I’m not sure if it is really the best implementation.
To illustrate better the use case, imagine wireless game controllers. (up to 16 of them). I'd like up to 16 players to be able to play a sport video game together wirelessly in front of the SAME screen (we are not taking internet gaming). The data flow from the game controller to the game console is quite small. Yet latency is super important, and you don't want a player to be privileged more than another so you want either simultaneous channels, or a very fast cycling/scheduling reading of all the sensors.
THANKS FOR ANY ADVICE!

Hello kickass,
This sounds like an interesting application. Those who monitor this forum typically support the NI-WSN products ( http://www.ni.com/wsn/ ), which sound like they would not be an appropriate system to implement for your application as they are for applications which require sample rates of around 1 S/s. They use ZigBee technology and can be battery-powered.
What devices are you using? Are you planning on using LabVIEW to enable communication and control with your devices? If so, perhaps posting to the LabVIEW Forums may be your best bet in getting some wide-ranged advice from our community.
I hope this helps!
