!±8± Selecting a Dog Fence Wireless - RF vs. Wi-Fi

Until this year, if you wanted a fence wireless dog, the only game in town was the PetSafe IF-300. With traditional technology of radio waves, the SE-300 offers a range of up to 90 feet there is a cover of 0.5 hectares. RU-300 works well and gets good reviews from our customers, but the choice is limited its usefulness. According to simplify all the most common use for wireless systems with their circular containment area of rural properties, where a field of 90 meterssmall.

Edge technologies in April 2009 the introduction of a fence wireless containment system on the Wi-Fi wireless technology, which is the wireless router, which in most nursing homes will be used. This has two important advantages, coverage and possibility of bidirectional communication. He also has a major drawback, the consumption of energy.

The wireless dog fence containment claims a radius of 200 meters there is a containment area of over 2.5 hectares, a significant improvementthe IF-300. Although we would like to see something even bigger, maybe with WiMax, which reported a range of more than a mile. WiFi is still a large enough coverage area for your dog to some real room to get.

The enclosure also has a wireless two-way communication between the Federation and the base station, the owner tells you immediately how much walking the dog. I would also like to be notified immediately when the dog challenges the boundary, when the battery is running low, or if the connection between the collarand the base station is lost. This warning is very useful and we hope that is finding wider acceptance, particularly since the early days of training, you are constantly worried about when the dog escaped.

The disadvantage is that the Wi-Fi is notoriously power hungry, so we are concerned that this is the poor battery life. The collar of the dog fence WiFi is not rechargeable and is probably owned, so we know that the perimeter has solved this problem hope, because the feature set should make thisthe new leader for the wireless dog containment.
