Abstract

Radio Frequency (RF) becomes very popular as wireless communication medium for control technology. Wireless control technology could be accomplished via RFID, WIFI or Bluetooth. Each has its own strength and specific purposes. Between WIFI and Bluetooth, WIFI has better advantages with regards to strength, multi user, distance and etc. While Bluetooth is for single user and short distance. Nevertheless Bluetooth is free means without subscription with Telco. Transmission distance for Bluetooth is short therefore this project is targeting to design an extender for extending the distance of transmission. The design has been tested for one application involves with monitoring system for guard house. A single user communication between house and guard house through 3 Bluetooth Extenders has been experimented with aim to overview its transmission effectiveness. The result shows the transmission is very reliable and consistent in terms of valid data sent and received.
