Sure.This webpage: https://www.cooking-hacks.com/documentation/tutorials/sigfox-connectivity-arduino-raspberry-pi-868mhz-europe-900mhz-us/
It's a very long page. Chapter 2.3 specifies those time I mentioned before
And then chapter 3.3 has some examples on how to send (without) and send with ACK.What I'm trying to do is (hopefully) save on battery power as I guess if the radio is ON for 60 seconds every 15 minutes it will be wasting way more power than if it powers on for 6 seconds.
Thanks
Okay, I have read this page before when I was doing XBee work.
Basically, this is like TCP and UDP. UDP has less overhead and tends to be faster than TCP. The Con is that you are not sure that the information was delivered to the destination. UDP packets may be dropped and you would never know it. TCP would ask for retransmission of missing packets.
it comes down to which is more "valuable" to you:
battery Life or data integrity.
when working with the XBee and battery, we went with solar panel chargers for the LIPO Battery.
those sites which were considered too important had to have electric power lines run to them and use
power supply with the XBee.
