Hello guys,
I am new to this forum, so sorry if there is something I don't understand.
I spent a lot of time looking around for a really fast rf Transceiver, that can stream videos. I want to send a video via a cheap Smartphone to the Arduino (probably an UNO) and send it from there on via a rf Transceiver to another Arduino (UNO) to display it on my Smartphone. So you could say, I want to build a long bridge between two Smartphones.
The problem of my project is, that the approximate distance is about 100m.
I just need a small hint in a direction, even if it doesn't include the Arduino for the communication.
(I will still use it for controlling motors etc.)
Thanks for your help
Chris
No matter what transceiver you have an Arduino Uno is not fast enough and does not have enough memory for a decent sized still image, never mind video.
This sounds like a job for a RaspberryPi.

Raspberry Pi would be an option, but I still have the problem with the Transceiver... Also, would it work with another Arduino?
Thank you already

No. I don't know of any Arduino that would be suitable.
I have no experience of a RaspberryPi and I thought it would be more productive for you to enquire about a suitable transceiver on an RPi forum where people might know how to do what you want.

The Arduino DUE may, only because it is a lot faster and with more RAM to play with, but even then, it sounds to me this application is not suited to a basic microcontroller, rather, more for a system with dedicated image or video hardware to deal with the data stream.
Regarding RF transceiver, if you are wanting to use a smartphone as an end point, then you will be needing to use a communications link already in the smartphone, such as WiFi, correct ?
I want to build a long bridge between two Smartphones.
Having visions of long four lane bridge
How long is long, 2 metres or 200 metres or 2000 metres ?
Overall, the Arduino species is not going to be a workable solution.

Thank you a lot, guys. Your tipps were pretty helpfull. Now I know, that I have to use a long range WIFI module or something similar. The problem for me with a Pi is just, that I don't have any experience with it, but I guess I have to figuere that out.
Thanks again
Chris
