2.3.4 Reliable radio transmission within systems operating many sensors
The very short telegrams of EnOcean transmitters enable the operating of a large number of
transmitters within the same radio cell; the error rate caused by telegram collisions remains
extremely low. Statistically viewed, the transmission reliability is still greater than 99.99% in
the case of 100 radio sensors that transmit once every minute. This means that even large
office buildings and also huge industrial facilities can be equipped with a large number of
sensors of this kind of radio technology.
