I have used the Radiometrix BIM-433-F transceiver which is sold via the usual elecrtonics catalogues. It's a 433MHz half-duplex transmitter/receiver (34x23x8mm) at 56 UK pounds. We tested it in a stone building and found we could just communicate at (...) (23 years ago, 23-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)

I should have removed the word "messenger". After all, doing something by "proxy" would imply a messenger-type role. What I meant was, for DeviceA to send a message to DeviceB, they would have to use some sort of proxy or router between them (the (...) (23 years ago, 23-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) The brick version doesn't really mean a lot (other than that version 1.0 bricks had the external power jack).
