AC powered monitor allows for higher Tx power from monitor, and higher Rx sensitivity at monitor, so the sensor can be lower power.

Stays with Patient, but can be moved to other areas with battery backup and WiFi to Internet Hub.

9. doc.: IEEE 15-13-0036-00-004n Submission Jan 2013 Rick Powell (Microsemi)Slide 9 Options Patient Monitor can be separate from the Hub The Hub can be a body worn device that acts as the Gateway to home or hospital network Give better patient mobility at the cost of high power Hub that must be body worn by patient
