I am wondering what choice of frequency and protocol to select:
- 433 MHz (good old AM/FM??!)
- 2.4GHz WiFi (802.11)
- 2.4GHz Zigbee


In what geographic location do you expect to operate this equipment?
Do you expect to write or to buy the baseband encoder/decoder firmware?

Unless designing this stuff is your bread and butter, I'd suggest
buying it all off the shelf. There are 900MHz and 2.4GHz solutions that
might work for you... an easy off-the-shelfer is MaxStream (but not
exactly cheap).
