Hello,
I'm developing an wireless modular EMG for amputee that will consist of some wireless modules, each module with a flexible number of wired channels:

Each chanel will be acquired at 16bit 2ksps. Considering 4 EMG chanels per local module it would need 192kbps of data rate [(16bit data + 8bit preamble)*4ch*2ksps].

So the requeriments for the project is:

- at least 192kbps of data rate for each module
- No need for great distances (just few centimeters)
- Low power (each module will be very low size and battery powered)
- Time dependant (the modules needs to be synchronized or at least send data with a timestamp)
- Very low delay (100ms maximum)

I'm newbie working with wireless interface, so i would appreciate opinions from someone who already did some similar project, like what kind of technology (bluetooth, zigbee, z-wave, sub ghz), manufacturer, general tips, etc

Thank!!!
