Spending time is however many times returned in form of obtained data or knowledge which telemetry system can provide. Usage of telemetry can be found in many areas from military through biomedical to real medical applications. Modern way to create a wireless sensors remotely connected to central system with artificial intelligence provide many new, sometimes unusual ways to get a knowledge about remote objects behaviour. This book is intended to present some new up to date accesses to telemetry problems solving by use of new sensors conceptions, new wireless transfer or communication techniques, data collection or processing techniques as well as several real use case scenarios describing model examples. The book is split to several sections containing one or more chapters. The text starts with a first section “Sensors” (contain 4 chapters) describing new sensor architectures, communication strategies between them as well as description of same modern ways to develop sensors. Second section “Telemetry Data Mining” introduces problems related to telemetry, satellite, autonomy, etc. This section contains one very well structured chapter. Telemetry Use Cases focused on the theme of biomedical, medical, animal as well as military, are considered in following four sections containing the rest 16 chapters. These chapters deals with many real cases of telemetry issues which can be used as a cookbooks for Your own telemetry related problems.
