OH DANG! Nice. Psh yeah you can run a whole facility operation off that kind of bandwidth.
You can probably do a lot better than your estimation with some clever coding schemes.
Your scheme is only optimal if each flag has an independent 50% chance of being set or unset.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succinct_data_structure for some examples.
Depends how many seconds per day you use them :)
I'm imagining a small, lone device mounted to a post somewhere in the wilderness. Probably solar powered.
This could work for alerting/notifications in such a case.
A larger sensor array installation probably has enough power and space available for better options.
I guess if you have enough power to run a ML server, cameras, and remote sensors, you probably have normal internet though, eh?
