1. A communication technology selection device for a radio frequency based sensing system with a plurality of nodes, the radio frequency based sensing system being configured for performing radio frequency based sensing using one or more of two or more different communication technologies,
wherein the communication technology selection device is configured for selecting a first communication technology for performing radio frequency based sensing in the radio frequency based sensing system for one or more first nodes of the plurality of nodes based on one or more first parameters related to the radio frequency based sensing in the radio frequency based sensing system by the first nodes to perform a first function, and for selecting a second communication technology for performing radio frequency based sensing in the radio frequency based sensing system for one or more second nodes of the plurality of nodes based on one or more second parameters related to the radio frequency based sensing in the radio frequency based sensing system by the second nodes to perform a second function, wherein the radio frequency based sensing is sensing for presence of one or more humans or pets within one or more specific volumes covered by an arrangement of the first nodes and the second nodes;
wherein the two or more communication technologies include one or more narrowband communication technologies and one or more wideband communication technologies; and
wherein the communication technology selection device is configured to cause the one or more first nodes to use the first selected communication technology and simultaneously to cause the one or more second nodes to use the second selected communication technology for performing radio frequency based sensing.
