ZIGBEE RF NETWORK
When designing an RF network it is important to know that at least one Master Base
and one End-Point are needed. Repeater bases are used to expand the coverage area
of the RF network. Multiple hops can be used in a RF network design, however great
care should be used to not exceed more than four hops. To count the hops, start from an
end-point, and then add one for each Repeater Base used between the End-Point and the
Master Base. See
Figure 1 for basic RF network system design.
