The gateway and endpoint nodes communicate over multiple wireless channels within the 902-928MHz 

ISM Spectrum.  Different configurations of internal & external antennas and different RF power options 

allow you to customize the wireless range from a few feet to > 10000’. The implementation of FHSS 

methodology allows for reliable communications even in harsh industrial environments. The gateway 

station and endpoint nodes communicate with acknowledge handshaking to verify reception of data. Error 

checking is also performed to validate the data transmission.  

The Gateway and Endpoint node communications always collect signal strength information. The 

collected data can help gauge the strength and performance of the wireless signals. The received signal 

strength can be adjusted by various parameters such as the TX power settings and Receiver Sensitivity 

Modes. Hardware configurations can also impact the signal strength, such as internal / external antenna and 

antenna placement.
