SYSTEM DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

The Niles RFG Radio Frequency Gateway is a highly flexible tool that allows system designers to add a ZigBee radio transmitter/receiver to Niles MultiZone products or extend the Radio Frequency receiver of the Niles HT-MSU Home Theater Main System Unit.

Multiple RFGs are used to create a RF mesh network. RF mesh networks require at least a transmitter and a receiver, however in large installations repeater bases can be used.
