You can perform a successful design without monitoring CTS. However, you need to take into account the amount
of latency the radio adds to the system, any additional latency caused by Transmit Retries or Broadcast Attempts,
how often you send data, non-delivery network timeouts and interface data rate. Polled type networks, where the
server host requests data from the client host and the client host responds, are good candidates for avoiding the
use of CTS. This is because no single transceiver can monopolize the RF link. Asynchronous type networks, where
any radio can send to another radio at any point in time, are much more difficult to implement without the use of
CTS.
