VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012

4.2.4 Topology of radio cell

The radio network is of a star formation, and each sensor unit com-

municates with the bridge through bidirectional communication.

The individual sensor units cannot communicate with each other.

This ensures that additional sensor units can be added to a cell at

any time without affecting the existing components. The failure or

switching off of a sensor unit does not in any way affect the rest

of the network.
