Messages are communicated via a backbone radio network, which makes use of
Repeaters to relay messages around the network.
Due to the multi-hop nature of the backbone network, the physical shape and size of the
network is defined by the layout of the Repeaters, which may be in 3 dimensions e.g.
covering multiple floors in a building.
EkoTek is truly wireless (only the Hub needs AC power), making installation and
expansion very quick and easy.
